Biden has made a tactical mistake on the debate stuff...

He's only giving himself one debate after Labor Day. And I'm worried that by then, he'll need more than one debate.

I am surprised Trump was dumb enough to accept the debates. He didn't need to do so. He could have just left the image of Biden being senile. Biden might do well against Trump again. He opened the door for Biden. I can see the need for later debates of course though.

Biden will likely beat Trump in the debates....

But he should have accepted 3 debates, not two, and had another debate in early October.

Maybe he will agree to 3 in the end. Right now it is 2.

If Trump is ahead after 2, there won't be a #3....

If Biden is only going to agree to two debates, he might want the first one in September, and the second one in October.

I thought it was because he shakes hands with the air and can only make it through a speech when he is hopped up on drugs.

The only poll that ultimately matters will be the one that unfolds in the weeks of voting prior to Nov 5th and Nov 5th.I don't think Biden can defeat Trump, but Trump is more than capable of defeating himself.

A huge reason Biden is currently doing poorly is because people are believing their non lying eyes and ears that Biden is not up to the task of being POTUS and if reelected will be in even worse shape over the next few years.

It's a shame that this is the choice most will make.

Both men should be rejected, Biden for not being capable and the country being run by shadowy nonelected figures pushing a much more left leaning agenda than anticipated under Biden and Trump for his antics after the election and dismissive attitude towards the Constitution.

About where I'm at.

I do think Trump's got a couple weaknesses people haven't yet really focused on. The first is that Trump, not Biden, is by a fair bit the more cognitively impaired - he's showing outright dementia, Biden just has problems with his memory and tends to glitch a fair bit. That's not the same at all. Donald is not the same guy he was in 2016, and that tends to show up especially in rallies. He's always been prone to word salad because frankly he's dumb and has difficulty clearly grasping or expressing concepts, and then is so narcissistic he tries to BS his way through it and ends up looking even dumber, but what really turned my head around is that what he's doing now isn't just word salad anymore, it's evolved into outright phonemic paraphasia - he's substituting similar-sounding words for other words. And what comes out is pure gibberish, and multiple times through his rallies you see confused and concerned-looking Trump crowds go silent and sort of start shuffling around uncomfortably. I've seen Alzheimer's up close - my grandmother died of it - and that's absolutely what it looks like to me. That's going to get harder and harder to hide the more the spotlight focuses on Trump the candidate and not Trump the defendant.

Donald's also at a massive monetary disadvantage, and he could also be a convicted felon by then. But it doesn't matter how bad his cognition is or how many convictions he has - he's not going to lose his base, which means he's not going to be replaced. Whereas Biden's just the horse various interests are riding - if he starts stumbling, the Dems will just do an open convention, put their heads together, and come up with a candidate they think can beat Trump. A moderate like Pete Buttigieg, for instance, would absolutely shred Donald in an open election, probably by as much as ten points.

Not sure I buy into the "Trump has dementia" talk.

I don't think he or Biden have dementia. They're both just going through normal aging, and at that age, it probably becomes harder and harder to have the stamina for the public appearances they are required to do.

I could be wrong, btw. But just my view on that.

Buttigieg is very sharp, and represents the administration well. He has the "gay" liability that would hurt him in an election. But there are worse choices than Buttigieg.

Unless he's been in a car crash or had a stroke he didn't admit to, dementia is by a fair bit the most likely cause of phonemic paraphasia.

Again, I've seen it up close more than I ever wanted to, and I've spent a lot of my adult life carefully watching my own speech patterns for some of the red-flag signs, because Alzheimer's runs in my family and I'm terrified of it.

Trump is showing clear and glaring red-flag signs.

Thanks for the article. I’m still in the fence about the debates. If Trump would be level headed and not obnoxious he would crush Biden. If.

I don't agree. I don't think Trump knows about issues or anything about the world. He is a one trick pony. He has to stay the same.
