Biden fumbled horribly in the debate, but he’s still the incumbent, very well-known, done pretty well in his term, passed several bills and had already beaten Trump once. Ah, those were the days…

Are we really thinking of throwing all of those advantages away because Biden was kinda meh in a debate?

Now, let’s put aside how Republicans and the Media are going to cheer at how Trump beat Biden so badly in the debate that he was forced into retirement and how the Democrats were “propping” him up for years blah blah blah.

Let’s talk who could replace him. Who? Kamala or Whitmer, who Republicans would deride as another Hillary? The Governor of the a conservative’s personal nightmare, California? Buttigieg, facing the Republican anti-LGBTQ propaganda fest? Whoever the Hell “Kelly” is?

Every other feasible Democrat is either already a Republican boogeyman or completely unknown and will be steamrolled by Trump’s loud hate machine.

I’m not saying that he didn’t turn off a couple voters with his performance. But let Joe loose a little, get him talking with the voters, get him on a bike and show the voters that he’s still there. He’ll be able to recoup most of the votes.
