“Honestly, I’m still like 50/50 on whether or not Biden will be the nominee,” Tweeted The Daily Wire’s co-founder Jeremy Boreing. His sentiment is not unique. Despite Senator Bernie Sanders dropping out of the race yesterday, many are still skeptical that the Democratic Establishment is going to allow the gaffe-prone lifetime politician to be their standard-bearer in November.
Honestly, I'm still like 50/50 on whether or not Biden will be the nominee.

Conventional wisdom tells us Biden will have a strong majority of delegates by the time the Democratic National Convention rolls around. That means he’ll be the nominee, right? In reality, the nomination process is convoluted enough that anything can happen… at least anything the Democratic National Committee and the unofficial Democratic Establishment wants to happen.
Biden has demonstrated real weakness when it comes to mental acuity. He just isn’t as sharp as he used to be, and to be fair, he wasn’t all that sharp before. It’s showing very clearly in interviews. Even as progressive mainstream media hosts throw him softballs, he has failed to connect in a meaningful manner. The best thing going for him is the coronavirus sucking all of the air out of newsrooms. If the spotlight was directly on him, unavoidable questions would be emerging.
If the DNC convinces him that he shouldn’t move forward with his campaign, they can take drastic measures to open up delegates at the convention once he drops out. A simple majority vote by DNC member delegates is all that would be required to call for an emergency delegate release, and a Biden campaign exit ahead of the convention would certainly prompt that. In that scenario, the race would be wide open and the 3,979 delegates would decide who to nominate.
Of course, this would only be done if the DNC had someone groomed and prepared to take the nomination and run with it into the general election. There are four names that makes sense. Okay, so none of them really make “sense,” but from the DNC’s perspective they just might. Here they are in order of who I believe is most- to least-likely:
- NY Governor Andrew Cuomo: He has been a propped-up “star” through the coronavirus crisis, though his star-power has faded in recent days. Still, a recent “Just the News Daily Poll with Scott Rasmussen” indicates he’s the Democrat who has demonstrated the best leadership during the coronavirus crisis.
- Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: I know what you’re thinking. Why would the DNC replace an old, failed presidential candidate with another old, failed presidential candidate? Unfortunately for them, the Clintons still have plenty of powerful allies among the Democratic Establishment. Whether they’re allies through affection or blackmail is irrelevant. The Clintons still pull strings, and this may be the last one they get to pull unless Chelsea gets ambitious.
- CA Governor Gavin Newsom: The radical progressive on the west coast may not have polled as well as his New York counterpart, but things have been changing recently. Newsom is getting tons of good press as focus shifts from failures in New York to apparent coronavirus hope in the west. The only reason he’s not higher on the list is because his record fails under scrutiny. Have you seen what happened in San Francisco under his reign?
- Former First Lady Michelle Obama: She’s the wildcard. If she ends up being the nominee in a House of Cards-esque switcheroo, it will be because that was the plan from the start. She has unequivocally downplayed all calls for her to run. That would make her swooping in to save the day a heartwarming story to be told for the ages despite the likelihood that if it happens, it was always going to happen.
There’s a major risk in doing this. Bernie Bros are already vowing to sit our the general election or even vote for President Trump. If Biden drops out, they will demand that Sanders be his replacement nominee. When that doesn’t happen—and it won’t—the Socialist Revolution will begin. They will disavow the party that only wanted them for their general election votes. We should even expect violence around the convention if Sanders is robbed for a third time in four years.
Republicans would be wise to keep their anti-Biden powder dry until his nomination is official. Burning him down now will only encourage the DNC to replace him. As fun as it would be to go after Hillary Clinton for another culminating session, Biden is the candidate we want to take on President Trump. He’s a known entity even if he doesn’t always known where he is at any given moment, and that’s the point.
Last month, President Trump noted Cuomo would be a better candidate than Biden. Clinton has her challenges, but she’s much less prone to gaffes. Newsom would have the media on his side to protect him from his terrible record. As for Obama, she may be the biggest challenge of them all to President Trump, though we’ve never seen her as a candidate.
Standard operating procedure dictates we’re supposed to go after the nominee the moment he’s determined. But Joe Biden hasn’t won the nomination yet. The fat lady hasn’t sung and Biden wouldn’t recognize the song if he heard it.

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
