Biden is America's Great Grandfather and the current leader of the free world. Unfortunately, watching MSNBC after the debate, Chris Hayes in all in, made a great point. He stated you have to way to communicate to the people, thats part of the job. You could be the best policy maker and behind the scenes get er done person, but you also have to communicate that to the American Public. Biden failed that last night and the stakes are so high for our future.
Biden could honorably say he is retiring after this term, after all, he is 81 years old. This will put his son's conviction to a possible pardon after the election for his son was convicted for politics.
Open a new door to a potential firecracker who will come back swiftly onto Trumps lies.
Another possibility, Biden announces he retiring after his term but remains on the ticket. But! If elected, Harris be the next US President and the speaker of the house be the next VP.
OR, we remain as is now and bite our nails until November 10th after long days after the election counting.

The problem with the MSNBC talking heads last night is they took the TFG bait hook, line and sinker. Fell into the trap set months ago about Bidens age and as soon as he has a bad performance started pearl cluttered over those GOP talking points.
Totally unprofessional and unacceptable IMO. They live in a media bubble.
