There is a “very aggressive panic” throughout the Democrat Party following the first presidential debate Thursday, according to panelists on CNN.
Many commentators agreed that President Joe Biden’s demeanor caused “damage” for his party ahead of the election in November. Questions were again raised about the president’s health early into the night, and some progressives called for Democrats to pick a different candidate before voters head to the polls.
Joy Reid on Biden’s debate performance: People texting with her were “very concerned about President Biden seeming extremely feeble, seeming extremely weak.”
“This was a game changing debate in the sense that right now as we speak, there is a deep, a wide and a very aggressive panic in the Democratic Party,” said John King, chief national correspondent for CNN.
“It started minutes into the debate, and it continues right now,” he continued. “It involves party strategists. It involves elected officials. It involves fundraisers. And they’re having conversations about the president’s performance, which they think was dismal, which they think will hurt other people down the party in the ticket, and they’re having conversations about what they should do about it.”
CNN TRASHES JOE: “Biden answers in alot of cases were not coherent. It was deeply problematic. There was real damage done that can not be undone.”
VAN JONES: “That was painful”
“WIDESPREAD PANIC AMONG DEMOCRATS.”
“THIS RACE IS EFFECTIVELY OVER.”
CNN’s Abby Phillips said that she agreed with King’s takeaways and that the “panic” she was receiving from members in the Democratic Party “is not like anything that I have heard in this campaign so far.”

CHUCK TODD: “That’s [Biden’s] his performance after five days at Camp David!? That’s AFTER rest!?”

I agree with our first African American female proud lesbian press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre. All these silly video clips posted above are “cheap fakes” put out by these racist white Republican maga supremacists. As Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi told the American people: Joe Biden is THEE best candidate in this entire country.
All Americans are being put to an IQ test here. The grade to pass is very very low. Every word and minute of debate and chatter and resources spent lowers your grade. This is more a reflection on Americans than sleepy Joe. He’s passed it. Are we?
Ouch.
CHUCK TODD: “Biden looks like the caricature that conservative media has been painting … you saw it before your eyes!”
What a funny quote!
If you see it before your eyes, then admit that it was NOT a caricature; it was merely a picture of reality that the Dems can no longer deny.
The writing was on the wall for years, but they were in Lala Land until now. They believed that by ignoring and denying reality, they could push a cognitively impaired elderly gentleman through elections. Then suddenly – BOOM! – the caricature cartoon figure sprang into real life! It was a cruel game and a very public shaming for Biden. He should have been taken out to pasture a long time ago.
The question remains – who will they pump up to replace him?
This could be a disaster for Trump. Brandon is the best argument for Trump, and if he isn’t around, Trump loses support from those who can’t stand Biden. If the nominee is Harris or a cabinet member, Trump can still attack the Biden’s administration’s record, but if they go for a younger nominee who wasn’t directly involved that won’t work. What’s worse, for the first time since presidential primaries were introduced in the mid-20th century, the Democrats will have a nominee carefully chosen by professional politicians.
Good morning, they could and should have thought about it long ago.
President Donald Trump definitely won.
Crooked Joe was awful & despicable.
President Donald Trump was stunning & Amazing
Where is the democracy if they remove their elected candidate simply because he did bad in a debate? And will they replace him by electing his replacement or by selecting one? Where is the democracy in the Democratic Party?
Anyone that doesn’t recognize that this debate was collusion between cnn and dnc to get rid of brain damaged Biden before a republican sweep
Is either naive or drank the cool aide
Trump didn’t win Biden showed his incompetence and lost it on own
And thats after a week of rest of preparing. What an embarrassment for our great country that our leader can’t speak even one coherent articulate sentence.
As a voter who can’t stand either of the two candidates, I would like it even less if the parties forced their nominee to step down. A year ago, it was no secret who Biden and Trump both were like. They won their primaries anyhow. It is unacceptable for party leaders to override their voters choice and pick someone else.
@akuperma,
I was thinking exactly the same……
Be careful what you ask for. We could end up with someone much worse than he is – like Michelle Obama. Think she’d agree to give Israel any weapons? Israel might as well get friendly with Putin.
@smerel I agree with you, so let’s vote MOSHIACH TZIDKEINU instead
These two guys performed exactly the way most people expected them to. I’m not sure what the media is so surprised about
You got to be a complete שוטה not to think this is probably a “planned coordinated shock” which they were planning a few weeks now. If not, then they’re all very incompetent.
The race is never over for democrats they have insurance policies and fake ballots and many other things normal ppl don’t have the imagination to even think of. They can have Kamala Harris as the nominee and the race wouldn’t be over.
Jackk Godol hadorah and Reb Eliezer still think Joe is a brilliant man and a tzadik.
How do they explain that they didn’t know this until now…
And most importantly, knowing he’s unfit who is actually running the country?!?
BY,
That’s because they’re just as equally brilliant and at the same level of tzidkus that Brandon is. Don’t forget crazy huju!
