15. I think when people say decline they mean different things.

Was Joe the same debater who took apart Paul Ryan in 2012? - Obviously not.
Was Joe as physically fit in 2024 as he was in 2012? Ditto.

Was Joe up to be job of POTUS. I have no reason to believe he was not. President Biden was more competent on his worst day, than Krasnov is on any day.

This is not really what the argument is about. It.s whether Joe Biden was up to the job of running again. That is what his inner circle is accused of screwing up. The Biden of 2020 could have won 2024 election. The Biden of 2024 could not win in 2024, not after the debate. That's what decline means to me.

Agreed, 2024 debate WAS bad. But compare ANY of Joe's hesitancy to ANY of Taco's demented babble before or after. Dock_Yard May 30 #13
