Here's why some of us are worried about a Biden presidency:

(Yes, this is from a right-wing publication. And yes, publishing these kinds of pieces makes them more progressive on foreign policy than the zero-credibility Washington Post and New York Times.)

To be fair to Biden though, he likely doesn't actually know those advisors are or what they think. The guy is basically a rutabaga in a suit he has that little awareness of what's going on.

So any criticism actually lands on the Democrats establishment

So the Democrat plot to beat Trump is to run a candidate that Republicans like and Democrats can live with.

They should've just got Ben Carson.

Correct.

Biden is dementing and I have doubts he'll last four years if he's elected President. He'll also be the oldest president elected if he wins in November.

So Trump's trying to distract the public from the coronavirus by demonizing the BLM protestors. He's got no hope.

Trump is seriously deranged. He fair-dinkum can't tell the difference between TV ratings and elections.

He is walking the straight and narrow right now, since, that is, he sacked his incompetent campaign director and replaced him with a more-or-less sane person with relevant experience, but we all know how long Trump is capable of following instructions for.

Stand by for another Trump PR disaster, swiftly followed by yet another White House sacking.

Anybody's bet how far away it will be. I'll say four weeks, but it could be ten weeks. Or ten minutes.
