He's not the greatest man for the job, but he is less likely than his opponents to surrender the country to its enemies.

Neither Mr Biden nor Mr Trump should be nominated by their respective political parties. We the People of the United States of America deserve better.

Even his own party realize he is too old and suffering from dementia. Less than half of the Democrats want him to run. This is truly embarrassing. They have had long enough to find a successor, They only have themselves to blame when we end up with 4 more years of Trump in the White House.

"Let's finish this job"

And what job is that - hastening the downfall of a great country? Expanding the war in Ukraine? Selling out the country to billionaires?

Whatever it is, no good will come of it.

"Let's finish this job"

Sounds more like let's collapse the US economy and way of life.

You guys still have some time before he will be reelected.

when Biden declared for the White House in 2019, promising to heal the “soul of the nation” amid the turbulent presidency of Donald Trump — a goal that has remained elusive.

And by design. Once again Americans are presented with the Hobson's Choice of supposed free and democratic elections.

Sad also to see Bernie Sanders has already endorsed Biden and encouraged other democratic socialists to do so as well.

If, as some contend, that it boils down to a choice of 2 evils, then I prefer to choose the guy who does not have a teenage crush on Vladimir Putin.

That's just plain nuts.

He’s too old, too moderate, too white. Yeah, we heard that before and then he went out and beat Trump like a rented mule.

The voters cant stand him. He’s too removed from the issues. He’s got dementia. And then Democrats added seats in the Senate and governorships. The vaunted Red Wave turned into an ungovernable 5 seat shart.

Inflation coming down. Gas prices? Down. Unemployment? 50 year low. Wages? Up Ukraine is still free.

His likely opponent is going to face 3, maybe 4 felony indictments by the end of the summer, is on (civil) trial for rape, and tried to overthrow the government.

The next likely one just enacted a 6 week ban on abortion, allows permitless carry of guns in public, lives in constant fear of gays, immigrants and “the other”. Oh, and he is as likeable as an STI.

One every single 70-30 (or greater) issue, he’s on the wrong side.

So, go Joe. He gaffs once in a while. But he is the man to put a stake in the heart of MAGA fascism that is a cancer on the nation.

And he is going to win.

I'm with Joe. He knows what is at stake.

Too old and in obvious decline but when you look at his most likely opponent, he’s clearly preferable.

Ah, just reminder to some folks here, it's not automatic that he gets the job. There's many other Dems who wanna replace him.

OH wait!

Stop the presses!

Like scared children hiding under the bed

Multiple GOP candidates ran against Trump in 2020, and they didn't hold debates either. We're they scared children?

The answer should be quite obvious: A party holding debates would seem to imply the incumbent is flawed, or unfit for office, and would negate any advantage the incumbent has. Any political party would be stupid to allow debates between incumbents in challengers at the presidential level.

For now, the 76-year-old Trump is the favorite to emerge as the Republican nominee

The favorite of both Repubs and Dems... Go for it Pubs - nominate the four-time Loser again...

But Trump faces significant hurdles of his own, including the designation of being the first former president to face criminal charges.

As in MULTIPLE criminal charges...

The remaining GOP field is volatile, with DeSantis emerging as an early alternative to Trump. DeSantis' stature is also in question, however, amid questions about his readiness to campaign outside of his increasingly Republican-leaning state.

Did you see DeSantis' reaction when asked about his latest polling yesterday here in Tokyo - it was beyond bizarre... he looked like he was channeling some Disney character - "Goofy"....

I have never been a fan of Joe and his wing of the Democratic Party, which to me is little different from the Republican Party of the 1970's, but Biden and his fellow moderate D's have helped stabilize the country after the aged nutjob that came before him mucked things up so severely.

Biden's done more for the US than any president of late, and all good. And that's even with all the GOP trying to stymy his every move (and failing). Proof of how the GOP has been accepted was their debacle in trying to reclaim the Senate and BARELY getting the House despite all the gerrymandering and Trump support (of course, we know it is BECAUSE of the Trump endorsements they lost the big races). bass4funk and others are just bitter and angry that they will hold their hands out to accept what Biden has given them, then turn around and blame him for it after claiming they got it themselves. And of course, against Trump Biden will win easily, as before, and that fact infuriates the GOP even more.

> Cheer more guns, less choice

More guns, I agree the Reps are for that.

Less choice?

No that is the democratic party and Biden, the goal is what you are seeing in Canada, freedom of speech now replaced by force speech, history replaced by feelings or erased.

Forcing the woke beliefs on children at a younger age and if a parent's beliefs do not fit with the new narrative, then investigate and threaten removal of the children.

Forced pronoun use, dubious racial theories forced on the public, math is Racist (funny oh that racist math doesn't affect Asians), equality is not good but equity is now the word of the day.

Racism is bad only if it affects Democrat voters, with the top Ivy League schools now officially blocking Asians because they are too good and Biden's nominees to lead the education sector all backed the blocking of Asian students (we are talking about American citizens Asians).

Chicago youth go on a rampage, the Democratic mayor says it isn't their fault it is the system, Biden administration openly backs this comment.

violence is so bad in Chicago, Portland, Burbank and other Democratic run cities that even Walmart and Target are pulling out yes folks Walmart were an overweight man in only flip flops and a thong with a parrot on his shoulder can go shopping and no one even bars and eyelash, is pulling out of these cities because they are too bad even for them. And war more war more war spending.

Goodluck America between Biden and Trump you have little good on the horizon.

I will stay here in Japan and hope the craziness passes and we avoid getting sucked in.

I am astounded that the Democrats failed to give there party faithful a choice of potential candidates.

Respectfully, Joe Biden has on a number of occasions displayed signs of age related cognitive impairment.

Yes, it will, and another Trump defeat.

-3 ( +4 / -7 )

If it's Trump, Biden wins in a romp. There is nobody who didn't vote for Trump in 20 who will vote for him in 24 because of the attempted coup that he orchestrated to overthrow the government in order to overturn the results of a free and fair election that he lost. The fact that he is likely to be a convicted felon on election day does him no favors. A speculative prediction, but I think a 7 million vote victory is the floor, not the ceiling on Biden's margin of victory.

If it is Rock-star Ronnie (Now, WITH spoons!) it will be a harder job, but ALL of the issues favor Biden. Abortion rights, Voting rights, Gay rights, Mass Gun violence, Racial Equality, Environment: 5 issues that hare seminal to women, minority voters and younger voters. Governor needs a spoon is on the wrong side on ALL of them.

Does Joe stumble on his words once in a while? Yep. Do people wish they had a different choice? Probably. But against the alternatives: A narcisstic sociopath and/or his mini-me, Joe is the clear choice.

He has gotten more accomplished in 2 years than Don did in 4 (or would have in 8). He is a fundamentally descent person. He is not the leader, nor the member of a cult.

It's a pretty obvious and simple choice.

> I thought you were all aboard the MAGA train. What happened

You can go back years here on my comments I disliked Trump and still do.

But how can you support Biden?

I will take a shot that you are ethically Asian.

Biden actively supports the blocking of Asian Americans students from being accepted into Ivy League universities because they out perform others or more precisely other "minority" (but also whites but that is ok for Dems), the Biden administration does this openly even placing those that were opposed to the challenges by Asian Americans to this discrimination ( lets be clear the reason Asians do better and would be far greater in numbers in Ivy League schools is because they study 4 times more than other minorities yes 4 times more).

And for this Biden is fine with penalizing them by blocking their education.

Why? Because they are not guaranteed Democrat party voters, but blacks are.

only 25% of all Asian Americans intend to vote for a Republican as opposed to 54% for a Democrat

Compared to.

Partisan identity: A large majority of Black registered voters either identify as Democrats (61%) or say they lean toward the Democratic Party (13%). About one in ten say they are Republicans (7%) or lean that way (4%). A further 13% of Black voters identify as independents or something else and say they don’t lean toward either the Democratic or Republican Party.

Again don't want Trump but is Biden any better?

Lets hope one of the parties find a better candidate.

-3 ( +5 / -8 )

If Trump is the Rep candidate, then the Dems could put lipstick on a pig and win, the Dem votes with the Anti Trump independents and Republicans will insure that.

Lets hope the Republicans find a better candidate.

“Look, I view myself as a bridge, not as anything else,”

Yeah, then he was a bridge out of the American carnage of Trump's idiocracy, but now he's a bridge to nowhere because, like many old men, he cannot admit the toll the years have taken on his body and mind and is rapidly becoming unfit for purpose, but the self-regarding career politician in him won't allow him to quit. Biden was never a man of principle like Bernie Sanders, but built his career by being a political weathervane, a fatal MO that has driven many working-class Americans into the unloving embrace of the MAGAGOP (that now doesn't know what to do with them all). Biden has fallen into the trap that the aphrodisiac of power lays for all mortals and mistakenly believes he has a tail wind whereas now he's just too old for the job.

“Watch me.”

The nation is watching and the majority can't stomach the thought of a Biden vs Trump rematch, two incoherent tired old men fiddling while the country burns.

Donald Trump “listening” to insiders urging him to make DeSantis his VC pick…

… sources say that “Some of his supporters are suggesting he make a deal with DeSantis to make him VP, and he’s listening, but hasn’t agreed.”

“Supporters say the VP offer [would] stop DeSantis from opposing [Trump] and offer a ‘youthful conservative vigor’ to the slot, which Biden doesn’t have.”

“DeSantis would also bring in big money to the campaign.”

But, “so far there’s no deal yet.” 

“DeSantis wants to raise money and test the waters, but what he really wants to do is run in 2028 after Trump wins or loses — with him or without him. It’s early days, but some donors are pushing for a partnership.”

One new poll on Tuesday reflected that 58 percent of potential Republican primary voters said they’d support Trump, while about 21 percent of the poll’s respondents said they’d pick DeSantis.

Again don't want Trump but is Biden any better?

I was raised to be proud of the US and the prosperity and freedom of speech we enjoy here. Our government, for all of its faults, insures these things. Furthermore, I was raised to believe that for 100 years we have fought the Russians and they are not to be trusted. All it took for me was the Helsinki Summit on July 16th, 2018, where Donald Trump openly endorsed the word of criminal over his own intelligence agencies, for me to realize that Trump is a Manchurian Candidate and will surrender to the enemy until there is nothing left to surrender. The choice has been clear ever since.

"Let's finish this job" ... of what? Of screwing up the country?

An NBC News poll found that 70% of Americans don't even want him to run again -- mostly due to his age. (I don't want him to run again either, but other reasons.)

So if 70% don't even want him to run again, and he goes on to "win the election" with "81 million votes" again, lots of people are going to raise some serious eyebrows. Very understandably.

Based - Just because some Dems prefer someone else to run doesn't mean we won't crawl over broken glass to ensure that the R's don't win. Biden was only like my third choice in the 2020 primaries, but of course I was going to vote for him against Trump.

 Furthermore, I was raised to believe that for 100 years we have fought the Russians and they are not to be trusted. All it took for me was the Helsinki Summit on July 16th, 2018, where Donald Trump openly endorsed the word of criminal over his own intelligence agencies, for me to realize that Trump is a Manchurian Candidate and will surrender to the enemy until there is nothing left to surrender. The choice has been clear ever since.

Most of us in US don't remember fighting for 100 years, including in WWII with Russia, that suffered enormously at the hands of the Germans.

Odd memory, maybe you were brainwashed?

Some of us think Trump wanted to avoid the WAR we have now, not surrender. So now we have Russia in China's corner, just how wells that going to work out?

Biden's not at fault, his 'handlers' got us to this point with Russia because of this anger expressed in this false email history above, pure bogus fantasy.

If Russia was such an enemy, why was the US so busy airlifting military support to them in WWII?

There is nothing, absolutely nothing, in America or in the world that isn't demonstrably worse since he became president. Not one thing.

And statistically, if he is re-elected, he's very likely to not even survive his second term at his age.

He's showing clear signs -- at least early signs, if not actually beyond that -- of mental and cognitive decline.

I saw it with one of my uncles. Within two years of even just the early signs of it, he was gone.

And then we'd end up with Kamala Harris as president -- and she's just a joke. She can't even string coherent sentences together when she speaks, and unlike her boss, she doesn't have age and dementia as an excuse.

If the Republicans can't beat this cognitively impaired geriatric patient whose administration has been one of the worst in recent history ... then they don't even deserve to exist as a party anymore.

Unless the Democrats cheat. (Should the word "again" be put at the end of that sentence?)

Under Biden it’s accelerated

Well, he surpassed Trump and we still have almost 2 years to go.

 At the end of fiscal year 2020, the debt was $26.9 trillion. Trump added $6.7 trillion to the debt between fiscal year 2017 and fiscal year 2020, a 33.1% increase, largely due to the effects of the coronavirus pandemic and 2020 recession.

   FY 2021: $1.5 trillion

   FY 2020: $4.2 trillion

   FY 2019: $1.2 trillion

   FY 2018: $1.3 trillion

Since Biden took office the national debt increased by $2.4 trillion. Poor bass.

Mistakes were made. We could have used those supplies to rescue all of Germany and more.

Most of us in US don't remember fighting for 100 years,

That's where learning history comes in.

including in WWII with Russia, that suffered enormously at the hands of the Germans. 

But not the MOST. That was Poland. Russia is not some super special country because they tagged along with the allies.

Some of us think Trump wanted to avoid the WAR we have now, not surrender. So now we have Russia in China's corner, just how wells that going to work out?

1) You don't listen to your enemy over your own intelligence services. 2) if you don't think Putin was planning this in 2018, I have a bridge to sell you.

Biden's not at fault, his 'handlers' got us to this point with Russia because of this anger expressed in this false email history above, pure bogus fantasy.

Nothing fantastical about it: Russia was evil empire in 1923 murdering anticommunists and is an evil empire today murdering Ukrainians.

An NBC News poll found that 70% of Americans don't even want him to run again -- mostly due to his age. (I don't want him to run again either, but other reasons.)

Pretty clear all the MAGA-faithful here are still addicted to Faux News, as we see the same debunked talking points over and over...

Amazing, when you consider the network openly lied to them and played them for fools, ridiculing them by feeding them fiction and fantasy because they believed they were too weak or too stupid to "handle the truth"...

Now the Fox network honchos dismissed their hero Tucker "Comrade" Carlson...who called his bosses "incompetent Liberals"....

Simplistic, but worth noting first half of 2022, ending in March this year, $1.3 trillion already, Govt. tax revenues (3%), spending +11% vs. prior year, trend's NOT GOOD

That's right, and so it was not Trump adding $6.7 trillion, it was largely because of bipartisan pandemic relief legislation; not the Republicans acting by themselves.

Jesus, Joe hardly knows where he is at, half the time. Let him retire and enjoy some fishing.

And have some ice-cream.

So much cope. Your twice impeached, disgraced, indicted, one-term former president is forever going to be remember as a stain on the Republican Party.

Even the Democrats don't want him.

In February the left headlines were " Dramatic shift majority of Democrats want Biden to run again."

Buried in the article was that still 40% didn't.

By March it was 45% of Democrats don't want him, by May it was 50%.

Now depending on the pole it is 55% to 62%. Of Democrats.

He has failed on the economy, war, poverty, violence, everything except his environmental agenda and special interest groups agendas these he clearly was far more concerned about.

People lined up at food banks not important, gangs on the streets, not important "miss understood minorities" opioid epidemic, not important, we need protection for illegals in the country and people that identify as cats and dogs, etc...

But don't worry uncle Joe will fall up the stairs 3 more times but make it on to Airforce one eventually.

Pretty clear all the MAGA-faithful here are still addicted to Faux News, as we see the same debunked talking points over and over

You are correct, but obviously they have the same disease as those that believed Don Lemon, etc...

I can't stand Tucker, his fake laugh was annoying as was the same fake laugh done by Dom Lemon and Rachel Maddow.

The whole MSM needs cleaning out , a return to independent journalism.

The Walter Cronkite and Barbara Walters in her mid career before she had to change to keep her job.

But no, we now have people lite Tucker, Hannity, Lemon, Maddow, Joy, woopy, all spewing fake news hate speech and partisan politics to a level of cancel culture on steroids.

If you follow up the 1st question of “Do you want him to run again?” (No, not really for a majority of respondents) with a second question “If the GQP nominated Trump, will you vote Biden?” The overwhelming answer from Democrats and independents is “Oh, HELL YES!”

When faced with a choice of Trump or “not Trump”, the electorate is going to choose “not Trump” by a large margin.

If the question becomes one of “Forced birth, anti-gay, book-banning, xenophobic bully, or the other guy?” “The other guy wins.

In both cases, Biden wins regardless of how many lies Faux rubes want to make up about his so-called cognitive decline.

Understood your Russian hatred runs DEEP.

For those of us without any skin in the Russian 'game', pretty easy for most of us to understand their country never wanted outsiders exerting undue influence.

Putin's reduced that unwanted outsider influence, that's the beef you have and why he's SO popular in Russia.

It's not difficult in reality, just opposing agendas, hence this current GLOBAL conflict, Biden's legacy!

“If voters let Biden ‘finish the job,’ inflation will continue to skyrocket, crime rates will rise, more fentanyl will cross our open borders, children will continue to be left behind, and American families will be worse off,” Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel said in a statement.
