talkpoliticsSometimes there comes a painful day when you have to take the car keys away from grandpa even though he doesn't want to give them up. But how do you take away the keys to the country away in this situation? -
Biden has doubled-down on officially stating he will NOT be exiting the race. He is also bucking "the elites," which I find interesting. This contradicts rumors that he will be out this week. What does everyone think his chances are?
Biden firmly denounces calls to step aside from fellow Democrats: 'The voters have spoken'
The president said the voters have chosen him and dared Democratic “elites” who want him out to challenge him at the party’s convention next month.
Except that the voters really didn't speak. They weren't given an option. The idea that the Democrats held a primary is laughable, despite how many delegates Joe Biden received.
But fine, shrug... The Dem big money donors are the ones who call the shots. Not Biden or "the voters". We'll have to wait and see what they do. That said, the big money grifters are between a rock and a hard place. Him or her. Not much of a choice, really. They done shot themselves in the foot.

I don't think it matters at this point what Biden does, or what his medical records show, or what cognitive test he undergoes. I think most people have seen an elderly parent or grandparent decline as they age. Trying to fight against the idea that Biden is too old is like trying to stop a tidal wave or an earthquake. The instinct people have not to select a frail and infirm leader is too great an obstacle for Biden to overcome. Biden's campaign was over the moment his eyes glazed over at the debate.
