When the Joe Biden Classified documents scandal starting to gain legs I said this:
It may be that the reason this is coming out at all is that the deep state / Obama administration has decided they don’t want Biden in 2024 as the Democrat candidate so they intend to slowly leak stuff like this out until they can convince enough Democrats that he is no longer remains a viable candidate.
and this:
The only thing Joe Biden is really skilled at besides collecting his 10% is going after his enemies so if you are the left and want Biden to go quietly into the sunset you need something like this to get it done.
It seemed that all the media was going out against him, that the word was out that it was open season on Biden and once January 20th had come and Harris was now eligible to be elected twice if he went, it was time to push him out.
Then came the Mike Pence story and suddenly the narrative shifted and the word was Pence had just given Biden a lifeline:
Because of Pence’s stupidity, the narrative will shift to blaming the system in order to excuse Biden’s criminality. This was the lifeline the president needed.”
The author linked by Insty is quite right that this is a lifeline to Biden, but it’s not a lifeline for Democrats in 2024.
You see if they could push Biden out without a primary you could go with Newsom or Harris or anyone else and not only deflect the blame for all that has gone wrong in the last four years but it removes the potential rematch with two records side by side which might produce a result beyond the margin of theft.
But as I noted the one thing Joe Biden is good at is attacking and survival and Pence’s move while a lifeline to Biden also translates into an anchor around the neck of the Democrat party for 2024.
Closing thought, if you want to see a lifeline for Democrats here is the real one
