Just imagine how demented Trump will be in 2024, a year from now. Not looking good at all.

Put Biden on the stand. See how that goes.

A whole lot better, that's how it would go with Trump. No lashing out like a toddler. No screaming, no tantrums.

Is this really what you want from a President? Screaming and tantruming and insults? That's what I am referring to as Trump's mental state.
As well as the fact that he forgot he wasn't President in 2021.

Three pages and this seems to be the only comment on Biden's diminished mental capacity. Anyone with the misfortune of having a parent in this situation knows this only gets worse. While he is sometimes mentally sharp, he is just as likely to be incoherent and shuffling about like an old man. Why are Democrats afraid to state the obvious. No chance he can serve another full term? Bring on Newsome or someone else.

I would counter by asking why Republicans are afraid to acknowledge that Trump has in the past and is currently also showing signs of cognitive decline. There are tons of recent examples of him talking on camera and being incoherent or confused about where he is. Perhaps you haven't seen them if you only follow Fox or Newsmax, but I can assure you that they are real. Granted, Trump doesn't look as frail as Biden (probably because fatter old people just don't look as frail as thinner old people), but given that both are bound to have some defects due to age, most sane people are going to go with the guy who has more experience (Biden is probably the most experienced president we've ever had)--and who isn't actively undermining the constitution.

Easy, there! I am not making a case for Trump. I agree he is also in decline. You are throwing Fox News, fat people and everything else as a response. The point I am making is that no one is addressing the elephant in the room and that is that Biden, while once sharp and competent, is np longer is sharp and competent. Saying that he is better than the other senile guy is a poor argument. Biden needs to step aside or be pushed out of the way. Why is everyone walking on eggshells and being defensive about this?

I could’ve written this. ^

Biden clearly doesn’t have the awareness to step aside, which is very unfortunate.

The vast majority of Americans say Biden is too old to be president. It's nothing personal. Most people would like to be old one day. We can all see that Biden today is not nearly as cognitively sharp as when he was VP during the Obama years. That's life. Most 80-something people are not fit to do mentally or physically taxing jobs. There is a near universal consensus that people in their 80s shouldn't be president. Why democrats in the White House and Congress refuse to face up to basic common sense is mystifying. They seem to think that because Trump is Trump, reelection is guaranteed. But every poll is screaming otherwise. Biden is going to lose. People are not voting for Weekend at Bernies. The arrogance and presumption of democrats today is breathtaking.

Name a time in modern US political history where a sitting president didn't run for re-election because of external forces (ie not Lyndon Johnson who chose not to run himself and wasn't 'forced out")

Concern troll.

Biden is the Democratic nominee. Now fight the Republicans who want to put a criminal, rapist, traitor in office or get the hell out of the way.

The real question is: which of these guy’s succession plans do you trust most? Because they are probably equally likely to die while in office between 2025 and 2029, all of the rest of this conversation is just horse race nonsense having nothing to do with how the country will be governed (and whether it will exist as we have known it).

Never once saw a Trump plan—for succession or anything else—that wasn’t a shambles in execution. No thank you.

There has never been an 82 year old president in demonstrable cognitive decline running for reelection. It's uncharted territory.

Absolutely no one in this country wants to see a redux of Biden vs Trump. Two elderly men that have lost their marbles. Normally, Trump would lose to a potted plant. But democrats are presenting a gift by nominating a very elderly man who stumbles with every little thing. It's a big problem. Biden is going to lose. I don't want to see Trump as president again. But democrats are gifting it to him. And if you don't see that, you need to get off Twitter/X and go to Pennsylvania and Michigan and Nevada and talk to actual human beings.

My prediction is the DNC will select the Candidate at the Convention via the good ol smoke filled back room. It will not be Biden. It will not be Harris.
Also a primary is out of the question.
Axelrod and others writing these type of articles on behalf of the Megadonors and party powers that be to convince Biden to quit the candidacy on his own, with some dignity intact.

No he is not.

He is. Quit whining about it, dust yourself off, and get in the fight against the GOP. There is work to be done.

Much better to celebrate his accomplishments. Righted the ship after the pandemic. American Rescue Plan. Bipartisan Infrastructure. CHIPS and Science Act. Inflation Reduction Act. Solid international leadership after Russia invaded Ukraine. Avoided the recession that everyone predicted. The dude has been amazing.

You sound like the kind of person who will be surprised when voters insisting they don’t want Biden don’t vote for Biden

I don't think Biden and Trump have completely lost their marbles but agree with what you are saying otherwise. This is indeed an unprecedented incumbent circumstance due to the sitting president's age, his historically low approval rating, and the likelihood of a replacement candidate being able to more easily beat the awful opponent. I won't lose respect for Biden if he chooses to stay in the race and ultimately loses but I'd be more than okay with it if he chose to back out of the 2024 race.

Biden is unlikely to win reelection for two reasons: his open border policy & his running mate.

Achshually, Trump was president for 20 days of 2021, so that is technically accurate.

Who's Trump's running mate going to be? I mean, let's be serious. What normal person would consider running as Trump's VP and what normal people would even be willing to work in Trump's administration after what happened the last time around? I realize the border is a big issue for many people, but as an issue it shouldn't trump more fundamental issues like whether the Republican candidate is fit for office, is willing to observe laws and abide by the Constitution, is willing to accept an electoral loss and has a qualified running mate who will also observe these things.

Narrator: It will be Trump versus Biden barring one or the other passing away before then. Choose wisely.
