Some network insiders are saying the odds of a Sept debate is slim to none atm. They will whisk him away from the spotlight and hope Trump implodes on his own since it kinda worked in 2020, except, of course, the current landscape and scrutiny are completely different.Biden is like watching an animal freshly hit by a car, crawl off to it's death, but funny. Bring on the next debate, this is sport for me.
Biden's polling was consistently good in 2020, especially after May and Trump's covid handling becoming a scandal. And he did ok in the debates too.Some network insiders are saying the odds of a Sept debate is slim to none atm.

Yes, there was also lockdown as an excuse for limited public event, he wasn’t the president so there was no obligations for appearances/briefings, no Gaza etc…Biden's polling was consistently good in 2020, especially after May and Trump's covid handling becoming a scandal. And he did ok in the debates too.
Simply can't coast this time.
I don't disagree with this but my point is that some try to defend what Biden has become by saying well look at how Trump has deteriorated!I don't look at it as gotcha at all. Yes they are both old. Yes a lot of politicians are old and need to retire and go sit down somewhere. But the hyperbole around Biden's aging like he is propped up and a barely conscious corpse to prop up trump is ridiculous.
The idea that I as a voter should be more scared of Biden's cognitive ability currently. Than what trump actually says and does, and the people that he surrounds himself with and their plans that they clearly have outlined is what is scary. Not an old man career politician getting a bit older than when he last ran. Even if Biden did need help down stairs cause of old age or whatever else "age". At least he isn't threatening vengeance on prosecutors and election workers, and every alphabet agency that dared try to do their jobs and investigate frauds and criminals that included trump and his closest allies.
I don't care if Biden had to have a wheelchair and a nurse push him around for 4 years. There is no way I would want trump and his evangelical freaks to possibly get even more Supreme Court justices and lock down the courts for the rest of my lifetime.
Which...just makes no sense to me.Tweet

Sure, if you have a strong ideology then there is no reason to do anything but vote Biden. The issue is more with the people who are fuzzier on their ideology, do care about Biden's age (and general perception of competence), and have been saying so loudly and clearly for years now.I don't care if Biden had to have a wheelchair and a nurse push him around for 4 years.

They will probably use Newsom as a shadow candidate and have him launch attacks against Trump and try to shift the narrative. I reckon we see a lot more of Newsom, regardless of what Biden decides to do.Some network insiders are saying the odds of a Sept debate is slim to none atm.

Both candidates older than bill clintonWhat a state that presidential election is
Trump a truly awful despicable human being
And Biden quite clearly not fit for purpose
where are the younger promising politicians in American Politics?? Why is it just these 2 numpties?
Easy choice would be Whitmer, hence why she won't be picked, even if Biden somehow drops out.Both candidates older than bill clinton
If bernie would not be as old...
Leets go crazy and all in with AOC, she will be 35 by november
buttigieg and andrew yang would have a better chance than bidenEasy choice would be Whitmer, hence why she won't be picked, even if Biden somehow drops out.
Does polling support this claim?buttigieg and andrew yang would have a better chance than biden
Not going to happen, but I'd love to see Newsom or Whitmer step in. Buttigieg would be good as well.Tweet

It's not always about age, Bernie might be nearly as old but he's much much more active and doesn't look senile like Biden. But it's obvious the establishment would never approve of Bernie to be the candidate.Both candidates older than bill clinton

is my opinion. Can I have one?Does polling support this claim?
Oh, Give me Bernie any day. right now. But being realistic, he would lose unfortunately...or who knows. But asking a 82 years guy to be elected and criticizing biden with the same age...a bit of an hypocrite on my site.

Bernie would lose the election though, might have had a chance in 16, not anymore.It's not always about age, Bernie might be nearly as old but he's much much more active and doesn't look senile like Biden. But it's obvious the establishment would never approve of Bernie to be the candidate.

If not Bernie, is there any Democrat who would have a chance v Trump? Bernie could pull some of the pro-Palestine voters as well since he would have a better standing with them.Bernie would lose the election though, might have had a chance in 16, not anymore.
Of course you can.is my opinion. Can I have one?
his presidency would be from 83 to 87. As much propalestinian, AIPAC would rally whoever against him. democrats right winged (lots) might sit up. But to be honest, many normal democrats well publicized would have a decent chance against trumpIf not Bernie, is there any Democrat who would have a chance v Trump? Bernie could pull some of the pro-Palestine voters as well since he would have a better standing with them.
This aged badly. Remember 24 hours ago when I was derided on here as some "Far Right" lunatic for suggesting that Biden was not fit to lead a Country.With all due respect, this is just nonsense. You have bee duped by Republican/Far Right talking points. There is absolutely nothing coherent and energetic about Trump - and although Biden is old as feck and stiff, he most certainly is not "unwell".
