Are you surprised? Or you happy for Trump and his plan to save the democracy ideology now that Biden's out of the way where he (hopefully) can do no kore harm. In realty Biden should resign and thrown out of the WH. He deserves nothing less. I even suspect the 25th was dangled in front of his feckless face to help him arrive at his decision or some financial bribe or other coercion. Now you don't get to witness Trump humiliate the coward Biden again in the Sept 10 debate.

Let’s stick to the facts.

 

Biden has withdrawn his candidacy.

 

Trump’s campaign needs now reorientate to whoever the Democrat candidate is, most likely Harris.

In the meantime we can witness the traction that attacking Biden on age and cognition has gained.

 

I very much look forward to the Democrats confirming their candidate, to hearing the choice for running mate and the forthcoming election.

Nobody except the most deluded liberal could think Harris was chosen as VP for her abilities, intellect or charm. Obviously a DEI choice as she is coloured and female. DEI is poisoning the USA and UK.

Line up the qualifications and experience of VP Harris against those of JD Vance.

Is Biden normal.....? I think not so much, but he's defiantly NOT mentally well and likely never has been. He should come out, and give a live address to the nation and explain why he's quitting and not some 1 page hidin biden letter.

"Defiantly" ???? Are you mentally well?

 

Biden's time as POTUS has been particularly good for the USA......

 

Biden presided over an economy that defied pessimists and continued to grow even as its central bank pushed up borrowing costs to historic highs to fight inflation.

Growth

America’s post-pandemic performance has been impressive, with the country bouncing back from lockdown faster than any other G7 nation. The world’s biggest economy is now 8.7% larger than its pre-pandemic size. This compares with 1.7% for the UK and 3.4% for the Eurozone.

Jobs

More than 15 million jobs have been created under President Biden and, until recently, unemployment stood below 4% for the longest stretch in 50 years.

Official figures show the US economy added 206,000 jobs in June, slightly higher than predicted by economists.

Health insurance

Ensuring Americans have access to affordable healthcare is one of the Biden administration’s biggest achievements.

The share of working-age Americans who do not have health insurance has dropped from about one in five before Obamacare was signed into law, to less than 10% today.

Ukraine

Biden helped to secure billions of dollars in fresh military aid for Ukraine this year after months of political gridlock over the issue. Many leaders in Europe are concerned a second term for Donald Trump in the White House would weaken financial support for Ukraine and Nato.

Trump claimed he once told allies at a meeting he would encourage Russia “to do whatever the hell they want” to countries that don’t meet their defence commitments.

It probably wasn’t a good idea for Trump and his campaign to have made age and cognitive decline such a central plank of Trump’s campaign.

 

He’s probably also wishing he had chosen a different running mate.

 

It was his own that complained most.

Harris isn't my pick - superficial things like her nasally whiny voice are not assets. But she's fairly smart. Trump is dumb and ignorant. So there's that.

 "dumb and ignorant" really?  become POTUS, a billion-dollar business, and a beautiful wife?  no matter how much I loathe Biden /Harris, I would never call them "dumb and ignorant", Which sounds very... dumb and ignorant.

It’s out there and will almost certainly be used by the Democrats against Trump.

 

 

 

And there were many planks to consider.

Check the immigration and border security and the massive failures by Biden and his feckless VP to do anything meaningful except destroy all of Trumps border and immigration achievements and also go check who's speaking with UA Prez Zelensky about stoping the war and bloodshed....NOT Biden. He's not sure if Putin invaded UA and Iraq at this point. Also ask yourself when the feckless Biden is getting $hit-canned by his own party for doing such a great job. As yourself why all the polls favor Trump in just about EVERYTHING and why Biden tried so desperately to jail Trump and like everything he does, Biden FAILED and nows he's GONE in humiliating fashion just like they do in banana republics! LOL

Wait until the DNC Convention when Democratic senators, congressmen and women, and the Democrat Selection Machine tries to get rid of Kamala Harris, which they will.  Watch it - "Knives out and get ready to do the DEI/Racism Rumble."  Anyone who refuses to back Harris as the nominee will be labelled a "racist", a "chauvinist", anti-POC, anti-GenX, and haters.  It's gonna be absolutely nasty and wicked.  I'd bet a paycheck on the DNC elites dumping her for sure.  Oh yeah, right now they may say they endorse Harris, but it means nothing until Aug 19-22 during the DNC convention. 
Then look out below.  Especially if they try to shoe-horn Hillery into the spot.  Harris wants the presidency.  Why not?  She was the VP.  If the Democrats were so short-sighted not to see this train-wreak coming back in 2019, well, they deserve to lose.

As a true lame duck he has nothing to lose except for his legacy.  Which might not matter because I doubt he will be around much longer.  He is 82 and not looking very energetic. Also, does he really where his presidential library will be built. Therefore, "let the pardons start flowing".  I wonder who might get pardoned first???? 

 

That has to be a big consideration with this decision, as there is much for Joe to do before January.

Listen to a Trump speech if you can stop yourself from nodding off. Where his mind goes. Ask yourself if he is really smart on the things he should be smart about on world affairs, economics, actual things that matter in formulating policy . Street smart in some ways. OK maybe not dumb and ignorant if compared to the average punter but compared to other Presidents - for sure in my opinion.

Bit of an apples and oranges comparison considering that Harris is probably going to top the ticket, but...

 

1/ both first term Senators. Kamala from a very safe seat, JD beat a Democratic incumbent.

2/ JD was a Marine, Kamala was a lawyer

3/ JD wins on academic pedigree, Yale vs. UC Hastings. JD was also editor of the Yale Law Review

4/ JD has worked in the private sector. Kamala has spent her life on the government teat

5/ JD has three kids, Kamala none of her own

6/ JD has a compelling life story of grit and determination. Kamala..... child of radical 60s academics in Berkeley.

7/ JD has won several debates. Kamala was schooled by a Hawaiian surfer.

More to the point, what will Biden do after the election results come in.

 

He’ll be in possession of the very lawless power Trump wanted and the SCOTUS confirmed with nothing to lose.

After November Biden will be in possessin of his bicyvle so he can take daily rides around his house in Delaware.

I respect Joe for bowing out of the election. Still believe that he can beat Trump. No doubt he is old but his faculties are still intact compare to the rapidly cognitive decline of Trump. I am sure Trump’s allies can see his decline but too afraid to speak out and call for his resignation. 
 

 

are you serious, 'old but his faculties are still intact' have you been watchig totally different new to the rest of the world? di you not see the debate, or practically any time he's spoken?

why do you think the media and his fellow dems have suggested he steps down.

and by calling Trump a racist, Hitler, a threat to democracy, white supremacist, Marist, for the past 8 or so years. Don't forget Trump took a bullet for democracy, whats Biden  done lately besides quit earlier today and don't forget his imbecile like debate performance the entire nation witnessed. LOL Thats a lot of traction especially when your going backwards uphill in true biden fashion.

I learned a about JD after reading Hillbilly Elegey. He had to be the adult of the house when he just a kid.  My respect for him started there.  I may not agree with of all his positions but he dug himself out from becoming a "white trash" loser.  Met a lot of people who never got out when I lived in Kentucky. 

[WhatMeWorry]

Its about time Biden was removed as a  candidate but why is he allowed to continue to be President when he is obviously not functioning on all cylinders? I cannot imagine that things will be better under Word Salad Harris. And who will be First Lady under Harris, Hillary? This cannot be a good thing for the citizens of America.
