[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love Joe Biden and think he’s a great president, and I also trust him to do the right thing for the country, like he has always done.  He’ll probably endorse Harris shortly.  We can’t do this for weeks, we don’t have weeks, and unless he’s prepared to get out on the trail and work like a much younger man, he can’t recover from all of this.  I expected a much more aggressive posture this week after the debate, didn’t get it. Maybe he knows he’s not up for it.[/quote]

Because the dirty secret, which is obvious to people who aren't hardcore partisans, is that Joe Biden is not terribly bright and has a big ego. Second to last place in his law school class, he was a third rate senator from a safe seat who lucked into the VP slot because Obama wanted a court jester who'd always make him look good by comparison (never forget what Obama said about Biden). Biden has a long history of boastful lies and making up stories about himself and his accomplishments. He certainly has an ego. People who hunger for the throne don't make it without an ego. And once you have the power, it's devilishly hard to give it up. All the media talk about how he's as sharp as tack are blatantly lies as we now know.

Then add to it that his family must be terrified of the prospects of a Trump DOJ getting investigative powers.

I don't know what he will do or what the Democrats will do. But no one is coming out smelling of roses, either the party or Biden, and the election is pretty much lost now. You don't lie to the American public for years like this and get away with it.

You're not wrong, but your picture lacks perspective.

You're forgetting that we've had dumb and incompetent Presidents in the past, and that none of them have been as incompetent for the job, and habitual liars, like Trump. Bush Junior and Biden, the two most recent dummies, both tried their best. W. Bush made catastrophic mistakes in the Gulf, and US actions there are tantamount to war crimes. Biden has done less damage in the world, in terms of starting wars we can't stop that lead to decades of Jihad terrorism, than the Bushes. Trump is so mentally diseased that he cannot stop lying, and cannot understand that the job means putting the country before himself. He is so insecure that he has to continually aggrandize himself in the most cringeworthy and pathological way. Also, he can't read. His daily briefings were turned into color charts and graphs. He's the WORST President.

All this to say, Americans have a lot of hubris but their Presidents are often not all that. And yet they get elected!

Kamala Harris doesn't need to be the BEST. She's already way better than Bush, Biden and Carter. Maybe she's not the Obama you're looking for. But she'll do.

How is allowing everyone and their grandma into the country “trying”? [/quote]

It's certainly less cruel, and more economically useful, than going into Iraq and killing hundreds of thousands of civilians, whose orphans "inexplicably" hate us and grow up to be terrorists.

The fewer deaths a President is responsible for, the better. A novel concept, perhaps, for you? Immigration is one of the reasons the US has done so much better, economically, than the rest of the world post-pandemic. My personal opinion is that it should be a controlled immigration, with a border wall and much more funding to process individuals and know where they go - not people's backyards in Texas would be a nice start.

This isn't a defense of Democratic immigration policy. I am pointing out that most US Presidents have made significant mistakes one way or another, and that you cannot suddenly hold the next one, just because she's not white and female, to impossible standards that previous ones did not meet.

Smacks of misogyny, that does. Which is sadly to be expected.
