Joe Biden Joe Lockhart, a former press secretary for President Bill Clinton, is publicly advising former Vice President Joe Biden not to debate President Donald Trump.

Lockhart published an op-ed last week at CNN.com warning Biden that he should not debate Trump because the latter is prone to statement that fail the fact-checking test (original emphasis):

Whatever you do, don’t debate Trump. Trump has now made more than 20,000 misleading or false statements according to the Washington Post. It’s a fool’s errand to enter the ring with someone who can’t follow the rules or the truth. Biden will undoubtedly take heat from Republicans and the media for skipping the debates. But it’s worth the risk as trying to debate someone incapable of telling the truth is an impossible contest to win.

However, Biden has been criticized in past debate performances for his misstatements and outright fabrications. In a debate with Alaska Governor Sarah Palin in 2008, Biden made several false claims, including the odd claim that the United States and France had “kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon.” (Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed terrorist group with an associated political wing, is still very much there, and is a major part of Lebanon’s government.)

In 2012, as he debated then-Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), Biden again told a series of whoppers, including the false claim that Obamacare was not forcing religious institutions to provide contraceptive coverage. That very issue has been at the heart of lawsuits brought by Little Sisters of the Poor, a Catholic order that had been required to pay for contraception.

The Biden campaign agreed in June that the candidate will participate in three debates. But Democrats are worried that the aging Biden, who has had trouble articulating his views in past debates, will look frail next to President Trump

What can you say about a candidate whose only hope of winning is staying locked up in his basement?

Just tell him Trump is Corn Pop, and Joe will be in his best debating form.

The Corn Pop story was like a thousand years ago. That Biden is history. And I doubt that story has any merit, anyway.

I don't see what the problem is. That's the best fucking advice anyone can give him. He's going to get slaughtered if he debates.

Now the reasons not to were bullshit. The reason he shouldn't be debating him is because he doesn't have the mental capacity to put together a paragraph anymore.

Biden outright lied about a dozen times during a single debate near the end of the primaries. It was disgraceful and the media just glossed it over.

Democrats picked Biden to be their nominee DESPITE him being an abject liar, not because he isn’t!
Clearly this shows that Democrats want to be lied to as long as the liar is someone they prefer.

Not a joke and not hyperbole - I’m hearing from people close to the situation that Biden’s cognitive decline is rapidly worsening and is becoming increasingly difficult to mask. The Democrats are going to have to make a decision soon.

I hope not within sniffing and grabbing distance.

It’s going to become clear (Before the election) that we are voting for Biden’s VP pick, not Biden.
Hence all the dithering about who to choose.

If he could have held on and been a viable candidate at least until the election, they could pick almost anyone: basically go with their dream POTUS pick who would assume power as soon as Dementia Joe had to retire from public life. But now that it appears Joe won’t be able to hide his rapid cognitive decline, and indeed the public will soon know the extent of the sad situation, the VP will be essentially “running for President.” Trump may as well debate the VP pick, as she is who he will actually be running against. And if it’s someone super polarizing and leftist, he is going to look like the “safe” option to likely voters. Basically all of the people who’ve been touted by the media for that job are super polarizing and have shown incredible leftist tendencies. They couldn’t be elected to that office on their own merits. Biden, or at least the Biden who used to be, could win based on his ability to be less offensive and more mainstream than Trump.
That isn’t going to work with any of these black female VP candidates.
And the DNC knows that. Klobuchar was their go-to girl for this potentiality, but the BLM people forced her to drop out from consideration in a very public way. Now they’re scrambling to find someone to fit the bill, and pickings are fucking slim.

The rumored VP choices all seal his coffin. Unless he comes out with a surprise person, this election is likely over when he announces his VP pick. Especially if it's anyone from CA, IL or NY. I still don't think he makes it to election day either. Not dead or anything, I just think Dems see the writing on the wall. Having now flown, Covid is a nothing burger that is being completely blown out. There's no way they can keep the circus of BS news and reporting going another 3 months. They blew the load too early.

Biden Campaign Says He Is So Close To A VP Pick He Can Smell Her

Biden is fingering a minority female VP candidate as we speak.

And what happened to Hunter Ukraine?

They blew THAT load too early.

I don't see anything good happening until at least after the election.

Dumbest logic ever. If your opponent is prone to lying, then let the media tear that apart after the debate, or, if you are on top of your game you could tear the opponent apart during the debate. Either way, a lying opponent should be a good thing to a skilled debater.

If Biden can't handle debating someone who lies, how can he handle anything else in this world? Practically everything is some shade of half-truth if not a flat-out lie.

They are grasping for straws.

China never lies, just ask Hunter.

I actually have a suspicion that Biden went off script when he got asked the debate question on whether he would commit to choosing a woman for VP. They probably had someone lined up for the spot and he fucked them over with his response. Thank god Tulsi Gabbard mauled Kamala at the debates.

Tucker Carlson, on tonight's show Aug 3, floated the idea his VP pick might be Susan Rice. Served in 3 administrations, Clinton, Bush 2, Obama, an un-elected bureaucrat, a Washington insider, who lied on numerous occasions to protect her career and her boss, especially on the Benghazi attack being spurned by a video made by a christian.
