Biden's people will never let Uncle Joe Delusional anywhere near Chris Wallace. Chris will ask fair and tough questions and Uncle Joe answers will be about the Planet Pluto. He'll get ripped to shreds.

Biden will be kept in the cold basement to preserve him until he's forced to show up at the Convention. and that will probably be a disguised imposter.
Want a Potemkin Village President? With Biden you'd have one. The facade doesn't match the decay inside.

You have a serious problem, man.

MOR's name-calling is just as juvenile coming out of his mouth as it is when it comes out of Trump's. It's not helpful. Even less helpful, or illuminating, is his statement as to how Biden would do if he were interviewed by Wallace. The basis for his prediction is that Trump said it, you know the guy who actually was humiliated by Wallace and who has a track record of being wrong on just about everything.

Right. Trump was far from Erudite or lucid in that interview so the bar would seem to be pretty low for Biden.

I do want to see Biden grant some tough interviews, and I think it could go a long way toward dispelling with this fiction that he is senile. Joe Biden has never been much of an orator (IMO) so I don't think he will do particularly well in tough interviews and campaign speeches, but I don't think he is senile.

While the case could be made that Trump is a good orator, I don't think he does well when interviewed. Mostly because he is poorly prepared and lies almost constantly. The interview with Wallace was strange in that Trump and team seem to have actually prepared, however it didn't stop him from repeatedly making statements that were demonstrably false. I actually think he might believe his own narrative to the point where he might even be able to pass a polygraph test even when lying.

Why are BE schools so dumb? At least Xavier seems to still have some common sense.

The first question I’d ask is were any of the UConn student council candidates BIPOC?

Is name-calling juvenile when it comes out of your mouth....or just when it comes out of MOR's? Asking for some friends. I don't think that's a hill you want to die on, hoss. For someone who fancies himself an intellectual, you don't seem to have much self-awareness.

1. The dems are doing all the can to keep Biden away from the press and any appearances b/c it is very obvious his mental capacity is declining AND there is no reason to put him out there right now b/c Trump is doing a damn good job of making this pretty easy for them right now

2. Trump is, has been and will always be his own worst enemy. He just cant help himself. Has to be right, has to be the guy with all the answers. If he would just shut up and show some humility, he would likely win in November by a wide margin. Won't happen though. Really, really sad he cant control himself. I am 1000000% sure his advisors have coached him on this and the guy just cant help himself.

3. What a shit show and embarrassment our political leaders are. With that said, Trump is the only answer in November for me. No way I vote for a President that has a clearly declining health condition. Add to that, the dems have done next to nothing to address the radical left and their divisive socialistic agenda. I just don't get that. You clearly could pull some conservatives away from Trump if you had a much clearer more moderate agenda.

Somehow I think we'll all survive changing the names on some packages.

And somehow you want to equate that to people who suffered for hundreds of years and still have to work on voting rights?

I don't think I feel your pain. But I'm trying.

Who are all these people who have suffered for hundreds of years? I dont know of one person who has lived for hundreds of years. I'm really sick of the bs of blaming all ones problems on external factors, and not taking some personal responsibility. It's time to stop blaming ones life on something that happened over a hundred and fifty years ago

I agree with some of what you say. But you are a little cavalier in overlooking the challenges some minorities still face today.
Red lining isn't 150 years old. Closing polling places once the Voting Rights Acts lapsed (and the Senate refuses to take renewal up) isn't 150 years old.
