What chance the democrats break glass and bring in Hillary Clinton?
What 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?
What actually needs to happen for Biden to be replaced by a new candidate? Does he have to make the call himself? Can someone else force it that way?

The Dems just assumed Kamala Harris would wow the World in the last four years and so that would be a relatively straightforward transition with Biden. Been the complete opposite and she's been an invisible VP.
That said I can't understand the strategy at all of just thinking Biden can cope with another four and a half years if re-elected from this point. He should've always used been seen as a one term "caretaker."
To use a Football example it's exactly like Palace getting Hodgson in to keep them up and then not looking for any alternatives and within a few months of the next season people can see he shouldn't have been re-appointed.
Trump will be elected comfortably in reality.
I dont think that they would move that much to be honestSo now what? Wait for polls to see if the debate hurt Biden?

Feigning a debilitating long term illness to try to protect his image as being fit and capable would be an interesting strategy.The meds didnt work that time then. It's incredible that even with all the debate drills they would have done leading up to this, no one in Biden's camp had the sense to feign illness and try and indefinitely postpone it.
So he wont step down because he's too stubborn, even if he did he the optics of not endorsing his own VP would be terrible, and probably end up in a party civil war.
The narrative wont change that much. just reinforced the idea of senile JoeAgreed, they shouldn't move a lot. What will move, though, is the narrative - and it remains to see if that will move votes or not on the day...

Perhaps, but I get the sense that the tone in the media is changing now? Earlier you could brush it off, but that seems a bit more difficult now. Thank feck we're still four months out.

With any luck Genocide Joe drops dead before November. Both of them would be ideal.
What is the better outcome for the American people? And of course the rest of the world?
Biden and his age related issues
or the maniac that is Trump?
I can’t say anything positive about Trump, so I can’t help but lean towards a deteriorating Biden with hopefully a capable team around him over that Loon that is Trump
How old are you?
You were so close to not sounding old
Old man yells at old cloud
Oh my, it's decline city over here with the olds.
That's just an old man having a good time, nothing hypernormalisation about it.
The silver lining is that now progressives can agree that this sort of thing is pretty cringey.

Sometimes you're like really old, bro.
That's not a kid

Best way to put it.It's of course Biden for anyone remotely capable of separating fact from fiction. Hop fully voters realise this election is far more about Democrats vs Republicans, less about the individuals in charge and that having someone who stumbles there words a lot as president doesn't actually hurt them in any way.
This one will.Debates rarely swing the pendulum much.
They should've switched to someone like Newsom from the moment it was clear that Biden wasn't all there.Kamala was a bad choice for VP. It should have been the person the Dems wanted to run this election. Spent the past 4 years putting them front and centre and looking like a President in waiting. Even if Joe still made the same decision to run, if he needed to be replaced, it's an easy swap out.
Too late to do that now. Short of some charismatic firebrand coming out of nowhere that can form a movement in the next 4 months.
I don't mean to come off harshly, but anyone should be able to see that a Dem POTUS is always better than a Republican - especially after the extreme radicalization of the GOP. It's not even a dilemma, for anyone who is not part of the Far Right.
Biden's old as feck and should ideally stand down, but at least he's got competent and qualified people around him. If Trump gets back in you can be certain that he's going to bring more extreme and less qualified people than he did in his first term. Just look at the some of Trump's former staff, who although politically not aligned with most of us, were competent people that have been heavily critical and been warning against another Trump term.
Kamala Harris has zero chance and will fade into obscurity forever when this farce is over.it's west wing level fantasy but i sincerely believes if
1. biden resigns
2. kamala takes over and quickly does something about either ukraine or gaza
then kamala has a very very good shot.
trump is so one-dimensional and dumb. school kids, random people, anyone could take him apart, anyone except that zombie.
And the SCOTUS will likely see Roberts and/or Thomas step down during a GOP presidency which renders the court further radical and with zero progressive rulings going forward.
There's a reason Kamala has been basically invisible her entire VP stint. Nobody likes her and she's unelectable.it's west wing level fantasy but i sincerely believes if
1. biden resigns
2. kamala takes over and quickly does something about either ukraine or gaza
then kamala has a very very good shot.
