Poll shows Biden viewed as too old to ‘effectively serve’ another term

I'm pro noun!


Don't recall seeing that one before. Perhaps we'd get better feedback if poor communication of some posts was due to poor use of conjunctions instead of generic nouns and pronouns.

Rino is so I assume Dino is too.
I didn't know RINO was off limits. I assumed I coined DINO (or heard it in distant forgotten memories). As such, I'd assume it hasn't been ruled on. But, it would be consistent to rule against it. Nevertheless, without a distinct previous ruling, I'd call it "grandfathered in".

They might have to rethink this rule, as a certain President is fond of using it.

"Move him out" means what? Who are "they"? "emergency?"
Moving Biden out means to suggest he step down, due to his age and obvious increasing infirmity. Haven't you been following this? It's all over the news, but there is a cross section that is fighting the idea of trotting in Gavin Newsom, claiming that Harris is the logical next choice, and that anyone who sidesteps her must be racist and sexist.

"One person deemed a potential threat to the president was Newsom, who has worried people close to the White House by laying the groundwork for a future presidential bid. Biden allies have not been shy about getting the word out that it would be self-defeating for ambitious white male candidates like Newsom to try to snatch the nomination away from Biden and Kamala Harris, who made history as the first woman and person of color to become vice president."

“When you had people who were trying to test the waters” for a presidential bid, “the party rose up and made it clear to those individuals — who were mostly white men — that to disrespect the vice president would not be well received by women and people of color within the party,” said Karen Finney, a longtime Democratic strategist. “They got a little bit of a smack in the face.”

OK so now I know what "move him out" is. It ain't going to happen. Biden has made that cleat that he is running. "They" seems to be Newsom? No?

Sounds like a lot of speculation and stuff that isn't in the cards.

Still don't know what "create another emergency" means, but thanks for clarifying most of it. Your self-appointed surrogates were unable to clarify.

They are his team, Biden's handlers. They have to direct him where to walk and what to do half the time.

We shall see if he runs, but I doubt it. The irony is palpable, as they will only trot out an old white man while claiming to stand for diversity. Everyone is fully aware that Kamala Harris will never be elected as the candidate, but if Biden could work it like last time, he could get elected and hand it over to her.

I have no surrogates, so I don't know what you mean.

Let's face it. Bidens not running the show. His staff is.

I know we blame Biden for a lot of things. But really some of it's not his fault. He's just doing what he's told. And since he's the president figurehead he gets the blame.
Do you have proof of this?

He can’t follow a teleprompter anymore how could he be making policy decisions?
So you have no proof. That he's not making decisions.

Here in lies the rub. If Biden is not as quick thinking as he has been in the past, then he has a staff and admin that can make it work. Sort of like Reagan when he later had issues. Trump on the other hand, as the poll associates words like “corrupt,”” criminal” “crooked,” “liar,” “dishonest” and “untrustworthy" would have no guard rails what so ever. What's worse?

if he dies while in office they will prop him up like he’s still alive like in the movie Weekend at Bernie’s.
Why on earth would they do that when they could swear Kamala in and watch the right have apoplectic attacks?

He walked out in the middle of an awards ceremony the other day and they’re still trying to convince us that it was all planned in advance. @Pommer talk about dishonest
