Haleth May 20 Share May 20 (edited) Ok, why are we still talking about the cognitive decline of someone who is not in office? Why aren’t the media talking about the decline of the current occupant of the Oval Office? (Thank you for saying the same, Joy!) If Tapper didn’t learn this until after the election (so at least 6 months after Biden withdrew) then what’s the point of the book? Like I said last week, so what? Who cares? It annoys me they are still talking about this. This whole show is annoying today. So much so what who cares?

Shrek May 20 Share May 20 It took Anna about 0.5 seconds to make it about her & who she knows on Monday rather than Biden, at least Sunny is married to an actual doctor, Alyssa wasn't far behind Anna either. Talking of Alyssa I watched her on CNN over the weekend & it was like watching a different person talking. She was much more measured in her criticisms of both sides rather than just toeing the tangerine tyrant's line like she does on the View. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/153603-the-view-week-of-5192025/#findComment-8666822

It annoys me they are still talking about this. This whole show is annoying today. So much so what who cares? It's not about the cognitive decline. I'm a lefty, I've been liberal and woke for decades. I voted for Kamala. I detest Donald Trump. I want to know how a President who promised to be a bridge President, implying he would serve one term, who was in some kind of cognitive decline, could think of running for another term, and not one advisor, family member or political colleague could say "maybe we should think about this". I want to know how Jen O'Malley Dillon and her campaign thought it was a good idea for Biden to debate in the first place. What were they thinking? Post-debate all the surrogates were out: Pete, Kamala, Elizabeth Warren. All swearing Biden was at the top of his game. They sure didn't inspire confidence. We saw what we saw. Again, it's not about the cognitive decline, it's about the environment surrounding a sitting President the yessed him at every turn, and deprived the Democratic Party of a primary that may have chose a candidate who could distance themselves from the Biden presidency. The Democratic Party has a lot of soul searching to do. 7 1 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/153603-the-view-week-of-5192025/#findComment-8666887

They need new energy, fresh faces. Ignore the noise. (They need to find another Obama.) I think that they need to do several things: Examine what happened with Biden with the goal of changing / improving whatever processes, policies, strategies led to this failure. In my former career, this used to be called the "post-mortem" part of the development cycle. Not always comfortable, but things that are highlighted as errors or misjudgments can be addressed for future success. Using the data from the "post-mortem" as well as any "lessons learned", the party should develop a more cohesive and stable platform and recruit new potential candidates. Looking forward is the right thing to do, but if you don't know what went wrong before, you might end up making the same mistakes. 4 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/153603-the-view-week-of-5192025/#findComment-8666961

It's the cult of personality & the first thing you need is an actual personality & no matter how odious DJTs personality is to most it's way better than no personality which is what JB has, Joe B will only be remembered for the one thing, and that's going back on his word.

Yeah, I think the only people who want Democrats to keep thinking about a politician who is no longer in politics now are people who want Democrats to continue losing. People like Alyssa who continue to twist the truth just so they have an excuse to criticize anyone but Trump, like how she said Biden didn't drop out this morning? Come again? I find it ironic that the same people (Sara and Alyssa) who whined and moaned every day until Biden finally did drop out are now the same people whining and moaning the loudest when Democrats inevitably failed because he did what they wanted. I think they have the least to add to the conversation, considering how things worked out by going their direction. Anyway, everybody knows in politics that looking backward is never a recipe to success, only failure. 5 2 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/153603-the-view-week-of-5192025/#findComment-8667025

Many of the most egregious cuts in the just passed bill don’t go into effect until 2027, after the midterms, and the R propaganda machine will make sure they continue to hold both houses in 2026.
