A sleepy Joe is preferable to an awake Trump.

Harris would take over anyway and perhaps should be running for the main job, at least the "system" will be allowed to function no matter what Biden's energy levels unlike under The Donald, Biden looks healthy and in great shape for his age but yes I'd agree sometimes he does stumble over his words and lose his train of thought that is clear.

Wow

Beto O'Rourke's organization helped register about 200,000 Texas Democratic voters in an attempt to finish a political transformation of Texas that began with his Senate race.

Frankly, if Biden does have dementia (which I don't see much evidence of) its still preferable to the orange one isn't it ? I mean, invoke the 25th and Harris becomes Prez, problem solved.
Just don't suggest this as a possible outcome to a trumpette, the frothing as they think of a back door way of making a woman POTUS.

Again, despite what trump has done, it's not all about one person, but about the team. Biden is assembling a very experienced and capable team. trump sacked all his and replaced them with yes men and lackeys. It's why he's achieved nothing over 4 years, because his narcism means everything has to be seen to be done by trump, government of the people, for trump, by trump, for the good of trump only.

It's worth reflecting on quite how far American politics has sunk when you consider that, even if Biden has dementia (he doesn't) he would clearly be a better president than Trump purely because he would listen to people more qualified than him.

Furthermore, there is far more evidence that suggests Trump has a significant mental illness in the form of a mixed personality disorder (probably Narcissistic PD +- Antisocial PD) and that apparently doesn't disqualify him, so why discriminate?!

Well I was assuming a certain amount of common sense and decency, so probably rules out most of the trumpettes biggrin

I agree though, that Biden would have a capable team behind him though, he knows from being VP and 35+ years as a senator how the various offices and system work.

Trump I don't think actually understand how the various Government offices work, so he either decimates them or shuts them down completely, leaving him to just utter missives to his lackeys, just like ACB.

Bidet has well and truly shot himself in the foot this time. Talk about handing a victory over, gift wrapped and signed with a loving kiss. 4 more years of that clown Trump then. However, the old adage if ‘it’s the tail that wags the dog’ in U.S. politics holds true, except for the ‘executive orders’ problem.

You'd think you'd remember the name of the person you're running against but Biden thought it was "George" (presumably George Bush) not Donald Trump - I think that's his name? Then to make matters worse your wife has to remind you.

Oh dear.
I occasionally call my son the name of the dog and the dog the name of my son when on a rant about noise. OMG, I must be senile!

FFS.

It was a horrendous error. In a conversation between two old folks in a Florida old folks home, possibly understandable, but not at a rally for a presidential campaign.

Have you deliberately called him 'Bidet'?

Trump's campaign hoped to flood TV and radio through local media coverage of rallies, but instead negative coverage has dominated. Lots of articles about rallies that eschew health guidelines and news of people sickened by COVID afterward and disagreements with local officials.


The cash-hungry Trump campaign has turned to a cheaper strategy to try to remain on the airwaves, flooding TV and radio through local media bookings and back-to-back-to-back rallies.

But the gambit has been challenged by a trail of negative headlines that have followed the president: articles about rallies that eschew pandemic guidelines, news of people sickened by coronavirus afterward, spats with local officials that dominate regional coverage before and after a visit.
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/25/trump-tea...



The trouble is that CV-19 is dominating and trumps record on this is appalling. Remember trump raised over $1.6bn yet moved over $600m through companies to hide their destination, so has limited money to spend on advertising...

...hundreds of millions that have gone to alleged "pass-through" vendors that have been accused of masking the ultimate recipient of the money. A portion of those expenditures have been the subject of a Federal Election Commission complaint.
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trumps-team-spent-...


$56 million spent on campaign merchandise and donor gifts- those Maga hats signs and facemasks that the crowd behind trump are always given obviously don't come cheap

And the RNC have also been spending
Remember the RNC spent hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on purchasing Donald Trump Jr.'s two books, "Triggered" and "Liberal Privilege." to get it to number 1 in the book list,

More than $5 million of campaign cash has also gone to Trump's various hotels, resorts and other buildings over the last two years, according to the records. Just in the last four months, Trump Victory, which raises money from some of Trump's most generous donors spent nearly $900,000 at Trump-branded properties for facility rental and catering

Over the past two years, the Trump campaign, the RNC and the shared committees have spent $41 million on legal matters, including battling several big-name legal challenges such as special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation and the congressional impeachment proceedings.

"Trump declared his 2020 candidacy on his first day of office and has been raising money ever since," said Brendan Fischer, the director of federal reform at Campaign Legal Center, a Washington-based nonpartisan group. "But it is difficult to assess how the Trump campaign has burned through the money raised because it has disguised hundreds of millions of dollars of its spending."

American Made Media Consultants, which was set up and run by campaign leadership in 2018, is the single biggest recipient of the Trump reelection effort's money, receiving much of the massive advertising and paid media expenditures -- a whopping $453 million over the last two years, mostly for media placement and advertising, including $68 million in just the first two weeks of October.

Parscale's firm, in particular, was subject of a FEC complaint in July, accusing the Trump campaign of obscuring nearly $170 million worth of campaign spending over the last two years through so-called "pass through" vendors," including Parscale's firm.
