Why? I watched and thought he was over-prepared with stats and answers. Instead of free flowing, he seemed to be trying to remember all the info which had been drilled into him in the previous week. That, and he didn't have a teleprompter to cue him on speaking points. At 56, I acknowledge that prompts help me too.
Will Biden step down?
- Thread starter Frankfooter
- Start date
No snub. VP's aren't automatically the next Presidential nominee. Biden knows that first hand and Mike Pence knows that by the skin of his neck.
So, 17 years ago a great looking man, admits to sleeping with a woman. He should get nothing but kudos on this forum board, no?
Note, she wasn't a porn star that needed a subsequent payoff.
Tough to stand there and look natural while taking accolades when waiting to speak. Now he should keep his mouth shut, but perhaps he was actually sick and stuffed up. His voice last night was hoarse, no?
So he didn't have the benefit of a great team. The President is an aggregate of a great team. Sell me on Trump's team.
Because the Democrats couldn't have 2 white guys on the ticket. I'm not saying that's right, or wrong, but they felt they couldn't and it apparently worked as the Democrats won the last election. Also, why would Newsome want to play second fiddle to Biden vs. first fiddle in California which provided Regan with a direct path to the presidency.
I don't think VP is a direct path to being President.
VP's haven't been that successful in becoming President.
- Mike Pence
- Joe Biden (took a break)
- Dick Cheney
- Al Gore
- Dan Quayle
- Walter Mondale
- Nelson Rockefeller

But, everyone knows it's a team that runs the government. Led by a leader. No one IRL thinks it's one guy. If you have to google IRL, then give up.

Impeachment is a mugs game. I told that to a guy sitting at a Sushi Bar in Dallas in 2019 when he asked me what I thought of Trump and the Democrats wanting to impeach him. That was after I told him I was Canadian and had no right to comment as I didn't have any skin in the game.
He pressed me so I said it's a "mug's game". He didn't know what a mug's game was, so I told him a game you can't win, you have to beat him in an election.
My same comment to the Republicans. Beat him at the ballot box. And it's not rigged, just beat him.
Actually what you said is counterintuitive. Think about it. What's more dangerous? The team that works to hide something as big as this with the power of the liberal media helping to conceal it. Or the lone wolf held in check by other branches of government.
That's a refreshing thought. Beat the guy who is allegedly destroying democracy rather than rely on Colorado or a Manhattan D.A. to take him down.
Where was this Biden last night?
Remember he is a stutterer and his slipups here are actually stutters.
If it is because he had the teleprompter then why did the Dems insist on the debate where there was none?
Something is wrong in the state of Denmark (Shakespeare)
Biden should have the dignity to resign from the race but his backers would lose their jobs
and tell him not to IMHO

And hair and make up just had a bad night. Otherwise he was fine. Except for the "being a living corpse" bit. As Nicholas Kristoff pointed out, all over America people are having the discussion with their aged parents about taking away the car keys. It's not just one bad night he is having.
Trump was eating Joe's lunch today at a rally

I am not exactly sure a Presidential Candidate Newsom wants to campaign on his California record. While economic issues tend to cut down the middle, I don't think Americans will like Newsom's regulatory, cultural and law enforcement policies.
I'm not exactly sure how progressive California Democrats are vis-a-vis Canada's Liberals, but I sense they are copacetic on some issues and Cali Dems would be considered bat shit crazy on others up North.

She was never elected as VP, she was appointed as the VP candidate on the Biden ticket and was thus elected when he was elected.
