Obviously, I don't think he does, I don't think there is much argument on that point either.  I have yet to hear anyone defend Joe as being compos mentis, or even close. 

You'd have to be a complete partisan, or not paying any attention, to think he does.
You obviously haven't seen the Gov confab where Governor Joe Isuzu,  er Gov Walz says so w a straight face.

Yeah, they are clearly "complete partisans".  They are excused.  Even some partisans think he doesn't have it.

Vote for policy. Period.

I'd vote for Micky Mouse if I thought he could do a good job on things I care about.
If that is the standard then Joe Biden is competent to be president

You forgot the "things I care about" part.

Yup, a vegetable could be President if it's solely about policy being set by "underlings".   I'm actually not all that clear on the "policies" of either, they don't talk about it much beyond the usual soundbites.

Trump says "Drill baby drill" as a priority, and I find that idiotic twaddle if taken literally.  The same with "close the border".

By now I don't really expect anything thoughtful and sophisticated from either.

I glance at MSNBC when something like this happens as a bit of a cloudy window into how "liberals" are presenting stuff.

How did Biden do in his ABC interview? Why reaction was so mixed (msnbc.com)

It's not good, at all.

I'm starting to think he bails this week, for a Harris-Newsom ticket - not decided by the delegation at an open convention in Chicago but decided by the Democratic Elites. 

So typical.

Anyway, California "leadership" goes to Washington. 

What could go wrong?

Newsome as a VP would be a waste.  They'd need someone from one of the midwest states up for grabs.

They can’t both be from the same state.

Is that a rule or a norm?  Norms don't exist anymore.

It's in that Constitution thing, something I guess folks don't teach in school any more.  They actually can run, but they won't get electoral votes for both President and Vice President from their home state, which in the case of CA is a something.  It poses a weird risk of having the President and VP from different parties, as we did it way back in the day anyway.

Harris could say she lives in D.C. now.

This has happened before, they can "change residence", as Dick Cheney did with Bush.  She could register to vote in DC.  

But I agree that if she heads the ticket, she would need a VP from Michigan or something like that, probably not another female.

Nobody here seems to think Joe is of "sound mind", eh?  Do we all think a President should have a "sound mind", preferentially, as one of the top criteria?

Integrity would be up there, for me, along with some experience in getting things done.  These days, I care less about political leanings than those three things.  Congress generally limits excesses.  Remember the "public option" on Obamacare?  Lieberman said no.

I don't really have a sense of what will happen if Biden says he isn't running. The closest parallel I know about is Lyndon Johnson, and he announced in March and in a time where most states didn't choose candidates by primary. Ohio was already threatening to not have Biden on the ballot due to some timeline issues. Dems were going to have a virtual convention to get around that, though Ohio ended up passing a law to fix it, I think.
