"But lost in the hand wringing was Donald Trump’s usual bombastic litany of lies, hyperbole, bigotry, ignorance, and fear mongering. His performance demonstrated once again that he is a danger to democracy and unfit for office.”

“In fact, the debate about the debate is misplaced. The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump.”

    I’ve yet to hear a good criticism of Biden that isn’t also true of Trump. Yet the media rarely writes a headline like “Trump should drop out/resign/kill himself”

    Because he obviously won’t. He will pursue your freedoms, wealth and sanity until his dying breath.

        He has even said he is slowing down and can’t debate as well as used to. This doesn’t technically disqualify him, but it should be a huge red flag that he isn’t and wasn’t the best candidate. That’s the real problem.

          oh, no disagreement here-- but it’s either Biden or Cheeto Mussolini.

          i’m glad you’re not choosing that latter!

            I’m against Biden but I’ll vote for him if I have to. He should absolutely drop out of the race. He’s going to RBG us.

      Exactly.

      No one is talking about trump doing the selfless thing, because it’s not going to happen.

      But Biden is supposed to be better than trump.

      And unlike trump, Biden isn’t facing prison if he doesn’t personally win. He’s just trying to stop trump, but so are lots of other people. So shouldn’t we let the person with the best chances go?

      Like, if you had a game winning free throw, and any player can take it, are you putting Shaq up there or Michael Jordan?

      Like, Rudy is a great movie, and America loves to root for the underdog. But you don’t put him in on the last play of the Super Bowl.

      You put your best players in. And Biden and his team in the DNC are obviously not our best people. They can step aside now, or after they lose and let trump back in the White House.
