There's a distinction between having the skills to be an effective president and having the ability to be elected president. Unfortunately Joe's electability skills are eroding much faster than his presidenting skills.

Perfect. People don't understand it's two distinct jobs. 1) Running for President; 2) Serving as President. The former is more exhausting than the latter. I ran for state legislature in my early 30s. It was a competitive race (which I lost) and I tell you it was an extremely exhaustive appearance. I remember driving downtown for some event and then afterward sitting down trying to figure out where my car was. I was so tired I couldn't remember where I parked. It's got to be extremely exhausting being President and running for re-election.

This is another reason why incumbent Presidents should not be allowed to run for re-election. They might need to sit out for awhile to recharge.
The difference between 2020 and 2024 are startling
And to say it's a question reasonable minds can disagree about is an understatement.
Good analysis, doc.
Agree with this.
And of course his formidable opponent.
This is a great way to crystalize the problem.
