    The former vice president, 76, dismissed concerns over his series of campaign trail gaffes and jumbled statements...

    Last month, Biden raised eyebrows during a CNN town hall on LGBTQ issues where he spoke about “gay bathhouses” and “round-the-clock sex” when attempting highlight how conversations on homosexuality have evolved within the past 15 years.

    When addressing America’s slaveholding past at the third Democratic presidential debate in September, which some candidates have considered rectifying with modern-day reparations, Biden talked about the importance of keeping “the record player on at night” to “make sure that kids hear words.”

    Joe just doesn't seem like his head is in the game. Its gaffe after gaffe and many of them are cringe worthy. It makes his kid sniffing problem seem almost benign.

    Just today, Joe faced a wall during part of a speech (perhaps thinking a teleprompter would save him), and he called Iowa Ohio.

    And then Bernie, who just suffered a heart attack, went off into space at an NAACP event, where he failed to answer questions asked.

    Even leftist SNL went after Warren tonight...

    And Nancy Pelosi has called out these candidates...

    Nancy Pelosi Is Worried 2020 Candidates Are on Wrong Track
    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...is-worried-2020-candidates-are-on-wrong-track

    To recap-thats just today-after months on the trail and with months until the primary gets going.

    Some lefties seem content with electing people perhaps unfit with the hopes that their VP will take over and make things right. I don't think thats how Americans will respond.

    Moreover, these candidates, perhaps unfit for POTUS were still decades long public servants-I'd hate to see them tarnished with the cruel road to the White House.

    Trump is of course stronger than ever, and seems to actually enjoy watching the Democrat primary (as do I).

    Dems need to appreciate that their problems here won't go away because they say everything is fine.

    He might have the energy, but does he have the mental capacity. My Dad had Alzheimer's, many similarities to Biden.

    Alzheimers is very hard. I sometimes see it in Biden.

    Cognitive decline is not a normal part of aging.

    2 of the top 3 Dem candidates (Biden and Sanders) are too old. That leaves Warren by default. She cannot beat Trump.

    So who does that leave? Going by the polls, it looks to be Buttigieg. Get real. Perhaps Gabbard or Yang. They're both a little young-ish IMO, but both seem to be able to articulate their ideas without sounding nutty.

    Yang seems to have more of a following currently, especially among the young. Gabbard seems more like she has crossover appeal, but trouble getting the Dems behind her.

    The Dems should invest in their future candidates-but they dont.

    The old gray crook will be the nominee in my opinion .... she is frothing at the fang wanting to be president. Too bad she is the worst candidate ever. Unless Hillary in in gitmo by then.

    jesus … I see even Gay Pete has tied republican criminal trump in the latest 2020 general election poll (from Faux News, no less).

    Joe, Liz, and even Sanders are currently smashing the republican criminal.

    And things will likely get even worse for criminal trump as the impeachment inquiry moves into the public phase... :thumbsup: :flagus: :democrat:

    I hope she never runs but the me too crowd has figured out Bill is a rapist, and she was his enabler.

    Whats interesting to me is Boootgig still isn't polling well with southern blacks-and this from the party of diversity and tolerance no less.

    Biden may be the best chance dems have.

    Yup. Even feminists have been ignoring Bill for 3 decades.

    Why does Warren always have her hand in the air like an evangelical?

    And Southern blacks are the same as Northern blacks, what about the ones from the West or the East?
