That’s the likely route. very little chance Biden will go on his own so he can go play rounds of golf and carry his own bag as he said. I doubt even the hardest Biden supporters believe that line of malarkey.
The golf exchange was the most cringy thing in the debate for me. Trump brags about a tournament that he controls. Biden stupidly tries to challenge with golf superiority. Dumb by both. Biden should have said "I'm too busy running the country to worry about golf scores." and moved on. But he repeatedly got sucked into Trump's question dodging tangents. The moderators never fact checked anything.
It was not good for Biden. It was as expected for Trump. If you are a Trump fan, you probably loved it. If not, you saw Trump deliver a steady stream of lies, deflection, and almost no concrete answers. Time will tell how important the debate actually was. The 4 year Presidential record of both men still stands. If you watch right wing news, you probably think Trump is the greatest ever and Biden is the worst ever. If you watch normal news, you probably think the opposite. Those positions won't change. Only the most apathetic and uninformed voters will be moved, and they might be moved to not bother going to the polls.
I think the replacement talk is just net and talk show fodder, but it's not the kind of stuff that happens in real life. Dems will continue with Biden, and while he is barely alive, his opponent DT is always apt to do/say something completely bonkers and lose his momentum from last night.

It is still fascinating that this type of lie sufficiently works on Trumpers...
Trump: Everything we did during my term was the best in all human history.
Everything Biden does is the worst in all human history.

Just make a list of the most rancid and toxic posters on Letsrun. They all have one thing in common: they support Trump. Horrible people and personalities.

I know like the Dems would never ever demagogue an issue. It's always such sophisticated political discourse on that side of the isle.
A few years ago George Bush Jr was "Hitler!" yeah.. George Freakin Bush was given the same Nazi, Hitler, blah blah blah talk that DT is getting, and that DeSantis will get, and whoever else opposes them will get.

It's much more thedon' gender than color. We live in a heavily patriarchal society, and yes with plenty of racism. The combination of the two are lethal for a candidate like Harris. Obama didn't pose any "threat" to whiteness AND more importantly he's not female. By the way, I believe if he spoke more like the typical black reverend (think Sharpton) the country would not have elected him. Women would not vote in significant numbers for Harris, period.
NOW - if the WHOLE D party aggressively got behind her (unlike the unenthusiastic support shown for Hillary) and she came out viciously swinging, her chances would improve against the likes of Trump but I think still a long shot.
Can the people who oppose Harris not be classified as racist but instead don't want her as the candidate because she is incompetent?
Well, she's not incompetent. She would do just fine as President. She's just not likeable and she's a bit socially awkward. So, fair to dislike her for those things, but competency is not an issue. Trump dropped that bar to the ground.

Isn't it insane? A skillful liar will add subtly, nuance and maybe use statistics to deceive.
None of that is needed with Trump's base.
Imagine a used car salesman pitching a POS car. What would you think if he just kept saying this car is the best ever and that other car you are considering is the worst car in the world? And just kept repeating that.

How’s she doing on the border? Has she discovered the root causes yet?

yeah I'm pretty sure after a Harris presidency virtually her entire cabinet would NOT say 'that lady should never be near the WH ever again.'
The majority of Trump's cabinet did say Trump should never be president again, you know.
But you morans will put him back in there. Boggles. Why do you know more than the sec of defense?

I'm a Dem, but I have thought all along that if Biden really cared about the party or the country he would do the right thing and step aside. These elderly leaders trying to hang on to power when they have lost much of their mental capacity is disgusting. I'm talking about Biden, Trump, McConnell, Feinstein, Pelosi, etc. And I'm in my 70s.
But I've given up hope. Trump will win unless something happens to him, but hopefully in 4 years we can start over with new leadership and a clean slate.
Yes and no.
1) Biden lost the election last night. It's over.
2) It would great if Biden would step aside. Would have have been MUCH better if he had stepped aside before the primaries started.
3) But the thing that many people forget is that the image that you have for Biden (or Trump or McConnell or Feinstein . . . ) is not the image that they have of themselves. For some of them (and I think Biden is one) it is not a question of "trying to hang on to power". They truly believe that they are the right person for the job even when anyone on the outside can see that they should hang 'em up. In these cases, I don't think it is really disgusting. More like sad and pathetic.
Biden was really bad last night, and he SHOULD drop out. If he doesn't though, it's premature to say he lost the election. Many people, including me, would vote for a bag of hammers over Trump, so this might be a test of that. Trump still has SERIOUS baggage...he's a felon. He's going to be sentenced soon. He has more legal trouble beyond that. His party has imposed draconian rules on women. I'm not sure people will just jump to vote for Trump because Biden is old and showing it. It's clear that norms and the rule of law are in place with the Democrat Party and that lawlessness and authoritarinism are in place with the Republicans. All that Republican negativity is still a tough hurdle for them to overcome. Biden's poor performance last night makes it interesting though.
