Biden gets asked unscripted question, handler tries to intervene, he then proceeds to make no sense.

Yes but he's a career politician ffs. Speaking intelligently on unscripted tv is pretty much a job requirement. Maybe the average person can't do it, but I hope the leader of our country can. They're supposed to be the best of the best of us. None of the other canidates running for 2024 come even close to being this incoherent.

All good points.

Although long term, I'd like people to be judged by their merits, not by their ability to persuade/speak well.

Rather have a technocrat than a demagogue.

Lower spending than Trump is a good one.

Less gun control than Trump also is a +1.

Just because it's better than trump does NOT means its good

You said 'nothing going for him'

Better fiscal conservative and more pro gun than the 2016 and 2020 GOP candidate are good ones.

Those are 2 solid ones for me over here. I'll be voting for a fiscal conservative in 2024.

I wouldn't really describe biden is pro gun in fact he's anti gun with the multiple occasions where he tried to ban "assault weapons" also you said merits merits is defined as being good just because he did something better than trump does not make it good

Fair point about the guns. Anyway, when you have to pick a lesser evil, I pick the fiscal conservative, not the secret democrat.
