[Source.](https://humanevents.com/2024/03/15/austin-petersen-stop-calling-for-biden-to-step-aside) > So here’s the conundrum for the Republicans: Why would you force the most inept possible opponent -- and your best shot at the White House -- to step aside because of a few (hundred) gaffes? I mean, let's not be hasty. After all, we’ve seen presidents with far worse issues. Take Woodrow Wilson, for instance, who was practically an invalid for a while, leaving his wife to run the show. But did the country collapse? Well… okay, there were the biggest wars in history and the Great Depression, but looking at Ukraine and inflation, we seem to be back on that train already. > Granted, Biden’s escapades with misremembering names and countries have been more than a little concerning. It’s like watching your grandpa trying to navigate a smartphone – endearing but mildly alarming. The recent poll numbers are not doing him any favors either, with him losing in key battleground states he won last time. But here’s a thought: maybe, just maybe, this is the best thing that could happen to the GOP?
