I am staying out of the argument, but simply stating that if one feels that Biden is not competent, they can't use stuttering as one of the reasons, and it appears that Prestonyte is not using stuttering as a reason. Good.

RFK, Jr. Anyone else think he sounds a lot like his uncle when he's speaking.
But yeah they won't run him because they won't be able to control his narrative.
Agree. Although he is a Dem deep in his soul, he has some ideas they would not like or support which are somewhat libertarian/conservative. And because he is a Dem deep in his soul, he could not get the support of the conservatives afraid of those Dem roots. It's a strange thought I've heard others suggest, but he might make a good running mate for Trump (and they are very good friends).
You are right. Stuttering was a poor choice of words. Stumbling over his words is a much clearer picture of his actions.
Biden's only real hope for reelection is if he is running against Trump. The left's hatred of Trump is the only thing that will get them out to vote for Biden.
I'd vote for RFK Jr over Mitt Romney or Lindsey Graham.
Not really. His only hope is more election shenanigans. Without it, he would have gotten waxed in 2020.
EDIT: Also, nobody is going to turn Rs out like Trump. Doesn't matter who the opponent is, if they run elections the way they did in 2020 it's a moot point.
Correct, it's all about the voting system and mechanics at the local level which Dems control and GOP needs to get in gear to correct. Not about voter turnout anymore!
DJ if you believe the Russian hoax is true(and just why did Hilary delete 30,000 emails), that the Hunter laptop stuff isn`t real, and that the only way to get the real story is to watch Fox instead of the true liars in the media, and that Biden is anywhere close to Trump in terms of mental status, then I`m afraid there is no hope for you. You believe the lying Adam Schiff, the sleeping-with-the-enemy Eric Swallwell? DOJ arrests parents at school board meetings but not people harassing/threatening our Supreme Court judges. Maybe read American Marxism by Mark Levin if you really want to know what`s going on in our country - but you probably will continue to deny. Dems lie all the time - the border is open, crime is a figment of your imagination, the Inflation "Reduction" Act reduces inflation(yeah right), we should allow mutilation(and some states do) of a mixed up 12 yo who needs mental help instead of hormones and surgery, that inflation was going to be "transient," etc. Biden promised to "have the most transparent administration," instead has the least, bragged that he would "reach across the aisle," no he wants to spend as much as he can to buy votes and ultimately bankrupt the country. And the pathetic Biden preaches about "democracy" - he has probably forgotten what that means. Trump was America first, Biden is America last. I could go on all night.
I'm surprised you guys think Trump did well in that CNN Town Hall. He spouted numerous lies and shows an inability of understanding the truth.
I guess a fact-check is needed for Trumpers who believe all his lies. CNN filled that room with all Republicans and "Uncommitted voters" (all of whom voted for him previously?). Looks like CNN was trying to get many Trump followers to watch them instead of the now-exposed liars over at Fox News.

Shame on Trump for suggesting U.S. House Republicans let our nation go into DEFAULT on paying its bills (to cover his deep tax cuts for the rich).
See this chart showing how Trump increased the deficit by more than all other Presidents combined! Sadly, most Republicans do not realize this.

Lies, damned lies and statistics!
Very much like the manipulated unemployment and inflation rates published routinely.

Do you really think the data coming from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis was manipulated? The national deficit numbers are not disputed.
Trump & the GOP love to blame inflation on Biden, when Trump's comrade (Boss due to Kompromat?) Putin starting a war and the global COVID-19 pandemic (to which Trump totally bungled our national response, costing hundreds of thousands of unnecessary USA deaths) had a MUCH bigger impact. Trump had to lie about gas prices too. Again, Putin invading Ukraine caused gas prices to rise more than anything Biden did to cause it.
Just like the so called government unemployment and inflation rates are not manipulated, you think.
Wrong. The USA can do better! We should have better choices than 2 octogenarians who, sadly, are BOTH showing some mental impairments.
Here's a miscue that blew my mind. Trump saying, on the 4th of July no less, that the 1776 American Revolutionary Army "took over the airports". WHAT? Did Trump write that himself? How in the world was that not caught by his speech writers? Somebody on his staff should've caught it!
President Trump Said Revolutionary War Troops 'Took Over the Airports' in His Fourth of July Speech
Trump has some balls to claim he could stop the war in Ukraine in one day. NO WAY! Unless, he decided to let Putin have whatever he wanted.
Putin's leverage on Trump is still clear to this day. Why can't he even say he wants Ukraine & Democracy to win? Why doesn't he agree Putin is a WAR CRIMINAL? I'll bet 99% of the world population (outside of China & Russia) disagrees with him on that. You can tell, (like Tucker Carlson) he is pulling for PUTIN! How shameful is THAT? Trump always warns about the Radical Left. But, it's the Radical Right crazies committing mass murder because of racism.
We need politicians who can negotiate & get things done! Not ones who put their political party ahead of serving their country the best they can!

As a moderate who has often split his ticket, I will throw out 3 names for Republicans to consider: Asa Hutchinson (declared), Chris Christie (non-declared) and Chris Sununu (non-declared and much more likeable than his old man).
He probably meant seaports but how many more times have you said the word airport than seaport? I can see it slipping out. But blows your mind. Got it.
Very abrasive personality, kind of like one of our former Head Football coaches who will go nameless.
By the way regarding the topic starting this thread: I have never been a fan of that or any other monarchy. But one thing that Harry said that makes me really dislike, even more so, the British monarchy is: William did not like the fact that Harry wanted to marry an American. William can FO as far as I'm concerned.
I'm an Independent who votes for the best candidates regardless of their party. Due to Trump's influence, the GOP is essentially in shambles now.
Let me give my 2 cents on those 3...
First of all, FORGET Asa Richardson! He was the corrupt leader of the DEA who is just dumb enough to Triple-down on the FAILED War on Drugs. Under his watch and supervision, when DEA agents stationed in Colombia have their "retirement parties", they indulge in FREE (bought actually) Hookers & piles of cocaine along with weed and booze. These "anything goes" parties had been going on for years and he never stopped that.
Chris Christie has got the guts to call out Trump for his numerous lies, I'll give him that. But "bridge gate" (deliberately blocking busy bridge lanes and causing a HUGE ongoing traffic problem as political retribution to a NJ town mayor for simply not endorsing him as Governor) and him closing the NJ beaches to everyone (except for him and his family) will haunt him. Still, he should be ranked higher in the polls than he is now.
Chris Sununu was written off by many because he was a staunch prohibitionist who blocked a cannabis legalization bill last year. Keep in mind, New Hampshire is completely surrounded by states where cannabis is LEGAL for adults age 21+. It was ironic the "Live Free or Die" state didn't live up to its name. But, surprise, Sununu just changed his mind! He realized (unlike many Republicans) he was on the wrong side of this issue.
Governor Chris Sununu Statement on Marijuana Legalization
Read about Chris Sununu admitting his "thinking has evolved" in regard to cannabis legalization. Many SC Republicans should do the same thing!
Not that Clinton budget surplus lie again.
Throw in the notion that Obama running double the defecits of Bush was somehow a "reduction", and you have typical political nonsense.
At some poi t, people will realize they are being trolled.
So, you think Republicans will finally realize they have been trolled by Trump's LIES? I'm not so sure. But,the smarter ones are finally waking up now...
All the
Exactly which politician doesn’t lie? Sad part is twice as many lies are told about him than he says.

I have never made any secret of my dislike for Trump. Never voted for him and never will. I mentioned 3 alternatives above, each of which, in my opinion, would have the potential to become great Presidents, especially Sununu. Not sure, but a phone poll I received not long ago asked who I would support in the Republican primary. I responded Sununu. (even though I receive a lot of literature from DeSantis). Shortly after I saw a polling outfit's polling results and saw that Sununu got one vote in the state and wondered if that was me. LOL. I really like Sununu a lot. Regardless, I believe candidates like Sununu, Christie and Hutchinson would appeal to centrists like me and thus have a better chance of winning.
He’s a hard no on the legalization of cannabis, that’s a hard no from me.
Whoa there, I never said that! Sorry, but nobody is a bigger liar than Trump.
No. Same thing.
Again, I am advocating neither for nor against Biden. I'm simply stating that he has had speech issues over the decades. Stumbling/stuttering over works has nothing to do with competency or lack thereof.

Biden, who promised to unite the country, spoke at another graduation and said that "white supremacy" is our greatest threat. Not China, not being on the edge of economic disaster(and by the way they could have solved it last year before the Republicans took the House but didn`t do a thing), not inflation, crime, whatever. Hapless Joe is the most pathetic President in our history. He has divided the country more than anyone could have dreamed of. And Kamala is speaking at West Point ? Is that for real or another cruel joke?
Good for you! Only about 5% of Americans want to keep woefully outdated cannabis laws that were based on Jim Crow 1.0 racism in place as is.
Traditionally, Republicans are supposed to be for "More personal freedom" along with "Less government regulation". But, when it comes to cannabis, they publicly want the EXACT Opposite! Why is that? Is it the curse of Richard Nixon's racist views (caught on tape & transcribed for everyone to read later)? Remember what Nixon's closest advisor John Ehrlichman later admitted in an actual quote about the dirty tricks behind the drug war:
“You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin. And then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities,” Ehrlichman said. “We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”
CNN actually researched this to see if that quote was real or just an urban legend that had been passed on as the truth (when it was convenient):
2016 Report: Aide says Nixon’s war on drugs targeted blacks, hippies
To his credit, Trump legalized hemp nationwide. If he supported medical cannabis (as he implied he'd do during the 2016 campaign) during his term, he might have become popular enough to be re-elected. But, instead of keeping his campaign promise, he installed a noted hard-core prohibitionist Jeff Sessions as his Attorney General (as a political favor for Sessions being the first sitting US Senator to endorse Trump for 2016).
If Trump had better advisors (and decided to end the wasteful Federal government war on weed), the 93% of Americans now in favor of medical cannabis could've been the difference between him winning and losing in 2020. Instead, he only got the 5% of Americans who are anti-cannabis. Only about 2% of Americans are unsure. And in SC, the State Republican Party is making this exact same stupid mistake. It will cost them votes and future elections!
There's no other issue (that's actually bi-partisan) with anywhere close to this much consensus support. 9 out of 10 voters now support medical cannabis!

Anyone not emotionally invested can see a difference in the recent Biden performances vs his decades long career when stuttering was never an issue for him.
His decline is obvious. And it's laughable to try and blame it on stuttering.
