Another theory why Republicans are jumping on Joe Biden to step down:

[no_hypocrisy]

They KNOW how much TSF has declined mentally and physically.

As the saying goes, "A good defense is a good offense."

The Republicans and the RW media attack Joe Biden before everyone realizes how far gone TSF is. To distract and detract preemptively.

That being said, can't imagine TSF making his acceptance speech at the Republican Convention next week. It can go one of two ways: A) Just another campaign rally with a stream of distorted consciousness, or B) a train wreck that makes Joe Biden's debate performance look like a speech by FDR or JFK.

[BeyondGeography]

1. Or they see it as a way to keep the story alive now that Democrats are falling in line

I expect they’ll be recycling the worst of Biden from now until November, not least to deflect from the ongoing deterioration of their own candidate.

Should be a blast.

[Think. Again.]

2. I agree, if WE stop talking about Biden's health...

...and focus on how completely unworthy of the Presidency trump is, that will be half the Biden health chatter gone immediately.

[Think. Again.]

3. Where has trump been?

It's against his nature to stay out of the limelight.

There's a real possibility that he IS ill in some way, ill enough to keep him out of the publuc eye which us all he's ever lived for.

[themaguffin]

4. There's no need for him to interrupt the 24/7 media attack on Biden

[Think. Again.]

7. He would not stay away from cameras or crowds...

....unless being in the public would make him look bad, and even then he's been known to do it.

[Attilatheblond]

14. Crowds? They have dwindled to the point even Trump can't delude himself they are there

Personally, I figure his BIG EXTRAVAGANT CONVENTION APPEARANCE will be a taped video on big screens. He might be busy doing it over and over to get things right and that's why he's not been yammering and stammering of late.

[Think. Again.]

17. No, if he was planning on disappearing so he could make a splashy comeback...

...he would be on foxnews every day telling people how he's not around.

[tanyev]

9. No need, but he has previously seemed to have a pathological need

to insert himself into every single issue every single day, even when he was better served by staying quiet. It is odd that he would stay out of something like this.

[themaguffin]

10. Of course, but it is not odd that he would stay out of this, politically speaking

[Attilatheblond]

16. Yeah, but now he has to know if he loses, he goes to prison

Pretty good motivation to STFU and do what his handlers and lawyers tell him to do.

[themaguffin]

5. It's not about TFG. They media has been non stop on Biden. GQP will respond in whatever way that continues it

[no_hypocrisy]

6. Beg to differ. Could be both.

[themaguffin]

8. I would agree if this weren't such a basic opposition party tactic given the circumstances

[Think. Again.]

19. Actually, yes, this entire election is about...

...keeping trump away from any more power.

Have you seen his rap sheet???

[themaguffin]

20. Huh. What does your play have to do with my comment? My comment is in the context of the media bowel movement on Biden

[Think. Again.]

21. oh yeah, that, maybe talking about the dangers of a trump Presidency is more important?

[themaguffin]

23. yes, they absolutely should. That's a given.

[Think. Again.]

24. Yes, we all should.

[themaguffin]

26. Of course, but again, that's not the context of my reply

[Renew Deal]

11. I don't buy these 4D chess scenarios.

Also, why are Democrats calling on Biden to step down?

[shrike3]

12. Because Democrats typically roll up in a ball and say, "Please don't hurt me," when attacked?

[Renew Deal]

27. Nadler and Raskin are DINO's?

I don't think so.

[Renew Deal]

29. Go find the video of Nadler saying Biden should quit.

[FBaggins]

13. I haven't seen many republicans calling for him to step down

They're certainly "jumping on" whatever stain they can find... but far from calling for him to step down, they've either stayed out of the way to acted as though they want him to stay.

[Johonny]

15. Because most of them know, voters break

For the encumbant the vast majority of the time. That Trump has a narrow lead, or no lead and whatever lead he had in the winter clearly has been shrinking throughout the year isn't good for them.

Biden stepping down helps them and they know it.

[Think. Again.]

22. Even just all this pearl-clutching about just the idea of it is helping them.

[Wednesdays]

25. TCF's acceptance speech will be option "A." nt
