    This is approaching critical mass. More and more Democrats are agreeing that Biden's only chance to save his candidacy is to get out in front of the American public and convince voters that he is mentally capable of being president. The only way to do that is to have Biden do either a live press conference or a live interview. The problem with that of course is that Biden isn't capable of doing it.

    Biden will do a taped interview with George Stephanopoulos on Friday, which will air on Sunday morning. The interview can go two ways. One, Steffi can try to save Biden with an easy interview and ultra friendly editing. Two, Steffi may be under orders from the Democratic establishment to finish Biden off so they can get on with picking someone new.

    There are two what I consider monumental problems with this. First of all, every consequential Democrat (and liberal news organization) knew Biden's condition all along and actively covered it up. Even though this won't happen because people are brainwashed, the Democrats and media should never be trusted again. Secondly, the party of "saving democracy" is throwing out the guy everyone voted for and truly "disenfranchising" voters for one reason and one reason only: They know Biden is going to lose. If Biden was in this condition and was way ahead in the polls they wouldn't give a flying ****.

    The next problem of course is who replaces Biden. Michelle Obama isn't happening. She has zero interest in it. She's also totally unqualified, not that this would make any difference to Democrats. Michelle Obama knows nothing about the issues and wouldn't do any better in a debate with Trump than Biden did. But she's not running anyway. So, you either give it to Kamala Harris, who would get trounced by Trump, or take a shot with someone else. The problem with someone else is that everyone wants to be that someone else, and whomever is eventually chosen will leave a trail of hard feelings.

    I think the Democrats should let Biden stay and get his ass kicked, and start fresh in four years. But it won't happen.

    I would say it's looking the opposite.

    There are articles today saying he was thinking about dropping out. Maybe he had another senior moment and accidentally let the cat out of the bag, and then the WH rushed to correct it and say he is staying.

    IMO he is stepping down.

    He is to either drop out because of mental issues or he gets prosecuted for being mentally competent enough to steal and hide classified information if he stays and runs for office….

    Highly unlikely that he drops out. He (and more importantly Jill) don't want to. Plus, the risk of legal challenges blocking the replacement from appearing on all state ballots

    Dems screwed themselves with 4 years of stupidity.

    I don't think he's gonna drop out. He just gave a speech and referenced the civil war and did OK in my opinion.

    The media didn't show FDR in a wheelchair either. Whatever is going on with Joe has clearly accelerated. How long has it been bad? Nobody on the forum knows. Hell, you guys said the same thing about Clinton when she fell down once. It's the right's "move".
    Nobody is being "disenfranchised". Again, using right wing talking points that you used for Trump. Yes, if he was ahead in the polls, I wouldn't care. Trump is insane.
    Are you serious. Yes, she doesn't have any interest but to suggest that Trump would beat her in a debate is ludicris. Who actually thinks Trump is a good debater? He's terrible at it.
    Probably not.
    Who cares about hurt feelings? In politics? NO.
    For the sake of the country, it better not.

    Nope, I'm still saying Biden will NOT drop out of the race. He's in it to win it.

    Also, from what I'm hearing, and I could be wrong, unless Harris is on the ticket then a replacement would have to start bringing in loads of cash real fast.

    Yes….. please let him run…. Then prosecute VICE-PRESIDENT Biden for willingly and knowingly hiding classified from NARA for seven plus years and then lying to the FBI and NARA when they found them.

    Here's something interesting as to why Biden might not drop out or be replaced. Without a war chest, any replacement would face the daunting task of raising millions in such a short period of time.

    I think the best bet for democrats is to keep Biden in the race and ramp up the cheating and voter fraud.

    Uncharted territory: Could campaign finances keep Biden on the ballot?
    An FEC commissioner said there are 'too many hurdles' to replacing Biden as the nominee

    While calls to replace President Biden as the Democratic nominee continue to plague his re-election efforts, campaign finance experts believe financial roadblocks could prevent another Democrat from stepping into the role.

    The Biden-Harris campaign brought in a huge cash haul this cycle, reporting $127 million raised in June alone. But if Biden were to be replaced or step down as the nominee, there are serious questions about whether another candidate would be able to inherit these funds.

    While there are several candidates being floated as a Biden replacement, a political fundraiser with knowledge of presidential campaign finance told Fox News Digital that, as of right now, the money "is only accessible if your name is Joe Biden or Kamala Harris."

    Election law experts told Fox News Digital Vice President Harris could likely use the campaign funds given that her name is on the Biden-Harris ticket. However, even the vice president could face hurdles with the money.

    Yeah, he's not bad reading from a teleprompter. But you had to notice in the debate he is mentally over-the-hill. And ask yourself why Biden will not do a Q&A press conference. We have a senile president who is afraid of reporters -- LOL

    He will drop out -- Check out the opinions of democrats for proof. He cannot "win it". Look at his sad debate and then add 4 more years -- He won't know who Dr. Jill is. Most folks have seen the proof. Even the media now has to report the truth about Biden's dementia.

    Well my prediction is that he won't drop out. The dems who were closest to him knew about his mind going for years and didn't care, so the only issue is to manage the public relations.

    And they still won't learn. You can bet on the next person they push on us is yet another bad insider pick like Hillary and Joe, and not somebody who emerges organically with a groundswell of popular support.

    That Joe was encouraged to run again, and that he had no debates in the primary tells us all we need to know about the current state of the party. The party insiders claim to be alarmed about Trump, but they would prefer losing the election to him over them losing power in their own party. Similar to when they thrusted Hillary onto the nomination.

    That's the party line. He's not dropping out - until he does.

    Yes, they did, and the GOP is doing the same thing, running a guy that is older than Biden when he ran four years ago. Plus, betting on that guy as a one man show, with everyone else playing doormat to him. Most likely, the GOP will regret this down the road. But, for now, they can rub in their likely short-term victory.
