Will Biden Bow Out?

Joe Biden is clearly going senile.  Zogby, not a Republican polling firm, found that a majority of Americans think Biden is in the early stages of dementia.  It should be noted that Biden had multiple brain surgeries in 1988 because he had two brain aneurysms.  He was given less than a 50% chance of a full recovery.  Did he fully recover?  Let's consider some of the following quotes:

“A man I’m proud to call my friend. A man who will be the next president of the United States—Barack America!”

“Look, John [McCain’s] last-minute economic plan does nothing to tackle the No. 1 job facing the middle class, and it happens to be, as Barack says, a three-letter word: jobs. J-O-B-S, jobs.”

“If we do everything right, if we do it with absolute certainty, there’s still a 30 percent chance we’re going to get it wrong.”

"Every single morning since I've been 27 years old, I've got up and someone's handed me a card like the one I have in my pocket with the schedule on it, of all the things I'm gonna do. I don't know what to do if I didn't have that card."

I want to know who's preparing that card.

“When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn’t just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed.”

Let's see.  Hoover was president in 1929 and the radio was the medium of the day.

"If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black!"

Dan Quayle misspelled 'potatoe' and that is the story of his career.  Or maybe his tiff with Murphy Brown.  He has since been proven right; single motherhood is a terrible thing to intentionally do to a child.  By contrast, Biden has an endless collection of gaffes.  However, I do like that Joe is able to be politically incorrect with almost no consequences.  Compliment segregationist senators?  That's just Joe.  Say something vaguely racist about 7-11 owners?  Good old Joe.  You ain't black?  He didn't mean anything by it.  Anyone else would apologize or be cancelled.  Not Joe.

Covfefe showed Trump was a dummy.  Let's check out Biden's use of "expodentially."  Hasn't anyone on his staff corrected him?  I bet they have and yet...  Joe's losing his marbles and everyone around him knows it.  There is talk of not having debates.  Gee, I wonder why.  If he doesn't bow out and somehow wins, his VP pick will be elevated to president shortly after January 20, 2021.  That's a long, long shot.

Having won the nomination, he could admit to his mental decline and gracefully bow out.  The Democratic Convention has a floor fight to pick the nominee.  That could generate a lot of excitement though it does have the problem of nixing the primary results.  Then again, COVID had already nixed a lot of the primaries.  If Biden does bow out, Democrats will angle for a black woman.  Then, any criticism of her - or her policies - will be either racist or sexist, possibly both.
