He stumbled over every sentence and mumbled so softly, you had to strain to hear him? Hard to believe.

I wished they addressed it a long time ago. I really don't know how America got itself in a situation where they are choosing between a 78 year old psychopath and a 82 year old grand pa on the decline.

I don't necesarily want him to replaced by anyone. I am just concerned by how he is coming across and I would bet that there are some high level Democrats who are concerned regardless of what they say publicly. I really doubt they'll make any change at this point.

Well, I didn't expect Obama to say that Biden sucks and that he is concerned. Obama NEVER had a night anything like that.

Can't get rid of Baez because he'll be replacd by Kriedler and McKinstry. 😃

It's not just one debate. I get nervous every time I hear him talk now because he keeps stumbling over his words and sounds like he has a bad cold all the time. Often times, I can barely hear what he is saying. The debate last night was worse than usual though.

Well, according to Trump last night, firing people makes someone a good President!

He needs to like that all the time, not just some of the time.

It has an effect on me. I don't want him to be President if he can't communicate sufficiently. It's just that the alternative is so horrible that there is no other choice for me. All it takes is to alienate a few thousand swing state voters and the election is lost.

They wouldn't do that. Biden would have to drop out.

I understand that, but if voters get the impression that Biden is not mentally fit and is going downhill, I fear that is going to really hurt voter turnout. And it wouldn't be a matter of bypassing Biden. They would have to convince him to drop out due to a "medical problem". I am not saying that SHOULD happen, but Biden's speaking problems have grown into a significant concern. It's no longer just a Fox News sound clip.

The debate was not an isolated incident. It was his worst moment of the campaign but it was more a confimation of a pattern than a surprise.

Right, there is no comparison. Trump is extremely popular with his base and the Republican Party is screwed without them, so they fall in line. Biden is not as widely loved. He is just the current representaive of Democratic principles. They aren't ikely to lose whatever base he has if they go with a new candidate. The problem with switching this late though is if the switch to Newsome or Whitmer or whomever is going to make the party look unstable which could hurt them with undecideds.

All you need to beat Trump in a debate is "baseline bad". However, Biden was a complete disaster in the early going and there was no way to overcome that first impression. Trump sucked in the debate too, but he sucked in ways that aren't going to influence the average voter. He never answers any questions or gives any solutions. It's just whining and insults and claims about The United States being a ****hole country under Biden. However, he spoke loudly and confidently which is all that's going to matter to his followers and a lot of undecideds.

Walt was part of his username. I thought there was more to his username, but I am not sure.

I heard that Scott Harris had turned the organization into a player development machine. That is not a sarcastic knock against Harris. It's just that fans overrate their team's prospects all the time and there is a lot of luck involved in drafting and development. Even if you do things right. it's really hard to build a core

I just learned on facebook that Walter Partlo passed away yesterday. This is really sad and shocking to anyone who knew him. He was still young and seemingly vibrant and I believe it was totally unexpected. For those who didn't know him, he was a long time poster here. He had quite a life - Marines, PhD, professor, good family man and all around great guy.

I don't think Biden looks old at all. He SOUNDS old.

There are milions of people who just don't pay attention. We keep on making the mistake that people are as aware of what's going on in politics as posters in this thread. Most people don't know **** about politics. And chances are they didn't watch the debate.

He is only getting better because he is triggering Trump into his usual insanity.

I agree, but Trump wouldn't respond appropriately to a national emergency on any day. He is more likely to be the national emergency.

Not when his opponent is stumbling over words in almost every sentence.

Trump is lying about everything as always, but he sounds more coherent than usual.

There is NO way I would ever support Trump in any way, but Biden actually does sound like a senile old man tonight. He is getting worse.

He has been an absolute disaster so far.
