  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Looks like the debate was a disaster for Biden.

I didnt watch the debate as it has reached a level of politics that I dont care for, but the newscasters this morning were almost cataclysmic of the shocking feedback they are getting. We can see it in the headlines..












I think Biden will have to refuse the nomination and they pick another candidate other than Kamala Harris, it cannot be seen as anything but a catastrophic failure.

He actually did better than I thought he would. It’s like they’re finally seeing what we’ve been telling them for a very long time,It’s not deep fake videos. The man has problems

While everyone focuses on Bidens unfortunate ill state, Trump gets away with a plethora of lies. I dare anyone to honestly choose which one is worse. Blessings

Moral depravity is obviously worse. But it will be a tough sell to the low information voter.

Pick one and vote for you favored candidate.

Or pick none of the above and make your vote actually count for something other than a vote for one of the worst two.

Trump may be the first president to win by default.

In Reagan's latter years, I knew CIA operatives who said bluntly to those of us in the room that they had completely stopped consulting Reagan on CIA operations. Other agencies likely operated the same way (I couldn't say, never having similarly been behind closed doors with anyone at the FBI or Treasury or Human Resources).

But we've seen already that Lloyd Austin thought it was okay not to let the president know he would be out of touch for several days. What else are the agencies already not telling Biden?

I get it they don't want to confuse him. I really do. But shouldn't the VP have constitutionally replaced him already if he's that confused? There are decisions that require the informed authority of the president of the United States. If Biden can no longer give that just who is running this country? Shouldn't we at least know who the names are of our unelected leaders? Who has been running this country for the last 3.5 years?

Obama, Biden has done everything that Obama wanted to do but didn’t.

In the same way that Bush should have publicly stepped up to replace Reagan. But for whatever reason, the White House didn't take that action.

That WAS the constitutional option.

If Kamala wants her moment of glory she should move now to replace Biden. Call in a neutral doctor from Walter Reed. I actually thought that would have happened a few years ago. I guess it should have.

Younger but still incompetent. You can’t laugh your way through the presidency.

This reminds me of the old saying, 'the cure is worse than the disease' as that is not the way they will go even if he steps down IMHO..

Here is a good read on his options...

'Can Biden be removed from the ticket?
It would be difficult. Biden faced minimal opposition in his party’s primaries and has secured 99% of the pledged delegates to the convention. Those delegates will be chosen in large part for their loyalty to the president. Absent extraordinary circumstances — and a backup plan — it’s unlikely they would remove him from the ticket.

Any challenger to Biden would have to announce his or her candidacy before the formal vote, publicly challenging the incumbent in a high-stakes attempted party coup.

How soon must a decision be made?
Soon.

The Democratic National Committee had already planned to move up Biden’s nomination via a phoned-in roll call ahead of the convention to satisfy an Aug. 7 ballot deadline in Ohio. The Republican-led Ohio legislature has extended that deadline, but the Democratic Chairman Jaime Harrison has said the party will go forward with the early roll call anyway, making the convention — which begins August 19 — a mere formality.

What if Biden steps down after the convention?
The decision to replace him would be made by the members of the DNC. But then the party would face another hurdle: Printed ballots with Biden’s name already on them.

Laws vary by state about how a vote for Biden would be counted if he’s no longer the nominee, but his votes would likely go to his replacement when the Electoral College meets.

Who are the possible successors?
Vice President Kamala Harris is the most logical heir apparent, but it wouldn’t be automatic.

Other candidates waiting in the wings — who deferred to Biden and continue to publicly support him — include California Governor Gavin Newsom, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.'...

yep - now even the democrats outside of Biden's inner circle "handlers" and his news media spin doctors - know what has been going on -- and with election day looming large on the horizon they need an actual candidate who can function in office.

Some people think that this was the strategy for having this debate between candidates BEFORE The respective conventions - so that democrats would have the in-your-face blaring news outbursts in June - to give them some motivation for making a change at their convention.

What lies? The news media, and democrats have been lying to us for years. Some acting shocked at Bidens condition is a farce.... They got caught.... all of them.
