The greatest mistake and undoing of the Republicans is to have allowed Trump to be in the race against all odds ,Trump stands a better chance of coasting home to electoral victory.
How is that a mistake? Please expatiate.

The racist Republican candidate and his core racist supporters, would have destroyed the world.

Verified criminal trump, would've done worse than Oga Joe Biden aka the wise one.

Criminal and borderline terrorist trump, yes - he is a terrorist for encouraging racists people to attack the USA Capitol building on Jan 6th 2021.

Trump has no economic skills if it's not a corrupt economics.

Trump has no knowledge of the role of USA the great, in relations to the world. The fool doesn't know that a detached America leadership, is an America on the same par as Russia;

If trump was in office during the Ukraine war, the unwise dunc^^e, would have given off Ukraine. In 2 years, Russia would have spread their meanest weapons around Ukraine, and then encouraged china to go take over Taiwan, while they get ready to take over poland and maybe Finland. You know, the forever president putinpucci, has no authoritarian limit for evil.


Trump would have made all the knowledgable European and even Asian countries, forget economics and start arming themselves with nukes.

Trump is just an unhealthy chaos, everyday drama. He will be worse than okp*lor eyes.

Trump might wake up one day and push for the reslavery of blacks outside Africa and the recolonization of black africa.


Trump is a failure and a liar, he was riding off Obama's economics success, until covid came and dented his reality.


For aloof africans, trump wants the resources by force, no diplomatic anything.

Trump would have encouraged Israel to really decimate the islamics in gaza. That is only where our interest aligns. But I understand joe Biden, he is humane, and very wise.

You know what is going on. Trump will win but he will rule for a short time before he is deleted. Then Obama is coming back into office in a special election that will be the beginning of the race/ civil war in America.

Democrats Urge Biden To Withdraw From Presidential Race After ‘Shocking’ Performance At Trump Debate

After Thursday's debate, where President Joe Biden faced challenges in his encounter with former President Donald Trump, his Republican opponent, some Democrats have started urging Biden to drop out of the presidential race, allowing the party to select an alternative candidate to run in his place.

As reported by NBC News, Democrats are concerned that the Biden who participated in the debate - a version that embodied the criticisms and caricatures leveled by Trump and his supporters, portraying him as unfit for office - will ultimately prove unelectable in the November elections.

"This was like a champion boxer who gets in the ring past his prime and needs his corner to throw in the towel," said a Democratic lawmaker, adding that he meant Biden should exit the race. If President Biden doesn't voluntarily step down, the possibilities for a replacement are scarce.

It would require a remarkable uprising among Democratic National Convention delegates, most of whom were elected on the condition of supporting Biden's nomination. However, some Democrats were indeed contemplating this scenario on Thursday night.

It's “time to talk about an open convention and a new Democratic nominee,” said a second Democratic lawmaker who has been a solid Biden supporter.

Despite desires for a replacement, many doubt the feasibility of replacing Biden, are uncertain about which alternative candidate could secure the party's nomination, and question whether a new candidate could defeat Trump in the November election.

Going into the debate, which was hosted by CNN, polls showed a close race between Biden and Trump.

“There is a sense of shock at how he came out at the beginning of this debate. How his voice sounded. He seemed a little disoriented. ... There are going to be discussions about whether he should continue,” David Axelrod, a top adviser to former President Barack Obama, said on CNN. “Only he can decide if he’s going to continue.”

Axelrod forecasted that Biden would be unlikely to withdraw from the race, citing his strong sense of pride and self-confidence.


Historically, the last instance of an eligible president opting out of a reelection bid was in 1968, when Lyndon Johnson, facing likely defeat in the Democratic primaries, decided not to pursue a second full term, a scenario that may hold relevance in the current political landscape.

Still, several Democrats predicted that calls for Biden to take the Johnson route would multiply in the coming days.

“The chatter of replacement is absolutely going to explode,” said a veteran Democratic strategist who has worked on presidential campaigns. “There is no coming back from this disaster.”

If Biden were to withdraw, it would trigger a potentially divisive and contentious struggle within the Democratic Party over whether to automatically promote Vice President Kamala Harris, who made history as the first Black and female vice president.

This conflict could fragment crucial voter bases at a time when unity is essential for the party's success. Despite this risk, some party strategists believe Biden's departure is necessary, even if it leads to a fierce intraparty battle.

"They need to change nomination now," a Democratic operative said. "Or just put Harris on top of the ticket."


A Democratic strategist with connections to Capitol Hill revealed that lawmakers are hesitant to openly urge Biden to drop out of the race, saying, "No one wants to be the first to do so." However, the strategist noted that many are discreetly reviewing Democratic National Committee rules and procedures.

While the strategist expressed personal admiration for Biden's accomplishments, including his handling of international conflicts, key appointments, and domestic policies, as well as his triumph over Trump in 2020, they believe it's essential for Biden to step aside and allow another candidate to take the reins.

"I am for the first time beginning to think calling for Biden to step aside isn't heretical; it's the only responsible thing to do," he said. "If we lose this election to Trump because we were too afraid to admit we were wrong about his age or too worried of an open convention, we can no longer call our party the defenders of democracy."


Several current and former Democratic elected officials opted to remain silent when asked about Biden's performance on Thursday night, choosing not to publicly comment on the matter.

One Democratic lawmaker jokingly replied, "The best thing I can do to help Joe Biden is to pretend I didn't get your text," indicating a desire to avoid publicly criticising or distancing themselves from the president

I'm shook by the Presidential debate outcome tbh. With all the latest advancements in regenerative medicine in the U.S., and elsewhere, I was expecting that Biden's medical team would have found a solution to his clearly age-related challenges by now so that robust debates can take place in the lead up to the Presidential elections.

Maybe Biden didn't do greatly, but I watched the debate, and my verdict is Biden stayed more focused on questions posed to him than did Trump!

on technical grounds, he was more attentive and answered intelligibly.
Trump on the other hand may have been better with oratorical skills, albeit most of his responses were (characteristically of him) quite invective.
He failed to answer most of the questions point-on!

Whatever the Dems are afraid of, I think it's away from Biden's personality but of the party's sub performance...and if I may say; of retribution.

Just take a look at Presidential debate, here in Nigeria our presidential candidates run from debate, don’t ask me which party , from 2014 till date the same party candidates has never 👎 attended any presidential debates in this country Nigeria, the results of their ruling is right in our eyes.
in 2015, Jonathan of PDP avoid debating Buhari. In 2019, Buhari of APC shy away from the presidential debate while in 2023 Tinubu of APC stay away from the debate while Atiku Abubakar of PDP in the last minute ditch the debate on learning that Tinubu who's his main opponent won't appear at the debate. So ditching the debate has always been the incumbent president either of APC or PDP avoiding being roasted at the debate due to their poor performance at the helm

The democrats are in a tight corner...

It seems whatever decision they take this time the odds are against them.

They would really need a massive upset this time to win this election!

Trump is the only reason Biden would win.

Majority of Americans do not have an option than to vote for Biden because of Trump.

The Republicans party has lost it. They attacking values that will make many go against them.

If it was the Republican Party of Bush or Reagan, Biden and the Democrats are cooked.

Only thing I don’t want is a 2nd Trump presidency. He was a disaster during his first term, and he organised a failed insurrection against his country on Jan 6 2021. He is also a convicted felon.

How can a convicted criminal be the overall commander-in-chief of all the law enforcement agencies in USA?

I’m an ordinary cop in USA going after drug cartels, killers, fraudsters, rapists, etc, and my overall head is a convicted felon and an insurrectionist?

I’m not for or against any party, but USA can’t have a criminal with little regard for laws as head. It will also embolden criminals and dictators across the world to seek higher offices.

Trump winning presidency again is the greatest disaster to happen world democracy. He's openly corrupt and has no respect for policies. He's just like the everyday Nigerian politician who would do anything to get richer. A president who would boldly call electoral officers asking them to change figures to his favor. A president who withheld aids already approved by the Senate just because the president of Ukraine refused to help him blackmail Biden who was then his opponent prior to the 2022 elections. A known racist. America will be in soup
