Where is Biden hiding?  No photos, no voice calls, nothing.   I understand that he might be sicker than everyone thought, but a little transparency would be nice.  

He may of fallen down those steep steps at his Beach House.

 

Of course MSM will never confess.

Anyone else pondering the irony that it was Biden's own hubris that doomed him? 

 

Had he not challenged Trump to the debate, he'd still be in his basement campaigning.

 

Rookie error. From a 50 year veteran. I guess he just couldn't help himself.

Or his staff wanted an evaluation of his condition, under pressure. Which they got.

It's being described as a soft coup from the inside.

 

And that's probably a fair characterization.

[Real Name Hidden]

Biden was waiting for Trump to choose a VP mate before dropping out, or Trump would have had to choose Haley to have any chance of winning in November. 

[Danderman123]

Given Trump's mental condition, it would be good for the country if Trump would step down in favor of a younger candidate.

How come the foreigners here who support Trump don't want to talk about GOP policy or Project 2025?

How is Kamala Harris as the candidate going to impact turnout in November for women, blacks and South Asians, compared to Joe Biden?

 

 

Funny how you love to ask stupid questions but can’t answer legitimate questions to you.

 

Why is that!  Can you explain?

Not just foreigners.  I have never heard of this mysterious Project 2025.

 

But then I don’t watch MSNBC or the View.

 

Nothing on Fox.

 

I’ve only seen it mentioned of all places on this forum.

 

Once again be more specific about “GOP Policies “.

 

I know, probably asking too much.  Even though it’s on your topic.

 

Placeholder is available to bail you out.  Just ask him.  He seems to be a fine chap, for a liberal.

What happened to the Republican "unity" message?

Now we can get onto the business of beating Trump. I am not a huge fan of Harris, but I would take Taylor Swift over Trump. And the advantage Harris has, is that she is articulate rather than rambling, focused rather than incoherent, and smart rather than dull, and semi senile. Trump is now the oldest candidate in history, and he is far too old and feeble. She has 50-60 IQ points on him, which means she should be able to dissect him like a coroner in a debate. Though it is very likely Trump knows that and will not have the courage to debate her. 

 

With a good VP candidate like Shapiro, it will be a formidable team. Two coherent and smart folks, against two idealogues. 

 

It is going to get interesting.

     I think it was the right decision for Biden to step down.  He was unable to turn the tide back in his favor and it was smart to see that and get it over with.  He will go down in history as a good president.  And, as the president that saved America, and democracy, from a second term of the worst president in US history.  No small feat.  He will always have that to look back on, with pride.  

     Poor Trump must be gnashing his teeth down to nubs.  Now, he's the old, semi-senile fart running--and, positively ancient compared to Harris.  From stories I've read, he's already regretting his very poor choice for VP.  I would be regretting it, too.

    I think Harris will be a strong candidate for the Democrats.  Hopefully, she will pick a strong running mate that will help deliver one of the swing states.  She will easily win the popular vote--Biden did by 7 million--but the cursed Electoral College is the beast that must be fed.

Trump’s mental condition is perfectly fine.

 

Much better than many who post here.

WOW. That wasn't what I was expecting, but it was better.

 

I'll have to check U Tube to see if there are any VDOs of snowflakes crying.

I don't see how it's going to change anything. Nobody that would have voted for Trump is going to vote for that horrible woman, and likely any that would have voted for Biden will do so for Harris. As usual it'll come down to independents in swing states voting on policies. More of Biden's tragic immigration policies is not going to impress them.

Also, she can't point to any personal success as VP. She was a disaster on the border.

Middle America IMO hates Washington and Harris is a Washington creature as much as Biden was/ is.

That's as likely as me winning Tattslotto.

 

Narcissistic sociopaths would sooner chew razor blades than do something altruistic, it's just not how their brains are wired. It's all about them.

 

Don't you remember Trump saying " I don't care about you, I just want your vote"?

He will rip her to shreds.

 

If you have seen her speeches and still think she’s qualified as POTUS you need serious counseling.

It's a tactical move.

We haven't have hillbillies in the White House since cow fence post fixers father and son from Tejas (correct spelling) were there.

Isn't that Biden you are talking about- the man that was convinced he was capable of being POTUS for 4 more years?

Do you believe everything you read? Even for Trump haters that's rather quick to be spreading BS.

She pretty intelligent so she would probably do better than Harris too.

And as a result, the party had one of the best fundraising days ever.

Was it a good day, or was it just all the donors that withheld their contributions because it was Joe, now sending the same amount they would have donated anyway?
