Dems across the board seem to be saying Biden should drop out, but Biden's team, who (probably?) know him best and see him most, are saying he's fine and can run.
Assuming the optics aren't just completely wrong, and he's actual doddering and can't function past 4 in the afternoon, why would his team push so hard to get him another 4 years? Smacks of elder abuse. What is there to gain from having 4 more years of Alzheimers President? Is the gravy train so good they need to Weekend at Bernies the guy, and keep the slot machines paying out?
Or what?

Biden should come out and give that guy the business. Tremble on him and such.
Seems peeps are beginning to despair of our leader, in his house.

I suspect it's a status thing. Today they are the president's staff and advisors. They have power through access, and no restaurant denies them a reservation. Without Biden, they're unemployed back in Iowa. Surfing on the back of a suffering geriatric is kind of evil, though, but we are talking about DC.

Couldn't find one that was just the video, but yeah...
My dad is 83, and I know Biden did more to keep in shape than my dad did, but damn... people over 80 shouldn't be president. Or in Congress.

I groaned at "France defeated fascism". It proves the meme "Anyone that disagrees with me is Hitler."
Rigging an election to prevent the will of the people (people voting right outnumbered the left voters) who are sick of open borders and watching their culture and country be transformed into an Islamic State somehow is democracy, huh? Wait until those Muslims you're constantly importing start winning all your elected positions. They're going to show you what actual fascism is all about.

Great Grandpa referred to Zelensky as Putin in front of NATO, tonight.

Gosh, I wonder why the White House delayed his Big Boy Press Conference that was scheduled, tonight.

Been telling my friends and family that the people around Biden have gotten used to running the country, and if the public vote in a new Dem, they'll lose the power.
Seems likes the donors are going to be choosing for them, instead.
Really seems unlikely Biden continues as a candidate. D's need to get persective that a warm body would do ok against Trump, as long as he or she can speak clearly, and communicate information effectively. Not being able to do so is really, really, a non starter to be considered the leader of the most powerful country in the world.

That is really an excellent point that more talking heads/pundits should be discussing.
They won't though because that seems to imply taking advantage of a vulnerable elder, and that's an exceptionally bad look.

You say a lot of things.
But credit where it's due, it's a great point no matter who is saying it.
