As a left leaning Independent I take no joy in announcing this, but it's time to face an unpleasant fact.

No matter if you love him or hate him, few will argue that Donald Trump was pretty good at getting his message out. His message frequently made peoples blood boil, but no one would accuse Trump of being camera shy. Unfortunately, Joe Biden's low key, plodding persona, and (less than) dynamic speeches have slowly eroded his popularity and poll numbers to dismal levels. It's no secret that Republicans will slam Biden, no matter what he does (even if he occasionally backs policies once supported by Trump) but now even swing voters are turning against Biden, and by extension, Democratic candidates. In today's political world where messaging is more important than policy, intellect, logic or even sanity, the Democrats need a new messenger, and badly. The one they now have is losing the message war. 😕

......And, Dems will slam Trump.
I have a physician friend who says it is clear that, there being many manifestations of Parkinson's, Biden persona, his actions, his voice, all of it, suggests some underlying problems. He says that the restricted way of walking, his short stick-like steps, could be due to drugs that he is on to keep him steady, drugs like Lexapro. But mixed with other drugs, his speech and slow mannerisms make it quite clear.

- and you can prove this conversation with your physician friend really happened, right? Judging by your many (less than) accurate posts, I can't help but be skeptical...

What would the new Democratic message look like? The Republican message is getting out but I don't know how you can run a counter offensive against the rhetorical equivalent of grade school children yelling 'I know you are but what am I' and running away. Never putting themselves in a position to be challenged. If you don't like the question, smear the reporter and walk off the stage (like Trump just did).

A hostile interview should be a requirement for a legislative position. Voters need to grow up. It's a tough world out there and nothing's getting fixed with temper tantrums and saucy sound bites.

It is just an opinion, McHill. Jesus. You are one of those 'source' guys. Take it easy. If I said I like lemonade more than raspberry-ade, would you want a 'link'? Look at the next video of Biden hobbling, and form your own opinion. Rest easy, McHill.
"Who told you that!?!?!?" Geez.

Ball = running the country
Man = physical and mental condition of a human

Play the ball, not the man. Look at what he does, not at his medication tray or his Cartier watch.
