So we let the rich donors run the party now?

26. Hiding it... not really

but not talking about it... yes.

It has been reported by some "hack" named Carl Bernstein that Joe starting having issues in senior staff meetings 6 months ago... with some 20 episodes of Joe "forgetting what is going on" and stopping mid sentence. I don't know exactly how this manifested, you would have to get some of his senior staff to spill the beans. I would guess that Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer would have been aware of this. And probably some others as well. His debate performance was not a one off. Not to mention that undecideds and even anti-trumpers who are not democrats were reportedly (again, I don't have the internal polling information) not willing to pull the lever for "that old guy".

I love Joe. I contributed to his campaign in 2008, and again in 2020. I was so happy that Obama picked him as his VP.

But... I love Nancy too. And I don't think she has ANY nefarious motivation to ask Joe to step down. They have simply worked too long together and Nancy, more than anyone, hates Trump. ( come on, tearing up Trump's written SOTU address in his face and on camera for the nation to see was a baller move ).

Hiding Joe's declining condition... no, but not talking about it or exposing it, sure.

Wouldn't be the first time that this is happened. ( you don't see too many photos of FDR in a wheel chair, and how many photos of JFK with his many mistresses do you see in the history books??? ).

And if you want to see hiding a President's condition... Woodrow Wilson? Ronald Reagan??? That was really hiding the fact that we did not really have a President for years at the end of their terms.
