After the
debate between President Biden and Donald Trump, there are calls for Joe Biden
to step down as the Democrat nominee for President in 2024. It wasn’t just a bad debate performance we saw
on CNN, Joe Biden’s performance brought into full display a man struggling with
aging senility.
Biden’s
mental decline was on full display during the debate. Biden froze, he could not carry a train of
thought, and he was unable to mount the simplest retort to the flagrant lies
Trump was spouting; after the debate his wife led him onto the stage at the
Democrat after-debate gathering, she had to speak for him while he stood there
giving thumbs up. It was pitiful, and it
hurt to watch.
In my
opinion, Biden has been an excellent President with great accomplishments
despite a divided Congress. He seems
capable of delivering a cogent response when reading off a prompter, but his
responses ramble when speaking off the cuff.
And the sight of him wandering off to give the paratroopers a thumbs up
at the G-7 summit was disturbing.
I believe
Biden should step down. There are plenty
of Democrats capable of speaking coherently and carrying the fight to Trump. I
fear running Biden, whose fitness to govern for the next four years is
questionable as the Democrat choice, may throw the election to Trump.
The choice
of Biden/Trump brings to center stage the importance of flipping the House of
Representatives to Democrats as a critical election strategy. If Trump were to be elected it would require
a Democrat House majority to keep him in check

I'll Vote Blue up and down the Ticket no matter Who... since, Democracy is at stake. I always felt Joe should have been a One Term Prez, he's done a good job, but, I agree with your assessment. Both Men are in serious cognitive decline and neither should be the next Prez. It is a Hell No and Oh No Choice and it's deeply disturbing. Globally it seems the Far Right is trying to bring down every major Democracy, I'd like to imagine it's not a coordinated effort, but, I'm not so sure it isn't.
