    So much can happen in the coming year - with the economy, world events, Biden's gaffability, Trump's legal issues, etc. While both candidates "should" win their primaries, it is not a safe bet on either side.

      We focus so much on Biden’s age but remember Trump turns 77 in June, is morbidly obese, eats junk, and doesn’t exercise.

      Only non-witches get due process.

          He golfs, but when you use a cart that’s not much in the way of exercise.

            @jon-nyc he also shags porn stars. That sounds pretty energetic to me.

            I was only joking

                      Trump’s hour-long rants are rather unhinged but everyone’s used to grading him on a curve. There’s no expectation that he will be coherent and consistent from one day to the next.

                              @taiwan_girl I may be wrong, but if I had to guess, those photos of "cheat sheets" that are (supposedly) in Trump's hands look like they were written by the sharpie-loving Trump himself, rather than a White House aide.

                              Here's some samples:

                              image.jpeg

                                @George-K I agree. But I also think that his secretary or aide worked with him on what to write.

                                And as I said above, I would be more concerned if a president went into a meeting/conference/whatever, without some sort of preparation, like a cheat sheet. When I have done them, we would anticipate questions/comments and have bullet point responses.

                                For example:

                                Meeting with Economic Officials in Thailand

                                Point: Taiwan increasing chip making in Thailand

                                Pros:
                                increased cooperation
                                economic benefit (add data)
                                previous chip manufacturing
                                skilled workforce
                                etc,

                                Con:
                                Utility concerns availability (electric, water)
                                Local opposition to land reclaim
                                skilled workforce
                                etc.

                                (I realize that the original was kind of a different thing with President Biden.)

                                      Way too early.

                                      I'm not convinced Biden will run. I think if his poll numbers are bad going into the fall, he'll have a sudden "health problem" that will preclude him from seeking reelection and the dems will have to come up with an emergency candidate...And it ain't gonna be Headboard Harris.

                                        Way too early.

                                        I'm not convinced Biden will run. I think if his poll numbers are bad going into the fall, he'll have a sudden "health problem" that will preclude him from seeking reelection and the dems will have to come up with an emergency candidate...And it ain't gonna be Headboard Harris.

                                        I agree with this. I think it is harder and harder for an "unknown" to get the nomination, but who knows. Maybe someone from the Democrat side would emerge.
