For once in her life, far-leftist loon Rachel Maddow offered up an insightful take after President Joe Biden’s press conference Thursday.
Appearing on an MSNBC panel hosted by her fellow loon, Chris Hayes, Maddow wondered how is it that the president is so sure he’s his party’s best chance to defeat former President Donald Trump.
“It makes me worried that the president is being given information about his political standing that may not be based in reality,” she said.
You think!?
Even Nicole Wallace, another rabid leftist, was troubled.
“There is no incumbent president with lower approval ratings who won,” she said, referencing President Biden’s abysmally low approval rating. “There are only three with lower ratings than he has right now, and they all lost. Donald Trump, George H.W. Bush, and Jimmy Carter.”
“Right now, no poll that shows [Biden] winning,” she added.
Listen to their discussion below:
Hayes meanwhile was flummoxed by Biden’s insistence Thursday that he must be reelected to office to “finish the job.”
He said it reminded him of a “World Series star starter in the seventh game of the World Series, who’s got four outs left to get in a close game that’s thrown 120 pitches.”
“And when the manager comes out to the mound, they never want to go,” he added.
Maddow, for her part, acknowledged the “finish the job” argument but stressed, “there are other arguments that are also data-based that other people might have a better shot at it.”
But, she continued, it seems his closest advisers are only showing him information “that may be sunnier than is real.”
“Him acknowledging it’s not only him who could beat Trump is an important sort of message from the reality-based world,” she added.
Yet the only thing Biden has actually acknowledged is his insistence that he must stay in the race because he’s the only one who can beat Trump.
He said as much during his latest rally this Friday in Detroit.

“You probably noticed there is a lot of speculation lately,” he said. “What is Joe Biden going to do? Is he going to stay in the race? Is he going to drop out?’ I am running and we’re going to win. We’re going to stand up for our Constitution and save our democracy!”
He then cited a recent Marist poll — a total outlier — showing him leading former President Donald Trump 50 percent to 48 percent.
“The narrative [is] that my campaign has fallen apart, they say,” he continued. “I’m the nominee of the Democratic Party, the only Democrat or Republican who has beaten Donald Trump, ever. I’m going to beat him again. I know him. Donald Trump is a loser.”
“I’m the nominee of this party because 14 million Democrats like you voted for me in the primaries. You made me the nominee, no one else. Not the press, not the pundits, not the insiders, not donors. You decided! No one else, and I’m not going anywhere!” he concluded.
Dovetailing back to Maddow’s concerns, it appears they have merit.
“Current and former Biden aides are worried that the president is surrounded by a shrinking group of ‘yes’ people who block negative information from getting to him,” Axios reported Friday.
“In the two weeks since Biden’s disastrous debate, those concerns grew as many members of Congress found it difficult to communicate with Biden,” the report continued.
The only advisers the president is reportedly listening to are Mike Donilon, Steve Ricchetti, and Bruce Reed — three loyal sycophants and yes men who’re practically equivalent to Biden family members.
Indeed, Axios notes via its sources that the “White House now is being run by ‘the family and staff who are effectively family,’ a group that also includes the First Lady Jill Biden’s top aide Anthony Bernal and deputy chief of staff Annie Tomasini.”
In other words, there’s nobody on the team who can provide a lens into how the rest of the nation feels about Biden …
