    Maybe he does implode, but sitting and waiting for a "gaffe" to destroy Biden is foolish. "Gaffes" are only harmful if they reveal something about a candidate that was previously concealed. See: Romney "47%" or Hillary "deplorables." Biden's persona already has "gaffes" baked in

        The main thing that I could see genuinely undermining Biden is his cognitive capacities. He's 76 and it's common to falter at that age. He also underwent severe emotional stress recently due to the death of his son. But as recently as 2012 he performed very well in debates

        I just watched Biden's first rally in Pittsburgh, and I think people are exaggerating the extent to which he was "slurring." He's not the most articulate obviously, but he's perfectly intelligible. Just like Trump, who also frequently struggles to formulate complete sentences

        Perhaps people are a lot more ready to tell the fossil fuel companies to fvck off than you think? Biden is revealing himself as that which we can no longer abide. He is the gaffe and the more he is himself, the more he will self-destruct. Why? Because we want to survive.

        What needs to be considered are the significant percentage of the electorate, millennials and gen z, that were either not born or not old enough to be following politics during all the ridiculous stuff he said in the 90s. For them it may be new revelations.

        I think I Biden/Trump debate would be fun. Between trump's style, and Bidens "take him behind the woodshed" type comments, a little something for everyone

        What will destroy Joe Biden's candidacy is accountability for what he's done in politics & what he stands for.

        Biden is the only one that can save this country. We have to rally behind him while he has the momentum.

        Disagree. It's all about media framing. See Dean's "scream" and Dukakis riding the tank ( lesser: Kerry wearing a NASA clean suit). Neither revealed concealed flaws. Kewl Kids framing.

        How can you say this when he hasn't really made any gaffes before? The truth is that we just won't know how a Biden gaffe would play out until a Biden gaffe happens.

        I think he will be attacked from the left. Not directly. They will anonymously leak old cspan clips and the like to friendly media and force Biden to constantly confront his past statements/positions.

        Ridiculous, Slipping on a banana peel still gets a laugh. Plus, no one is sitting and waiting for what's bound to happen. It's a guaranteed "I told you so" moment. Inevitable. And worse for him because of that.

        I would like to think that's true, and for many individuals I'm sure it is. But broadly speaking, our culture puts far more emphasis on institutional pedigree than any other quality, including and maybe especially intelligence.
