Money coming for Sleepy now, I think he should be 1.5ish, there's no real desire to get rid of him and he ain't stepping down.
Do you really think he can beat Trump? He might not even live until inauguration day. :lol:
I think if it wasn’t for J6, Trump would win this easily, but that is always in the back of people’s minds.

Joe is toast. More senior democrats are now calling for him to step aside. No way he will reach 1.5 odds. I very much doubt he can get dressed by himself in the mornings.

Four years ago when giving a speech, he used to jog 3-4 metres to get to the microphone. I haven't seen him doing that lately. I hope he doesn't try it either, it could be fatal!

I think 9 have, but more have endorsed him. He’s stubborn, Jill is stubborn and Hunter is hanging around. He went to PA yesterday and was met on the tarmac by both Senators and did a tour with the Governor.

Many will want him out but won’t say it, a bit like with Trump. So you’re stuck with both at the end of day :lol:

Most of what I’ve seen is they’re (congressional Dems) scared of the polling, so a few good polls now what quash everyone’s worries about his age IMO.

Speaking to ABC News on Friday, the president declined to take a cognitive test and make the results public in order to reassure voters he was fit to serve another term.

The president further went onto say that he didn’t need todo a test as every day was a test.

Well, I think he speaks the truth, like getting out of bed.

🤣

He’s clearly slower than he used to be and he definitely shows it, but I think the party knows, is Kamala any better?

Hearing now that they may do a virtual nomination at the end of this month to deal with the OH ballot deadline. Seems to me to be game set match unless Barack comes out and opposes him and that ain’t gonna happen.

Clearly he has a back seat driver but who is that back street driver?

The contempt I will feel for Democrats if they allow Old Joe to stand for reelection will know no bounds.

I wonder what would happen if Joe has to make a world changing decision like asking the person carrying the Nuclear Football to pass it over, enter the codes for me and which button do I press now.

In his current condition do you think that person would follow the presidents order(s) ?

Biden now 1.87, feels like the layers are still going to go at it till the convention. No more calls for him to step down now, appears over but I suppose you never know.

Biden increasingly looks like that frail relative who won't accept that they need assisted care.
