Pelosi privately told Biden polls show he cannot win and will take down the House; Biden responded with defensiveness
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi privately told President Joe Biden in a recent conversation that polling shows that the president cannot defeat Donald Trump and that Biden could destroy Democrats’ chances of winning the House in November if he continues seeking a second term, according to four sou...
His hubris will keep him in the race and he'll bring everyone down with him
He is making the exact same mistake that RBG just made.
Biden is defensive by nature. He got super defensive when he was told how fucked up the Afghanistan withdrawl went, and again when told people were complaining about the economy.
Makes sense that he got defensive when people complained about the Afghanistan withdrawal when he was just following through with the previous administration's policy decision.
Agreed he didn't have a choice in doing it, the problem was the execution of it.
Then he said stupid shit like:
"The Taliban is not the south—the North Vietnamese army. They're not—they're not remotely comparable in terms of capability. There's going to be no circumstance where you see people being lifted off the roof of a embassy in the—of the United States from Afghanistan. It is not at all comparable,"
And then...
This is a laugh or you’ll cry moment lmao. Bernie I wish you had like half of trump’s personality and told Biden to eat shit in 2020.
For all the vaguely bigoted caricatures of him as the quintessential grumpy old (Jewish) man from Brooklyn, Bernie's biggest problem was always that he's far too nice to people who stab him in the back (and front) and makes up all sorts of heinous things about him.
Classic examples from 2016 is when Hillary said that Bernie didn't have "real grandchildren" and he said nothing, or when he shot himself in the foot politically by telling the truth that "people are sick and tired of hearing about the damn emails" while she gave her most manically gleeful witch cackle.
polls show he cannot win and will take down the House
Oh, but when I say it, I’m a paid shill.
the difference is that CNN gets paid.
wait...
Because polls are bullshit.
If it wad said privately, it wouldn't be here.
And everyone clicked and everyone shared and CNN made more money.
Just another day of manipulation and profit.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi privately told President Joe Biden in a recent conversation that polling shows that the president cannot defeat Donald Trump and that Biden could destroy Democrats’ chances of winning the House in November if he continues seeking a second term, according to four sources briefed on the call.
The president responded by pushing back, telling Pelosi he has seen polls that indicate he can win, one source said.
At one point, Pelosi asked Mike Donilon, Biden’s longtime adviser, to get on the line to talk over the data.
This phone call would mark the second known conversation between the California lawmaker and Biden since the president’s disastrous debate on June 27.
When asked for comment, White House spokesperson Andrew Bates did not respond to the details of CNN’s reporting on the recent Pelosi-Biden call.
A Pelosi spokesperson told CNN that the former House speaker has been in California since Friday and she has not spoken to Biden since.
