    Do you think the COVID thing he says he has is a smoke screen? It’ll be announced that it’s actually Long COVID and it would not be wise to run a gruelling campaign with Long COVID for health reasons? So to save face that’s how he’ll pull out?

      If he came out and said “I’m tired” then dropped out, I think everyone would understand.

      This news coming directly on the heels of his statement that he would bow out if a major health concern cropped up? Yeah, I’m with ya.

        I hope not, someone in a different thread made the point that it would shake people’s confidence in the Dem party even more, and it would be better if he just owned up and said he was stepping aside for the good of the nation.

      I think the COVID is a smokescreen so he can avoid more embarrassing public appearances between now and when Donna Brazil can rig up the extra early online delegate count to seal the deal and make it too late.

        Dya think he mistook his vice president of four year for the orange man because of COVID? 🤔… Makes sense to me.

    Let it go, Joe. It’s okay. Four years of a grueling job. You can step down. No one will blame you.
