    Another prediction. Biden will not participate in Presidential debates. Bold? But man... he would be CLOBBERED if he stood up there and had to recall facts.


    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/special-counsel-report-paints-scathing-picture-of-biden-s-memory/ar-BB1i0qTk

    President Biden, during interviews with the special counsel investigating his handling of classified documents, had trouble recalling the years he served as vice president. He could not pinpoint, even within several years, when his son Beau had died. His memory about a crucial debate on troop levels in Afghanistan was hazy.

    The first day of questioning, at the White House in early October, Biden could not recall when his vice-presidential term had ended. “If it was 2013 — when did I stop being vice president?” he asked, apparently not recalling that he left office in January 2017.

    The next day, as the interviews continued, he could not remember when his term began, saying, “In 2009, am I still vice president?”

    Special counsel Robert K. Hur’s report, while concluding that criminal charges were not merited for Biden’s careless handling of classified documents, painted a devastating portrait of an 81-year-old president whose age has become a central issue in his reelection campaign, saying his memory was “significantly limited” and that he had “limited precision and recall.”

      He’s got nothing to gain in debating Trump and everything to lose. I’ll agree with that prediction.

      At least we won’t have to hear him call Trump a “clown” to his face.

        He won't be running. The fact that they publicized this is just getting the faithful ready for the switch.

          Biden won’t be running. I always thought it would be a switch at the convention, but now I don’t even think it gets that far. It’s probably too late to primary him on Super Tuesday, though. So I think we will go into the convention knowing it will be brokered.

            I think Biden will still run unless he has a medical event. I seem to remember a number of people here were saying he would be replaced in his first term, too.

            I was only joking

              Mr. Biden is finished, done, washed up.

              The only question is whether there is enough time left to replace him. Or does Ms. Harris step into the top spot?

              If it is Ms. Harris, and we get to know her a little better, she has no hope.

              But whoever ends up on the ballot, the winner, from either party, will be the one who says the least. This puts Mr. Trump at a disadvantage.

                Agree also. And because President Trump was not willing to debate during the primary, he has a "plausible" excuse for not doing it.

                  There are WAY too many unknowns to make a prediction. Who comes out as the D nominee? What kind of deals are cut? How does the base respond? Then there’s the big question, Manchin. If Manchin runs, I don’t think he just plays spoiler. I think he takes electoral votes. Which raises big questions…

                    I don’t think that’s as big a deal as people are making it out to be. That happens to me all the time. I might ask out loud what year I moved to westchester or left credit Suisse or whatever.

                      Every candidate of the past couple of decades other than the current 2, would win the upcoming election - Romney, Clinton, GWB, Gore, Obama. It's very disheartening to consider given the challenges the nation faces at this point in time. While Biden would get clobbered in a debate, both he and his nemesis have misplaced confidence in their cognitive abilities. I suspect Biden would relish the chance to lock horns with Trump.

                        I think you'd probably remember when you were Vice President of the United States, though.

                            I will always remember where I was when I learned that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce started dating.

                                He's a cult leader. 40MM people love him, pretty much everybody else wishes he'd go away. Of course that doesn't mean he won't get more than the 40MM votes.

                                    There are 2 large groups, those who like Mr. Trump and those who hate him and insult him.

                                    There are a few that hang around the middle in a smaller group.

                                    To me the insults are remarkable, they just never stop. He might deserve some of it, but the childish nature of it is curious. And the opposition rarely says they hate some policy or other, it is just childish insults.

                                    I can't think of many other politicians who have been treated like this. AOC, Tiny Tim or Pat Paulsen maybe.

                                          As I wrote, it's a movement. It transcends Trump. In fact, it already has.

                                          The GOP of 89th is shrinking and will eventually be mostly swallowed up.
