Jerry Baumchen The biggest concern about Biden has persistently been his age. I’m listening to the post spin talks about how you elect an administration not a person and tacitly acknowledging that Biden appears to be, or is weak. Just because he’s a nice guy, doesn’t mean he deserves the job. He deserves respect and acknowledgement for all the good things he’s done. But a great leader knows when it’s time to hand over the leadership. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is: 'Time to Go Joe': Liberal Columnists Turn On Biden After Debate Disaster (msn.com) His base is leaving him. I just watched tonite's Washington Week; most informative. The belt-way reporter's phones are blowing up with input from Democrats who know what last nite means. They are in panic. There is no way to sugar coat it. I do not believe it is possible for him to overcome last nite. I truly wish he could.

One question for everyone on here: Can Biden win over Trump in Nov? Something I enjoy about the US is the ability to poke fun at politicians. Some of the talk show hosts analysis of the debate has been hilarious. ”I’m not saying Biden shit the bed last night, but his new code name from the secret service is Amber Heard.’ Has got to be one of the funniest I’ve heard. I said it ages ago, I believe Trump is going to win against Biden. I feel sorry for my American friends who will have to live through that nightmare though.

As per SOP, you're coming here and telling a group largely made up of moderates what moderates believe, based on what you've been spoon-fed by your right-wind media diet. Does it take a lot of effort to remain so willfully ignorant that you post this in a thread where several people, including me, have detailed their support for Biden? There's zero doubt that he's increasingly looking like a horrible campaigner right now, but that doesn't negate what he has, and could continue to do as President. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He can relish the warm and fuzzy feeling knowing that what's his is his and what they don't have, well too bad. If they only worked harder, had less children and got better inheritances.

Joe Biden stumbled like an old man and did not appear to be at his best. Republicans - "Joe Biden has dementia and is not up to the job" Democrats - "Joe Biden has dementia and is not up to the job" The Republican campaign machine has successfully demonized the opposition and has EVERYONE talking about that, instead of the convicted felon piece of shit they have running. Trump is campaigning on a victory, and the democrats act like they have nothing left to campaign on. GOP did exactly the same in 2016 with Hillary, despite the fact that Hillary was 100% right about everything and Trump and the GOP never so much as started an investigation into her after they won.

Unfortunately what they are saying appears true. The only reasons to vote for Biden at this time all have nothing to do with him being effective as a leader. And there is no reason to believe his decline will not continue and good reason to believe it will accelerate. And he is likely to drive so many voters away that the party of darkness will do far better than it should. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
