My post above equally applies to this. Is losing one's train of thought a deal-breaker for you? Is it something that a US presidential candidate should be judged on?

A very fcuked up country.

Yup. As i said, it's not really a functioning country. John Oliver's latest piece, while obviously extremely left-leaning, makes some good points about America's institutions and how they don't represent the majority of the population:

Another clip where he calls yer wan John and then looks confused, someone pointed something out that I can't stop noticing, when he's blanking out he says "look" to try steady himself. It's all a bit weird tbh

In the grand scheme of things it pale into insignificance compared to all the horrors of the Trump regime, but it is a reminder not that it is needed that MSNBC are merely a DNC propaganda network ala Fox is with Trump.

Better hurry up and get all of your dodgy video folder posted before tomorrow night because come Wednesday, it'll be clear who the "sleepy" one is and it won't be Biden.

There's something just not right with him.

They are a corporate propaganda network that leans corporate Democrat more so IMHO. They have Republican anchors such as Nicole Wallace, Alex Witt and Joe Scarborough as well as numerous Republicans as regular contributors such as Michael Steel and Steve Schmidt. They certainly lean towards the corporate Democrats overall as a network but are nowhere near the level of fox which has played such a big role propaganda wise in the precipitous lurch of the Republican party towards being at best a semi-democratic far right party.

Ouch!!

After a reasonably steady run in recent times from his favourite pollster - Rasmussen , Trumps numbers fall off a cliff today.

9 point drop in Net approval rating in the figures today , from -2 to -11 - The lowest it's been in about 6/7 weeks.

48% say they "Strongly Disapprove" of him .

As far as I know the data published today would be from surveys done on Friday , so before the Tax information dropped over the week-end . Tomorrow could be interesting.

Thats fairly significant given it is from Rasmussen. These polls are well outside the margin of error of +/-3%, this is very bad news for Trump when a polling company who skews Republican is showing a 9% collapse.

They're doing the same now, putting in a safe establishment guy rather than some of the young gun populist left wingers, the AOCs etc. When they lose, they will blame everyone but themselves.

You need to be at least 35 to run for Pre sident, AOC is only 29 so she cannot run until 2028 at the earliest. In any case Americans prefer their presidents to be older, the average age is in their early 60s. Sometimes you get charismatic outliers like Obama (47) , JFK (42) and Clinton (46) but most elected Presidents have been older than the vast majority of the population. The oldest person ever elected as President is Donald Trump at 70 years, the second oldest was Ronald Reagan at 69 years.

You'd think Joe would not be sleepy after all the early finishes he's been taken recently. He'd better have the best performance of his entire career prepared (a career which has been quite a lengthy one at that). While Trump has been running the country and campaigning throughout states, Bidens been in his basement doing scripted interviews getting lost looking at his notes and getting pissy with his teleprompter. The expectations are so low for Biden, if he can complete sentences, he’ll gain votes.

It's worth noting that Reagans mental faculites were in trouble by his second term, which bodes ill for Trump and, frankly, terrible for Biden who is older than both Reagan and Trump were and seems to be already losing his grip

Made stuff having these lads running for president

Biden won't do a second term and will probably delegate like mad when in charge which is understandable.

If its Trump, I'd be doubtful of him lasting the four years, tbh most of the GOP donor class would be content with him been replaced by Pence for medical reasons.

Look at Pelosi and Mitch though, arguably the 4 most important people in politics and all near 80.

Yeah Trump has been running the country alright. Into the ground. Selfishly going around the country irresponsibly spreading covid at his embarassing rallies. He's a disgrace. The only reason expectations are low for Biden is thanks to the way Trump and the Republicans have portrayed him and their idiot supporters that lapped it up as fact. So it'll be their own fault when he performs well and gain votes.

Indeed - And that will be ENTIRELY Trumps fault.

He has overplayed the whole "Sleepy Joe" thing to such an extent that as you say , Biden just has to turn up and not drool for the win.

Biden will be much better than that as evidenced by his performances at the Convention and the townhall last week and that will compound the Trump campaign error.

Clearly they have realised this (far far too late) and are now pushing the "If he does well he must be on drugs" angle which is frankly pathetic.

They know that the attacks they have made on Biden are going to backfire and they are desperately trying to give themselves some cover.

Don't get me wrong - Biden will not be spectacular tonight , he'll be competent and well prepared nothing more , but compared to the version of Joe Biden that Trump et al have been claiming exists he will knock it out of the park.

I've got to honest , I'd view that as a positive.

Anyone who queues up for any length of time to hear a politician speak needs help in my view.

The relationship that some Trump supporters have with him is deeply unhealthy.

Travelling around to attend multiple rallies , queuing for hours/days to see him - That's not normal behaviour for a functioning adult , that's a cult.

People do it for singers, comedians, sports teams. Stand in a queue and pay to be entertained.

I think he's more like a stand up comedian. The left hates to admit it but he can be pretty hilarious when he's ripping the p*ss out of the media and liberal establishment.

he is as funny as tertiary syphilis. the intellectual level of a ten year old.

I disagree. Even if you look at the full video of his explanation of why he struggled to walk down the ramp recently. His explanation makes sense but the way he tells the story is really funny, clearly unrehearsed and just entertaining.

It's those things that will never make the news. The media will only ever show him at his most crass and basic. There is a little bit more to him than that.

I wouldn’t call it ripping piss. It’s more like a 10 year old school boy throwing insults in the playground. How grown adults can actually find his attitude funny is beyond me. And how he ever got voted into the most powerful position in the world is a frightening indictment of where humanity is at today.

Overlay the story he tells with a video of him on the ramp, where you may think it's 'funny', his version of events are clearly a fabrication.

People still think Jim Davidson is funny, so I'll leave that there

Given where he's from, I think the better analogy would be Andrew Dice Clay , but WAY less funny (and the Diceman was never funny).

Thin-skinned "Humour" based on cruelty ,misogyny and casual racism.

Although he doesn't drink, he's the guy in the corner in the pub rambling to himself that we would try to avoid before social media allowed people like Trump to sell their ramblings as the voice of the "silent majority". He's supposed to be a world leader. There's not an ounce of leadership qualities in him.

I liked the bit where he ran the last 10 feet I think it was he claimed. I’m sure he’s able to be funny occasionally but to think people are queuing for hours for the laughs is in itself laughable but it’s where we’re at now he’s funny.

I miss the old days when you could respect the President when he opened his mouth. They weren't trying to amuse their audiences. They were hopefully telling it like it is, instead of lying.

I don't remember any of them being laughed at during their address at the UN.

Or hugging the flag like a horny koala bear.

Yeah hugging the flag is terrible alright.

Coping a blow job from an intern whilst you are married in the oval office itself is great though.

I know which i respect more.
