In reply to the discussion: If Biden can't ace an hour long unscripted press conference, yes he should leave the race [View all]Azathoth
(4,677 posts)The whole reason we're at this crisis point is because Biden's team have been lying to us for the past two years and very carefully guarding him and his public appearances. They managed to keep him shielded well enough that many of us, even those of us who quietly harbored suspicions about his health and would have preferred to see a younger candidate take the reigns, we able to dismiss the right-wing attacks on him as ridiculous slander where simple mistakes by an 80-year-old man were turned into fake evidence he was a vegetable.
But the cat is out of the bag now. He clearly does have some level of cognitive decline, and medically that only goes one way, even if the progression varies from one person to the next. There's absolutely no way his team is gonna subject him to an hour-long unscripted press conference. Right now, they're likely trying to figure out how to get him out of doing the second debate should he actually be the nominee.
