US is ranked 25th as a "Flawed Democracy", behind Canada, the UK, Denmark, Norway, New Zealand and many more countries considered "Full Democracies" by the Democracy Index.

Trump can barely make a sentence without rambling and Biden is the senile one? I find it a really weird angle of attack from the Trump camp. It's a "throwing rocks in a glass house" kind of situation. Although thinking about it, Trump is a master at projection, pretty everything he's accused people of doing, he's done it himself.

How quickly people seem to have forgotten that George W. Bush made Biden and Trump both look like master orators. He was still elected. Twice.

Yeah he has been lying about things for decades dating back (at least) to when he flat out told a group of reporters about his college degree, what class ranking he was, etc. and then they fact-checked that all that information was wrong. There are a LOT of flaws against him, but I didn't really want to address that. I'm more concerned about his mental health and wellbeing and how he could handle the toughest job on Earth than I am about him being terrible. We can deal with "bad/evil" leaders, but it's pretty hard to deal with leaders that literally don't know where they are or what is going on. I'd rather have a Kim Jung Un or Nebuchadnezzar (pre mental illness) for a leader than a King George III or Nebuchadnezzar (during mental illness). Bad is more tolerable than "lost his mind."

I watched almost all the debates, at least in part. It was mostly a "whose got the bigger stick" fight between Warren and Sanders and the same kind of fight between the moderates while Biden remained pretty quiet. It wasn't until it was just him and Sanders where he got enough air time to say things, and even then that was a short period and wasn't in front of a live audience. If Biden goes one on one with Trump in front of a live crowd, it's going to be a massacre I think.

As far as slips goes, he makes WAAAY more than any other politician I've studied and I've been pretty obsessed with politics (any party, even minor ones and international like UK, Canadian, German, Australian in particular) for many years now. I taught for 4 years prior to this school year and I too made slips, but not like this guy. Saying this legitimate viewpoint is simply a fabrication for a political party you may not agree with doesn't help create an atmosphere for a rational discussion, by the way. I would not say "This whole Trump being a narcissist is a Biden creation. It isn't true," to you because I believe in respecting viewpoints. You can disagree with a viewpoint without describing it like it's a conspiracy theory and thereby alienating said viewpoint's holders from a quality discussion.

And I don't believe Biden will hold any kind of responsible attitude. He lit into his fellow democrats on live stage with anger and quite a bit of rudeness for far less accusations being thrown his way than he will get from Trump. If he got that angry with likeminded people in front of millions watching, how angry will he get with Trump who isn't likeminded at all and will say far more insulting things? Biden himself said he'd like to take Trump into a locker room to beat him up. The debates are going to be FILLED with insults from both of them.

And you may be right, Trump may get voted out. Historically speaking it is unlikely due to patterns and movements dating back to the early 1900's, but maybe that pattern will end (or at least have an outlier this year). 

For me, personally, I don't think I'll ever have "my kind of candidate" win again. I prefer a little government Republican like Mike Huckabee in 2007-2008 (or what George W. Bush was supposed to be) that leaves most decisions up to the states, but those kind of Republicans can't win national elections. The only ones that can I think win national elections now are these more populist Republicans like Trump. I personally hope Nikkie Haley is the republican nominee in 2024, that's a person I could vote for (at least for now).

The entire economy is propped up on debt.  The economy was always going to go into recession but the virus just made it worse.  A lot of these companies were going under before the shutdown.  The shutdown will accelerate it and unfortunately other companies that would have been okay have to close for good also.  Just wait till the fall and you will see even more companies going under.  To say the economy was roaring is complete bullshit.  The economy grew just as good under Obama than it did under Trump even before this mess and we didn't have to give tax breaks to the rich and corporations to achieve it then.

I think it also depends on the person's personality. Even biden being senile I dont think he would do something crazy, probably just say a lot of stuff that people would not understand, forget the name of people, places etc, but nothing really major in my opinion. Also he is very entrenched in the roots of democrat party so he wouldnt be making decisions by himself. But doesnt change the fact that he would destroyed by trump on a debate. Trump has more of a chaotic behavior even without being senile hahaha. Americans should be worried about who will be the vice president. And if it is Hillary, well then we are 100% sure he will die during his first year.

I think Trump will. The Corona virus hurt the good economy we had going, but things are opening up now, so we'll slowly but surely recover. And the riots have hurt the Dems because people are seeing their weak response to cities being burned down and even taken over. Then you have Biden, a very poor candidate. He's obviously slipping mentally, something that will be displayed even more when he gets riled up in the debates with Trump. And I'm sure Super Pacs are going to be running ads with him sniffing and touching little girls. Not a good look

You have a nice point here, mentioning that only populist republicans can win from now on. It seems to be the behavior in several parts of the world. The left went so to the far left of the spectrum that it opened the way to conservatives to also look for more and more radical candidates. The world is getting weird. Center left and center right voters are not being properly represented.

Biden for a very simple reason.

Fear of a Clinton presidency motivated people to vote for Trump in 2016.

The fear factor is now hurting Trump as it is motivating people to support Biden out of fear of another Trump reelection.

Fear trumps motivation.
