This is the best summary I could come up with:


“Denial” isn’t just a river which runs through Egypt — its banks also surround the Biden White House, submerging it in a pool of fantasy.

Last November, Axelrod —a senior adviser to President Barack Obama and now an analyst for CNN — suggested that Biden may want to drop out of the race.

Over at the New York Times on Feb. 16, Klein — before taking it back after being subject to massive criticism from the left and after Biden’s State of the Union Address — released an audio opinion essay titled “Democrats Have a Better Option than Biden.” It’s a very logical and powerful piece.

To be sure, almost all the arguments — Alexrod’s and Klein’s included — were folded around the joint worries about Biden’s advanced age as well as his perceived cognitive issues.

To be sure, the Democrats who do feel Biden is now a liability to holding the White House are deeply concerned about Trump’s poll numbers, his massive base, his increased fundraising and his more locked-down, disciplined campaign.

These “uncommitted” results came after far-left activists pushed voters to refrain from voting for Biden in protest over a host of issues — most especially his handling of the war between Israel and Hamas.
