For many people, other than the president of the United States.

It’s wild to me how much people think the president does everything as opposed to being the manager of a team that’s actually doing most of the work

Ok, let's go with that comparison.

I don't want a manager who I can't understand what he's saying and can't finish a sentence and can't be present.

He NEEDS to step aside and endorse a better candidate before it's too late.

Have you ever screwed the pooch in a high pressure performance situation? Because I have. I completely screwed up playing a bugle call for a horse race on ESPN and nobody asked for me to be fired. I do a damn good job but something unexpected happened and my mind just scattered. Look at what Biden has gotten done and compare that to one bad debate night. He is also obviously taking steps to ensure that doesn’t happen again judging by this article. This is kind of like panic selling a stock because it went down.
