As the saying goes, ‘be careful what you wish for.’ This rings true for the Democrats and their media allies who are currently embroiled in a tense political climate, teetering on the brink of internal war. Joe Biden’s poor debate performance has sparked a heated discussion within the party, with some even calling for his resignation.

On MSNBC’s The Weekend, co-host Michael Steele was quick to defend Biden, vehemently attacking the New York Times and others who suggested Biden should withdraw. He branded them ‘ignorant,’ revealing a surprising turn of events where liberal media is now battling its own in an effort to protect Biden.

Symone Sanders-Townsend, former spokesperson for Kamala Harris, escalated the situation by proposing that the Biden camp should compile a list of all those advocating for his resignation. This alarming suggestion harks back to the notorious ‘enemies list’ kept by Richard Nixon’s administration.

The word ‘panic’ was repeatedly used by Sanders-Townsend and others to describe the Democrats’ reaction to calls for Biden to step down. This panic seems justified considering recent polls indicate a surge in support for President Trump, even in traditionally Democratic states like New Jersey.

The program then featured Democrat Congressman Robert Garcia of California, who expressed unwavering support for Biden. It’s convenient for him to do so, as he’s running in a district that he and Governor Gavin Newsom won with over a 35% margin in the previous election. However, for Democrats in tight races, having a flawed candidate like Biden could lead to catastrophic results in November’s polls.

While Republicans and conservatives might be relishing in this Democratic disarray, they should tread carefully. A weakened Biden might seem like an ideal opponent now, but what happens if he steps down and is replaced by a stronger candidate?

President Trump seems to be aware of this, as he is actively promoting Biden as the Democrats’ strongest contender and dismissing alternatives like Newsom. The Trump campaign views Biden’s struggles as an advantage and hopes that he will continue in the race.

Michael Steele, a regular guest on Morning Joe, a show known for its close ties with Biden, couldn’t hide his disappointment in Biden’s performance. Even Joe Scarborough, one of the show’s hosts, was among the first to suggest that Biden should withdraw.

The coming months will reveal how this internal conflict within the Democratic party unfolds. But it’s evident that the media and Democratic leaders need to seriously contemplate the consequences of keeping a weak candidate like Biden on the ballot. After all, they are stuck with their ‘clown king.’
