from what I read he used kid gloves on Joe and went after the Dems trying to end Joe's campaign

and discord in the party

a little sympathy for Joe

I guess I'll have to read up on it. We only watched for 5, maybe 10 minutes.

This did not age well.

He was very much on the attack last night at his rally in Doral.
He says stuff at his rallies, but the media attention is MOSTLY on Joe, and DJT is letting that happen without going out with his own interviews for example.

The convention is very soon so that will change.

This is not a thread about Donald Trump, but he's been very quiet lately.
One hand, I’ve already stated my thoughts on the place of any of these people here.

but if we’re diving down this road, the lack of discussion about the soon to be president strikes me as a sign that concerns about mental capacity are… a bit hollow.

From the NYT:


  • Democratic Senate candidates are running well ahead of Biden in every swing state with a Senate race. In Wisconsin, for example, a post-debate poll by AARP found Senator Tammy Baldwin leading her Republican challenger by five points even as Biden trailed Trump by six points. This pattern suggests that voters are more dissatisfied with Biden personally than with his party and that a different nominee might fare better.
  • Brandon Friedman, a former Obama administration staff member, pointed out on social media that these results also suggest the polls are not skewed against Democrats. Biden supporters sometimes point to Harry Truman’s 1948 comeback victory as inspiration. But Truman won partly because the polls were misleading and underestimated overall Democratic support that year. (Here’s a closer look at polling misses, from 2020.)
  • Polls continue to suggest that Biden’s age is a central reason for the dissatisfaction with him. In a recent Wall Street Journal survey, 80 percent of voters said he was too old for a second term — similar to the findings of polls by CBS News and The Times.
It's not his AGE, in my view, it's his mental acuity.

Exactly. Trump has nothing to gain from attacking Biden right now.

Think of the Democrats like a group of siblings. Siblings can be absolutely SAVAGE to each other. But when someone from outside tries to mess with one of them, they close ranks and fight the outside threat.

Right now Biden is being attacked by fellow Democrats. If Trump gets involved, the Democrats might start fighting against Trump instead of attacking Biden. And then it makes Trump look like [even more of] a bully. Which is a card Trump WILL eventually play IMHO, but there's no need to play it right now.

Just got an NYT update that Pelosi said Biden should reconsider staying in the race.  She wouldn't say that without reading a lot of leave of tea.

This looks like a train wreck in slow motion.

I think the internal pressure is only going to increase from here until he drops out, but doesn't resign.  He should give some speech that portrays himself as some great statesman dropping out for the good of the country, and the country will be in great hands with KH in charge, as opposed to that great opponent of democracy.

Why Biden needs to take Trump out of his re-election effort (msnbc.com)

Pretty damning.
On the bright side, if you have no policy to enact, at least you're not gonna screw things up even worse.  I'd take that as a positive.

OK. Good luck. This is just all talk. And "he's" not going to increase taxes on his wealthy donor base.

As for his future aims, buried on the second page were three bullet points explaining a handful of things he planned to do if he wins a second term: ban assault weapons; cap insulin costs; and increase taxes on billionaires. The rest of the note returned to talking about the fight against Trump and the importance of mobilizing for November.

As I note often, income tax rates usually mean almost nothing to billionaires.  This would be an increase in marginal income tax rates on higher income folks, and not really that much of an increase.
