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. 
 

And from that same pundit last night:

"I'd vote for Biden's head in a jar of blue liquid."

Did you have a comment on that, or are you posting videos without commentary? No, it's not enough commentary by itself.

America would elect a black man before it would elect a woman.

I'd happily vote for Condi Rice as opposed to the current candidates.

I'm also impressed by Tulsi Gabbard, and Kyrsten Sinema strikes me as brighter than hell.

Anyone who makes race or sex a big deal one way or another is a racist or sexist, as the case may be.  If you're Gloria Steinham, David Duke, Jesse Jackson or whatever it's a living, but all too often people focus on identity politics only when competence is otherwise lacking.

Thomas Sowell is too old, and may have lacked the necessary cunning to be effective in his prime, but I'd vote for a younger female version of him in a heartbeat.

FWIW, this post demonstrates convincingly that racism and sexism sell.

Unfortunately, "uncompromising" and "hard to work with" aren't exactly awesome qualifications for a President (Trump notwithstanding). Kyrsten Sinema does work well with others, but Tulsi Gabbard and Sowell are both too ideological. 

What makes one a good politician isn't necessarily the same thing as what makes one a good adviser.

Tammy Duckworth is smart, popular, has demonstrated guts, and would appeal to veterans as well as women.

I’m being struck by the irony of posters here, me included, arguing that old folks need to go at the first major screw up.

Carol Swain ? She would be a hoot, and go a long way into seeing inside academia.Being robbed of her citations, the ultimate Karma,would include the position of President of Harvard.

FWIW, Absolutely.

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. 

Hi Ken,

In May 1954, Roger Bannister cracked the 4-minute mile; when some people thought it was impossible.  I remember it well as I had a paper route at the time.

In subsequent articles, I read one about human physical peaking.  It said that the male human it at his physical peak at 27-29 yrs of age.  After that, it is all down hill.  The decline is not linear, it is exponential.  

I doubt that Joe Biden will ever celebrate his 85th birthday.  I hope that I am wrong; but, it is what I think.

Hi Joe,

Not at all.  Joe Biden is running for the most powerful job on Earth, he should be held to a higher standard.

If you've been watching him for the last yr or so, it is easy to see the decline.

If he is still on the ticket in Nov, I'll vote for him.  As winsor says, turn over any rock and what you find will be better than Trump.

My vote is not going to make Biden the winner in Nov.

There won’t be a next debate, Trump has nothing to gain.

 That's terrible, the American people need to get a better look at the two in action. The bag of coke found without a owner, would have gone a long way.

But hey, We beat Big Pharma and Medicare. LOL

 Hi Jerry, 

 I can't stand Bidens policies, but I'm actually pleasantly surprised at his rate of decline, my personal experience was horrifically brutal in nature and proggersion .Four years ago, I thought the same as you.

I doubt he's on the same meds as my Step Mom. Perhaps, that's the reasoning for calls, for Biden and Trump to be drug tested.Who knows... Trump may be on STD and  megalomaniac treatment. LOL 

Peace.

Hi folks,

From Bob Woodward:  I sat there and watched it and I could not believe it. I said, not only is this a political hydrogen bomb for him

Bob Woodward brands President Joe Biden's debate performance a ‘political h-bomb’ (thehill.com)

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.  

You think your moderates,gladstonian liberalism I would suppose.

The average American Lost $8,000 in inflation, now I'm sure that's nothing for Biden supporters.But for the Average American it hurts.

Mederates... that's what you call yourself, what a frikin joke. Bill Maher, Russell brand,Rogan say that now.I'm sure you wouldn't listen to a word they have to say.

 PS. If you only surround yourself with those like minded, willful ignorance becomes the norm. A lack of  diversity.  But that's how terrible Ideas, dominate our society.

I Asked you for a genre, i got no reply, so I hope you like this one.

We will soon find out if Biden is a loyal Democrat and patriot, by stepping down or a self serving politician whose ego and perceived self interest outweigh the needs of the country. (He won’t be able to commute Hunters sentence if he is not President)

We're on the same team. What mechanism and timing do you think gets us to a better candidate and who are they?

[richravizza 28]

 An acknowledgement of his Grandchild would be a start.He forgot about that,and the classified documents a ghost writer got a hold of, reviewed.. so let up on the old man.He's well intentioned. LOL

But, like four years ago Jill is leading him around,Some say bordering on elder abuse.

Do you know what Biden and a USMC recruit have in common?
