Biden for President?

What would you count as evidence? If I posted a sourced quote from a real MD saying that Joe Biden likely has dementia would that count as evidence?

That would certainly help. But I'd need to know on what he's basing his statement, what his qualifications are, etc.

The following former candidates, all having interacted with Biden, have endorsed him for POTUS. Do you seriously think they believe Biden has dementia?

Sen. Kamala Harris
Mayor Pete Buttigieg
Gov. Deval Patrick
Rep. John Delaney
Mayor Michael Bloomberg
Sen. Amy Klobuchar
Rep. Beto O'Rourke
Rep. Seth Moulton
Rep. Tim Ryan

His qualifications are that he is a Geriatric psychiatrist with expertise in dementia. If I provide the sourced quote, will you admit that this is evidence?

I would bet that some of them suspect it. Do you really think that would prevent them from endorsing a candidate?
 
Does it matter, if it gets Trump out of office?

Who would you rather have as president? Dementia Joe or Crazy Donald?

At least Dementia Joe's cabinet could be trusted to apply a 25th Amendment solution and keep the country on track. Seems like there's all kinds of good reasons for good Democrats to downplay Biden's limits in the middle of election season.
 
Just another part of the misinformation campaign coming from Russia.

I never said it was coming from Russia; I merely wondered as the memo presents itself as being an official campaign communique but the Sanders campaign had disavowed it. So if the Sanders campaign isn't behind it, who is?

Do you want to claim that Russia isn't engaging in a misinformation campaign directed at the election? If you aren't, then why isn't it quite possible that this is part of that campaign? As we already know, Russia was behind the Crowdstrike DNC server-Ukraine hoax.

I'd be happy to see it. Please do so.

.

Then I suggest you refrain from gambling.

Why, yes. Yes, I do. You are seriously claiming that all these people would knowingly endorse someone with dementia for POTUS? Unbelievable.

I seriously believe it wouldn't matter to them whether he was compos mentis or not. He could be a drooling vegetable and they'd endorse him just to preserve party unity. The only alternative is Sanders and his socialism.

Look at how many people knowingly endorsed Trump.

I'm pretty sure Biden meant that only a mainstream lifelong Democrat can defeat Trump, not people who sometimes have and "R" or "I" after their name. Trump similarly utters sentences that get away from him completely, but probably not as politically suicidable.

Heightened visibility is probably not going to help him, but he will be getting some high-octane surrogates on his team.

The videos of Biden are real but if you talk about his odd behaviour you are engaging in a Russian misinformation campaign.
 
The difference between Biden's and Trump's gaffes are that Biden has a long history of misspeaking in the moment and later apologizing or deferring to more capable people on the matter, while Trump has a long history of misspeaking in the moment and then doubling down and insisting he was right all along and everyone else was wrong no matter how insane his interpretation happened to be.

I would have preferred to entirely avoid any situation where I have to weigh the ramblings of one crazy white grandpa with another in considering which should be President, but they're certainly very different beasts.

Or you could just vote for the lucid guy who wants a fairer America for everyone.

Trump doesn't make gaffes, he simply says whatever will boost his ego and heaven help anyone who dares contradict him.

And if Sanders is the Democratic candidate that is exactly what they should do, but the same applies in reverse. If people throw a tantrum because their perfect candidate didn't get the nomination and fail to get out and vote, well then they will have no one to blame but themselves if the USA winds up with a 2nd Trump term.
 
Lots of potential presidents make gaffes, and yet they still become the President.

For example, does anyone else recall Volume 1 of "Bushisms" that was published even before he became the President?

Well fortunately Biden isn’t president. America is in its first stage of weeding out flakes. It is bizarre that he is being touted here as the best DP candidate. It’s crazy.

Don't be silly, no one in swing states wants that guy. You've got your spot in the corner next to the Greens, go back and wait there, we'll get around to possibly considering your policies someday. And please remember to raise your hand and wait to be called on before speaking, these are the rules that the whole party voted on, mkay?

No, he parrots people and gets it wrong, but insists he didn't. Like that hurricane which he was told something like "could impact places as far as Alabama," that he interpreted as "it could hit Alabama," and went so far as drawing a track hitting Alabama on a NOAA prediction map with a sharpie, just to avoid having to admit he misspoke.

Let's be honest though - one of his primary qualifications as compared to those who have already dropped out was "ability to raise campaign money". At least if we are to take their word for it at face value. And yeah, that's a pretty insane criterium for choosing a candidate when you think about it.

Trump as the more experienced fool will destroy Biden.

Money from billionaires who are scared of Sanders putting the interests of American workers before theirs.

No, that kind of glib nonsense doesn't get people off the hook. Trump won last time because a bunch of Democratic voters who weren't keen on Clinton convinced themselves that she was bound to win so they could sit home or register a protest vote. There are no excuses this time. Biden, Sanders, doesn't matter, they will still be infinitely preferable to Trump and if you convince yourself otherwise, then you are complicit in a 2nd Trump term.
