Many years ago I played regularly with a guy that was a pro golfer for a time. I would get upset whenever I made a bad shot, missed an easy putt etc. He told me, JJ don’t get upset and don’t expect to get any better unless you are willing to hit the driving range a few days a week, practice chipping and putting a few times a week and play a few rounds per week. Only playing once, maybe twice, per week isn’t enough to change your game.
I actually listened and that was when I quit throwing clubs and getting frustrated. That was almost 40 years ago.

That was a very Bidenesque press conference. How many sitting Democrats are going to call for Biden to give up the nom tomorrow? Here are my o/u lines:
Congressman 10.5
Senators 3.5
Governors 0 or 1
3 teaser bets!
NYT has another op ed calling for Biden to drop out. -750
Biden pens another letter +400
Archie posts the VP Trump gaffe -100,000

The day Trump was convicted, my money line for Trump to be reelected would have been something like +1000. Then he raised $50M in a 24 hours. So coin toss the next day. Right now, -200.
What's your line on Foggy Bottom?

What in the hell were you watching? Yes, he’s old. But it was a very good showing for him.

I agree!
Someone mentioned that the bar is set very high for JB, but that is not the case, the bar is low, which is good and really for the most part he did a decent job yesterday. The whispering into the mic was weird but whatever. Seems like an old speech team tactic.
The most important part was he left no doubt that he is running.

Bar high or low - what is amazing with this press is that there appears to be no bar for Trump. As @knapplc 's thread asks " why isn't the GOP breaking glass' to find a replacement for the felon?? Perhaps it is shear panic by the media - they don't see how slow Joe beats lying trump so therefore the push to dump Joe. That tactic may very well backfire due to time constraints. There are many, many good potential candidates who could beat Trump but raising the funds and name recognition at this short date makes it very difficult to run a campaign. The Ill Govenor, Pritzker could probably self-finance but the name recognition would not be there. Perhaps after this settles down and after the GOP convention, the media will turn their collective attention to the danger a trump presidency will bring to all of us (even those in his cult).
Joe had 2 major gaffes yesterday but overall, he looked much better than he did on debate night. Biden has been known for gaffes during his full political career - even while in excellent health. Those gaffes weren't out of the ordinary for him. When the pressure is on it is easier to say something wrong. I once had a terrible blunder in the classroom. I was teaching a Global Business class (as an adjunct) at a local U and I meant to say 'organism'. What came out was........."orgasm" :facepalm: We laughed it off but boy that was embarrassing. Sometimes you never know where an ADHD mind goes and what 'pops' out of it. I think Joe has had the same issue.

These people are so damn weird it’s like we are living in a fictitious movie. Just trying to figure out if it’s a comedy or horror movie.
So, the party who has Project 2025….wants to ban pornography. That project is sponsoring the RNC that is going to nominate a guy that had to pay off a porn star because he screwed her while his wife was home having a baby. Just before that, he was having another affair with another porn star.
Now, they are having a porn star speak at the convention that is being sponsored by the people who want to ban pornography.
The guy they are going to nominate claims he doesn’t know these people at all even though they worked in his previous administration.

It's been a weird vice-presidency from Day One. Many if not most people thing Kamala's been misused or just unused. If she was just chosen for optics, ignoring that she was not even charismatic enough to make it to the primary, that's on the Dems and Biden and might explain why her role and visibility were so limited.
But what got Kamala to the table was her on-camera performances grilling Republicans, where her experience as a high-profile prosecutor came through. She's not a novice at this, and playing to her prosecutor side could work.
