I'm sure that you know that the only accurate poll is the election, and 2 years out it is  too soon to be speculating about who will stand for POTUS.

SO you have a problem with my post but not the post that it was in response to. I think we know why that is. In the bag for Trump much? Here's that bizarre over-the-top post again:

Any dumb idiot in charge of the country is a threat, and that fits trump exactly.

 

After all, with his many failed businesses, lies and deceit, along with the attack on the U.S. Capitol that disrupted a joint session of the U.S. Congress in the process of affirming the presidential election results, which trump stated was "stolen" from him, the man is mentally unstable and a threat to democracy in every way shape or form.

 

So he is a threat, along with the poison he spouts and which weak minded and weak willed supporters gladly lap up. Indeed, a threat which should be eliminated.

He is not in charge any more. You don't have to expend so much angst and mental energy obsessing about him. You want to hurt Trump? Ignore him.

 

Your use of "should be eliminated" really speaks volumes to the depths of your derangement. When we get to the point that we consider 'the other side' is actually evil and not merely wrong, then any possibility of compromise or reason go out the window.

So strange, then, that the world enjoyed four years of relative peace, whilst this "dumb idiot" was the  President. That sense of peace, of course, has now gone, with the arrival of the new "smart" POTUS. ????  

Superstitious behavior often springs from the logical fallacy known as Post hoc ergo propter hoc (Latin: 'after this, therefore because of this') is an informal fallacy that states: "Since event Y followed event X, event Y must have been caused by event X." It is often shortened simply to post hoc fallacy. So it's not surprising that you would seriously invoke this since so many of Trump's admirers think he's magic.

And I'm sure you have convinced yourself that those four years of relative peace were because of this dumb idiot trump. And of course that the Russian invasion of Ukraine was the fault of Biden – – – some very faulty logic there, but then again that's natural for someone who supports trump.

 

No rhyme nor reason nor logic in the argument you have, but then again, those who drink the Kool-Aid seem to be of the same ilk.

He was off script and displaying his typical & frequent cognitive failures. His press sec confirmed there was no mistakes on the teleprompter.

He gaffed, end of story.

 

Nobody is responsible except Biden.

I guess you have never had a lapse of memory, to be so strident about it.

Biden haters will jump all over unimportant gaffes to distract attention away from the fact he is getting America back on the rails after 4 years of Trump chaos. He has a team of professionals helping him, unlike the toadies Trump preferred.

"A lapse of memory" would be one thing, the man is 79 years old after all.

 

Yet they are recurring, getting worse, and show no signs of ending. This is a far cry from the good old days of "friendly Joe from Scranton, the happy-go-lucky hair sniffer".  Biden was never a very bright man or deep thinker at the best of times. Now that he is aging so rapidly before our eyes, the problems are too much to ignore. 

 

If he had an even somewhat competent VP I think there would be a very substantial hue and cry from within the Democratic party for him to step down.  Perhaps 'for health reasons' and leave the VP in charge. Yet even that option is off the table.

So you concede that there were four years of relative peace? Good. I guess Trump is just lucky.
 

The Russian invasion of Ukraine came after those 4 years and caused by Putin.

Far from deterring Putin, Trump did the opposite. Thanks to Trump, Putin was able to take advantage of a period of apparent detente during which Trump actually pursued Putin’s own policies of weakening NATO and democracy and destabilizing the West — leaving Putin free to prepare his war against the free people of Ukraine and their democratically elected government.

A poor piece that falsely accuses, assumes and guesses without proving or explaining anything.    

 

How did Trump weaken NATO and destabilize the west?

I suggest you check out the speeches Biden has made when dealing with crises such as Ukraine, he came across as cogent and focused. 

Reagan and Eisenhower both were known to be nodding off in their second terms, no-one cared particularly because they had professional support staff.

Trump is 76, his only talent as a politician is dog-whistling the fears and prejudices of a support base that is too dumb to realize he is just using them.

I am 79 too, and I am getting tired of this ageist garbage.

Not ageist at all. Consider that John McCain was widely called "too old" at 72 when he ran for president.  Think honestly for a minute- do you think that YOU, as a fellow 79 year old, would be up to the job of President? 

 

Not saying that Biden is a 24 hour basket case. He does have moments of clarity and brief spurts of energy. But they are interspersed with more and more periods of confusion and cognitive shut down. I don't think Reagan or Eisenhower ever tried to shake hands with a ghost, or repeatedly could not find their way off a podium, or dodged the press to the extent that Biden does.

Give me a break. Politifact has been carrying water for the Democrats for years. 

 

There is simply too much mounting evidence that the President is behaving in a manner consistent with a 79 year old man. Forgetting things, getting lost, needing 'guidance' from various sources (his wife, his staff, the Easter Bunny).  

 

The fact that everyone in the Swamp knows this is by the staggeringly few interviews and press conferences Biden gives. He is almost completely unavailable to the media for anything other than a shouted question.  I guess hiding from the media was a successful strategy in the 2020 presidential campaign, so no need to change now.

No trolling. No technique. On several occasions when I have asked straight questions I have been accused  of baiting/trolling etc. Seems to be a pet tactic (or to avoid answering at all.

Biden, Bush, Trump, it's all junk. I can't understand how communities can be so staunchly opposed to each other when it comes to politics. In the end, it won't make you any better. Whether you're a D or an R, you're the loser as long as you allow politics to tear the community apart. Form a collective against any political group. Then you can make your country a better place.

It's called divide and rule. Been practiced since the Roman Empire existed. If people were united, it would be "difficult" for the ruling "class" ( ie professional politicians living a cushy life at other people's expense ) to get away with the bad things they do eg starting wars in which the voters get to die in large numbers.

Did Biden write those speeches himself?

If not, all he has to do is be able to read a teleprompter.

 

Trump isn't the topic despite attempts to make it so.

To be fair, it was a chaotic 4 years, but caused by his opponents continual attempts to oust him ( and always failing ), and the IMO despicable Sessions for recusing himself instead of resigning. Should have been sacked on the spot.
