[Politics] The 2024 US Election - *MATCH DAY*

[StonehamPark]

Jesus Christ, there’s really no worse speech-gaffe he could make.

Biden has just called Zelenskyi Putin..... he's f^ucked....

it's very sad, but he's done for after that

Biden’s unscripted prezza begins in about an hour. The general unwritten rule in politics is that when the politician becomes the story rather than the issues, then it’s game up and time to exit stage left.

I can’t fathom why Biden can’t or won’t accept this. He’s finished.

The sad thing is, that with his "obvious" condition, he's not capable of it.....

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

Could we be seeing a new President sooner than we think?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

He has a live unscripted prezzer to do today or tomorrow. The first for.......2 years! He will either smash it or it will smash him.

Well.....

 

[y2dave]

No way he will survive this. Hopefully it’s swift and he can retain some dignity.

Oh dear oh dear oh dear!

Biden live updates: Biden introduces Zelensky as Putin at Nato event

The US president, who is under intense scrutiny amid questions over his age and fitness, makes the gaffe ahead of a crunch news conference.

And Starmer says Biden was on really good form?

What ? For a stand up comedian?

Tragic hardly covers it!

It gets worse…

He just told Zelensky, “You did one hellva job at the Brighton and Hove Albions last season.”

 

[StonehamPark]

Honestly, quite sad seeing that.

That must be the death knell.

I don’t think his Putin gaffe is going to go away - it will stick in the craw of Democrats who are already overly sensitised to his cognitive decline. 85% of Americans say he’s too old to do another term and every sign of weakness will feed that narrative.

As @Bry Nylon said above - When the Candidate has become the story then it’s over.

The only thing that is concerning is there will be a lot of angry voters if Kamala Harris is passed over. So how would a black female candidate do against a white male - not sure the swing voters of middle America are ready for that.

The longer this drags on the more damage it is doing to the Democratic Party.

Glad that's happened in a way because surely, surely that gaff is so horrendous it ends now for him? You have to hope that the Democrats can pull a proverbial rabbit out of the hat now.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Off you go.

Thanks for your service etc.


Enjoy the ice cream.

 

[beorhthelm]

pretty sure he has form for this, muddling names and countries. always been brush away, defended, covered for.

Yep it's going to have to be one hell of a rabbit for the Democrats to win this election.

Will get messy no matter what happens.

I am still confused as to what happens if Biden was to drop out, but I don't think anyone really knows from what I have seen.

 

[armchairclubber]

and now he has a new spokesperson.

He's only done 1 unscripted appearance in 2 years .... And that went like shit.

I'm thinking that was the scripted part! We're still waiting on the unscripted aren't we?

 

[Pevenseagull]

If .....IF ....the Dems replace Biden and win .... Imagine how Trumpy Trump would be.I


What a f***ing shambles.

 

[Bry Nylon]

Prezzer started. It's a car crash already and he hasn't even got to the unscripted Q&A yet. Excruciating.
