We already know trump sucks. He shouldn't be running for pres, he should probably be in prison. We're focusing on biden because he's also unfit, and we're afraid he can't beat trump. This isn't rocket surgery.

The GoP won't disparage their boy.

The DNC just doesn't have the same manpower, thousands of underpaid people and bad AI and american volunteers, and without all that manpower can't keep up on the "but his stammer" / "both sides" bullshit.

Because Trump did nothing unexpected for him - if anything he was more restrained than usual - but Biden is showing greater signs of senility. News reports things that are new, more at 11.

This. Plus that Trump will never back out and I doubt the Republican Party would have the strength to force him. On the other hand. getting a better suited candidate then Biden appeared to be somewhat possible for a moment, but I'd say that moment is probably over.

It's also harder to force Trump out, he actually won a real primary. Republicans would have to copy Democrats and argue that they can choose anyone they want regardless of votes.

Because everyone who owns the news is rich and the republicans like rich people and are also gonna lower their taxes
