Harris will be President if Biden is unable to finish out his term. That is what you voted and was willing to accept when you voted for the Biden/Harris ticket right? What is so difficult about accepting that distinct possibility? Biden has dementia. So, it's really just a matter of how long the Democratic political system (news, media, politicians, political spokes people and strategists) and his personal handlers/decision makers are able to hide it from the public altogether and able spin it and weasel their way of not knowing or caring about it and so forth.

Not able to finish a term?  It seems Trump is failing more than than Biden might.  He failed to act on the recent Russian cyber attack.  He failed with a facial attack on democracy, which is more likely a scam to draw money from the base.  He failed to take action on the racist violence and systematic racism.  He seems more focused today on pardoning folks and denying the incoming administration information than running the country.  One theme in the blue press is that he is fighting to keep a job he is no longer interested in doing.

Then again, failing to change the status quo, allowing past injustices to continue, would be a Republican thing.  I’m not sure that ought to include the Russians, or encourage a con man administration, but the reds were all in favor.  A Buchanan or Hoover bad president seems part of the turnings?  You have to demonstrate the old values have failed to get people to accept the new?

I’m seeing Biden as bringing in a competent team that he is sill quite capable of coordinating.  If Reagan could do it, Biden can too.  I would as soon have seen someone younger in charge, but he was capable of uniting the Democrats and getting rid of Trump.  That’s the important thing.

I'm sure his team are as competent as his running mate. I'm sure that he has assembled the best that identity politics has to offer these days. They may not be the best that America has to offer, but they'll make do for a couple of years as country continues moving further apart and as groups begin to take advantage of having a weak president in office.
