Yet Bradley A. Blakeman, a former White House aide to President George W. Bush and a Republican strategist, said the teleprompter makes Mr. Obama look robotic. “He is extremely scripted, and he is cautious to the max and afraid of gaffes,” Mr. Blakeman said. When answering questions without a script, Mr. Blakeman said, “his speech is very halted, and you can see him take a lot of time to think about what he’s going to say.”
Sounds like he's continuing his push rightward that he did when trying to beat rightwing extremist lunatic J.D. Vance for an Ohio Senate seat.
Which will serve as the larger electoral headwind?
- Biden’s terrible debate performance and ongoing concerns over his mental capabilities
- SCOTUS giving Trump a lifetime emperor appointment
They should have had primary debates where we would have had a chance of getting a better candidate. Should have primary debates every primary. Should not matter if incumbent and party leadership want otherwise.

Probably cancel each other out? Which means a slight Trump edge in most polls, and some predictive models having Trump as high as 60-65% of winning - granted some of these are degenerate gambling sites LOL (but hey, Vegas usually knows...).
Really it's all on Biden. He was already somewhat shaky in 2020 and that was a lifetime ago.
He should have committed to just one term, and party leadership/friends/family/whomever should have made it abundantly clear to him a year ago that his historic unpopularity and declining health were not going to be easy things to overcome.
I get it - incumbency is powerful, but the old rules are dead. This is a different ballgame these days. Someone on twitter said it best - his re-election campaign is now a "vanity project" propped up by party leadership and family, both of whom should know better.
You should consider taking a break from this forum, you've gotten annoying as shitImagine still saying that this is about a stutter. The gaslighting, or insane cognitive dissonance, is incredibly arrogant at this point. It's what got us into this shit show brought upon us by the Dem party. These people are so far detached from reality on this topic, it's almost MAGA like in intensity.
Thanks. It's good to see that a good amount of people here are seeing past the gaslighting of these Biden mini-cultists. Some of us were 1,000% right to be concerned about Biden's mental faculties due to aging this whole time, and insisting the Dems have potentially fucked us with this gamble. Well, the Dems lost this gamble and unfortunately we were correct.
My 80 year old mother, lifelong Democrat, who never says a bad thing about anyone, although she does agree with me that the MAGA people are insane and bad, she just wont' say it herself, saw Biden in the debate and said, nice decent man but doesn't have 'it' to be president anymore.
Vox has an interesting article on the various stay vs dropout discussion
5 terrible reasons for Biden to stay in the race

I would prefer he's replaced, but I understand the case for keeping him.If you are on the replace side of the argument it's getting stronger IMO:

Aren’t those predictive models based on polling that has recently been highly inaccurate and right-leaning?
If you find me more annoying than the people saying this was really about a stuttering off night, then I really don't give a flying fuck what you think. You can fuck off with the rest of those morons. I quoted a post where someone agreed with me about the Biden mini-cult, and a couple others have said something similar. I feel fine.You should consider taking a break from this forum, you've gotten annoying as shit
And if he shouldn't run, why not just resign now? Surely, running the country is more difficult than campaigning for re-election.
It's not that clear cut and it could just completely backfire. And if he shouldn't run, why not just resign now? Surely, running the country is more difficult than campaigning for re-election.
This is why you need to take a break, you aren't even reading what people are saying. The comment about his stutter was in reference to him using a teleprompter at some 15 minute speech or whatever it is spacejamz is whining about.If you find me more annoying than the people saying this was really about a stuttering off night, then I really don't give a flying fuck what you think.

Biden should resign from this race btw.
If you are on the replace side of the argument it's getting stronger IMO:
I think seeing Marianne Williamson run circles around Biden might have opened a bunch of eyes that were blind to Biden's decline.This is the same "we should have had a primary" argument that suffers from the same deficiencies in that you cannot compel challengers to step forward if they don't like their chances. If people think somebody like Newsom who's every bone is made up of 100% pure high test ambition wasn't checking out his own level of support in a primary v Biden you're fooling yourselves.

I stand corrected, though this same poster has said things not too far off to that about Thursday's performance. Since it was so similar, I made an assumption it was about that night. Brainonska is for sure in the Biden mini-cult. K1052, fskim, and a couple others. They are the ones gaslighting us now about Biden.This is why you need to take a break, you aren't even reading what people are saying.

Well then there is also the issue of how do you compel the incumbent's participation? Trump attended none of his party's primary debates simply because he effectively had an incumbent position.
