I will end my days thoughts by hijacking my own thread with a political prediction: (which is allowed on this forum)
Joe Biden will drop out of the race Tomorow or Tuesday at the latest. He is huddled with his family at Camp David currently and I believe they will come to that conclusion, despite the denials of the past day or two. And if they don't come to that conclusion, new polls to be released Monday and Tuesday will further "Shove" them to that decision.
And it isn't just the debate performance the other night. Biden's fairly rapid decline has been on view for about a year. The walk, the talk, or forgetting what he was saying. ect. One of the more alarming episodes to me was him wandering off during the Dday celebration in France. the excuse his campaign came up with was he wanted to greet a 95 year old Veteran he had spotted nearby. that is fine. Do so after the ceremony. he wondered off like a lost child.
Decline in older folks is a fact of life that many of us, know someone that has or is going through. Not to pick on anyone, but I am sure some on this forum are going through as well.
Biden managed to pull himself together and give a strong state of the union speech. I am talking about the delivery, not necessarily the content. That lead some in the democratic leadership to falsely believe he could muster though when they HAD to know better. HAD to know he wasn't up to it. And now it has blown up in their face.
The only question in my mind, is what will they do with Kamala Harris? She isn't going to take kindly to being jumped over by a white man. And that will erode Black support unless they pick a black and or woman for the new VP position. I hope to god they don't come up with Michele Obama trying to smooth that over.
And there is no guarantee how things will play out if such a move is made, as I suspect. Parties that are divided at their convention, which this could lead to, usually don't fair to well in the general election. It is going to be interesting, for those of us that are political junkies.
Add on: as I wrote this statement, a new poll was released showing increased concern. There is going to be many more to follow. https://www.yahoo.com/news/poll-show...161435808.html
