Biden spent most of his life seeking this position. Too bad he isn't there to enjoy it.

Biden will put Beto in charge of collecting people's rifles.

This issue is not a close call. If you watch Trump talk without notes he can recall places and figures much, much better than Biden can. Biden cannot speak unscripted for ten minutes. Trump was sharper when he was younger but Biden has failed more. Now somebody could do some editing and make him look good. However, I really believe it is obvious to all that have made the effort to find and listen to Biden unscripted he has failed too much. A Biden supporter is stressed as Biden speaks, helping him finish his sentences is not relaxing.  And it will get worse, fast. There will be a count down as he deteriorates, like the Iran hostage crisis, but after another mangled sentence, "Day 59, is this the worst yet?"

I doubt it, so you don't know do you?  

I would love to see that wooden head bobble doll up against Trump in a debate. 

The moderator would ask Biden to explain his position on the Obama-Iran deal and this would be Biden's response:

"C'mon man, wanna' do some push-ups"?  

The guy is a sad sack and he's getting dumber by the day.  
It is one thing to see a president FINISH with a deteriorating mental state. It is quite another to see a president START with a deteriorating mental state.

Grossly incorrect use of language and inability to complete coherent thoughts is a lot more than a stutter. Biden supporters should look at the 2012 debate he had with Ryan. It was a different Biden.
He does better early in the day. By late afternoon he has trouble. His staff will need to schedule anything important early in the day.

CNN, NYT, Politico, and others could have saved themselves a lot of trouble if they had just asked Rod.
"Miraculous comeback"
"Most astonishing since Truman in 1948"
"Stunning Super Tuesday"
Rod knew better than their political writers!

Maybe Biden was telling the truth when he claimed to know little of his family selling him out to make millions.
Who could keep track of so many details? Why should he even be surprised at all that a son with no experience and a drug problem could make so many millions? It isn't that unusual, is it?

Don't feel alone though, now that Biden is leading, the GOP in congress are ramping up the "Burisma investigations". Didn't get enough of the multiple Benghazi investigations? You know, the ones that cost millions and uncovered zilch on Hillary. But why bother, you've already made up your mind, just like you did when you said Biden was toast...
The press did count him out and Biden insisted he did not talk to his son about the job. The Biden investigation will be small compared to the investigation the Dems have been working on and are you saying you have not made up your mind?

How's Wuhan World Going In Your State?

Posted By Mel Maki

One of the docs on Trump's team described it as new and emerging and not predictable. They are taking a middle of the road position that mostly agrees with other nations. If the virus runs it's course in the US and  a million people have died will Trump's ratings crash? Stay about the same? Some will be relieved that more did not die.

Edit: The death rate compared to other nations could be the biggest factor.

Trump Warned By US Intel In January

Yep, if only Biden would have been in the White House, let's just say he doesn't miss much, with the record player playing and all.

Other presidents also played hardball politics.
