Surely his wife and close circle take him aside and tell him to stand down for his own good. Still think the Dems could win with anyone not called Harris or Biden.

There's definitely a need for an intervention of some kind. He could surely have done the one term - main mission to beat Trump, save the nation etc, then do a few bits and bobs that aren't chaotic and have a handover plan in place. Absolute madness that he's decided to stick around for another go and that, seemingly, no-one close to him has pushed for a succession candidate.

He has generally done a good job (apart from his backing of Netanyahu). Time for somebody else to bring a strong stance of sanity against the madness of the convict Trump.

I actually felt sorry for him becasue obviously he's not a well man . The thing is though Biden is supposed to be the leader of the Western world and to think he has his finger on the nuclear button is bloody scary . The interesting thing now is what shenanigans are the Democrats going to pull to replace him . They make the law up as they go along so anything is possible .

They aren't particularly democratic, but both parties used to do contested conventions all the time, they then put someone in who still has their marbles and can say with a straight face look at how mentally infirm trump is. It's their only reasonable option at this stage, sticking with Biden is impossible.

Strange, given she is often touted as the one person who is actually worse than Biden in the public eye.

What if President Biden gets somebody to shoot Trump?

You mean somebody like BBC presenter David Aaronovitch?
