They'll either do that at the last minute, which is what I've predicted for months, or his VP will be the next president after he serves for a while.
I think that's the way it's going to go, so that's why it's taking so very long to select a VP. They made a grave error by announcing early on that the VP would be a woman of color.

That's too limiting for what this VP is expected to do - the field of choices needs to be wider than that.

Well, 'idiots' have the option of consulting with and believing those smarter than themselves. Village BS artists on the other hand are one-trick ponies and just continue their BSing ways.

I'm wondering if they expect citizenship issues with Harris (like they would with Duckworth) and that's the reason for the delay.

I suspect they're hung. Divided, as far as this choice. I do know they keep announcing that "Biden will make his choice . . .". He ain't making nothin' of the kind. This is the party leadership making this choice.

Maybe you're right, and it's citizenship issues.

I think he's fine. He's not struggling. He has a stutter and he's not a gifted public speaker, but there's more to being president than public speaking. He's not hidden, he's doing virtual events. There is a pandemic. He is older, as is Trump, and they are both at high risk. Neither of them should be attending public events. The future of our country depends on them making sound decisions one of which should be protecting themselves from covid. Clearly Biden takes the pandemic more seriously than Trump. Biden has agreed to debate. Trump has not. What does that say?

Joe probably should have just told that guy that he wasn't black.
That probably would have shut that reporter right up and made him stop asking all of those silly questions about cocaine and stuff.

Or....he will remove himself AFTER the election but before the Inauguration, thus allowing a black female to take up the mantle of president. The DNC knew she couldn’t win in a general, so this is the plan to essentially bypass voters’ wishes and install the person they are selecting based on having the desired race and gender.

He has a 45 year track record of being exactly that.

The heavily edited video shows more than enough to see just how vacant he has become. It is quite sad, and can happen to any of us. But why compound the tragedy by putting him in this position, and the entire country in this position. It is cruelty, on a national scale.

Go have a look thru the comment section of the video, you'll get the idea of what most people are thinking, thru their comments. However, It is the lack of comments in defense that tells the real story.

If they're looking for a lapdog, and I suspect you're right, I can see Harris going rogue on them.

This wouldn't surprise me either. Nothing would surprise or shock me at this point.

The evidence is clearly out there in all the videos of him speaking candidly and not via prepared remarks.

Plus he's obviously being hidden by his people.

Next up will be some excuse, most likely covid or Trump lying, to back out of the debates.
