Here is what I believe and it ain't pretty... [View all]

[Self Esteem]

Let me start by saying I absolutely believe every single Democrat who has come out against Biden running for reelection these last few days wants Donald Trump to lose.

I don't think that's really up for debate.

But it's telling that the Democrats who have come out against Biden are generally congressional Democrats.

I find that key because congressional Democrats, whether people want to believe it or not, oftentimes raise their money through the national party and big donors. It's just the reality. Especially in a presidential election. Most congressional candidates running across this country are not going to get a bulk of their money for their campaign from small doners like a presidential candidate might. They often don't run national campaigns and their districts are not populated enough to support the financing of those campaigns.

The truth is that we know big donors are threatening House and Senate Democrats with funding. This isn't some conspiracy. It's fact.

One example is Tom Strickler, who founded the talent agency WME. He is on record saying to Senator Martin Heinrich, who today announced Biden should not run for reelection, that if he did not come out demanding Biden step aside, he would not get a dime from him.

Surprise! Heinrich announces he's not supporting Biden.

I know we want to believe this is entirely driven by the need to win. The facts don't seem to support that. Yes, Nancy Pelosi is a dedicated public servant and someone who deserves our trust. But she's also a politician and she knows the game. She knows if these Democrats continue to support Biden publicly, regardless if she agrees with it or not, the big party donors are going to close their wallets to the party and many of these candidates in swing districts.

At the end of the day, while Pelosi absolutely wants Trump to lose in November, I think she wants Democrats to take back the House more. And as much as Schumer wants Trump to lose in November, he absolutely wants to keep his majority more.

And that's why there's no plan outside forcing Biden out. There doesn't need to be a plan with these donors. They've said, point blank, as Strickler said to Senator Heinrich, "if you back Biden, you will lose our support. Over and out."

Over and out, folks. The donors have spoken.

And that's why it's almost entirely congressional Democrats throwing Biden under the bus - because money talks.

There's no Plan B if Biden drops out because the only plan from these rich donors is to push Biden out. That's all they care about at this point.

These members of congress are moving because they fear the wrath of the donor class more than they fear the wrath of party voters.
