As I am writing this President Biden is giving a press conference. Pundits are speculating that it....just this one event....could determine the future of his candidacy for a second term. I doubt that is really the case, but, then, the pundits are speculating wildly about the entire presidential debacle. And, it's getting old...very old.
For starters, they seem to think that their opinions should be accepted as being more informed and even 'wise'....but, for the most part, they are just opinions. I have a short-list of pundits whose judgement I respect, i.e. Maggie Habermann, Lisa Rubin, Ben Meiselas and most of the presenters on the MeidasTouch channel on YouTube. These few, along with a handful of others are worth listening to, but that doesn't mean they are more valid or wise than many others. The bottom-line is this: everybody has an opinion and in almost all cases it is the result of personal observations and feelings. There is not a single soul out there who is wiser and more informed than the rest of the thundering herd.
Joe Biden is struggling. That much is obvious. He claims that he's decided to stay in the race and nothing short of a personal visitation from God him/herself will dissuade him from doing so. Okay, as some have noted, why should he be eliminated based on the single event that was the disastrous debate? It was a terrible sight to see his blank-faced stare, mouth agape, and a sinking feeling that he was just out of it. In the aftermath, of course, we have been given various excuses for how this happened. He was exhausted, over-prepared, etc, etc.

But, the simple truth is: having seen Joe in that situation, one is unable to un-see him. He should never have been allowed to participate if he was so exhausted. So, now we have this ongoing crisis of confidence: can he beat Trump? He claims he's the only one who can. Meanwhile, others are positive that he can't and even that it would lead to a Trump landslide, which for those of us who clearly see who the Orange Idiot really is could possibly be the ultimate political and social nightmare for America. Another term in the Oval Office would almost certainly lead....to the destruction of American Democracy. Please look up a synopsis of Plan 2025 if you want to see the scope of Trump's plan to subjugate us. Yes, that is precisely what I mean; he intends to dominate America in the same manner as all the despots he so admires. Putin's at the top of his 'most admired' list.
It would be so easy to just dismiss that notion as hyperbole. But, the Idiot has spent endless hours at podiums and on his social medium, Truth Social, telling us in very clear language that he would indeed be the dictator that people fear he might become. By now, it's not a mystery--except to his MAGA sycophants--that Donny Boy is mentally ill, and deeply dysfunctional. He proves it every time he performs at one of his rallies. If one paid attention to his stream of insults, lies and non-sensical bullshit in the debate, they would have noticed that he was spewing the exact same lies...even using the same verbiage in some places...he spews at his rallies. He refused to answer any of the moderators' questions, instead choosing to do his verbal assault...on not just Biden, but, hell, everything.
By now, enough professionals in the psychiatric and psychological realm have come forward to try and explain the breadth and depth of Trump's mental illness. Some of these folks are at the top of their fields and all of them have felt it was their duty to warn us that this man is very sick...and, dangerous. His illness is not an excuse, but it is one of the primary driving factors that make him so dangerous. Along with a wide assortment of aberrant traits, is a healthy dose of sadism. He doesn't even try to hide the fact that he intends to seek retribution on those he perceives as his enemies. And, in his perverted mind, that means he can use the newly validated and nearly unlimited powers bestowed on him by a corrupt Supreme Court to have them arrested and executed for treason.
In a sicko dictator's mind, anybody who resists their will is both an enemy and a traitor...so, hell yes, let's shoot, hang or whatever them. Almost all dictators confuse their identities with the state. I.e., they think they ARE the state, and the state is an extension of their will. This has led to our centuries long history of people attacking and killing other people according to the will of a 'strong man' dictator.
So, here's the deal. If Joe decides it is more important for him to stay in the presidential race than it is to drop out....he is gambling that he can beat The Idiot. As tired and slow as he was at the debate, and with more and more people and Democratic politicians coming to the conclusion that this is NOT a gamble that would be prudent or wise...he's determined to do it anyway.
DON'T DO IT JOE. The price if you can't pull it off is WAY TOO HIGH.
