Tornado Alley (PROG)

Agree it's a well planned and executed 'phony furor.' American conservatives are extremely well focused, with lots on money and muscle. Project 2025 speaks to that. and been a long term plan, and that the attempt to not relinquish power set in stone the far-right now status of the GOP. What is very interesting is the contradicting positions of Biden's mental state by people who have been close to him.

Yes, it’s true that Biden is old, and will be even older if he wins re-election and serves out a second term. I wish that Democrats had been able to settle on a consensus successor a year or two ago and that Biden had been able to step aside in that successor’s favor without setting off an intraparty free-for-all. But speculating about whether that could have happened is beside the point now. It didn’t happen, and Biden is going to be the Democratic nominee.

It’s also true that many voters think the president’s age is an issue. But there’s perception and there’s reality: As anyone who has recently spent time with Biden (and I have) can tell you, he is in full possession of his faculties — completely lucid and with excellent grasp of detail. Of course, most voters don’t get to see him up close, and it’s on Biden’s team to address that. And yes, he speaks quietly and a bit slowly, although this is in part because of his lifetime struggle with stuttering. He also, by the way, has a sense of humor, which I think is important.

Krugman has no iron in the fire, has always admitted when he wrong and to my mind is an honest, no bs guy. And i believe Biden today is the same guy who has been ranked 14th of 45 as against Trump's 45. Damn, i hope every voter is well aware of that. It's gotta mean something. The concern has to be mainly not about his ability to run the country but about his ability to win. As has been said in many places, it's not easy to counter tsunamis of lies when so many don't put much value on the the facts of any matter. As Krugman says that's up to Biden's team.
