2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.

Featured Replies

I’m turning back to ridin with Biden again. I have a nephew with a stutter problem and he’s smart as shit, but sometimes flubs his answers on the spot. He has certain things that trigger it more than others like calling his name to speak unprepared . If you don’t say his name he’s better at handling it. Joe here seems to have a trigger about stepping down.

Will you be able to deal with Putin and Xi three years from now?

Yes. Next question.

Don't you have some Trump rally video to re-watch?

Regardless of how mush mouthed it is at times, he's talking about real issues, very complex issues, and how its being addressed. That's the difference that should matter.

"Should"....yeah, but it wont. With our populace he'd have better luck promising to fund 3 hours nightly of "Ouch My Balls" on network TV. 

Kamala needs to be a major part of the campaign trail and the media needs to cover it with more vigor.

He's still at the "the Old Joe is still in there" phase of dementia. It's sad, but I'm glad Old Joe is still around even if it's part time.

You’ve made your mind up and are seeing what you want to see. He’s doing fine and giving long, detailed answers about complex issues. Swing and a miss on your part.

He definitely sounds better than the debate

It seems like he's purposefully trying to seem sharp.  It's OK, but a bit self-conscious.

After this the Dems either need to get behind him 100% or come at him 100%. It’s not going to be half speak word salad half measures. Dems on the Hill and all pundits need to frt the message. It’s no half measures. Be 100% united which just has to be the case. He’s not stepping down.

I agree, meaning it doesn't matter who the top of the ticket is, too many people don't give a shit about actual issues.

Nobody begrudges him the stutter or the word flubs. Even calling someone by the wrong name can be explained. It was the answers that go nowhere and trailing off that killed him at the debate, along with generally looking pale, frail, and slack jawed. Much better on all those fronts tonight. 

Oh, boy, does this NPR gal have an agenda or not?

I think it's harder for him to deal with the stutter now. He searches for a new word to use, and loses his train of thought. I think that happened a handful of times during the debate. 

When is Trump going to do one of these press conferences?

After this, he’s in 100%. It would have to have been another debate debacle for him to be really called to step down. But he’s doing ok. So, let’s Go Joe!

Word retrieval (which happens to us all) issues compound with age. You search for a word. You can’t find it. You lose the entire thread. 

so far he’s done well tonite. 
 

I just want the bleeding to stop either way. 100%. No more off message shit from people on the beltway. They either back him 💯 or they come at him. Or they can all shut the fuck up.

She was in North Carolina today. I saw a chunk of that speech. Also saw her in Las Vegas the other day. She’s been getting more exposure since Dobbs and it looks to me like she’s getting more since the debate now too

I'm running an experiment which is listening this on the radio instead of watching live to see if it affects how I feel. It was doing better until he took questions. 

And now I'm on the other end. It's easier to listen to this and not feel as worried. He is stuttering as he always does but he's getting to the point eventually. He's not dodging questions.

The problem is the fucksticks in Biden’s inner circle probably now consider her the main threat to his reelection

Biden wasn’t supposed to ask this guy and he asked about his ability to run and Biden stutters answering, I think that shows he’s better at answering but this are you weak questioning his causing the majority of flubs and he’s not young enough to fight back always.

That alcohol got a little Biden in me talk good

One question, jesus fuck, move on.

I don't want a weak footed President

The foreign press doesn’t seem to think so.

Saying "I don't need a neurological exam" is like starting your hype video with, "We're not weird "

If you've ever had to say it..............

He gets himself in trouble by talking too much. Get out while the getting is good.  

And now abandons the Ukraine question. Sit down dumbass.

Creepy low talking Joe will always be weird to me.

I notice him catching himself a lot, which is good. My guess is that's how he's been training more recently.

Joe did totally fine tonight outside of the small flubs. I respect that he kept on going (including adding that extra reporter when he initially made a mistake) and didn't cut it short at all. 

Whether that's good news or not for the future of his candidacy remains to be seen. I'm not hopeful. 

 

 

 

 

I don't think this helped very much.

Better than the debate, sure, but he'd have had to shit himself to do worse.  This was a little better, but I don't think a single person saw this and said, "Okay, I feel better."

We're in a lot of trouble.

I didn't listen, but it seems like anything between a disaster and a home run is basically worst case scenario.

This. Love the guy, but that is always so cringy.

Joy Reid is really amped.  She loves him.

He cut himself off during a primary debate in 2020 when his time was up.
