Frenzied Democratic effort to replace Biden comes to a standstill after Trump rally shooting

[SunSeeker]

Numerous Democrats said Saturday the assassination attempt at former President Donald Trump's rally in Pennsylvania would put a halt to any efforts to replace President Joe Biden. At least for now.

Instead of awaiting the possibility of more calls from Congress that he step aside, Biden instead took the stage as president, addressing the nation in a live televised address, in which he condemned violence. Another Biden ally said it would reflect poorly on anyone in the Democratic Party who tried to call for a sitting president to step aside while he was in the midst of handling a crisis. 

“It’s likely the effort to dislodge Biden has ended. He’s not going to voluntarily step aside in this moment,” the second ally said. “Biden demonstrated he’s going to fight.”

1. It's no frenzy..............................

but there is frenzy in the GQP.

2. not that they are any less committed to ousting him,

... they just got quietly pushed out of the spotlight.

It's a case pf the Media and the Collective Consciousness of this country having the attention span of a 2 yr old. The 'New Big Shiny Thing' replaceses the old drab thing

I think behind the scenes they are still plotting against Joe before the Convention, there's gonna be some drama still.

3. A frenzy for ratings and attention

Now they have something else to use for that.

5. Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining as They Say

I figured the shooting would force these Dems to STFU.

over those "replace Biden" types and snapped them awake.

7. Yeah, I thought the Busy Little Vulture heads

would latch on to the bleeding ear on the Sick Fuck who Incites Violence and got an earful of his own..
