Writes Frank Bruni, in "The Election of Magical Thinking" (NYT).
Is it just dangerous illusion and hope of "sorcery" that has us thinking about ways to replace Biden as the Democratic candidate?! Biden plainly looks and sounds as though he's not capable of performing the job anymore. Trusting him even until January 2025 seems like more of a dangerous game of magical thinking. Bruni has written his column to pooh-pooh those of us who are seriously worried about Biden and to take credit for pretending there's no problem worth talking about.
But I don't think Bruni is delusional. I think he's bullshitting in print but in his head he's got it figured out. It's too hard to replace Biden* and it seems less likely to work than just crossing your fingers and — la la la — moving along as if nothing is amiss and you are crazy if you think so.** And you know who's really crazy? Donald Trump.

Food Taster Bruni Dishes Three Asterisk Dog’s Breakfast, Gives People Gas
The crazy thing is there is no one on the left who has the name recognition, the experience, the youth, the monetary backing or the will to replace Joe and go against Trump. Biden stalled for months and wore everyone down, including himself. He’s pathetic, and so is the party he leads. They just can’t deal with reality, having contorted it for their own benefit for nearly two decades.
It’s called lashing yourself to the mast.
it will be pretty easy to replace resident Biden on the ticket.. After he TRAGICALLY DIES
by the 1st night of the convention.. possibly ON tv
If I'm being gaslighted, I prefer Barbara and Fred.
Here’s the thing- they have never given a thought to replacing him. Given the lies they’ve sold and the security of the cook the vote scam replacement was only a thought to those uneasy with their reflection after fellating the cadaver for so long…
"No, you keen-eyed MAGA sleuths, Biden’s aides didn’t schedule an early debate so that they could replace him after he flails.”
Bruni is privy to the inner workings of the DNC elite?
This is why we hate the press—how willing they are to repeat Democratic propaganda without so much as a raised eyebrow and at the same time belittle those people who ask the very questions the press is supposed to ask.
No, you keen-eyed MAGA sleuths, Biden’s aides didn’t schedule an early debate so that they could replace him after he flails.
Without evidence!
We must plan, plod, slog. No sorcery will save us.
No sorcery is required. Well funded and organized vote harvesting operations will take care of things.
When I read "early debate", I thought he meant time of day to avoid sundowner's syndrome. I sure hope for Biden's sake that his Administration quits flying him to massive time zone changes. To be fair and kind, that much jet lag would be tough on anybody at any age.
Food critic say what???
Don't really care what this Progressive has to spew.
The Democrat kind of magical thinking is potentially very dangerous thinking. Even the semi-rational Democrats believe that there must be enough intelligent, competent people around Biden to make critical decisions, if necessary. What they don't seem to comprehend is whether there would be enough time in certain circumstances to make such a decision.
I can think of a wide range of circumstances where there wouldn't be enough time. How would you gather enough of the key people at 3am? Which person(s) would have the authority to make the life and death decision?
It's a pretty dangerous game of magical thinking the Bidenists are playing.
It was easy to gaslight everyone when the establishment controlled the means of communication. There were only three big broadcast networks and PBS for the people who wanted to consider themselves sophisticates. Whatever Cronkite or Rather said was holy writ. A few influential newspapers and magazines, controlled by corporations who set the agenda and the party line. It was all so much easier then. The internet was like a wooden shoe thrown into the gears of the MSM propaganda machine. Which is why the PTB are desperately trying to enforce a censorship regimen on it.
Think about this:
Chuck Schumer said, “Let me tell you: You take on the intelligence community — they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you” to Rachel Maddow on MSNBC. An actual non-partisan reporter would have had some pointed questions for him, such as:
Are you stating that US intelligence agencies interfere with internal US politics?
Do you have any examples of this?
How highly placed are the people doing this?
What measures are being taken to limit such behavior?
When someone is caught doing this, how are they disciplined?
To my knowledge, no MSM reporter has asked Schumer any of those questions. Why bother? Everyone knows the answers.
Because asking those questions would highlight the fact that the US intelligence community is routinely interfering with internal US politics. And an intelligence agency interfering in its country's politics is as predictable as sunrise at dawn. And therefore, you should take any proclamation from the intelligence community with a grain of salt. For instance, like when 51 intelligence officials say that a certain laptop has the "hallmarks" of a Russian disinfo op.

Good commentary by Ann. Meade House is on a roll today.
Biden will not be the nominee.
I assume that some of the people who write this stuff must be at least a little smart. Can they not, for two minutes, quit looking at the man and look around him? Compare the state of war, immigration, the economy in, say, 2019, with 2023. Things were better. I’m not dreaming that. And yet it seems impossible for a pretty big swath of people to quit being laser focused on Trump The Man.
Trump said one thing with respect to the Ukraine war, and I can’t get it out of my head: “I want everybody to stop dying.” No one else seems to be concerned with actual lives. Even that statement was framed as Trump wanting to side with Putin! Insane.
“ And yet it seems impossible for a pretty big swath of people to quit being laser focused on Trump The Man.”
Actually they’re more focused on Strawman Trump. The one that exists only in their fevered minds.
And the press, of course.
Dave
It's too late. They have to go with him. The time to introduce someone new to the electorate was last year. Now they have to with him even if they have to prop up his corpse. The good news is that any cheating will be patently obvious because nobody believe that frail old man is really our president.
People want their cheap gas and food and to not be in fear of a nuclear war. Oh. And secure boarders. Those are not unreasonable things to want.
I don't think it was ever true that Trump picked on a disabled reporter purely for his disability. Unfortunately, he is doing that now to Biden. The obvious high ground, which I think would also be more effective, would be to say whoever is running the White House, they are implementing policies that are a disaster for the country.
I wish there was a path to victory for Bobby K. It would bring joy to the Joe Poli Sci in me if the House were to elect him.
Having said all that, it may be that if Biden does any events at all from now on, he will be carried on stage by Obama, the way one might carry a disabled child.
"I have spoken with the President at some length, and I can paraphrase what he wants to say. Trump is evil. The Devil incarnate. All Democrats are noble by comparison. Even many Republicans agree. Jonah Goldberg wrote a book on liberal
fascism, and he has never described the Biden regime as a liberal fascist one."
"It doesn't really matter how good or bad Joe is. He has the right people in place, and there will be even more good people when the makeup of the Supreme Court changes."
"By the way: we will be accused of raising false hopes. Blacks can cease to be ghetto, and whites can cease to be hicks. In the history of this great--well, above average or barely acceptable--nation, there has never been anything false about hope."
The Dems took it way from Bernie in 2016 and gave the nomination to Hillary. Then in 2020 they again repeated the Bernie take-away and gave it-to Biden. The Dem 2024 take away hasn't found a recipient yet, but it will.
"Kamala" is sort of a magical-sounding word.
I have an image in my head of Hermione--or maybe that crazy witch played by Helena Bonham Carter--waving her wand at Trump and declaiming "Kamala-harris!" Trump ignores her and nothing happens.
What’s the bet Trump bails on the debate?
The Vice-President Who Must Not Be Named.
I don't think I had heard the word Gaslight in the context that we're using it here until 5, maybe 10 years ago but it's a fairly recent word.
It comes from a movie called Gaslight with Ingrid Bergman and Joseph cotton. Not a bad movie but not all that great. One of those unmemorable movies you used to watch on late night when there was nothing else on.
I've seen it I wonder how many other people here have.
So how did this word come into our vocabulary like it has?
John Henry
Question not asked: Why does the DNC and democratic leadership want Biden to be re-elected?
It's clear from even his limited public statements he isn't driving policy or decision making.
Figurehead? Controllable inner circle?
If he wasn't Donald Trump if he was just the guy that ran the hardware store down the street how old would you guess Donald Trump is? He seems to be an old man the age of a Young Man. If I didn't know, at a guess I would put him in his early 60s. On the other hand Brandon is obviously late seventies, early '80s, maybe even older if you just go strictly by appearance and not knowing anything else about him.
I don't think he can be replaced at this point. there's a lot of practical reasons as people have mentioned name recognition forcing them on the voters and so. but in a few more weeks I think the first of August it's going to be too late to get anybody other than Joe Biden on the on the ballot in States like Ohio Alabama and then by September it'll be too late to get anybody else on the ballot in any other state as well so I think we're stuck with Joe.
I just wonder if Joe is the Kamikaze candidate Nobody expects him to win. the Democrats basically see some horrible things coming in the next 4 years figure it's better to have somebody else that they can blame for it
John Henry
Wow. If this were a betting market I’d be backing up the truck…
Biden himself is the McGuffin. It's all about the éminence grise who actually wield the power. Incidentally, the Wikipedia entry for éminence grise gives a number of historical examples of shadowy figures actually running things in the background.
Those of us who believe that Trump’s return to the White House would be ruinous
I wonder why a person in DC would think a new President might be ruinous. Upsetting the applecart that is supplying the trough that the corruptocrats feed at is the likely answer.
Did you ever think about the Devil? I mean "think about" in the philosophical sense? Why does our current Western civilization have one? The pagan Greeks didn't have a devil figure. The various Olympians could function as Good or Evil archetypes depending on the story, which is useful for comic book writing, but confusing for moral philosophers, as the Euthyphro dialogue illustrates. If our reality demands an archetype of unalloyed Goodness, God the Father Almighty, doesn't it also demand the antipode? The Devil -- the Despicable and Indespensible. That's job security, boy howdy. If there's an offical ranking of roles, Prince of Darkness and Author of Lies must be near the top, which brings me to Frank Bruni. Of all roles in the universe as we know it, restaurant critic must rank pretty damned low, not at the absolute bottom, but you can see it from there.
Three words: Fuck these people.
"...Trump’s return to the White House would be ruinous."
Quaestor will be bitterly disappointed if Trump's return is not ruinous. There is much that richly deserves ruination.

I agree with Bruni that replacing Biden with whatever name the speculator desires is extremely unlikely. I disagree that Trump would be ruinous because we already have a track record of Trump, and no ruin occurred.

They will almost certainly attempt to turn Biden into a martyr.
They are going to abuse the fact you are not allowed to speak ill of the dead or of an old man who had a medical emergency.
I do not trust that a Red Wave is coming.
The 'éminence grise' @tcrosse refers to, will not be replaced if there's a Democrat win, however legitimate. I think this possibility merits some thought.
If Joe Biden could have been propped up successfully, after an election that remains hotly contested 4 years later, after an inauguration conducted in virtual secrecy behind high-security fences, after so many public gaffes showing incompetency, if this can be accomplished successfully using all of the figureheads available for support, then it can be done with any Democrat that is recognizable to the public. It would be hard to find someone that is more incompetent than Joe, in his present condition. Therefore: Any change would be a performance improvement.
I think they plan to run Joe until he drops, or retires, and then slot in Kamala behind him, as smoothly as possible. I think their biggest obstacle at present, is Jill. If the 'éminence grise' can keep control, they will shift Kamala, correctly claiming 'but this is the process, this is how our Constitution works ! ', and then pull some policy levers that are the hottest - maybe close the border, say - to cool things politically, and then quickly slot a reliable candidate into the VP office - say, Gavin Newsome.
Tell me what doesn't work about this scenario. It's too complicated, replacing Joe now. They've managed to run the Executive Branch for 4 years, with nothing much more than a living presence.
Rich said...
What’s the bet Trump bails on the debate?
Absolutely zero.
I will be interested to see how far CNN goes to change the rules though to try to get Trump to pull out.
But I am curious about the nature of the medical emergency they have planned for Joe.
Rich: Donald Trump turn down a stage? You seriously put that forward?
I perceive FJB as too old for the job. He isn't senile in the sense that he has forgotten his party or his past. He knows his relationship to the money Hunter made. He knows his enemies and his friends. And he can keep on his feet with enhancement drugs and learn to ask Trump about his convictions as he's learned the party line all through his life. Basically, he's just following orders and raking in cash as he's done all his life. But America around him is undergoing painful changes. Money doesn't go far enough because prices have stayed high; another whole generation in the black community is has lost the chance to get an education; manufacturing has gone to China; there's antisemitism on campuses and attacks on free speech; there's exclusion of conservatives from institutions they support with taxes or as the audience for entertainment; there's rot in the Army; the CDC caused a catastrophe. And FJB isn't handling these situations except with muddled PR attempts. Part of the problem is that FJB is rich and insulated but ultimately he can't break out and deal with it all because of the way he's aged. One of the hard things is that the world changes and some older people can't. Trump can; FJB can't. Trump has engaged with all these issues while FJB's mind just slips into the old way of thinking as if the old realities were all still there. It's not a crime to be too old to be President. The crime is being President while you are too old; the crime is running for a second term while you are harming other people through your incapacity. FJB has angered me by his relentless greed and shameless indifference and that's why I now call the US President FJB. But at the base of it all there's just a man grown too old to know what he's really doing to his country.
Hades wasnt it called brother of zeus
Yes, they were brothers, along with Poseidon. Zeus got the land, Poseidon the sea, and Hades a.k.a. Pluto got the underworld. Hades wasn’t the personification of evil, though, in the way Lucifer is. He’s just the landlord and superintendent of Hell, keeping it warm for new arrivals. The most wicked thing he ever did was abduct Persephone to be his wife and queen of the underworld.
Mikey NTH: "Rich: Donald Trump turn down a stage? You seriously put that forward?"
Oh, LLR-democratical Rich knows he's gaslighting. Its simply part of the continuing New Soviet Democratical approach of taking every biden screwup and failure and ailmaent and then projecting them onto Trump.
Its rather boring naturally and sometimes you can tell Rich's heart just isnt into it.
Indulging such illusions is dangerous. Those of us who believe that Trump’s return to the White House would be ruinous must prosaically and persistently make the case for Biden’s superiority, flaws and all. We must plan, plod, slog. No sorcery will save us."
Writes Frank Bruni, in "The Election of Magical Thinking" (NYT).
Sorry, Prof, but he is in fact correct.
The problem he faces is that no one can honestly "make the case for Biden’s superiority", because Biden is completely inferior, and Harris is worse.
Biden can't be replaced, because
1: Harris is even worse
2: The electoral cost of pushing a black female VP aside for anyone other than another black female is greater than the cost of going with Biden.
Which was "Dr Jill's" bet in 2020, and the reason why she had Joe pick Kamala
gilbar said...

Sure, no problem. You can replace him with Kamala Harris.
Who polls even worse than Joe Biden does
What, you think all the far left wing Democrat delegates are going to pick Josh Shapiro?
I don't think it was ever true that Trump picked on a disabled reporter purely for his disability. Unfortunately, he is doing that now to Biden.
As with the reporter, that's not all Trump is doing.
I don't think Trump is a moral exemplar, and I think it's possible that, although I think he certainly would have included the man's role as a journalist in his mockery, it's not out of the question that he chose a cruel vehicle. But - again - his primary message there was that the guy was not doing journalism well.
Similarly, Trump is certainly bringing attention to (I don't object to using the word "mocking" here - again, Trump is no moral exemplar) Biden's mental and physical feebleness, but the message is that Biden is unfit to be president. That message, that fact, seems self-evident and unassailable to me, but the press corps appears almost united in its efforts to "hide the decline," so Trump has made it part of his campaign strategy.
I absolutely agree with, say, Rich and Chuck (I will now engage in some mind-reading) that it isn't enough to show that you have more energy and more cognitive ability than the frankly pathetic creature who is our current president. Where I differ with them is, first, in their weird contention that Trump is just as addled as Biden - in what world?! - and second, that Trump hasn't also made the case that he is the best alternative to Biden. Hell, he literally demonstrated his superior policy platform, executive ability, and respect for the Constitution for four years, against a constant headwind.
Why does the DNC and democratic leadership want Biden to be re-elected?
The staffers around Biden, from Jill on down, want Biden to be reflected because otherwise they lose their jobs and their access to power (even if another Democrat were to take his place). Hence he insists on running again. Insiders can try to persuade him to step down for the good of the party, but he's not capable of making that decision himself; that's the whole problem.
The committee is just an administrative body; it doesn't have a means to force a candidate out after the primaries. Also, even if he were to step down now, it doesn't have a means to select someone else besides Harris, who is even less appealing. And we know for sure that she won't step down voluntarily.
I think the people lying about what's going on with Biden, and many of those who will vote for him, are completely fine with him being an empty husk. He's president in name only, and that's all good. These folks want Obama and his friends running things, and that's what they're getting. Obama showed them that when he led Joe off the stage the other night: don't worry, y'all, I'm still in charge. All Joe has to do is not die; that makes him a fine president for almost 1/2 the electorate.
It is hard to argue against "magical thinking" when we are in a society where "conspiracy theories" regularly prove to be true, experts know nothing and just spew what their masters want them to say, and the media regularly gets fooled or actively pushes hoaxes.
I recall in 2015 Liberal friends were wishing Hillary would just go away - until she became the nominee. Then they praised her to the skies. The same will happen if Kamala becomes the nominee. Suddenly we will see stories of how brilliant and lovable she is, and that her awfulness is just MAGA misinformation. (Never mind that it didn't work for Hillary, either).
Well, I don't remember any MAGAs claiming that Hunter Biden's conviction was staged to help his shit for brains father's re-election, so Bruni constructed a pretty ridiculous straw man there. As for the debate this month, it was a just a bluff that got called the same day by Trump- they never expected Trump to accept a debate run by CNN. It can help the Democrats if Biden does so badly he has to withdraw before the convention, but I think this entire debate offer was dreamed up by people who actually support Biden, not his detractors in the party.
Crook Joe will be the nominee.
they broke in their husk-puppet - they are keeping him.
We are witnessing the biggest “brainiac” failure of our lifetimes … or at least since “The Best and the Brightest” engineered the Viet Nam war. Lawfare has failed. Media messaging has failed. Punditry has failed. Everything Dems are doing now is failing. They’re even losing — gulp! — Jews. Yep, NY Jews are secretly switching to Trump, led by the dog whistles of Alan Dershowitz.
This is the end of the Saul Alinsky era. Good riddance.

Very much agree. But I think that those staffers aren’t all operating in a vacuum, but rather some, but not all, are Clinton and esp Obama loyalists. For example, I expect that their Israeli/Palestinian position is primarily driven by Susan Rice and the Obamaites. My guess is that the LawFare attacks on their enemies are more likely coming from the two Yale Law grad former First Couple, than the Harvard grads.

Agreed. The problem is very likely Harris. She was the political price FJB paid to get the nomination. She was traded for the backing of the CBC by Rep Clyburn. After that, FJB cruised to the nomination. It would have been a good deal - if she could have spoken coherently in public. She probably wasn’t really vetted first, but, rather the deal was just thrown over the fence as a fait accompli. But being the VP means that her turn is next. Black support for FJB is declining already - imagine what would happen with that if she is pushed out, or a white gun (e.g. Newsome) or gal (e.g. Crooked Hillary) is jumped over her? Keep something in mind - in most of the 5-6 swing states that were stolen by the Dems in 2020 to put FJB in office were done by heavily Black city employees in heavily Black big cities. Without Blacks, their critical election fraud operations probably fall apart.
The time to have pushed Harris out was last year. Now is probably too late. But the dithering by the leaderless WH allowed the opportunity to disappear through their dithering. FJB himself was probably the only one who could have done so, and he is too far gone to have understood its need. They still have their Harris problem, combined with the real expectation that if they are re-elected, she will, indeed have her turn as President, given FJB’s continuing decline. Doping him up and pushing him out on stage takes a toll on people in his situation, very likely accelerating the process.

NO...Dr. Jill, the elder abuser is doing that....to AMERICA. Don't blame Trump for Bidens dementia and his wife forcing him to do a job he isn't ABLE to.
NYT mediaswine and many others who likely have never conversed with a "MAGA" invent this shit so they have something with which to tittilate the lefty morons who patronize their rags. Any speculation about anything by the most obscure right-wing pundit becomes fodder to demean Trump supporters as delusional. Projection abounds with the lefties who are delusional about the world and everything in it.
In another era these hacks might be, might be, apologizing for being part of the cabal that foisted a demented grifter and a cackling nincompoop on us as POTUS and VP. But no. They are committed to doing it again.

According to Virgil, Pluto's realm is Elysium, the blessed home of the souls of the just and valiant. Tartarus is more like Dante's Hell. On the other hand, other ancients pictured Elysium completely outside the underworld -- Islands of the Blest, south of Africa in a warm and tranquil sea.
the Democrats plan on stealing the election - just like they did in 2020. They found massive vote fraud in GA and Arz. Winconsin may be OK, Michagan was so bad in 2020, several people refused to certify in Wayne's County, then got pressured by GOPe, and caved.
What has GOPe and RNC done to make sure we have free, fair, fraud elections in November 2024? Zero. They don't care if Trump is defeated. Controlled opposition baby. Maybe Laura Trump may make a difference. Who knows?
Once again ... if you hadn't stolen it in 2020, you wouldn't be in this situation.
"What’s the bet Trump bails on the debate?"
Don't be a pathetic little slug, Richie. Man up and tell us the amount you would put on the table, and your reason for same.
No dice? I thought so.
How would Trump's return to the WH be ruinous? It's absurd. Ruinous for who? He was President once and he didn't do a bad job at all.
Biden is clearly not the superior candidate in any way shape or form. That's an objective fact. Re-electing him makes no sense at all.
Many Dems and Dem-leaning independents are counting on Biden being replaced. They just can't conceive of him not being re-placed. They don't have a clear idea of who would replace him though. Newsome's name comes up with these folks in a lukewarm tone when they talk about the Biden problem, but clearly the Dem machine and pundits like Bruni aren't enthused by Newsome's chances. If they were, they'd be pushing him. They aren't. That dog isn't barking.
You gotta love a country where the purpose of a presidential debate is to gauge the extent of the candidates’ dementia. And weigh the various felony convictions of Trump
It is difficult to conclude anything about this contest other than that Biden is probably not an appropriate candidate for the US presidency — and that Trump is absolutely not an appropriate candidate for any form of office other than prison librarian.
Let's check the options:
1. Replace Biden? With whom and how?
2. Go with Joe and watch him stumble through the debate and then the convention but never let him out in public again?
3. Incarcerate the convicted felon Trump?
I got it! When faced with the impossibility of 1 and 2, there is always door number 3. Whew! Good thing their NY judge is on the case.
And it has the added advantage that it may force the federal courts to get involved. This may even force the SC to get involved. Game, set, match!
You may thank me on July 11.
Biden might be clever to keep him ranting and let Trump himself remind people of why they don’t want him back.
