DNC convention is 19-22 August. Wonder what the vibe will be if Biden doesn't step down.
There's a reason Kamala has been basically invisible her entire VP stint. Nobody likes her and she's unelectable.
Debates rarely swing the pendulum much.
Republicans can just run clips of Biden from it in all their ads until the election. And I'm sure they will.
Always has.How the hell can get Trump away with all the lies?
He should have been hit by an electric taser at every lie he spouted.
Unfortunately, Biden isn't fit enough for another 4 years. I dread the upcoming 4 years with an complete idiot in charge of America.
Dems can and do just run the endless clips of Trump rambling or saying something insane, though.
This one will.
Yeah, I agree. The narrative is disastrous for Biden. If his State of the Union speech a couple of months back gave the people the impression that there is still some energy left in him, this debate completely swung it in the other direction. Theoretically Biden has a couple of opportunities to alter the narrative again. There is the nomination acceptance speech at the convention, and possibly more debates. But why would anyone expect him to suddenly be full of pep for those? I fear what we saw yesterday is now his default setting. It's such an easy narrative to run with for the opposition.
If Biden stays on the ticket, he should simply not debate any more, and hope a debate from June fades from the memory of most people.

Both parties need to be swapped. I’m not voting for either. It’s mental these two are the choices to lead the country for the next 4 years. As expected, the debate was a shitshow. CNN tried putting Trump in shackles to keep it civil but Trump is Trump. Trump is right, the rest of the world looks at the USA like we’re a bunch of stupid people. I wonder why.As a non-American, it does seem really late to consider switching from Biden to another candidate now.
Is there any precedent in US politics for the major parties changing candidates so late into the campaign and succeeding?
I think the main thing too take from the debate
Is that, this debate was probably the worst political debate in US History
"In a democracy, people get the leaders they deserve".Still mindboggling that of the hundreds of millions in USA this is the two they get to choose from.
I too don’t see how it can work. If it was going to happen, it should have happened a year ago, with him announcing he wouldn’t run again.As a non-American, it does seem really late to consider switching from Biden to another candidate now.

Debates are never this early, are they?
Maybe team Biden wanted to get it out of the way early, and hope it fades from memory of most people.
There's not a chance in hell they replace him. It's 1.57 in the bookies that he's the nominee, sadly max bet is 1700 but you'd still make 800 odd.
The DNC changing the rules to bring in Newsom would be politically disastrous and would look even worse than just plodding on with Joe. Even if they got him in, and somehow survived the damage of all of that, he probably wouldn't even be a popular candidate in swing states, hasn't had a campaign, etc. He'd probably do worse than Biden if anything. Kamala is a non starter. I bet he will be the nominee, I've already got my money on it anyway!Absolutely not worth it. No way he stands.
Jill Biden is the person that has to share a lot of blame on this. There was a window around 9 months ago where he should been forced to drop out and they could have eased Harris into the role.
Could only make it through to 12 seconds. Embarrassing.
Bingo. It’s always a bullshit answer for everything.So what happens when prices don't come down during a Trump 2nd term? Bloody Soros at it again
