What prominent Democrat figures exist and have enough visibility and panache to beat a populist candidate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's definitely not the "best", but he's the only one anyone even knows about the existence of, other than Harris, who is a disaster. Which is likely why he's been kept around, but the effort would've been better spent pushing a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cringe-inducing gaffe's every time he makes a speech. Karine Jean-Pierre's attempts to cover for him are almost futile. And the creepy head-sniffing 👀 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can the party allow this? He won't be the candidate, but there are other issues in play here. Don't forget he's the current serving president, so if he's deemed at this stage unable to stand in November, then it's effectively an admission that he's unfit to be president now. Which obviously has ramifications. It's all about the timetabling. Trump is going to end up being the doddery old codger in this contest.

It's quite funny watching elements of the American press saying 'Why did nobody tell us he'd got this bad?' when they've spent the last few years covering up for him. They've got themselves in quite the predicament 🤨 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
