Both polarizing figures.

How is Whitmer polarizing?

If this had been an open primary, she would be my first choice.

Harsh covid restrictions for one

LOL, trying to spare lives of Michiganders is polarizing. Ok, Jan.

LOL middle america is not voting for a openly gay man

Does anyone think he has done a great job as transportation secretary??

Sure, why not?

He has been present when there were accidents like in Palestine, OH.
He has lead the administrative changes to get hidden ariline fees out in the open, as well as other ticketing reforms. He has been steadfast in deploying IRA monies to roads, bridges, tunnels and ports.

What has he done wrong, to your estimation?

Ok then, problem solved! He sent out an explanatory tweet.

Pay no attention to the fact that he was non stop horrible at the one event where he’s not reading off a teleprompter.

not really true. the first 15 or so minutes were rough, but as it went on, and in the three events since, he has been fine

He was very bad. Not only was his voice raspy but he mumbled his words and, even with a mic, barely spoke above a whisper. I never thought I would want him to give up but It's time for him to retire.

I don’t think he is even capable or running the country right now, and doubt he is.

Do you want him answering the phone at 3am responding to an international crisis like an attack on the US or a nuclear issue internationally? If I was the military, I would not even bother calling him.

He does it now and is managing fine.

Yes, the situations in Gaza and Ukraine are going just swimmingly.

If the GOP hadn't held up fiunding for Ukraine, Russia might already have been booted out of the country.
Where Gaza is concerned, it is up to Hamas to end the war. That isn't Joe's fault. He has been pushing for a return of the hostages, aid to the Palestinian people, a cease fire and a two state solution.

Trump would simply let the Israeli's eradicate Palestinians all together. I suppose that is what you support as well?

Eh, in two weeks the polls are going to be about the same as they were yesterday. Why would dems change?

Your answer is basically that the buck doesn’t stop with Biden, you know, the commander in chief. Complete BS.

The GOP literally held the buck on the first point.
On the second, he can't force Hamas to agree to the deal that everyone else has agreed to.

+1 Trump would personally give Bibi the US’s nuclear codes to let him wipe the Palestinians off the face of the earth and people here would still be complaining about Biden’s stance on the Middle East.

Biden just made it that much more difficult for him to win reelection. Last night was abysmal.

Trump was bad on delivery and substance, as he always is. But this is the first time the public saw how doddering Biden is. Previously it was small stumbles and mix-ups. This was a prolonged state of confusion.

We really another Democratic candidate.

Put pressure on the White House. It will reinvigorate the campaign and motivate people to turn out.

Because right now, plenty of dejected Democrats and Independents are going to stay home on Election Day.

and yet the snap polls are fine and particularly with the Latino community where undecided broke heavily for Biden.

But unfortunately it's the White vote in PA, MI, WI and AZ that is going to decide this thing.

Whitman, Shapiro, Pritzer, Booker, Sherod Brown, heck, maybe a Shapiro/Casey ticket and lock up the PA vote.
I voted for Harris in the 2020 primaries, and I'd happily vote for her again this year.

Newsom would be low on my list, but better than Biden.

Where were all of these people in primary season? I mean, they all knew about Joe’s incapacity. All we got was Dean Phillips.

When was the last time there was a serious challenge to a white house incumbent?

After this Biden 2024 candidacy debacle, the powerful folks at the RNC and DNC determining who is and isn't a major party nominee option will be more receptive to the idea of an incumbent being challenged. I would rather Biden have his feelings hurt than sit back and watch him hand deliver a second term to Trump.

Kamala Harris, P

Center-Left, VP

Kamala Harris is a black/indian woman. She will enthuse Black voters, who were tiring of Biden.

Also, it's only right, being the current VP.

To appeal to Independents and moderates, we need a center-left VP pick, perhaps a white male.

I think people are ridiculously underestimating Kamala Harris, at least in comparison to Biden. Do I like her, particularly? No. Would she be my first or fifth or tenth pick for president? No. But she was a normal, fairly popular senator and she can speak in complete sentences. I think it is more likely than not that she would still lose against Trump, but I can imagine scenarios where she would win. By contrast, it is now difficult to see how Biden gets through the campaign without imploding and taking Democrats in the House and Senate with him. Further, with Harris, there is mostly upside over the course of the campaign and the next four years. She can learn to be better at politics. Biden is only going to deteriorate. (And given that everyone can see that a vote for Biden is likely a vote for Harris anyway, might as well let her make her case.)

Sorry you are unaware of controversies of your preferred candidates but the reality is yes, her restrictions were very polarizing.

He sounded sick. Did he have a cold? COVID? His voice was not at its best.

But it was the difficulty finishing sentences that concerned me more than the quality fo his voice.
