It’s one of the most concrete examples yet of the fallout from President Biden’s poor debate performance. His rival, Donald J. Trump, said he might announce a running mate during the Republican convention next week.

hard to think of better support for Biden's argument that rich elites are behind all this

how do you think he got elected in the first place who-did-this

What is killing me is that even on a superficial level - these sorts of lib arguments make no sense at all. It's insane to think Biden is an actual populist. And nobody wants to back a loser. Why would the rich give a lot money to somebody they thought was going to lose? The rich always want a quid pro quo. They want to back a winner so they can get a sweet return on their investment - erm - I mean donation. This is the simplest fundamental stuff from Capitalism-slash-Democracy 101.
