It isn't about any of the following for me

[lapfog_1]

It isn't about the mega donors
It isn't about the polls
It isn't about a single debate performance
It isn't about the number of Dems wanting him to stay
It isn't about the number of Dems that want him to leave
It isn't about who got the most votes in a primary now long over
It isn't about his age in particular. We age at much different rates and with different abilities as we get older

For me, it is only about CAN HE DO THE JOB.

That's it. So far he has done a fantastic best in my lifetime job.
But, if others have evidence he can no longer do the job, even it is only in the last 2 months that this evidence has surfaced, then they need to have a open and frank discussion about what they know, what they witnessed, that make them think he is no longer up to the job.

I've seen him do both terrible and relatively decent in non scripted appearances in the last 5 weeks. He has never been the greatest orator, I don't expect that.

If there is something wrong that the "insiders" know, they need to tell us... otherwise they need to get behind our President.

1. My best 'guess' is that, unfortunately, you might be on the right track.

However, should this be the case, the 'others' you mention are walking a tightrope.

Honesty only works to a point. If there is something huge going on it would be catastrophic to be completely open and honest about it. Let's say he doesn't step down, this is now out there for all the public to know and he'd go down fast, with all the down-ballot ramifications along with it.

I really can't think of another scenario as to why this is happening. I mean today it was Sherrod Brown, who has always been one of my favorites. I've always thought of him as being a decent and upright person.
