What is the future for POTUS ? - 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports on the speech by President Biden at a election rally in Michigan, the 12.57am post is as follows, " Biden: 'Stop treating politics like reality TV'..."It's not a joke. It's time for us to stop treating politics like entertainment and reality TV," says Biden.  "

Lets Get Real:

This shows how out of date POTUS is, the American election process has become part reality show since the 1960 election, JFK was better on  TV than Nixon, thus the Camelot years, even if it was all PR.   It was conformed by the elections since 1980, the candidates good on TV won, Reagan, Bush 41, Clinton, Bush 43, Obama, Trump, the exception you can argue was 2020, and Biden was hiding in his Delaware Bunker and the press covered for him, they hated Trump.   This blow does not like Trump but does not hate him, there is a difference.   The 1st Trump and Biden debate was a disaster for Biden, thus 12 days later we are still stalking about it, the process is like Chinese water torture, we watch to see if Biden makes a mistake, he did during the NATO Summit, he called the President of the Ukraine, President Putin and called his own Vice President, VP Trump.  The rally speech was okay, POTUS did mumble a  few times, but he had a teleprompter, he has NBC interview set for Monday, that will be another test, Trump must be laughing his backside off, the Republican Convention starts on Monday, one does hope the Democratic mess comes to end, one way or another!! 

What George Clooney wrote - Actor and Democratic fundraiser - 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election

Sky News: Reports " In a withering critique, Clooney continues: "It's devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fundraiser was not the Joe 'big f***ing deal' Biden of 2010. He wasn't even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate." "

Lets Get Real:

The Democrats have been saying that Trump is a threat to democracy, but only few have shown a profile in courage and come out and say that the Biden time is over. One hopes with Mr Clooney's article in the NYT that more will come out, Joe Biden is loved, that is not enough with the threat from Trump, it would be better for Biden to say if he was leaving before the Republican Convention or the people will think that that the Democrats are playing games if they do it after the Republican Convention but before the Democratic Convention.  This blog still thinks that Biden will be the nominee, but politics is a fickle game at best, the Democrats have to decide if they will follow Biden as  Custer (Reagan played Custer in a film, Biden is no Reagan ) in to the final battle, even with the same result as Custer.  I would still bet on Biden for the nomination. 

George Clooney wants Biden OUT - Actor and major fundraiser - 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election

BBC News: Reports " Top Democratic fundraiser Clooney calls on Biden to drop out....George Clooney has issued a damning call for Joe Biden to quit the US presidential race, hours after senior Democrat Nancy Pelosi swerved questions about whether he should continue.  "

Lets Get Real:

Mr Clooney is a clever man, he must have known what his article for the New York Times would do, he has played a crooked politician in the Ideas of March, he is a Hollywood Star and fundraiser for the Democrats.   There has been talk he might go in to politics, it would be way to make an entrance, to bring down a President.  This blog thought the talk of replacing Biden was over, that was a mistake, Biden is tough SOB, he will not want to be seen as being pushed out, all Presidents miss AF1 when they have gone, also Marine 1 is not to bad and you get the White House with servants.    The Biden family must talk to POTUS and his the First Lady and their son Hunter, this mess is below the dignity of the Presidency. Time has broken the dam, will POTUS remain the nominee of the Democratic Party.  

Biden to send NEW Military Kit to the Ukraine - 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election - Biden Era

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 10.55pm post the following, " Biden announces US and allies to provide Ukraine with air defense system...The US and partners will be providing Ukraine with dozes of new tactical air defense system, Biden announced.  "

Lets Get Real:

This was good speech by POTUS, yes it was the teleprompter, the real test for the press will be press conference, can he get though that with taking questions.   The White House press core feel burned by the Biden Oval they will be out for blood.  I can be postulated that POTUS has won the right to be the Democratic nominee of the Party, even if the Democrats have shown no profile in courage, what they think in private is different than what they say to the press.  This does blog does not want to hear morality lessons from the Democrats and the press again, the Democrats sold that out with the press when they did not cover JFK, and his women.    As for the Presidential speech it was good, showing before Trump, it was Reagan's Republican Party, and defended NATO.  The Ukraine will bet more military kit, this blog will postulated that it will take American troops to finish the WAR in the Ukraine, even President Wilson got that fact in 1917/18.   One hopes the press will go back covering the 2024 election, and go after Trump and his appeasement of Putin of Russia.

New PM off to Washington D.C - NATO Summit and 75th birthday - Sir Keir Starmer/Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 6.41pm post the following, " Starmer labels Russia's attack on Ukraine children's hospital 'appalling'.....Asked further about his election promise of increasing defence spending, Starmer said a strategic review would be carried out and that he is committed to spending 2.5% of GDP "within our fiscal rules". "

Lets Get Real:

This is the right tone by the new PM, support for the Ukraine, and the promise to increase spending on defence by 2.5% in time.  The Russians might not give him the time.   The PM should be careful not to be dragged in to the debate about Biden's health.  POTUS is not going anywhere, he has made that clear, also the Democrats have shown they do not have have a profile in courage, so the Democrats are stuck with Biden.   The rebels who wanted Biden out, will have to make it clear that they support POTUS and think he can win, even if they do not think that is reality.   This blog is surprised that Russian has not tried anything with the Baltic States or Poland, if I was Putin and this mess was going on in D.C  I would try something after 8pm Washington time, Biden likes to go to sleep after 8.   The NATO members have to support the Ukraine, the War will last years, as did WW1, till the US does something as President Wilson did in 1918, by sending troops to Europe.

Does President Biden have Parkinson's or Alzheimers ? 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election

Sky News: Reports " President Biden not being treated for Parkinson's, White House says, amid questions over doctor's visit...Concerns around Joe Biden's health have risen since his poor showing in a TV debate with Donald Trump. The president insisted on Monday he was "firmly committed" to staying in the race."

Lets Get Real:

Democratic Presidents have a habit of laying about their health, Woodrow Wilson about his stroke, FDR that he could walk, he had polio, JFK about his Addison disease and TV's West Wing President that he had MS.  The voters have a right to know that President Biden does not have Parkinson's disease or some form of dementia, that would explain his debate performance.   The White House is fighting back, that is good, as POTUS has stated, he is the only one to have beaten Trump, and Trump is the security threat to the US to the Western Europe and the pushing the Russians out of the Ukraine.  The Democrats have shown that they do not have a profile in courage when it comes to Biden.

Leading Democrat CALLS for Biden to DROP OUT - 2024 Candidates/General Election 2024

BBC News - Live Blog Reports in its 10.41pm post the following,  " Top Democratic Congressman: 'Biden should end his candidacy...'Adam Smith, a senior House Democrat, has publicly called on Joe Biden to end his candidacy "as soon as possible".  "

Lets Get Real:

This is the latest Democrat to put his head up from the trench, to call for POTUS to go, the Biden Oval has not been quiet, it has send a letter to Democrats in Congress with firm message that the President is staying in the race and has said the same by phoning a TV morning show that he likes.   One does have the feeling has passed, and POTUS will be the Democratic nominee, the Democrats will need to Unite, they must beat Trump, POTUS has stated that Trump is dangerous to the US Democracy, well he will have to watch his step, every mistake will be reported, the media think they have been conned by the Biden Oval, they will want to nail him, so no falling down, no mumbling of speech, the Presidential race has been reset.
