Because their own candidate's deficiency is costing them the election right now.

But the other candidate's deficiencies (yes, plural) are an order of magnitude worse. Yet democrats choose to focus on a newly discovered deficiency in their own candidate.

But he's losing, and losing by a non-trivial margin.

He's losing because both Democrats and Republicans are focused on his age issue. Republicans are never going to care about their candidate's deficiencies. They simply line up behind him. So no one is focusing on Trump's deficiencies.

But Biden's deficiency also affects his ability to convey the campaign's message and communicate with voters directly.

Only when he's in the wrong setting. You saw him at the rally in NC less than 24 hours after the debate. He conveyed his message directly and convincingly. Get him in that setting and he will do his job.

The problem everyone seems to be overlooking is that while Biden is losing at the moment, so is every other potential replacement. And by more or less the same margin.

This is part of why I have been a republican most of my life. Republicans are organized and know how to get things done. I like that. But in the last decade, they've lost their way and are highly organized to get the most un-American person possible elected, with a highly organized group behind him to make America more bigoted, more hateful, and more divided than at any time since the civil war. That's not the America I want for future generations.

The choice is really simple. And it has nothing to do with Biden. Nothing at all. As I've said before, Democrats should be able to get a half-eaten ham sandwich elected over Trump. So an old, half functioning, but still breathing and on the right side of history man shouldn't have any problems if Democrats would knuckle down and get focused on winning instead of blaming the candidate for everything that goes wrong.

So get to work on getting your candidate elected instead of whining and moaning about a problem everyone knew about 4 years ago. Otherwise you are going to lose and the entire country will suffer because your candidate wasn't perfect.
