What would Biden or Democrats do?

Of course I watched the presidential debate with Biden and Trump on Monday.

It was shocking. Biden has no ability to understand or speak.

As a result, I thought Biden would withdraw from the Democratic nomination.

During these past few days, a growing number of Democratic leaders are saying they want him to step aside for the good of the party – and the country.

A Democrat said,

Once Lyndon Johnson made the painful decision to withdraw. President Biden should do the same.

Another House Democratic lawmaker said,

there’s a large and increasing group of House Democrats concerned about the president’s candidacy.

According to CNN,

Quite a few Democratic lawmakers were deeply concerned about  Biden’s ability to win.

They will be increasingly vocal about their concerns if Biden doesn’t.”

However Biden has taken no steps to seriously consider the mounting concerns.

Many sources told CNN,

Biden has not reached out to Democratic Party leaders himself to reassure them or to get feedback. That’s astounding.

And Biden and his inner circle seem to think they could overcome this failure.

But actually, the debate performance has so shaken Democrats.

There has been a growing appreciation for the anger and concern many Democrats have expressed.

A new CBS/YouGov poll conducted after the debate found that 72% of registered voters now believe that Biden does not have the mental and cognitive health to serve as president. 

Only 28% of voters said Biden should be running for president. Some 46% of Democratic registered voters thought he should not be.

However Some Democratic officials say,

they’re terrified by nearly every scenario: 

Going forward with Biden, a Kamala Harris nomination, a nomination of someone else. 

Even party stalwarts,former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said 

“ Just sit there and be Joe,” during an interview on MSNBC on Tuesday.

“ Show your values, show your knowledge, show your judgment.”

I guess,

Biden himself, his aides, his party officials, party stalwarts, all of them lack the ability to consider and  judge about their own country and the world.

What a deplorable situation !
