    The worst possible time would be this fall. Imagine if Biden had that debate performance a couple of weeks before election? At least if he drops out now he can be replaced. Problem is, if he stays in, what are the odds he’s going to have another episode of “jet lag” or a “cold” or whatever excuse they are using now? Unless they keep Biden in a bunker till November, chances are good he’s going to have another episode and freak out swing voters right before votes get cast.

      An episode is a random, one-time thing, though. Biden’s debate performance matches his past several years of behaviors perfectly. The fucker is 81 years old FFS, his age-related cognitive decline is well past the point of speculation. Let him rest FFS
