Important dems are in a holding pattern to see how his Friday interview goes. If it's a nightmare - I wonder if Biden will go "It's my turn - again!" mode and tell them all to fuck off. The stress could make him melt down and make him seem like somebody's senile, hateful Facebook grandpa and the could be toast in the election.

Libs won't admit it but Americans hate underdogs when it comes to politics. Biden's loser stink could fuck the chances of dems down ballot.

He's done imo. No way Pelosi said this without heavy donor pressure, she's way too shrewd and cautious.

Latest is he hopes to save himself with a good interview on Friday, and a couple of public appearances, but there's no going back from the debate. What if he crushed it, the party stays with him, and his brains leak out of his ears again in October?

What if he crushed it...

The dem machine might stick with him and hope and pray that there's no brain leakage before election day.
