I don't see this causing anyone to change their vote as most as voting against a candidate, rather than for either one. This is such an embarrassment

I had forgotten about that but realized when you asked for the link. Thanks for keeping me in check.Thanks but that wasn’t the reason why I wanted the link. It was just to make sure that as a forum we were not infringing any copyright laws.
I don't think that is going to happen. From what I hear, the GOP think Trump gives them the best chance.I didn’t watch the debate,but out of interest, are there any names being suggested to who could replace Biden or Trump ?
Yes, you're right, here's the link although it will likely be partly or entirely paywalled (I am a subscriber)Just read that the New York Times, in its editorial column, has asked Biden to withdraw. That sounds quite serious to me, as the NYT is a longstanding, heavyweight and 'moderate' Democrat institution, if I understand correctly.
As more public criticism is directed at Biden, from his own camp, the more it hurts his chances of winning. Not that his chances of winning were great to start with, of course. At some point, though, it could reach a point where he simply needs to do a reality check and make the only sensible choice.
Yes, and to be fair, the answer could turn out to be that none of them would poll better than Biden. The Democrats have got themselves into a pickle.But this is all still leaves the question as to what democrat would poll better against Trump - you kind of need a contest that puts 3-4 of them, perhaps including Biden, in the public eye and then see what the polls say on a head to head for each of them against Trump
