Joe Biden Presidency thread *Please read OP - Threadbanned Users Added 4/5/21*

Shouldn't all Presidents be judged on their ability to do the job, not their appearance when doing so? (Think FDR and attempting to hide his illness during his term)

I'm massively on the opposite side as Biden when it comes to the conflict in Gaza he's never again feted in Ireland as a consequence of this. But he has been unquestionably an excellent President FOR the US.

We've now almost a complete 4 year term for both Biden and Trump to compare with and there's no comparison as to the suitability for office between them both. Zero.

And that's leaving aside the criminal acts, charges, trials, and convictions that Trump has to his name. Not to mention that while Biden is clearly old and showing it, show too is Trump. Neither of them should be in the race, but as both of them are, there's only one clear winner.

Campaigning is hard work and tiring, Biden will not be as cogent or capable as last night in the later debates after gruelling months on the road.

Last night was awful and it was wrong to put him up there, though as I said earlier on the page. Unless it was to flush him out because he would not quit.

Problem is, given his mental faculties, he will not realize that or understand.

If he is pulled in the convention how will they stop him from walking on stage as Gavin Newsom is picked and Joe calling him his new VP.

An entirely predictable mess.

I'd say the cabinet is busy now considering invoking the 25th.

Which they may well have to but having to sink your nominee because of mental incapacity and backing him last week is going to be a unique mess as well.

It was obvious years ago the pace of his decline. The Democrats made the awful mistake of believing their own BS and kept sticking with Biden because Project 2025, Chemtrails, etc.

Yes, Presidential nominees should be judged on their ability to do the job, but let's be honest here, the Yanks are pretty thick when it comes to politics and TV appearances have been guiding people's choices since Kennedy.

When it comes to these two, neither candidate would be anywhere near my own particular political views and the Israeli albatross around Biden's neck has done a lot to damage him over the last 9 months. But in a two horse race, you have to opt for one of them and Biden, despite his numerous shortcomings, is still the most sensible choice over Trump…

…for what should be obvious reasons to anyone who's been paying attention to US politics for the past 8 years.

Biden should be hammering Trump, he has so much material to sling at him, but obviously he has reached the point in his life where he needs to hang up his boots and retire. He is not up to it. Embarrassingly so.

If Biden remains in the race, Trump will get in by default.

Exactly. Biden has been struggling for a few years now. His mental faculties are not where they should be. He's making it easy for the other lunatic.

They are frequently wrong.

This came up 8 years ago, 4 years ago and a few weeks ago.

Biden may or may not win but this annoying argument keeps coming up no matter how often they are wrong. It isn't sport, serious betters don't use bookies for elections they use stocks. Bookies have been wrong again and again about elections because they are not trying to be right and yet somehow people maintain a level of faith in the bookies to put the most religious to shame.

The damage will be accessed over the coming week or so.

If the polls dip for democrats running down ballot the mood music will change.

If he was not running again. The question would be who is currently in charge as he is obviously not capable now of living unassisted. Nevermind the most powerful job on earth.

I think he came across as old and weak.

Trump will beat him unfortunately now.

Well it could, if there's another Democrat out there with better chance of winning the Presidential election.

If Harris becomes President now, effectively she'd by default also be the candidate for the election.

I can't see a situation where Harris is President and then isn't the candidate.

I might stay up for the next one.
