    While I think Biden has done a pretty good job, and I don’t see evidence that he still isn’t capable of doing the job, I have great reservations about him running again. It is just too old and it seems like the decline will be too great. Having Harris as a Vp makes it worse.

    I’d much prefer other Democrats run. However I’d still vote for Biden over Trump or DeSantis.

    The best case is a third party candidate to run and win, breaking the Trump/Biden senior citizen discount.

    The Dems aren't going to upset the apple cart, because they are scared to death of Trump.

    The Pubs are a mess, with Trump still in the race, looming legal problems and Desantis losing steam.

    Right now I'd vote for Zuckerberg or Bezos over what's in the field right now, and that's pretty sad.

    Same unless a third party convinces me to get off the couch.

    No different than 1964. But giving her 4 years to prove herself is probably the best strategy for her and the Dems. So after Biden is inaugurated in January 2025, we'll start hearing more about his "health problems" and then after a couple of months, his physician will "strongly recommend that he step down from office." I think Biden will go along with it.

    Well I suppose 1964 would make “unprecedented” technically inaccurate. However, that is (would be) 64 years, ironically.

    That was the same year things like literacy tests had to be formally outlawed. Things are a little different today.

    Lol... brutally naive is no way for any voter to live their lives. You know all of the great accomplishments Biden has ... oops. He's giving us war and high inflation with zero hope for a decent future. More FAIL TO COME.

    When we are at war with China, that is our Commander in Chief. Good luck!

    I suppose I could be naive. The insidious nature of naïveté is the impossibility of recognizing it.

    But I doubt it. Joe has been just fine.

    More than anything, he hasn’t told the world’s despots where the spare key is hidden.

    Maybe because he also doesn’t remember, but that is happy coincidence.

    Why don’t you watch a full speech if you’re so worried vs clips?

    From this weekend.

    Ronald Reagan was in cognitive decline. And until Trump, every Republican presidential candidate invoked Reagan. Meanwhile, Biden is both the mastermind of the Biden crime family and also senile at the same time. Please make up your minds

    Unedited videos take too long to watch. Better to watch carefully edited videos by those trying to shape or reinforce your opinion. Saves a lot of time

    He’d resign or an invocation of the 25th amendment. We’ll have our first female president.

    More importantly, a loss for the Pubs would leave Alito 78 (73+5) and Thomas 80 (75+5) vacationing on private boats of the legion of doom billionaires.

    To a certain extent, probably so at the very end of his 2nd term, but we're ignoring reality if we don't concede there's a problem with Biden.

    And yet your side offers up Trump, a megalomaniac, egotistical, habitual liar who envisions himself King, and Ron DeSantis, who has demonstrated himself to abuse his power and whose agenda is based on stripping away our most basic rights.

    Offer up a sensible, reasonable alternative instead of embracing extremism.

    Until then, Biden it is.

    Totally agree. He'll most likely resign, but you never know.

    At least Ronnie had a competent VP to take over should the need arise.
    Harris maybe the least competent VP in the modern era.

    Honestly I’m praying Trump isn’t the nominee.
    Wish the dude would just go away at this point.

    As far as DeSantis stripping away our most basic rights hyperbole much?

    Do you believe that Ronna can run a clean Republican nominee process? Trump may bring down down the tent by claiming voting fraud and then run as an independent. The pledge might get challenged.
