And eventually they will have to do a goodnight from her.
If they think Kamala Harris is a good candidate, I have a bridge that I would like to sell them.

Really sad seeing someone with Parkinson's and/or dementia and/or whatever unravelling, though equally he's a man happy to see Gaza carpet bombed. Most of all, he's a selfish fuck to let it get to this point, ditto some of his family and key advisers. There's no doubt that this stuff will have been showing up on whatever cognitive tests he will have officially or unofficially undertaken (regardless of what his doctors claimed the other day).

In case there was any doubt, President makes no bones and is unabashed

Biden forcefully declares he's staying in reelection race in major news conference
President Joe Biden has opened his highly anticipated press conference with a forceful defense of his foreign and domestic policies, and is batting away questions about his ability to serve another four years, even as he flubbed a reference to Donald Trump in one of his first answers.

Thing is though (I recognise what you are saying) he seemed quite relaxed and down to earth. Thoughtful, competent, on his brief.
If you think some very slick, younger more forceful speaker would be more likely to win, unfortunately I would definitely agree.
Whether he or she would be a 'better' president I don't know. I suspect not.

Thing is that its reached the stage where perception is more important than the underlying reality, especially given that the press are now circling like vultures.
I dont actually have a prediction about what the democrats will do, especially as I dont exactly rate them, but now things are even more of a circus than they usually are.

He's saying the polls aren't accurate or aren't reliable, though I don't know what the polls are saying. I assume then it doesn't look good.

He's nearly tied or slightly ahead of Trump. Harris is polling even better. the dems got this, folks...

I might have agreed until he started rambling about gun control.
It's a Trump move. Can't remember your retoric? Switch to something you can remember your rethoric for... even if that wasn't what you were asked and keep going in the hope they forget the question too.
The press were too kind. The question should have been ask "How many reassurance press conferences is too many reassurance press conferences?"
As a person totally in control of their faculties tends to need none.

Exasperated, not angry.
A few minor stumbles apart, he actually did pretty well, I thought. He answered all the questions with detail, was barely repetitive, was pretty darned staunch in defending his record and his workload. The only problem was...
That's a pretty low bar
He only sounded good when you thought "well, compared to how Trump would be answering"
You were still waiting with bated breath breadth every time he paused to see if he would pick up where he left off

I honestly put a lot of it down to the speech impediment.
It won't sway any voters but notwithstanding the red-hot fulcrum of Urban 75 debate he did well there.

Biden was raspy, mumbly, but mostly fine. That’s the worst scenario for Democrats | Opinion
This wasn’t enough to force him from the race, so his party faces a daily drip of bad news — and the possibility his final fall will come too late to fix it. | Opinion
Biden. Old but heart in the right place and surrounded by realtively normal people. Or Trump, a man who has vowed to end democracy and believes America literally has invisible planes, stares directly at an eclipse and believes that the noise from wind turbines, which he calls windmills, gives you cancer.
I'll take four (probably fewer) years of Biden than Trump any time. You get Biden, you plod on for a bit, you get Trump and the world is fucked for a very very long fucking time.

Half the muttering of Biden not being up to it has to be Harris as VP would take over... hence the calls for an open primary

This is the problem though: clearly Biden is the better choice, as it stands. But Biden cannot function. Gaffe after gaffe. His performence after the debate at a rally was touted as a comeback, but it's just as bad. He sounds old and tired and people will see that. It's a gamble and can we risk running him given that, in the next debate, he could be as bad or worse

According to Hunter Thompson. Nixon chose Agnew for VP as a life insurance policy
