I don't understand. Assuming Biden wants to drop out, why in the world would he drop out after the last primary rather than now?

Why would Biden want to drop out?

How much is your mortgage worth?
I just think it's an easy way to pick a candidate without interference from all those meddlesome voters. His approval ratings are a liability whether anyone wants to admit it or not. Party leaders have to do something.

And I don't actually have a mortgage anymore. Paying off my house was one of the highlights of my life. 😉

Well, no wonder you were willing to bet your mortgage... :)

After watching this twice, this is more than mild cognitive impairment. This is at least moderately advanced dementia. No wonder his handlers are trying to keep him off the debate stage. When the presidential debates begin, after idiots vote for him in the primaries, he must debate, or face the onslaught by media and the public that he can't keep his thoughts organized enough do to it. Biden will make mincemeat of him because he can, contrary to propaganda, think. This speech is a roadmap to the way his mind works, or doesn't work, and it's scary. I'm hoping this is the end of a nightmare for the fate of democracy in this country. Dictator for a day, indeed...

I saw an interview with Elise Stefanik, they were asking her about Trump mixing up Pelosi with Halley in his speech.
Stefanik refused to give any ground, everything Trump said was perfectly fine…

It‘s almost like she was mocking us, defending what even she knew was indefensible.

She is completely trustworthy and her interpretation of others' speech can be believed 100% because she is honest.

LOL! Now it's "Don Demento." He now has a monkey on his back for the rest of the campaign. He'll have to defend his mental acuity from now on - and then, he has to debate Biden, can't dodge it anymore...
I don’t think Biden will debate him. Whether Trump is capable or not he will want to, maybe to his detriment. I could see Biden saying he’s not debating a criminal insurrectionist, he has a point, and that he won’t stand on the stage with a man that tries to steal elections.

I think you're dead wrong. I think Biden will jump at the chance, just as he did last time, when the Trumpers thought he must be taking PE drugs. If anyone tries to dodge a debate, it will be Trump, because his handlers are afraid to chance it...

The fact that we're discussing which octogenarian is less likely to want to avoid a debate to dodge mental decline claims is depressing;

Neither of these are the best options for a great country...
"we're" not discussing that idea. this is being "discussed" because of the absurd idea floated upthread that it's really biden who will be afraid to/won't debate trump.

like so often, it's sad projection

Yeah, no one is talking about the fact that the two choices voters are going to have are octogenarians, just a couple of us here on TF...

If you really think even one of these is the best option for leading the US forward then I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree - though it helps me better understand why we're where we are.
