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

[Mike Nelson]

21. My concern with this...

...idea, while a good one, is that the conservative media will get their several seconds of "old Biden" and simply run with a fake impression. I could get many seconds of Sean Hannity stumbling over words and make him look like he's losing his mind. You could do that with almost anyone...

This press conference idea should have to have a build-up... insuring a big audience that could see the whole event.

... so, I would play it up as a Presidential prime-time address. Say nothing about the topic. The media would assume Biden is announcing his retirement. However, he could really say, "I know Americans have questions about my fitness for office." Next, he could reveal he's going down to the WH press room, where he will answer every question. After about an hour (go over an hour, as that will be noted), give a short conclusion, similar to the one given at his rally after the debate.
