I would like to make two comments. First, if you watched Biden's address to the nation about the assassination attempt, he was not impressive, even with the teleprompter. I was very disappointed. Second, concerning Trump's fist bump while being escorted to his vehicle, he endangered all the agents that were trying to protect him. They didn't know for sure that there wasn't another shooter. He was stopping them, and it was those agents that would have been hurt, all for a photo op.

Has Biden been a good President? Yes. Is he a good public speaker. No.

You know who else was a horrible public speaker? George W Bush. He was also not a great President. But the Republicans would never have ditched him. What the fuck is wrong with the Democrats. They have not guts at all.

I'm a die hard Democrat. There is a reason Biden's approval numbers are so low. This is Jimmy Carter territory. Should we make that mistake again???

Give me name. You think of any politician who can be bear Trump. You can't just believe any Democratic candidate will beat Trump. Or you just dont like Biden and don't care if can beat Trump. Who is 78 by the way and crazy.

Harris has less experience than Trump, but she has Biden's war chest. But, why would anyone vote for her? Whitmer would be good, but why would she give up being governor for a slim chance at being president. Same for Shapiro and Bashear. They both would be great, but are they willing to give up their Govenorships? Newsome? Voted for him for governor, but he couldn't convince the rest the country to vote for him. But all of this moot since they have no national campaigns and no money. Biden can't legally pass the campaign funds on to them. They would each have to build a nationwide campaign in less than 2 months with no money. That's impossible.

Biden's campaign could refund the money and those donors could then donate to the new candidate. Harris on her own as the current vice-president would energize the country. People are looking for someone viable to vote for.

The rest of the democratic world doesn't spend as much time as we do in elections. We are in constant election season, and don't do much else. In this age of instant information maybe we can rethink what we do.

I’m a hard core Democrat, and it pisses me off to no end that we have no Killer Instinct.

I agree. Trump is a horrible candidate and every Republican and all the Right Wing are praising g him all time. So voters belive them.
