I am also careless with my details. Stand corrected that it will still need Joe Biden to withdraw to have the final role-call. IMHO the party is more or less cornered. Replacing Biden may be more damaging. It will question his capability not just politics but governance last 4 years and Kamala can't be bypassed. Ny gut feel is that the party will persevere with Joe and have a better campaign strategy in the final election stretch.

Got to factor in the deadline for withdrawal agreed by Trump and the Taliban. Biden slowed the withdrawal by almost 4 months of the withdrawal deadline. The agreement has to be complied. Taliban may react differently if the deadline not kept. There is also a worry that the Taliban was building up their force and may reneged on the agreement. There were constrains put up by Trump’s sloppy agreement.

The committed delegates will have their final roll call at the convention and allow to cast their final decision vote. There are also the super delegates who are free to vote. Real messy if the party wait till the convention. I hope Biden and the party will come to some sort of consensual agreement before August convention.

She will walk out of the White House with Joe if he lose the election. It is call the peaceful transfer of power and has been carried out by every President of the United State since 1789 except Donald J Trump.

Roughly 51.3 million people tuned into the debate which was a significant decline in TV viewership. The value of the debate is questionable in relaionship to the voting mindsets of the people. Most would have anticipated the performance of both after seeing past debates between both of them. Young people were noticeable absent where only 3.9 million between the ages of 18 to 34 tuned in. Most of this group are undecided voters. CNN pulled ahead in terms of viewer count. Listening and comprehending the substance of the debate compare to the visual will have different conclusion to viwers. I listen to few focus group comments and most admitted the poor showing of Biden because he is old. None hate Biden. Not the same for Trump. I guess the bottomline is that neither Biden and Trump have move the dial in terms of undecided voters which will be the game changer in the election.

What has change since 2022 is that Joe is older and has lost a step while Trump is also older but has no intention of changing.

Still difficult to reconcile the fact that Trump is still the worst president and Biden is ranked above him. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/feb/20/presidents-ranking-trump-biden-list

Again simpleton reply. Inflation affected by supply disruption and geopolitical events. No country in the world were spared. Some countries still trying to recover. Low employment due to pandemic and borders were not secured during Trump. Biden policies help in the economic recovery savaged by Trump’s mishandling the pandemic. Well documented. You just another Trump’s apologist.

Simpleton reply with no specific timeline on real wage. Economic not your strong suit. Trump mountain of lies well documented. Reason he is the worst President on record.

That was what Trump’s official said too. https://www.vox.com/2020/11/13/21563825/2020-elections-most-secure-dhs-cisa-krebs

I always wonder why Trump didn't withdraw from Afghanistan after making the agreement with the Taliban during his tenure. I think he creat the situation for a chaotic withdrawal and left that to Biden.

You think most if not all American voters are not familiar with Trump consistent lying and lack of substance? Everything Trump brought up during the debate are no different from his wild, bizarre incoherent rally speeches. Biden not engaging in Trump's lies and allowing him to ramble unhinged and appeared mean will benefit Biden more than Trump. His supporters may be over the moon to see their hero speaking without hinderance and fact checked but he also not gaining anything to expand beyond his base.

Trump has normalised lies. In the past, lies had political consequences. Nixon lied and he was forced to resigned. Bill Clinton lied and he was impeached. Now lies have to be treated like contact sport. Trump lie and lie and his supporters lapped it up and dared the opposition to call him out. Then they will denied the lies and the circle of denial continue. Like saying carry on with the crimes until you are caught. The damage that Trump do to his country will take years to recover.

Overseas trips are grueling. Time zone difference, speeches, meetings, preparations etc. Ask Trump on his 8 days trip and he was only 70 then. https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-trump-fatigue-20170522-story.html

The debate would have a different outcome if CNN didn't have the silly condition not to fact check. Yes both lie but more by Trump by something like 3 to 1. It is significant and has bearing on the viewers.

He saved USA from a poor inherited economy savaged by Trump's mismanagement of the pandemic. The envy of developed countries. Not bad.

Still missing the point. Full rested Trump just can't resist lying in the debate and answering the direct questions and blown his chance to appeal to the undecided and independent voters.

It was actually 2 back-to-back round trips to Europe. Jam-packed exhausting schedule. Attended D-Day celebration in France returned home and left Washington and back to France for a state dinner in Paris. He was busy while Trump played golf and doing choreographed "comfort zone' ralles with the same speech. I am fine. Thank you for asking.

Biden not resting at Camp David. Meanwhile Trump fully rested and still can't deliver.

Trump hire only the best people

Biden had an exhaustive 14 days oversea official schedule before he took on Trump. Any man his age would take time to recover. Trump rested still couldn't resist his rally style demeanour of lies and incoherency. it was a difficult debate whereby none came up winner. Internal polls and focus groups showed no change in voters'opinions in battleground states after the debate. Biden is still in the race to win.

It’s an unfortunate situation for the Rep party that Trump and MAGA are holding them back to nominate a better man. It is a curse as it also split the party.

Most narratives asking for him to step down were from the media, concerned supporters and donors The top Democrats rejected the calls to replace on day one. The party is united for Joe Biden to continue. There really more to fear to replace Joe than just keeping him in the race. He has a good 4 years track record and he is the incumbent in this election. He still raise lots of funds post debate. CBS News/YouGov poll on Sunday morning has 55% of registered Democrats voters saying Biden should continue running. Trump didn;'t win the debate. His lies and refusing to engage in good faith debate and not answering direct question were also not good optics for the voters. I too feel that staying with Biden is better for this election.

It is more than loser and winner in this election. It is fate of the country I see the race differently. It is stabiity vs chaos of Trump. If Trump lose, will he accept the election result.
