Never and Ever or two words, I'd never ever use in politics.Or any cycle. Michelle Obama will never run for president. Ever.

I'm far from an expert on what may or may not move a poll, but the guy can barely string a sentence together. He looks befuddled and like a man who was found wandering alongside the dual carriageway in his dressing gown having gone missing from the nursing home.Not particularly. 4 years of even an sick Biden is still preferred to Trump, so pretty much all Dems would vote for him even if they rolled him out on a stretcher.
I just don't see this debate making any significant impact to the polls.
Maybe, but the problem was always the swing voters, who are even more unlikely to vote for Biden after watching this.Not particularly. 4 years of even an sick Biden is still preferred to Trump, so pretty much all Dems would vote for him even if they rolled him out on a stretcher.

She’s been quite clear that she absolutely hates politics. I’d love it, but it ain’t happening.Never and Ever or two words, I'd never ever use in politics.
Starmer tops the group but will likely crumble early in the knock out rounds
There is. It’s in the Constitution. They would swear in Kamala Harris as presidentThere has to be a plan in place if Biden drops dead tomorrow. I refuse to believe that isn't formally written up somewhere. It's time to bring that plan out.
Not even a week ago there was talk of how the Trump campaign's "old doddering Biden" shtick would be torpedoed once Biden came out and gave a good, lucid debate performance. So much for that.It's wild seeing the reaction from the likes of CNN, MSNBC and left-wing podcasts like Pod Save America (who I would imagine would know Biden quite well as Obama's old staffers).
They're really turning the screw on Biden, I think they've made the decision to capitalize on the early timing of this debate to go all out on mounting pressure on him to step down. I think its the right thing to do but its just a testament to just how bad Biden performed.
And they're not just laying down a base level of criticism they feel they need to give in order to keep their credibility, they're taking it further. An example that springs to mind is one of the guys on Pod Save America quite furiously dismissing the idea that Biden grew into the debate, that that did not happen and no one can tell him he saw anything differently. There's some very real anger I think at Biden's insistence on seeing this through.
I'm sure if you looked back at some of these media outlets and individuals, particularly say MSNBC, you'd see them arrogantly and vehemently denying any suggestion that Biden was experiencing cognitive decline. They seem to have bypassed the feeling of utter embarrassment they should be feeling and gone right to placing that embarrassment at Biden's feet.
I honestly didn't think he was any worse last night than he was four years ago. Sure he started a bit slow, but his mind is still there. Trump on the other hand is just starting to trip on his own words every now and then. Another year or two and he'll start his own decline.God damn the Democrats are actually going to fumble this election and let Trump win! The way I see it Trump can only win if Biden dies or noticeably regresses even closer to a vegetative state. The latter happened last night. That kind of showing will put serious doubts in the minds of the moderates who will be the ones who decide this election.
As a binary choice you've got the walking coma option or the slightly spritelier but insane, convicted criminal, wannabe dictator option.
The US is sleep walking into become a fascist state. Worrying times![]()

What the hell. This is apparently moments after the debate. Sounded far better than he did for any single question during it. Did they mix up the order of the meds or something?

Sorry, I meant with regards to November. As in, the non-Biden v Trump plan. It has to exist.There is. It’s in the Constitution. They would swear in Kamala Harris as president
The question isn’t about whether he can finish his current term, it’s whether he can beat Trump in November and survive a 2nd term up to age 86. Last night answered that question for nearly everyone still on the fence.Something that also complicates the situation, is the fact that even if Biden steps down as a candidate, how does he avoid the implication that he isn't currently fit for office?
It would be another thing entirely if he had decided to be a one term president and annoint a successor, at that point his limitations wouldn't be so obvious. However, at this point the president would be dropping out because he isn't currently capable of making a strong argument that he is fit for office - a job he currently has - that opens a bit of a Pandoras box.
They’re going to try and slide in Michelle or GavinNot even the slightest chance of that happening.
Its 2024 and people are still obsessed about Michelle Obama.They’re going to try and slide in Michelle or Gavin
And Americans like their presidents with energy.It is. Trump rambles are way worse. But trump is an energetic rambler and Biden is a half dead rambler
Tbh, Trump's "low energy" jabs at Jeb Bush were funny.And Americans like their presidents with energy.
Yes, thank you!Its 2024 and people are still obsessed about Michelle Obama.
She has said again, again again she isn't interested, lay it to rest already.
If he drops out, Newsom, Whitmer, Pete, and Harris will probably be in the mix.Yes, thank you!
Michelle Obama isn't going to happen. Period.
I agree, but I don't think it would be pretty if he stepped down now. I think he should, but I don't think it is without risks.The question isn’t about whether he can finish his current term, it’s whether he can beat Trump in November and survive a 2nd term up to age 86. Last night answered that question for nearly everyone still on the fence.
He could just tell him the president retired gracefully (at 81) and tell him he should probably consider doing the same. Then point out that he can't because he needs to be president to avoid going to prison.I can imagine it, dems replaces Biden with Newsom, next debate comes up and Trump goes something like "I beat Biden so badly that the Dems had to rush in and replace him with sleazy Gavin, you should thank me btw, i made you their nominee".
Not much you can respond to that.
It doesn't fecking matter actually - Dems will lose no matter who they put up. This has been obvious for months.Its 2024 and people are still obsessed about Michelle Obama.
She has said again, again again she isn't interested, lay it to rest already.
If he drops out, someone needs to be anointed. It is too late I the process for the dems not to be unified over a candidate. A power struggle between Harris and Newsom would be terrible.If he drops out, Newsom, Whitmer, Pete, and Harris will probably be in the mix.
It's my first time ever seeing her speak. I immediately feel extremely confident in saying that she is utterly insufferableTweet
