If Biden doesn’t ace the first debate, will he be replaced at the convention?

I am not sure why anyone thinks he would have a disasterous performance. He is old, but not senile nor demented.

Everyone keeps lowering the bar and then Biden exceeds expectations. For me, I would rather be where the Dems are than the GOP.

Trump is a loose cannon.

Fewer people are taking this statement seriously. There is something not entirely right with Biden. You cannot spin your way out of it without seeming like a Soviet style party mouthpiece. It doesn't mean Biden is heading for the dementia wing tomorrow, but everything about him, his movements, his slurry speaking at times, his jarring behavior contrasting with other world leaders at these get togethers, the rather childish guiding of him in and out of events, points to some type of *something* going on. Nonetheless, there's enough we've seen and heard, over and over again, across the last six months to have a genuinely frank discussion about his physical and mental capabilities to stand for president for the next four years. Regardless of your opinions, it remains that Biden has done *nothing* to counter and dispel these growing perceptions of him because he still refuses to freely engage with the public outside of extremely heavily scripted and regulated events.

The more honest partisans I've seen on this forum frankly acknowledge it but also say it doesn't matter as long as he's just a figurehead while trustworthy aides and perhaps even Obama are really running the show behind the scenes. That is a form of honesty.

You sound desperate. Must be nervous about Trump’s chances.

Let's compare notes after the 6/27 debate, assuming Trump actually shows up for it.

This is absolute malarky. Biden is hale and healthy and ready for a second term of true American Greatness.

The GOP’s nominee is a convict who got abortion banned in many states, tried to overthrow the government and let a million people die.

So all the media outlets talking about Biden being replaced are just making up rumors?

I wonder if the tribe will replace its candidate following his felony conviction.

That's his appeal!

Trump is mercurial. That means other countries do not screw with him.

Unlike Joe, a known quantity who will sell out the USA every chance he gets.

Saudi Arabia is only the first to jettison the petrodollar.

No one respects us. Hell, the BRICS are going out of their way to tell us to shove off. Jesus, you'd hsve to be blind not to see it.

Great job arming the Taliban to the teeth. SMGDH

I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't show up. But in the meanwhile, he's laying the groundwork for justifying what he knows will be a poor performance.
He has already cast doubt on whether CNN and its moderators will be "fair," and his minions are out there suggesting that if Biden does well, it's because he's on drugs.

What do you think are the odds he doesn't show? Would you put it at 50/50 at this point?

China got A LOT from Trump.
Saudi Arabia got a lot from Trump.
Russia got a lot from Trump.

Our NATO allies were fearful of the alliance being disbanded.
The TPP all but died thanks to Trump.

I don't think you knew what you meant by the bolded.

Jesus Christ, why not just put your hyperactive five year old to meet with world leaders if what you want is ZAPPOW unpredictability combined with an utter lack of experience and knowledge. I'd trust your hyperactive five year old over Trump honestly.

There is no appeal.

Dp... What are you going to do with yourself if Biden does well in the debate (and he very likely will)

Make a bunch of wild claims, like that he's on magic performance enhancing drugs that cancel out dementia? If such drugs existed, it would be a gamechanger.

Or are you going to claim someone is feeding him the answers via secret earpiece? If you actually ever worked with people who have dementia you'd know that wouldn't work, it would only get them even more confused and disoriented.

Or are you going to push even stupider theories like maybe it's a robot replica at the debate or alien reptilian shapeshifter...

What will you do if Trump stumbles, gives stupid answers, rambles off topic and can't control himself (as constantly happens at his rallies)...

Who knows. The one thing I know for sure is that he will never accept defeat or responsibility for anything. If he doesn't show up, he'll spin it to make it seem like it's the other side's fault. If he does show up and doesn't do well, again, it's the other side's fault.
