He is seemingly protected from himself by his staff. I wonder if he ACTUALLY believes that he is the best for this frightening moment. Part of me thinks he is simply doing everyone a favor by pretending to run. A favor, by avoiding the meltdown that is supposedly going to happen in the Democratic Party if they have to go At it amongst themselves.
If he is i hope he gives up his running sooner than later.
But part of me Also sees this as Biden as a man insulated from Reality, from his mistakes and from the perception of just how badly he looks at times. He's not being done any favors by his staff for protecting him: they are doing exactly what was claimed happened in Trump's years: that no one wanted to and ever did give him any news he didn't want to hear.
With Biden, I think it's only been a partial replay of that, but entirely around his own performance and weaknesses
Because how can i reconcile the Biden who believed that America was at Risk and needed to be defended at all costs, and Biden who is blinded to his own issues (maybe) and too deep a victim of his handling to see how much of a risk the public see him as.
