… “Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms,” read a statement released by the president’s personal office. “On Friday he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone.”

“While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management,” the statement continued. “The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.” …

How this very common condition went undiagnosed for this long to develop into Stage 4 escapes me. Where would we be now had Joe "stayed in" - and had won?

He would not have won. Please let’s not go there.

I must agree with you on that point, Mr. Helfner.

It could have been a different story had Joe stepped down at about the time I originated the "Please Joe" topic, and the Democrats had open primaries such as did the Republicans.

But on that point, we shall never know.

Having now completed the book "Fight" by Jonathan Allen and Aime Parnes, covering the period June 27 (Debate) to Jan 20, I note how the authors state that both "Barry" (Obama) and Nancy (Pelosi) wanted the Democrats to have "mini-primaries" after July 21 when Joe dropped out.

I'm at a complete loss to know how such would have occurred. There already had been Democratic primaries, which of course with only one recognized candidate on the ballot named Joe, resembled an "Election" in which someone name Vladimir was on that ballot.
