The fundamental issue, quite aside from the flack constantly thrown towards WE, is whether his analysis is correct - "Biden's strengths are in building and then quietly leading an effective team". In this context, I think he is 100% right and Biden has demonstrated that ability time and again throughout his long career. His judgement is steady, he acts in the best interests of the US and wider world and, as WE points, "even in a care home he would be a better President than Trump could ever be" Where I slightly depart from WE is his view that Trump is a master orator. Nor for me - he simply peddles a lot of ill informed nonsense usually delivered in a child like/simplistic manner. There is no real or serious analysis of anything as he simply doesn't have the intellectual capability to do that. Equally, I think Biden will be the Democratic candidate (not a stalking horse for someone else) and he will win in 24.

For me the fundamental issue, regardless of whatever strengths or weaknesses they each may have, is that they're both too old.

We regularly hear from a particular poster that Biden will drop out and be replaced by a more electable option....whatever you think of that. I suppose it's possible but I doubt it personally, for several different reasons. However, here is Biden himself stating that he's running and not dropping out.

I also think Trump peddles nonsense but that he does it in a very effective way to the audience it is aimed at. A master is probably going too far but to my mind it’s his only strength. Time will tell if Biden will drop out but I think he will do whatever is required to avoid another Trump Presidency. It has to be every right thing American’s priority.

There are but there is, thank goodness, only one Trump and it’s his shadow which hangs over all of this. Biden said yesterday that it’s unlikely he would be running if Trump wasn’t. I think his hat is in the ring to draw the fire from the right wing media but there is a plan for next year which sees him withdraw. It all depends on Trump and what happens to him and the ratings after the cases are decided.

Don't be surprised if there is an attempt on Trump's life. I put nothing past these people....they would love it and rejoice.

I don’t read social media platforms for news let alone for gossip! The reason being it is full of this kind of garbage. I have more productive things to do and more reliable sources to use. Like reading gas regulation guides?

Of course, they have done the lone gunman thing too many times already so an 'accident' would be more likely, or even more probable, a 'heart attack'.

Unlikely in the short term as it would be hoped that his past will overtake his future before it might be thought necessary. If however he did win a second term I can well imagine there might be some who thought it was then. Whether that would translate into action is another matter. It might depend on who was VP. They could be as bad.
