The quote:

“Given Joe Biden’s incredible record, given Donald Trump’s terrible record: he should be mopping the floor with Donald Trump. Joe Biden is running against a criminal. It should not be even close. And there is only one reason it is close. And that is the president’s age.”

    Biden isn’t expected to help challengers. If they can’t get enough signatures or polling support to meet debate / ballot access requirements, then they certainly can’t beat Trump.

    And if potential candidates couldn’t stand up to other Dems in private, how are they expected to stand up to Trump in public?

    Primaries aren’t beauty pageants. It’s survival of the fittest. Candidates have to work to win over other Democrats and build a strong support network for the general. Nothing will be handed to them, because the general will be ten times harder.

      What are you on about?

      Biden is expected to show up and make his case, which he appears unable to do. His administration also actively worked to subvert the primary process, a wholly undemocratic maneuver.

      And now here we have Blue MAGA - blaming the primary contenders who were brave enough to run, blaming the voters, blaming anything and everyone possible except the one man whose ego will cost us the election in November unless he steps down now.
