If Biden can't ace an hour long unscripted press conference, yes he should leave the race

[Tom Rinaldo]

18. Don't be so adverse to real discussion

We here do not determine the nations mood. Nor are we introducing this matter into public debate. I did not trash Joe Biden. I made a suggestion. Personally I think Biden could well handle the press conference I suggested. It seems you think so also. If we are correct it would help not only Biden's campaign, but Democrats down ticket also.

And if Biden does not hold a press conference the national media will not lambast him for ducking a challenge from me on Democratic Underground to do so.

For the record, if I was a nationally known Democratic leader I would defend him staying in the race, until the moment he decided to withdraw, IF that moment ever came. Whether or not I might conceivable advise him to withdraw would be a private matter between us alone. Biden's first term in office left him (or anyone who might theoretically replace him) with a strong record for Democrats to run on, against a man who is a threat not only to our own democracy but to the world.

Like I said in my OP, this will be my only commentary on Biden remaining a candidate.
