It is hard for me to believe the Dems did not prepare for this. Mind-boggling.

[tisha]

If Biden digs his heels in until next month, the DNC is going to be interesting.

[brandonyankowski]

It's crazy this wasn't a story 4 years ago, it was a media cover up, or they didn't notice 😅

[daboys]

Holy shit. Biden is even more delusional than I thought.

So we admit that big money runs America ?

[stardust]

Its like trying to tell your elderly relative they need to stop driving when they think they are fine.

[VPDJTrump]

He isn't going anywhere. Jill and Hunter won't allow it.

[noman]

Clearly he has his own best interest in mind instead of the country and the people of his party. That's a fact.

[maryhill]

I would never have said this a few weeks ago.... but his ego is dangerous.

[hilldweller]

Democrats and big money donors… so much for the people, by the people…

[robertlange]

This entire Biden saga is a direct reflection of the failing "Biden Administration". They should have moved on and selected a new candidate months ago, STOP parading him around like a pet, it's sick...

This is why I don’t allow voting in my country ❤ — Chairman Kim

[ericp]

You know your party messed up when the billionaire elite donors are asking for an open convention lmao

[filemonilauilefue]

Democratic Lawmakers are listening to their donors, not their voters.

[wickedsarasota]

They talk like biden is thinking about anything

[TLC]

Rise to the occasion? The man can barely walk.

[tbkn]

Democrats completely lost me. I'm done with the lies and being treated like i don't have eyes, ears, don't go to grocery store or understand that millions of people coming into the country is problematic.

[DKTT-qj]

This is America, and we should not be ashamed of speaking about it.

[raymondglaser]

I dont think you can win without money. Lol. That's my life .

"Look at the survey, 65% of Americans...."
Next sentence:
"The polling data has been wrong all along"
You couldn't make this up 😂😂😂
