Trump was a Democrat before changing to a Republican.

Path of least resistance to get to where he wants to be. Biden is clueless the man needs to be enjoying what time he has left on earth not arguing over stuff that he or any other clown can fix.

 

[Weezer]

Democrats have been denying Biden's dementia for the last couple of years. Hopefully last night finally served as a wakeup call.

Republicans just don't seem to care that Trump is a delusional narcissistic liar.

I can't vote for either of these buffoons.

Democrats during the debate:

Nah. This was the plan all along. Now they can replace the ice cream man with who they want without having to go through the primaries.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

But…he defeated medicare!

That comment was hilarious and also sad at the same time.

 

[rekinhavoc]

Part of me thinks they are busy cutting an immunity deal for the Bidens if he agrees to step down.

The other part of me doesn't think the puppeteers will give up their power.

I've never liked Biden, but watching elder abuse of this magnitude makes me feel great sympathy for him.

Agreed

I went to a pre forth party at the assisted living where my Mother in law is. She’s in a memory care unit with dementia.
Sounds like I had a similar experience as watching the debate

 

[hog88]

It's a huge distinction though

In good conscious, I can vote for a lying politician. I can't vote for an invalid...

Joe was a habitual liar before becoming an invalid.

 

[Majors]

16 advisors stealing money at this point.

 

[Majors]

Joe was a habitual liar before becoming an invalid.

Can’t be understated enough. Joe is who he has been since 1972.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

That debate was pretty much the most disastrous outcome for the democrats. Defeating Medicare was not a good idea.

 

[LSU-SIU]

There is nothing new if anyone has been watching him for 5-6 years. This was the plan all along if his numbers started to decline. All of sudden they're all saying the same thing. They have to convince him to step aside so they can run who they got lined up without primaries.

The other part of me doesn't think Dr. Jill will give up their power.

Imagine the landscape today had CNN and MSNBC took the same honesty back in 2016 election. Instead of fan girling Hillary we are probably not here. Trump is wrapping up a second term and we have two different candidates.

 

[hog88]

Do you think it’s at the point they want Biden to resign and Kamala finish the term as 47th?

Would be fascinating for historical nerds.

I don’t think they want Kamala holding that office for even 1 day. If she ascends they can’t replace her on the ticket and my goodness no way she can win a legitimate election.

it proves the Dems and liberal media have been lying all along about Biden being 'sharp' in private meetings and on top of the issues and coherent

 

[hog88]

More indictments coming?!

We go to war.

 

[DD4ME]

 

[hog88]

didn't watch - will any voters be swayed as a result of this?

If they’re not I’d be shocked.

 

[volbeast33]

Unless she plays along…. I don’t see how they can replace him and skip Kamala without seeming racist/sexist.

 

[Majors]

The dems didn’t want Kamala either. Brit Hume says all the delegates are Biden voters. Their only option is Biden stepping aside. I don’t know how that happens.

It speaks volumes that she’s not mentioned as next up. Almost as if she was a check the box hire.

Jon knows this is a clown show. Both these guys should just drop out .
