Then instead of confusing the issue and bashing the president, why not say that you don’t support him because you think he won’t win. That appears to be your main issue.

I’m sorry, what exactly in my comments would suggest otherwise? Of course I don’t think he can win. All evidence and polling for the last year shows Biden behind, which supports the fact that Biden can’t win.

I wish Biden could win. He has my vote, but I’m not the issue. The issue is whether Biden can win; he can’t, and hopefully, he will do the right thing and drop out of the race.

Yeah and the Red wave predicted by all the pollsters and pundits was so accurate.

Biden has been and is now losing by a wider margin in every battleground state. This is a fact. I like Biden, but Inlove our democracy and our freedoms more.

It’s a risk, but less than the risk of sticking with Biden.

I will vote for Biden ahead of Trump because Trump is a menace.

The issue is that the swing voters who decide elections are breaking the other way, and mostly, it appears, because they think Biden is too mentally impaired. How would you persuade them that they are wrong?

He can’t win because 76% of voters think he’s too old.

Some of us think he can't win because he doesn't have the strength, stamina, vigor or mental agility it takes to RUN for President. And that's pretty important.

It takes nothing away from my admiration of everything he's done as President. Of course, if he's the nominee, I will vote for him. But the most important thing is stopping Trump from winning. Can Biden do that?

None of us has a crystal ball. I’m uncomfortable with all the Biden can do this, or can’t do that. Biden is demented, Biden can’t keep up. Biden does more stuff in a day than I do in a week and I take care of my home, work two part time jobs and volunteer for animal welfare orgs.

And really some of the pundits are closer to Biden’s age- Bill Kristol is 71. Charlie Sykes is 69. What is the universal cut off age for old? If republicans win they’ll have old people all working bc they want to end social security. How did it happen that Biden was doing the job - flying all over the world, attending the G-7 and now he’s toast. Mel Brooks is 98 and still working as are many other people. I realize that Biden’s job is unique but CTFO.

We are all getting older every damn day and the media, including the Bulwark is addicted to writing the best and nastiest headlines to work the public up and make everyone more angry. FFS! Enough.

And it escapes me as to why an old republican like KRISTOL, who hasn’t really changed is getting so much trust from people here.
