A wreck looking for a train.
I would say both.
I've met plenty of true to life idiots that have more on the ball than Creepy Uncle Joe. I think he is wandering off into moron territory.
Maybe Joe isn’t running voluntarily. Nothing would surprise me at this point.
Bless his heart.
Great bumper sticker material. Just add “June 2019” below the slogan.
I think Joe is ageing fast..
How Trump does it is beyond me...but it might bite him in the future..
I really think they should have an age limit..for Presidents and Judges..
Why should judges be there for life..
And Senate and House also
The problem with age limitations, is that different people age differently.
Who would think Trump would have the stamina to do what he is doing at this age?
I think 70 might be a reasoned cut-off point for presidents. Look what we would have lost out on with regard to Trump.
Perhaps there is an argument to be made for people being able to function as an independent person, as it relates to judges.
Ginsberg would fail that test > IMO. I don’t know for sure, but it’s pretty clear she’s frail and simply cannot be mentally sharp any longer.
This to the death do us part thing when it comes to judges, is pretty whacked.
If we do set some limits, you know damn well the democRats would game the system to pack the court.
As bad as things are, I’m not sure of a solution to it.
Both.
I see the media as being active agents in choosing the Dem nominee and I'm not sure the media's hearts are into protecting Biden. If the media figure that most of the blue collar Trump voters are not going to swing back to Biden — and I don't think they are going back to Biden — they have to worry about the rest of the Dem base. And the rest of the Dems are, as you know, OBSESSED with race/gender/ethnicity. The only reason that Mayor Peter Butt is in the race is because he's a gay guy who is married to a man; otherwise, as the white, male mayor of a city nobody cares about, he'd be toast. Beto is a joke who stands on things you're not supposed to stand on and outright apologizes for being a white man.
Keep your eyes on Obama. Biden is desperate for Obama’s endorsement, which, if it comes, isn't going to come in time to matter in the primaries (IMHO). Obama is obsessed with race and you know he doesn't give a damn about Biden.
The fact is, Biden has trouble not looking like a jackass when he's at the top of his game...and he's now 76 1/2 years old...and he seems worn out...his campaign schedule is very light...and if he gets the nomination, he'll be running against Trump, who, despite his own advanced age, has freaky stamina.
No, I am not betting that the media will protect Joe Biden. I think they are keeping their options open. If they think “Sleepy Joe” won't get the job done against Trump the way other Dems would, they will turn on him in time to nominate someone else. They'll give him SOME time to pull himself together...but not much time.
Tick-tock, Sleepy Joe, tick-tock.
You make great points. But the media protect all democrats at some level. Sometimes if they are forced to pick one over the other they will cut one loose but not before. As long as slow Joe is viable they will protect him and hide is many and obvious deficiencies. If someone better (from their perspective) gets within striking distance then they may stab him in the back and push him out the window but not until then.
