: 拜登在上次選舉就有些怪怪的了
: 過去四年後
: 感覺越發嚴重了些
: 滿典型的老年失智症
: 這已經不是立場問題、個人歷練問題
: 而是難以適任了

有陰謀論者指出
這場辯論其實是民主黨逼退拜登的手段
理由是
1.民主黨明顯知道拜登的語言組織與行為能力難以應付這樣的辯論
2.基於前者，反常地提早舉行辯論，刻意預留走馬換將的操作時間

To Serve His Country, President Biden Should Leave the Race
https://reurl.cc/DjrDRd
President Biden has repeatedly and rightfully described the stakes in this
November’s presidential election as nothing less than the future of American
democracy.
Donald Trump has proved himself to be a significant jeopardy to that
democracy — an erratic and self-interested figure unworthy of the public
trust. He systematically attempted to undermine the integrity of elections.
His supporters have described, publicly, a 2025 agenda that would give him
the power to carry out the most extreme of his promises and threats. If he is
returned to office, he has vowed to be a different kind of president,
unrestrained by the checks on power built into the American political system.
Mr. Biden has said that he is the candidate with the best chance of taking on
this threat of tyranny and defeating it. His argument rests largely on the
fact that he beat Mr. Trump in 2020. That is no longer a sufficient rationale
for why Mr. Biden should be the Democratic nominee this year.
At Thursday’s debate, the president needed to convince the American public
that he was equal to the formidable demands of the office he is seeking to
hold for another term. Voters, however, cannot be expected to ignore what was
instead plain to see: Mr. Biden is not the man he was four years ago.
The president appeared on Thursday night as the shadow of a great public
servant. He struggled to explain what he would accomplish in a second term.
He struggled to respond to Mr. Trump’s provocations. He struggled to hold
Mr. Trump accountable for his lies, his failures and his chilling plans. More
than once, he struggled to make it to the end of a sentence.
Mr. Biden has been an admirable president. Under his leadership, the nation
has prospered and begun to address a range of long-term challenges, and the
wounds ripped open by Mr. Trump have begun to heal. But the greatest public
service Mr. Biden can now perform is to announce that he will not continue to
run for re-election.
As it stands, the president is engaged in a reckless gamble. There are
Democratic leaders better equipped to present clear, compelling and energetic
alternatives to a second Trump presidency. There is no reason for the party
to risk the stability and security of the country by forcing voters to choose
between Mr. Trump’s deficiencies and those of Mr. Biden. It’s too big a bet
to simply hope Americans will overlook or discount Mr. Biden’s age and
infirmity that they see with their own eyes.
If the race comes down to a choice between Mr. Trump and Mr. Biden, the
sitting president would be this board’s unequivocal pick. That is how much
of a danger Mr. Trump poses. But given that very danger, the stakes for the
country and the uneven abilities of Mr. Biden, the United States needs a
stronger opponent to the presumptive Republican nominee. To make a call for a
new Democratic nominee this late in a campaign is a decision not taken
lightly, but it reflects the scale and seriousness of Mr. Trump’s challenge
to the values and institutions of this country and the inadequacy of Mr.
Biden to confront him.
Ending his candidacy would be against all of Mr. Biden’s personal and
political instincts. He has picked himself up from tragedies and setbacks in
the past and clearly believes he can do so again. Supporters of the president
are already explaining away Thursday’s debate as one data point compared
with three years of accomplishments. But the president’s performance cannot
be written off as a bad night or blamed on a supposed cold, because it
affirmed concerns that have been mounting for months or even years. Even when
Mr. Biden tried to lay out his policy proposals, he stumbled. It cannot be
outweighed by other public appearances because he has limited and carefully
controlled his public appearances.
It should be remembered that Mr. Biden challenged Mr. Trump to this verbal
duel. He set the rules, and he insisted on a date months earlier than any
previous general election debate. He understood that he needed to address
longstanding public concerns about his mental acuity and that he needed to do
so as soon as possible.
The truth Mr. Biden needs to confront now is that he failed his own test.
In polls and interviews, voters say they are seeking fresh voices to take on
Mr. Trump. And the consolation for Mr. Biden and his supporters is that there
is still time to rally behind a different candidate. While Americans are
conditioned to the long slog of multiyear presidential elections, in many
democracies, campaigns are staged in the space of a few months.
It is a tragedy that Republicans themselves are not engaged in deeper
soul-searching after Thursday’s debate. Mr. Trump’s own performance ought
to be regarded as disqualifying. He lied brazenly and repeatedly about his
own actions, his record as president and his opponent. He described plans
that would harm the American economy, undermine civil liberties and fray
America’s relationships with other nations. He refused to promise that he
would accept defeat, returning instead to the kind of rhetoric that incited
the Jan. 6 attack on Congress.
The Republican Party, however, has been co-opted by Mr. Trump’s ambitions.
The burden rests on the Democratic Party to put the interests of the nation
above the ambitions of a single man.
Democrats who have deferred to Mr. Biden must now find the courage to speak
plain truths to the party’s leader. The confidants and aides who have
encouraged the president’s candidacy and who sheltered him from unscripted
appearances in public should recognize the damage to Mr. Biden’s standing
and the unlikelihood that he can repair it.
Mr. Biden answered an urgent question on Thursday night. It was not the
answer that he and his supporters were hoping for. But if the risk of a
second Trump term is as great as he says it is — and we agree with him that
the danger is enormous — then his dedication to this country leaves him and
his party only one choice.
The clearest path for Democrats to defeat a candidate defined by his lies is
to deal truthfully with the American public: acknowledge that Mr. Biden can’
t continue his race, and create a process to select someone more capable to
stand in his place to defeat Mr. Trump in November.
It is the best chance to protect the soul of the nation — the cause that
drew Mr. Biden to run for the presidency in 2019 — from the malign warping
of Mr. Trump. And it is the best service that Mr. Biden can provide to a
country that he has nobly served for so long.
簡單說
就是先歌頌一下拜登
說他是一個偉大且令人敬佩的總統
不但修復了川普在任時留下的撕裂創傷
還帶領著美國面對著一系列的挑戰
然後就是講川普有多麼的糟糕
相較於川普，拜登才是一個正常的領導人之類的
緊接著就是話鋒一轉
拜登明白他需要解決民眾對他精神狀態的擔憂
但由於在這次辯論上的表現
使他自己無法通過這場對自己的試煉
因此
呼應標題
既然大家都明白川普當上總統對國家利益有多大危害的前提下
拜登總統在為美國做出這麼多貢獻後
現在所能做出最後，也是最偉大的貢獻就是
終止競選
至於換不換得成
不曉得
主要是能換誰呢？
不過
總歸是開始有異音出來了
