with less than expected changes. They know Kamala Harris has had a seat in all important meetings and could likely easily move into the Presidency if needed. No one doubts her intelligence or skill.

I suspect that the very fact that Biden has worked against the status quo to help the majority of people has not been appreciated by some of the elites. Some of the journalists are probably moved by fear that Trump could beat Biden. The problem for them, is there is nothing to suggest another nominee would do better.

Biden is President. He should regularly speak to the public to show who he is. Remember that in 2004 when Bush was thoroughly beaten in the first debate on foreign policy by Kerry, he announced and the media carried a foreign policy speech. In 2004, Kerry, without Trump 's cult, was an alternative with far less baggage and a reputation for honesty. Note, no one called for Bush to drop out having blown a debate on what should have been his strongest issues.

And if Trump really can be credibly accused of paedophilia, no one will vote for him.

It’s an expression. There is no candidate who would get no votes at all.

But to your objection…pedophiles are hypocritical enough to condemn other people for what they do.

I'll vote for his corpse as a vote against Trump. But will the rest of America? Probably not. This is our problem.

JKF wasn't well and didn't serve out his term because he was assinated.
Reagan suffered from dementia during his second term.
Wilson was incapacited during his term and his wife, as the story goes, stepped in.
Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley were all assignated before the end of their terms.

That's 7 presidents out of 45 (counting Cleveland once) or 15% either not surving or being incapacitated during their term of office. It's why we have a Vice President!
