It would be nice if the debates would include third party candidates instead of just the Democratic and Republican candidates. But I'm sure that won't happen anytime soon, sadly.

This is most likely because he knows the Reps don't have the numbers to vote in a new Justice immediately.
I'm sorry? By all accounts they already have the votes and are going to do it as soon as Trump picks. The only people who have said no are Murkowski and Collins, all the other vulnerable or moderate Republicans have either remained quiet or expressed support, which leaves them at 51 votes. Even if Romney jumps ship they still get a tie and they still win via Pence.

Not everyone who thinks a thing that you disagree with does so because of Trump.

Before Trump was a factor (ie President), Biden was vice-President.
He had a reputation for gaffes. I don't remember anything saying gaffes proved he was dopey.

Hell, it was an issue when he ran against Obama in 2008.
I don't agree with them, but to pretend this is only a thing because of Trump is just not accurate.

I see no reasons why mail in votes cant be received and counted before election nights, in early voting elections of all kinds, not just for President, for all early voting elections.

Their style of senility is different, imo. Biden stutters and seems to be unable to form words from his thoughts, while Trump has the vocabulary of a ten-year-old.
Just a side story, but I remember last night watching on Twitter about Trump's response to Ginsburg's death on C-Span. The cheesy Elton John music made everything look so heartfelt, yet I was turned off instantly by Trump's repetition of the word "amazing". Like can't you find other synonyms for that?

Conserative Morality wrote:"It's not time yet" is a tactic used by reactionaries in every era. "It's not time for democracy, it's not time for capitalism, it's not time for emancipation." Of course it's not time. It's never time, not on its own. You make it time. If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long. If the fields aren't furrowed, plow them. If the iron is not hot, make it so. If society is not ready, change it.

That's because Biden actually used to have a pretty debilitating stutter.
As a current presidential candidate and former Vice President of the United States, Joe Biden is required to speak in public at high-profile events more often than most. It’s no secret that Vice President Biden has struggled with a stutter throughout his life, but it makes it all the more impressive and inspiring that he has risen to the second-highest office you can possibly hold in the United States.
Vice President Biden spoke about how difficult it was to overcome his stutter in a 2010 appearance on ABC's The View. In 2011, he wrote an essay for People Magazine on his experience:
“I never had professional therapy, but a couple of nuns taught me to put a cadence to my speaking, and that's why I spent so much time reading poetry – Emerson and Yeats,” Biden wrote. “But even in my small, boys' prep school, I got nailed in Latin class with the nickname Joe Impedimenta. You get so desperate, you're so embarrassed.”
Vice President Biden is an inspiration to those who stutter, proving that struggling with stuttering does not have to hinder your personal success.
At a 25th anniversary gala for The Lab School of Washington, Biden told the audience, “God’s gift to me was my stuttering,” he said. But he also warned, “Don’t let your learning disability define you.”
As a child, Biden worked on relieving his stuttering by reciting poetry in front of the mirror while monitoring his facial reactions. Overcoming the disability and the outcast status it gave him made him that much stronger and more empathetic later in life, he noted.
“Time and time again, my parents taught me that being different is no barrier to success,” Biden said. “And the measure of a man isn’t how often he is knocked down but how quickly he gets up.”
In May 2015, Vice President Biden sent a letter to the Stuttering Foundation of America in celebration of the Foundation’s annual Lotos Club Gala. He offered up some valuable advice to those struggling with stuttering:
“If I could share one piece of advice with all of those struggling with a stutter, it would be this: When you commit yourself to a goal and when you persevere in the face of struggle, you will discover new strengths and skills to help you overcome not only this challenge, but future life challenges as well. I promise you – you have nothing to be ashamed of, and you have every reason to be proud.”

So did Churchill.
