It's all felt like external pressure to me. Trump's team knows it's hard for him to beat Biden, so it's all about undermining him in any way they can.
He's old, feeble, sundowning, has Parkinson's, has cancer, constantly forgetting things.
And in the debate? He answered every question in detail and got like two details wrong, while his opponent doubled down on comments that have gotten him impeached and in legal trouble.
But no, let's talk about the stuttering man who was a little hoarse, and demand his replacement with nobody. After all, they don't want to push a narrative that defines the replacement candidate, this is all about undermining the opposition.
And if you, reader, think you're in the crowd of amplifying that, fuck you.
Lol...wtf...Trump is up 9 points. He's going to wipe the floor with Biden. On top of that, if the D's DO run Biden, they might very well lose Congress due to pure apathy and disgust of having to vote for Biden.
Once again, instead of doing the hard thing the Democrats are going to fail in the face of mediocre adversity.
Political polling means very little.
