inevitable, but the right decision..

It's very late, but it's the right decision. He should've offered to step down weeks ago - but better late than never.

Americans who oppose Trump need to have a credible alternative. Biden wasn't that.

[naomi24]

It is the right decision.

[TwoShortPlanks]

Will Kampala Harris step in as presidential candidate? 

[naomi24]

I bet a lot of Americans are breathing a sigh of relief.  

[Togo]

Has anyone told him yet? 

[Peter Pedant]

oh, er 1900 headlines.... BBC fluffies huffing  and puffing about the anti-democratic nature of this move....flapping and twittering , having absolutely no clue about the procedure ( apparently there is one...)

24 h news has projected language grads ( the fluffies that is!) into legal commentators - and doing it badly

[ToraToraTora]

The right thing to do.

[Peter Pedant]

Naomi - can you leave my  posts alone please?

[naomi24]

Peter Pedant, you are responsible for what you write.  

[Peter Pedant]

Fender, you hero, how did you find this out, so soon?

I quite like the idea of censoring the 'Biden goes' thread -  very AB - shhh the sensitive ABers mustn't know......

[naomi24]

Peter Pedant, if you'd like a break from AB carry on.  Stick to the topic or go away.  

[Peter Pedant]

Interesting point - if Biden is unfit to run.... then is he unfit to govern

o god this is not gonna go as well, is it? - a thought too heady for AB ?

 

[Hopkirk]

Perhaps the world has just been saved.

 

Oh,  hang on, who do we get instead?

Now things get interesting.

[Toorak]

It was predicted that he would withdraw this weekend - it's unfortunate that he didn't do so sooner.

PP - that is a good point: is he fit to govern?

[Ellipsis]

The question is, who should have the nomination:

Kamala Harris

Tom Hanks

George Clooney 

Gavin Newsom

Pete Buttigieg

Someone else

My vote: Newsom

[david small]

Mind how you go.

[naomi24]

Are all those up for nomination?
