Holy Schiff!

Now, what/who does Schiff think they are going to run in place of Biden? In recent head-to-head polls, Harris is routinely polling 10 points lower than Biden against Trump.

Does Schiff want to leapfrog the DEI VP?

Apparently Schumer is on the "Pass the torch, Joe" wagon as well.

After all the waffling and finger in the wind policy statements, no one else….and I mean no one… could possibly win.

One day we'll all look back at this and laugh.

Just an observation...Seems like the GOP bench is much deeper.

Hypothetical...Trump wins in November. He's term limited and can't run again. Just imagine who all would declare... Hailey, Vance, DeSantis, Youngkin, and more ...

[Mik]

Schiff for brains.

Now compare that to the dearth of viable talent from the other party.

Trump will anoint Don Jr.

Four months ago, Schiff was outraged that Hur commented on Biden's mental acuity.

Biden is not dead….he just smells funny.

I can see him dropping out but not endorsing Harris is something I never would have foreseen. It’s too good to be true.

A little underreported story that got buried due to the assassination attempt - Joe had a call with House Dems on Saturday, trying to get them to line up behind him. According to reports, he was worse than he was at the debate. Officials expected there to be dozens of Congressmen calling for him to fall on the sword on Sunday morning, but the shooting forestalled them.
