He spoke about current events, time and place and I didn't see any stumbles. Maybe he slurred two words together three times, but I had to back up my DVR to make sure. And I'm still not sure of one of them. Biden's weakness may be fatigue, but I didn't see anything to worry about --AT ALL! You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25013 | For anybody who thinks there is nothing wrong with Biden, just watch this video. It's a 2012 debate between Biden and Paul Ryan. This is just eight years ago. Watch Biden, he's fast, he's witty, he has a full grasp of every subject. Compare that Joe Biden to the one we see today. It's a completely different person. This is what Biden means when he says he looks forward to debating Trump. He remembers this debate with Ryan and thinks he's still that guy. He's not, that guy is long gone. There is nobody who thinks Biden is capable of being even half of what this Biden was just 8 years ago. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

A guy who thinks you can create money out of thin air endorsing a guy who does not know what year it is. Awesome party they have going there. 'The math says Joe is our prohibitive nominee'----now there is a guy behind Joe! The President is a fink. |

| AZDuffman Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 135 Posts: 18255 | Looking at the numbers Bernie is 200 delegates behind with a ways to go for both. The field was cleared for Biden same as it was for Hillary twice. Bernie can either fade away or continue Operation Chaos and run to the end, hoping to duplicate Obama by closing the gap here and there. Will he pick up enough freeloaders who want their student loans forgiven to make up for people just voting for the frontrunner? Probably not. Will he keep it close? Depends. Will we have a 1968 style riot at the convention with angry Bernie supporters (assuming they are not still afraid of coroavirus?) That would be a perfect start to make my prediction of a violent 2020s come true. Note that unlike the folks rooting for people to die from corona to hurt Trump, I do not want this. But I see it happening. The Bernie-split probably started with OWS around 2010, so is now a decade old. These kinds of movements eventually turn violent when they do not get their way at the ballot box. We saw some of that in 2016. I do not see that they have burned their energy off. To their members going to the convention and getting arrested for protesting is a break from their dreary lives. We shall see what happens. The President is a fink. |

Let's say that fatigue is all it is and that otherwise he is fine. If he this fatigued with a fairly light daily schedule compared to others, how will he handle the 24/7 job of being President? Being President is a tough job and it requires attention to many different items every day, doing things like speaking to a certain group while knowing something is looming in the background that you must figure out how to address in just a few hours. You are given lots of information that is top secret "eyes only" and have to carefully make remarks regarding touchy subjects involving that info without giving away information. Our friends on the left, and even some on the right, have been quick to criticize Trump for how he handles and processes things. Some of those criticisms are fair and some are overplayed. I'm not asking you to denounce Biden, but aren't you at least a little concerned about electing a President who at best has huge fatigue issues and at worst is in an age-related mental decline? |

| ams288 Member since: Apr 21, 2016 Threads: 29 Posts: 12571 | I don’t have a damn clue how the election will turn out as a whole, but after last night I feel very confident in my prediction that Donny is doomed in Michigan. Look at how well Biden did in the suburbs here compared to Hillary in 2016. Lots of white men who wouldn’t vote for Hillary turned out yesterday for Biden. Donny only won here by ~12,000 votes in 2016. We’ve learned our lesson! “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

I am not making any predictions but I would enjoy seeing a list of all predictions here to see who does the best job. I looked at the numbers for Biden in Michigan and they looked great for him. There is a lot of time between now and the election, but he seems to be in a good position there now. |
