Which, of course, can not be an exact diagnosis of any sort, but Biden is not up to the task and that's just too apparent to ignore any longer. He was never a sharp debater, but he was way sharper four years ago and apparently declined massively. And I defended him longer than many others, but this "agenda" of mine is now unsustainable. How would this guy behave in a crisis, would anyone really feel comfortable with him calling the shots and making quick, consequential decisions?
Not to be misunderstood, I feel quite uncomfortable with Trump as well. It's a whole mess.
That's always been my dominant question about Trump. We got a pretty good answer during COVID. And before that when he trashed the Iran Deal and pulled out of the TPP.
Now I have an additional question--how will he govern now that he has plan to change the structure of the executive and bend the DOJ to personal revenge? How would more of his nominees affect the Supreme Court? It is not impossible that he could end the war in Ukraine--in Putin's favor, and give Netanyahu carte blanche to destroy Gaza. Our NATO allies must be VERY nervous while our adversaries are hopeful Trump wins.
His debate performance ratcheted up my concerns, the wild spewing of untruths. It matters if the C i C believes and/or disseminates conspiracy theories and lies, because those show poor judgment, bad intentions, or both.
Perhaps Dems need to understand that it is less about Biden than about Trump. Harris, or another prominent Dem, could at least preserve Biden's gains and prevent four years of Trump chaos.
