That they might align at times with a better decision does not imply they made a logical decision. In many instances they were making emotional appeals, if I recall correctly.

Also, it's to hard to imagine that any of the other Democrat candidates for president could have fared worse than Biden. Bloomberg or Bernie, I think could have done a better job so far. The others were a bit green and likely unprepared for global events, but even so, could one imagine them dong any worse? There is a fair chance they could have done better.

Assuming they had been capable of winning against Trump in the first place.

Why would a senile man who can barely talk straight have a better chance against Trump?

If the democrats didn't fear Bernie and would've pushed him as much and as ruthlessly as they did Biden I'm pretty sure he would've won as well

"Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart..."

“THE BEST genes. Everybody says so. You can ask… Ask Jean. She’ll tell you. Jean, aren’t you always saying that? See?

So like I was saying we need to drill closer to home and then you save the environment.”

Trump spoke like Eudora Welty on amphetamines. It was all over the place, garden-path on uppers; Biden can't seem to properly read off a teleprompter. Any of the other Democrat candidates would represent the presidency better, I think.

HN loves to assume that if someone bashes a Democrat then they’re big Trump fans. I don’t know GP and I don’t know which way he/she leans politically, but I wouldn’t think that their post should be read as “compared to Trump, Biden is….”

You can bash Trump's off-the-cuff speaking style all you want, but Joe Biden is actually senile. There's no comparison.
