As a long time lurker here, I am finally compelled to write. I am bewildered and dismayed at the blindness to the reality of the situation in this community. Did anybody actually watch the debate? This is the debate Joe Biden wanted? He was shocked that Trump would lie! He was ready with no facts, had no ability to engage and fight back. He stood there with his mouth open and eyes half closed, and when it was his turn to talk, he could only mumble.
The Republicans have 90 minutes of fodder to use over and over again to demonstrate Biden’s unfitness for office. Why haven’t we seen it yet? Because they want to run against Biden, they don’t want him replaced. They will crush him and every other vulnerable Democrat if he stays on the ticket.
Right now the race is two geezers running against each other, each declining by the day. If Biden stays, Trump wins. We need someone young and energetic, with ideas for the future instead of dwelling on the past. At least we’d have a chance, which we no longer have with Biden.
We have six weeks to fix this. Bring out the best we have, let them talk about their ideas for the future, pledge to not attack each other and provide full throated support for whoever emerges.
I’m sure Joe Biden is a really nice guy, and he is the one who saved us from Trump four years ago, so kudos for that. But that time is past , and I don’t care about his feelings or his legacy. We need to beat Trump, and Biden has no chance at this point.
Republicans know it and everyone here should too.
