Totally agree. Biden post-debate is a very big, fast-moving story, most of whose protagonists are trying to hide what they’re thinking and doing behind the scenes, and covering stories like that is what the NYT is for.

Also a lot of claims that the NYT is creating the narrative that Biden is too old out of whole cloth

I’m still mad about the emails coverage (and the trans coverage) too, but this is not that, take it easy folks.

The Vice-President can kill the President, because the instant the murder takes place, she becomes President, and therefore immune.

My job is merely to call balls and strikes. My ruling in this case is strike -- that guy is allowed to strike people with the bat.

Joe Biden and Paul George — two guys too old for my team to give a four year contract, but they’ve backed themselves into a corner and they have to do it

And yes, I would like Biden to win the election, but the situation is not ideal.

I do t think you could get Biden to give up his car keys, much less resign the presidency.

True, but, and again, I’m drawing on my own quite common experience of caring for an elderly parent, old people who start to slip can often decline very fast. If you could promise me Biden will not get worse, great.

Totally agree! But speaking as someone who’s attended Harris fundraisers for governor and for president, if Biden does step down, the impulse to at least kick the tires on Whitmer is not crazy, I don’t think. That said, plenty of people who took a couple elections to get good on the national stage

To be fair, the last time she was in a national election, everyone thought she would be a formidable candidate but she did terribly, and was widely considered a surprisingly poor campaigner. So there is a data point.

This may be because you are listening to a pretty thin slice of electorate. Anyone who’s cared for an elderly parent has to be pretty terrified of how he’d govern.

I don’t have what you’d call “proof,” but it’s too good to be true. It feels written, if you know what I mean.
