"What ails Joe Biden cannot be fixed," says CNN's Michael Smerconish,"and eventually it comes for us all. Which is why, he says, a contested Democratic Convention is needed to determine a replacement candidate.

Biden's aging has been "a topic that is radioactive," says Wall Street Journal Reporter Annie Linskey. So even though stories of his slipping were circulating, "The Democratic party is very much bound together by this fear of Donald Trump returning to power, and there has been a reluctance to be candid about some of Biden's drawbacks because of that."

Calls for Biden to step aside for a replacement continue to grow. But given that he currently controls most of the party's delegates, what is the procedure were he to drop out? An expert explains.

With voters now worrying if Biden can last another four months, much less four years, pollster Frank Luntz says, "What this debate is going to do is to give Trump a lead in every one of the swing states. If things stay as they are, Donald Trump is the next President of the United States and the Democrats have to come to grips with that."

Our elected president has been managed by his aides and our country is run by unelected functionaries. But the Bidens will not give up power.

The conclusion that Democrats in the United States be considered pro-Ukraine constitutes a case of grand historic irony.
