As douche in French just means shower, I'll go for that one.

My recollection is that the GoP was set against Trump until it became obvious he would win.  Fox News was clearly against him, until ...

The political parties are large disparate things not always easily managed.  The donor class is not always manageable either.  I think Clyburn decided on Biden after he lost the first two "elections" and gave him South Carolina, and everyone pretty much fell into line after that in 2020.

Van Jones: Democrats are discussing “how” to replace President Biden (thehill.com)

Behind the scenes, it’s full-scale panic,” Jones said. “People are passing around legal memos, PDFs are flying back and forth on WhatsApp, trying to figure out, what are the options? How can you replace Biden? How do you get him to do it in a way where he feels respected, as he should be respected?”
Jones suggested Democrats were proceeding under the assumption that Vice President Kamala Harris would be next in line for the top spot. Among the questions Democrats are trying to answer, Jones said, is, “Who should Kamala Harris’s 
Kamala Harris’s vice president be?”
Jones praised Biden as “a great candidate” but said Democrats must be responsible in determining what the best path forward is.

Biden tries but fails to turn back rising tide threatening to swamp his reelection bid | CNN Politics

I thought there was a small chance this would start to die down, something else would take over the headlines, thus far that has not happened.  I still think by end of July Biden will drop out of the race.  I don't think he'll resign the office, though that would be a good step politically I think.

Trump has done a good job being quiet, which is remarkable for him.  Is he starting to listen to advice?  I doubt it.

IF somehow there is a second debate, Trump could walk away with this thing if he continues to stay quiet and start to govern a lot of the burfle he says, just sound fairly reasonable.  I don't know if he could do that.

White House now says Biden was seen by his doctor days after debate | CNN Politics

This thing appears, to me, to be collapsing in slow motion, drip by drip, day by day.

They should rip he bandaid off, but are trying to slowly peel it off hoping something somehow changes. 

They have a one on one with a sympathetic "reporter" on Friday.  I don't think that can possibly be enough even if Joe looks hale and hearty.

There is no grand plan to replace Biden (thehill.com)

No, I agree there is not, but either he is replaced or they lose, and they don't want to lose.  They may lose anyway.

I just can't see any way Joe can recover now.  The knives are out all over.

The D Governors are all-in with Joe.

Apparently, 25+ D Reps are going to sign a letter asking him to step down.

They must be in swing districts.

I'd think Republicans would prefer Biden stays in the race politically, even down ballot Reps.

Biden has a very clear target on his back, just about any other issue is now secondary except the economy.

probably why we haven't heard much from them regarding Joe

Yup.  I have a few Democrats (ardent) posting on Facebook pretty often, political stuff.  Of late, it's been about "Project 2025" and how that would be the end of us.  None of them have posted a thing about Joe's mental state, which to me is curious.  Trump has uncharacteristically laid low, for him, which tactically is a great move.  

Fear sells, and we're going to have an abundance of fear mongering this cycle, more than usual I suspect.  I don't know that either side has much of an affirmative realistic message, or so it seems to me.

"mostly peaceful riots" ...

Most folks see such comments and think "WHAT?".  The ones who don't are past any redemption.

I thought they would go to Newsom, but now it appears, if any of this reportage is remotely true, they will try Harris, who I personally think is unlikeable as a candidate, which is a bad place for any politician.
