    I'm actually intrigued by what happens if Biden wins, and displays as much mental deficit over four years in the public eye as I suspect he will, will he become the first incumbent not to get the opportunity to run for re-election? Would the Dems be forced to run someone else? Reagan was pretty shot by the end, but in 84 for re-election still was cogent (as I recall), but it was also a different time. A president wasn't forward facing the nation on a near daily basis the way he is now.

    The VP is important here

    I do think the internet view that Biden is literally brain dead is way over-blown and exaggerated, but 77 is old af...he'd be 81 entering his 2nd term, yeah that's dementia age

    I too have a morbid curiosity about a Biden presidency.

    Call me crazy, but I don't think Biden has any intention of running for a second term if he wins. I think he and the DNC understand that there are too many issues critical to the Dems agenda on which he has an openly shitty record. He can't be the party leader for the next decade convincingly under those conditions. I know he said otherwise in 2018 but he has to say that because if he wins he's basically a lame duck president right out of the gate and a one-and-done announcement probably tanks Democrats down the ticket.

    Agreed. He's not running for a second term. The VP pick is extra crucial this year.

    Hard to vote for him when he's not out on the campaign trail, pandemic or not.


    He's too busy staying in his basement telling Black people that if they don't vote for him, they ain't Black.
    And Trump is still losing. One term Donnie

    Biden is nothing but a figurehead. If he were to win which is EXTREMELY doubtful, he would resign soon after taking office putting his VP nominee in the oval office. The man simply is not working on all cylinders. I actually feel somewhat sorry for him as I see my father-in-law starting to go through dementia. There is a reason they will keep the Coronapocolypse narrative going through November which is to keep Biden out of the spotlight and off the debate stage where his illness would shine through.

    will it be the most impressive one though if it doesn't since he is playing opponent + global media?

    Aww man

    How are the 1-0 Trump supporters who've benefited from his presidency the last four years ever going to deal with this? The 0-1 Hilary voters sure got us this time!

    So many people wrong in 2016, and now so many people wrong in 2020.
