If Democrats are confused about how to handle tough questions about their nominee's fitness for office, they can just look at the thousands of examples of Republicans avoiding, deflecting, and redirecting similar questions about Trump over the past 8 years.

Biden being old is baked in and always has been. The party had plenty of opportunities to dump him 14 months ago. Doing this now, in response to a media narrative, makes them look like venal, craven fools

Also: this is a tempest in a teapot. The NYT cannot get POTUS to resign. They are punch drunk on power after Harvard and Dr Gay.

They don't want Biden in, as a person who used to specialize in research on this they want to prep a narrative for the fall of a technically illegitimate election. It's not a move to stop it, it's a move to delegitimize.

Now everyone--The Times and, sorry to say, MSNBC--is noting every missed syllable. The man has a stutter. I don't stutter but I am a mushmouth who speaks too fast and slurs words. I've had to overcome fear of public speaking. I have empathy for Biden. The press has empathy for no one (but Trump).

Tell me I'm wrong: A bunch of the media and donor class panicked, for good reason, after the debate. Made a big coordinated push to make Biden step aside. Didn't work, wounding pride of lots of big egos. Now too miffed to concede so stuck denying that Biden can win to justify continued aid to Trump.

Biden's flub required immediate action against the narrative and they continued standard operations after it. You needed to shift the entire comms strategy. We'll see how the interview goes tonight, but one interview on a Friday isn't going to cut it. He needs to do things daily until it's better.

Nobody fucking wants to deal with gpt chat bots, nobody wants shitty genai writing clogging their inbox, nobody wants google to return ai results. This entire thing is propped up by executives who are convinced that everybody wants this, and they talk to one another.

this is powered by absolutely unbridled narcissism . it's why you get mastubatory fanfic like shadi hamid's pretend biden resignation speech. all absolutely confident they could win an election and be a successful president better. they already excel in the hardest job right? (columnist/journo).

i refuse to believe that americans who watched the debate think that biden’s first 15 minutes are somehow stronger evidence of old age decline than falling asleep, *in public*, DURING YOUR OWN FUCKING CRIMINAL TRIAL, *IN COURT IN FRONT OF THE JUDGE AND JURY*, but, you know, i’m not a columnist.

Johnny McEntee, one of Trump's most loyal deputies who is in regular contact with him, is literally one of the people collecting resumes for staffers who would implement Project 2025. Shame on any journalistic outfit who takes this "truth" at face value.

If Trump knows nothing about Project 2025 he's way more out of it than Biden. (Trump is lying but he is, in fact, way more out of it than Biden, who may be in fact be too out of it to be president).

Biden should just refuse to allow the NYT to attend WH press briefings going forward & release a statement that its because they cannot be trusted. One President already undermined them to half the country. The next one doing it will finish them off. Sulz wants to play this game, they should oblige

Just like none of the bold investigators backfilling Joe Biden's feeble debate performance with punchy anonymous quotes have ever figured out why Trump was rushed to Walter Reed, claimed he wanted a spur-of-the-moment weekend checkup, and a year later declared that he had NOT had a series of strokes

one of trump's strokes of genius (and yes I think he is an evil genius) is just not having any written policy positions any time anyone says "so you support X" he can just say "no I don't" he does it over and over again, and the media never calls him on it

they need to fucking throw biden in front of the media as much they can. surprise appearances at pressers. have him take a public walk to the steps of SCOTUS for a speech and questions. for once the media wants to see biden as much as possible. fucking give it to them in the best way you can.

I have no idea the best path re Biden but I do know a solid week straight of “Biden Old” and “Rich Dems Worried” above-the-fold stories are *obscene* in the face of SCOTUS using the Constitution to wipe their asses purely in the service of reinstating a felon rapist as president. Crazy-making shit.

clear from the answers at the debate that the overall comms strategy is absolutely fucking backwards. you call him a felon from the first time you speak. you rip into any idiot suggesting he would do better on anything. no slow explanations of what trump left you to deal with, just blast him.

this is a narrative you had to get ahead of immediately & it feels like biden's team wasn't particularly worried about it. the times is not going to report on a rally the next day. you are the president. make the news. decide the next day was the time for an oval office address about project 2025.
