There is a nontrivial chance Biden wouldn’t make four years

Do you think that there is the same chance for President Trump? Both are in the 70+ years old. Neither seem to live a really healthy lifestyle (but I really dont know for sure).

It just goes to show the dreadful toll that the Presidency takes on a man. When elected, Donald Trump was the healthiest person to ever be US President, now, a mere four years later he's a fat old bloke.

And this man has the vigor to be POTUS?

Or are they trying to figure out the Hunter mess?

I'll go with door #2.

Does this Hunter Biden thing get any real traction beyond those who would vote for Trump anyway?

c). Running out the clock.

There’s no reason anyone but Donald Trump should be campaigning for Biden right now.

Any reasonable excuse to run out the clock should be taken.

“There’s a debate Thursday” is one such reasonable excuse.

If your big issue is “what if the kids make money off of Daddy’s presidency” you’d really have to vote third party.

Yeah, that's true.

OTOH, if your kids making money by diverting money to "The Big Guy" that's something different.

Jon, you and I have the same thinking.

If you are on a sports team, and the other team keeps kicking the ball into their own goal, you will probably stand back and not do anything. Would not make sense to play otherwise. The fans may be mad, but team is just looking for the end result.

The only place I've seen anybody give a shit about it is here.

Obviously, I tend not to hang out in the kind of places where people get overexcited about this type of thing, so I'm probably missing a huge outpouring of something or other.

Replace Hunter Biden with Don Trump, Jr. and tell me that...

I have serious doubts about Joe's long term ability to withstand the rigors of the Presidency.

Still better than Trump’s already proven unfitness for the office.

AFAIC, America has fixed its mistake.

Nothingnhas proven him unfit for office, in fact, its been just the opposite. Of course, for you to understand that would require you to actually think instead of just repeating the lies you've been told to believe.
