[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

Nicely put. Harris will do just fine. More importantly, she can pull us out of the geriatric tailspin we’re in. [/quote]

Rests on the flawed assumption that Harris can carry swing states in which Biden was already trailing Trump before the debate.[/quote]

Swing states weren't going for Trump.  They just weren't going for Biden.[/quote]

This is delusional coping. Trump has solid leads in most of the swing states. How do you define that as not going for Trump? You could make the argume that the last time they weren't going for Biden, they just weren't going for Trump.[/quote]

Trump continued to lose 15-20% of the vote to Haley months after she dropped out. She is now "barebones supporting" him (i.e., she's not out there pounding the table) to make sure she's positioned for 2028. The cope is thinking there is some overwhelming mandate to vote Trump into office. That doesn't exist.[/quote]
Many of those were open primaries where strong Dems crossed over to vote for Haley in an effort to undermine Trump.[/quote]

Most of those primaries were party affiliation only and did not have crossover votes. There are other avenues for you to gaslight, though.[/quote]
