Where is Jeff to tell us what he thought of Joe's mental acuity tonight?

#4 -- Possibly less travel since they are both already closer to DC than AZ? Honestly I am not sure how these decisions get made.

"Our disagreement is over who's a better presidential candidate to lead America." -- #18

That cant possibly be our disagreement because I wasn't backing a pony in the race... ^_^ Pretty sure I have been clear that I would vote for Bernie if he got the nomination and encouraged all you Bernie guys to get out and pound the pavement in support of your choice, but to please suck it up and vote blue if he loses it fair and square. I literally have had no preference in the current crop of candidates. I liked Pete and Amy a ton better than Biden but realistically they were going nowhere.

That's why most of us are voting blue no matter who.
Getting Trump out is more important than trying to fix America.

I am glad to see you acknowledge that. You and I come no where near agreeing on politics as you are far too liberal for my tastes, but we agree that Trump needs to go, and the best way to do that is to work together.

I always use the F as the curse word. I will say that my mom originally thought LMBO was laughing my ----- off and I thought that was hilarious...

Goatman, there is no precedent for a POTUS like Trump. He was impeached and doesn't deny withholding aid for investigations. He is one of the most disliked presidents in recent history. People are angry and it's driving record numbers of voters to the polls. You could turn out right and he win, but it won't be the easy feat you seem to imply.

I am a woman, working for a man. If someone approached him and started making accusations and I attempted to end the conversation steering him away and he said "shush shush..." and continued to argue then that is his right. I did what I could to diffuse the situation but it wasnt what he wanted, whatever. It had nothing to do with my gender, it was more about our position. Now if it was vise versa and I was a man working for a woman, and the aide (man) told the candidate (woman) to shush and pulled them away from the confrontation, I would be all over it. You guys are looking for problems that dont exist.

Danni, he just cant help himself. He must be the center of attention, he is a narcissist and feeds off the adulation of his followers at these rallies. Make no mistake, this is absolutely a cult. My dad is sucked in and there is no reasoning with people like that.

#35 - No, he says it is still safe to meet in large groups and wont stop rallying (and shaking people's hands). Just an ostrich with its head in the sand...

#15 I get what you are saying and I am not quite counting Bernie out. I am emphasizing why "blue no matter who" should not be based on Biden's mental acuity to people like you that keep questioning it.

Oh please! That had nothing to do with her gender, she was trying to end the conversation and he had a right to speak out. Any reason to bash Biden though right guys?

FTA: "He should have a capable vice president ready to step in should it become necessary. He should have a strong chief of staff able to steer the flow of information, tasks and decisions to make the cognitive load on him as manageable as possible. He should have staff with the ability and willingness to be frank with him when his decisions are questionable or problematic. And he should have the self-awareness to understand his own weaknesses and make allowances for them, to constantly ask whether he knows what he needs to know, has understood each issue from all relevant angles and is making the best decisions.

Any president, younger or older, should have those things. And with the exception of a reasonably well-prepared vice president, Trump has none of them."

^^^^ This is why it doesn't matter to me, I will vote Biden unless I cannot stomach the VP which pretty much means anyone but Hilary Clinton. I trust Biden to select good people, stop the revolving door of the White House, and get business in order.

I honestly think that more is being made of Biden's problem than is really there. The article points out that Trump is just as bad if not worse. Discussing this is just feeding into Trumps plans as his campaign is pushing it.

I know you are asking someone else this time Jeff but I would pose the question to you a little differently.

Do you honestly believe that Biden in a noticeable mental decline is worse than an unchained and revengeful Trump? Who could Biden pick as VP that would alleviate your suffering mind about his mental acuity?

#108 | POSTED BY MADBOMBER

I will give Joe credit. I saw in another thread he was disagreeing with someone still saying Bernie was being screwed. He even went as far as to say it was irresponsible to say that until there was some evidence. It stood out to me because up until then he rubbed me wrong as someone that wouldn't accept a Bernie loss whether it was fair or not.

Would she scare them more than Harris or Abrams?

#10 although it is doubtful I would enjoy seeing him pick Warren. Heads would explode ^_^

I keep seeing people speculate that Biden will pick Hilary as VP. That would be a sure loss so I cannot imagine what would A) cause him to do so, and B) lead people to believe that he will.

#87 - guess we will have to see how many others agree with you. I feel that a vote for Joe in the General is a vote for a change whether we prefer Joe or not, we know exactly what we will get with Trump. We will have to agree to disagree on this point and I will hope that maybe you like the VP choice well enough to throw caution to the wind and back Biden. I dont doubt that Trumps second term would be a full reign of terror and revenge. It is who he is after all and he makes no excuses for it.

Essentially you are saying that if Biden has lost more than a step or two you would rather keep Trump another term. That is why we disagree. Even if Biden has slipped into the next dimension and his VP pretty much has the steer the ship, wouldn't that be better than an unchained Trump with nothing to lose?

#77 -- No, but neither is Trump. And as I said above: "We will definitely see more in the coming weeks, but even if Biden is slipping he is still my choice because I know that he will get rid of the grift and inept Trump toadies that are currently running things downhill."

I am not a Dem or a Rep, I am not voting for Biden because I love the guy, and he wasnt my first choice. I will be voting for him in order to get rid of people like Betsy DeVos and to keep the Supreme Court semi moderate. Our government needs balance in order to reign in ridiculous tax cuts and drunken spending.

With the sister/wife incident they were both next to him and he pointed to the wrong side, then corrected himself. That is not an uncommon mistake when you are not focused on who is next to you and certainly not as bad as Trump saying Melania really wanted to be there (but couldn't make it) when she was standing next to him. I see a lot of complaints for someone that admits they haven't watched a debate yet and is part of the reason you frustrate me. I am working on myself for that but find it hard to give you a pass because it feels partisan and I had thought better of you than that. The highlights are of course going to show what was the worst or the best depending one why it is highlighted and by whom. We will definitely see more in the coming weeks, but even if Biden is slipping he is still my choice because I know that he will get rid of the grift and inept Trump toadies that are currently running things downhill. Why is it that the GOP gets upset that Hunter 'didn't have the background to be on the board for Burisma' but don't care at all that Grenell has no background to be Intelligence Chief? And there are many more examples of the double standard. I also don't believe for a second that he had less spotlight on him in the crowded field. Trump was trying to dig up dirt on Biden and put direct focus on him.

I disagree Jeff, if Biden had handled it calmly we never would have heard about it. He stood up for himself in a way that got media attention. Like I said above, I dont like these tactics but it could work out for him in the way that Trump's stunts have been. It gets attention and as they say 'any publicity is good publicity' right?

#60 -- I had a tenant dump a bag of tile mortar in a basement toilet after they had been served an eviction, and they had allowed their kids to paint the entire downstairs they way they wanted. I have never seen so much purple and black paint in my life. It was extremely difficult to cover. We were not the property owners, but since he lives out of state we were property managers for several homes. It was just too much work and I will never own a rental because of the experiences over those 3 years. The damage that people carelessly inflict on a home is mind boggling.
