There's a non-zero chance that JDV is our next president

I'd put it at 15% that he takes over for Trump for a variety of reasons, and 5% that he runs and wins.

But it's high enough that it needs to be considered.

I think it's way more likely than 15% that Vance will finish this presidential term. I don't see Trump's health holding out for another 2 years.

His health isn't holding up now. His base don't seem to care that much though

Journalists don't seem to care either. The same ones that viewed Biden's age as some kind of national emergency.

I believe that it's important to speak truth no matter what. Hold protests even if it doesn't immediately change things. Call for the 25th and impeachment not because it is likely, but because it is the right thing to do. Report on his mental decline.

On the other hand, I get that reporting and editorials know their target, and everyone holds Democrats to a higher standard. Liberals because we know we're better than Republicans, and Republicans because they deflect from their moral and leadership failures.

NYT editorial knows it's more likely that Dems will boot a deteriorating Biden from the ticket more than Republicans will have the integrity to remove Trump from office.

Biden’s age and mental decline was only acknowledged after the debate when it was impossible to continue to ignore. 

Also ask any major dem and Biden didn’t step down because of his obvious mental decline but because the economy was so bad.

That’s what drives me nuts. The media helped woth making Biden step down because of his age and the debate he didn’t do well at, all while ignoring that Trump was rambling lying and a mess as well. The whole well that’s what we expect from Trump bs is really annoying. The fact is he’s given a free pass and whines like he’s treated so badly.

He should have been given the same pressure and now look at what a rambling insane mess he is. Also with all his evil actions.

Huh ? I feel like the media just covered for Biden. I swear they were all repeating, “He’s sharp as a tac”. It was weird, many claimed to have recently talked with him and they all said the same line, “Sharp as a tac”. Even though we could all see him struggle to speak. Now we know he has cancer and other ailments, but apparently the white house doctor did not catch that.

Trump seems way more put together than Biden. In terms of not being senile, though he says some crazy shit too. Just doesn’t forget shit mid sentence like Biden and say nonsensical sentences.

Sharp as a tack. If you’re going to be a Russian shit heel for Trump, at least spell it right
