    Clearly he’s got aides helping him do most stuff. That’s not unheard of for any political official, but I imagine he’s just going along with it like Reagan at the end of his term.

    When he’s by himself on a debate podium, you can see he’s not doing great.

    However, Trump is worse. They’re two old men and you can see Biden is a calm older man slowly slipping. Trump is mad at everyone and everything, refuses help, and requires everyone to be a sycophant around him to placate his ego. The only way people get what they want out of him is to steer the bull in the direction of the China shop they want destroyed. He’s an old man yelling at the TV, and we all have to hear him.

    That said, one of them can, will, and has done more damage than the other. That’s why I’d vote for Biden. The meme of “live Biden > dead Biden > dead Trump > live Trump” comes to mind.

      Those aren’t the only four options…

      If the DNC Americaned up and booted Biden, they can nominate a live and competent person, who would easily win by simply not being trump AND not being Biden.

        Ok, who?

        They’d need name recognition, money, and influence to catch up. Who do you think would be a good pick that seems interested in the job?

          They’d be a household name in 48 hours max.

          Unless Biden acts like a spoiled toddler, he’d hand over every penny. Even if he didn’t, most is in the BVF which is mostly controlled by the DNC. Lots of people, big and small, would donate to stop trump, that’s where a lot of Biden’s money is already coming from. Not being trump.

          What influence is needed?

          They have a pulse and arent named trump or Biden… That’s enough these days

          Who do you think would be a good pick that seems interested in the job?

          Anyone besides Hillary Clinton should be able to pull it off.

          But I don’t see the DNC appointing anyone but Kamala.

              And I downvoted you because that question has been asked so many times, it doesn’t contribute to any discussion.

              I don’t know why people care about votes tho.
