Trump has always been more vocal when he's actually threatened by someone/feels threatened in the polls.  Ever since the 2016 Republican primaries he's gone after the biggest threats and ignored the rest.  Biden did more damage to himself than Trump could have hoped to do with repeated attacks.  I don't think Trump is necessarily listening to others so much as he's knows he doesn't have to do anything unless Biden strings together a few weeks (at least) of coherent public appearances.  

"Never interrupt your opponent when he is making a mistake." 

Does seem too smart for Dotard though.

That was kind of covered by the whole "make it to inauguration day" thing.  If he doesn't win the election then it don't matter obviously.

I'd view it more as Trump's ego telling him he's so far above Biden he doesn't need to acknowledge his existence.  He can spend all his time doing the things he loves best, golf, food, and  grifting/talking about himself in front of his cult while he basks in their adulation.

Honestly, rewatching some clips today, if Biden's voice wasn't hoarse, I think it's less of a story. The hoarseness made him appear weaker and feeble, but if you have listened to any of his other speeches, his non-sick voice coupled with his talking points nobody was freaking out. 
He needs to go on this interview, put some bass in his voice, and be definitive and strong and energized. We got this.
I mean. The fate of the democracy hangs in the balance, I'm sure ABC powers that be knows this.

Not a single human being in this country will be swayed by a pre-recorded interview airing on a Friday night. Honestly baffling that many of the same people trying to downplay the importance of the debate are trying to hype up this nothing burger of an interview.

Maybe he died and we just don't know it yet.  That would be awesome.

In that case (which I agree with BTW), the polls won't move or he'll fall further behind Trump, which should lead to more calls from democrats for him to step aside coupled with more donors pulling their support from the presidential race and forcing his hand in the coming days.

Or his campaign team wants to run against Biden and is telling Trump to stay quiet and not say anything that might exacerbate the situation and help Joe decide to quit the race.

what if the dems did a 5head move.

Biden steps down as President, Kamala Harris is sworn in as President. Campaign finance rules stick because ticket is same so don't have to re-raise money and you get to keep the incumbent advantage because Kamala is actually president. 

Boom. The good guys win. 

And Harris is denied a VP, because house republicans refuse to vote to confirm her choice.  So, Mike Johnson is effectively Veep.

And that plays right into her and the Democrats hands because then the Republicans are standing in the way of a constitutionally mandated duty.

Biden doesn't have another 4 years, but I do think he's got another 2. As long as he can convince people he's got another 2 that's good enough. 

Biden just has to look like he doesn’t have dementia for 90 minutes in the next 4 months (last debate) and remains breathing until polls close. That’s the bar. That’s it. He doesn’t have to do shit else. They literally should be spending the next 2 months practicing for that debate and by practing I mean giving him steroids

I don’t give a fuck if he drops dead after the polls close

There's not going to be another debate. Trump has no reason to do another one where then all the risk goes back to him. He will say, "I don't think we should subject my opponent in his advanced age to another 90 minute debate".

I think that *was* the bar, and not only did he not clear it, he ran the wrong way on the approach and then face planted at the worst possible moment. 
 

If he wants to win, the bar is way, way higher than that now.   He's losing, and the strategy of hiding him from any moment where he'd have to think on his feet - that just confirms every worst narrative about his decline.  Hell, it confirms the worst-case scenario to me, and I think he's been a great president for the last four years.  
 

The insiders need to be telling him how stepping aside would be a heroic final political act (which it has a chance to be).

That was the bar. It's too late for that now.

If Joe Biden were up 5 or 6 points, holding onto him would make sense. He's losing right now, though. How on earth do people think he's going to make up ground by taking the occasional interview, praying he doesn't fuck everything up, and then hobbling on to the next one a few weeks later?

Denial is a helluva drug

Let me say this is clearly as I can:

I’m the nominee of the Democratic Party……. Medicare. 

I’m staying in the race.

It’s better for Biden and the democrats if Biden does poorly in today’s interview. It makes the decision easier.

I’m sure he’ll do alright overall, but he’s going to look very old and very tired.

Good call with the spray tan and losing the tie though.

Great. We're to the point of hoping our team loses so we go ahead and fire the coach.

Not that you're wrong. He'll be leading the Libertarians to a bowl game in a few years.

Anything other than the proverbial "home run" should make the decision easy.

And the "home run" does nothing more than buy him time until the next appearance where he'll need another one.

The biggest problem I’m seeing with Harris seems to be people not liking her stupid ass catchphrase. So if she stops trying to make fetch happen, what issues are left? I think she will be ruthless against him and she could be out there 24 seven pounding away at him while Biden can have his warm milk and be in bed by eight 

If you smelelelelel…what Kamala is cooking

The few minutes I saw on the 5:30 news looks better than the debate but not great. He agreed it was a bad night but pivoted and said that Trump was lying. Tonight isn’t about Trump, it’s about whether Biden is capable to remain even potentially whether he should finish his term.

to repeat an earlier post of mine, if Harris replaces biden as the candidate, Biden needs to resign from office immediately.

This is me. I’ve got three vacations in the next four months and half of football season. I’m going to try and enjoy it all as much as I can because the next several years could be fucking awful.

This is the crux of everything. Somehow in an election featuring Donald Trump, the other guy has become the focal point. It’s unacceptable.

This is the last years of Mack all over again.  Do we think there are better coaches/candidates out there?  Yes.  Could they fall flat on their face and get crushed in the election?  Yes.  But there's no fixing what Biden did by cratering in the debate.  He can't magically turn back the clock mentally just like Mack wasn't magically going to turn back the coaching/recruiting clock.

Absolutely this. The debate fallout within Democratic circles has been a media feeding frenzy; they'd clearly love to keep it going.

This has pissed me off a lot honestly. I get the whole Biden saga is big news but SCOTUS just minted the keys to a dictatorship for Donald Trump, who himself was a complete and total mess at the debate, and nary a word. Media is barely attempting to cover that though. The liberal mainstream media, everyone!

This election is like Mack trying to fool us with a bootleg version of McCoy-Shipley. We showed up for Colt and Jordan at the debate and we got Case and Jaxon instead. Dems are living in the past trying to make us believe the current Biden is the same Biden who was VP. Just because the jersey has the same last name on the back doesn’t mean it’s the same guy.

Saying that he passes cognitive tests every single day is not the flex Biden thinks it is. Why no follow up question about why he needs a daily cognitive test?
