Morning Joe featured Mark Leibovich talking about the people talking about whether Joe Biden should run again.

"But the argument that I usually hear from Democrats are, he beat Trump. If the other people run against Trump, Trump would have beat them in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania. So there's -- is there not a stronger argument in the Democratic primary than 'I beat Trump'? What beats that argument?" Scarborough asked.

"What I'm arguing is that he was running as a bridge in 2020. At what point in the 80s does this become a bridge too far?" Leibovich said.

"Democrats have a unique situation. There's a tradition over the last 30 year -- that is, presidential incumbents don't get primaried. It is harmful to the incumbent. But ultimately Democrats with Biden have a unique situation with an incredible disconnect between the gratitude that Democrats have for Biden, the career and how many don't want him to run. This is over 50, some 60%."

Some people have nothing better to do than gossip, and a lot of this no doubt has to do with the whisper campaign against Kamala Harris and whether she becomes president if Biden dies.

This, after six years of the Villagers kissing Trump's copious ass and months of professional "advice" on what dangerous authoritarian DeSantis should do to beat him. These people should be ashamed of themselves.
