    Yeah and I mean, I don’t see anyone saying he didn’t do a lot of good things over the past 4 years. Those are also the same points he kept repeating ad nauseam in this interview, but the problem is, that’s not the issue on everyone’s mind right now, and that’s not what really matters here.

    What matters is, is he physically and mentally fit to continue doing that for another 4 years? And unfortunately, even if the answer is a firm ‘Yes’, he still needs to demonstrate that it’s the case, and convince all of his potential voters that it’s the case, which re-stating past successes is not doing.

      Trump wants him gone, because Republicans (not maga ones, but the ones that call themselves “independents”) are more likely to vote for him than anyone else the democratic party puts up.

      In the interview he is not a fast talker (he never was, he has a speech impediment since childhood) but what he is saying actually makes sense unlike the far guy.

      Even during the debate, while trump appears to talk smoothly, but if you actually listened and trying to understand what he said it was just rambling that was getting worse as the debate continued. He wasn’t even responding to questions asked.

      I know why he refused to do this interview as well, because he would have to answer questions and people could easily compare their responses.

      Yes, Biden isn’t young, but the fact that media pushing on him and ignoring obvious signs of dementia on Trump side tells me that this whole thing is astroturfed.
