President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

If he is wearing a diaper, I feel bad for the guy. Imagine not being able to control your shits?

 

I still think one of Hillary’s biggest mistakes in 2016 was not choosing Biden as her running mate. I don’t even know if he would’ve accepted. But with him on the ticket, they win Pennsylvania — even if he never spent a day on the campaign trail. Tim Kaine is a nice elementary school principal, but his personality was not a fit for a presidential campaign.

 

What did they do to him at Studio 54? Telephone poles? Dayum.

 

Biden doesn't have to hand off. He's like Reagan on snooze control in his second term until he has to be rousted out of bed for something like a space shuttle disaster or a trip to Berlin.

 

Next stop, Bill Maher.

 

They'll put forth a top five of Democratic senators and / or congressmen that if picked will shift a seat in their direction because the GOP governor can pick a replacement or the vote was so close it has a chance to tip back to them in a special election.

 

Even if you had someone - they would have the double hurdle of "challenging" the sitting Dem President and/or the first woman, and person of color to be VP - even if people don't think Harris has "it" - there are still major constituencies within the party that would frown on not just passing the torch to her - even if it meant losing the general.

 

Ford was a compromise candidate to replace Agnew. Democratic House leadership told Nixon “no” on some other names.

 

McCain would have beaten Hillary easily.

 

Or else what, exactly?

 

Wasn’t Biden mourning the death of Beau? Thought that was mentioned in his book. Hillary’s biggest liability was ignoring the Midwest until the final days of the campaign, despot what people on the ground were telling her.

 

Seems like we have this discussion every 3-4 months here and generally have the same conclusion: Hillary's a smart woman (maybe smarter than hubby), but just isn't electable in a national race. Bad campainger and a lot of baggage thanks to the right wing screech machine.
