Will Biden step down?

[ramblin]

Yes. They should have brought in Newsome as their candidate in 2020 or atleast brought him in as VP. Would have been easier this time around.

Because the Democrats couldn't have 2 white guys on the ticket. I'm not saying that's right, or wrong, but they felt they couldn't and it apparently worked as the Democrats won the last election. Also, why would Newsome want to play second fiddle to Biden vs. first fiddle in California which provided Regan with a direct path to the presidency.

I don't think VP is a direct path to being President.

VP's haven't been that successful in becoming President.

- Mike Pence
- Joe Biden (took a break)
- Dick Cheney
- Al Gore
- Dan Quayle
- Walter Mondale
- Nelson Rockefeller

To date, I've seen nothing which would require invoking the 25th, but seen enough to believe the Dems need another candidate for November.

July Tenth congress returns. This should be fun to watch.

The nation didn't elect a team to run it for him.

But, everyone knows it's a team that runs the government. Led by a leader. No one IRL thinks it's one guy. If you have to google IRL, then give up.

Impeachment is a mugs game. I told that to a guy sitting at a Sushi Bar in Dallas in 2019 when he asked me what I thought of Trump and the Democrats wanting to impeach him. That was after I told him I was Canadian and had no right to comment as I didn't have any skin in the game.

He pressed me so I said it's a "mug's game". He didn't know what a mug's game was, so I told him a game you can't win, you have to beat him in an election.

My same comment to the Republicans. Beat him at the ballot box. And it's not rigged, just beat him.

The Democrats are working as a team. Which makes far less dangerous than the dictator psycho.

Actually what you said is counterintuitive. Think about it. What's more dangerous? The team that works to hide something as big as this with the power of the liberal media helping to conceal it. Or the lone wolf held in check by other branches of government.

That's a refreshing thought. Beat the guy who is allegedly destroying democracy rather than rely on Colorado or a Manhattan D.A. to take him down.

Where was this Biden last night?

Remember he is a stutterer and his slipups here are actually stutters.

If it is because he had the teleprompter then why did the Dems insist on the debate where there was none?

Something is wrong in the state of Denmark (Shakespeare)

Biden should have the dignity to resign from the race but his backers would lose their jobs
and tell him not to IMHO

And hair and make up just had a bad night. Otherwise he was fine. Except for the "being a living corpse" bit. As Nicholas Kristoff pointed out, all over America people are having the discussion with their aged parents about taking away the car keys. It's not just one bad night he is having.

Trump was eating Joe's lunch today at a rally

 

[WyattEarp]

Gavin Newsom stands out as a strong contender. His articulate, he's polished, the ladies will love him and in debates suggests he could effectively counterpunch Trump with facts and a healthy dose of reality.

I am not exactly sure a Presidential Candidate Newsom wants to campaign on his California record. While economic issues tend to cut down the middle, I don't think Americans will like Newsom's regulatory, cultural and law enforcement policies.

I'm not exactly sure how progressive California Democrats are vis-a-vis Canada's Liberals, but I sense they are copacetic on some issues and Cali Dems would be considered bat shit crazy on others up North.

Sorry, but do you think that Biden is destroying democracy? If so, how?

 

[ramblin]

She was elected with the full knowledge that she would be a 77-year-old's heartbeat away from the Presidency.

What changed? Its that everyone realized the mistake of hiring someone purely for superficial appearances.

She was never elected as VP, she was appointed as the VP candidate on the Biden ticket and was thus elected when he was elected.

Still, if you refuse to listen to Trumps lies Biden has done a good job by most honest measures
and Trump was a horrible President. I would think that is because Biden defers to the experts and Trump does not

Biden was awesome today. First, he had his teleprompters. Second, the audience could have energized him. Last and foremost, elderly people have good days and bad days. Some younger members might not have had daily experience with elderly relatives. The effects of ageing are not linear from one day to the next. It's not even linear one hour to the next. It's very sad to see it and watch it before your very eyes.

I totally agree. However more than 50% of Americans listen to Trump's lies.

You are watching too much U.S. liberal media and being spoonfed their POV. I'm not going to bother explaining because you should be asking someone here to explain why Americans are not universally happy with the Biden Administration.

I presume if you haven't asked that question you are not asking the big Canadian question.........why isn't Trudeau more popular?

Biden had committed to choose a Black woman as his running mate. That promise was part of how he won the nomination; if he didn’t keep it he would have had a major problem with his base.

I don’t recall who else was being considered at the time as his running mate but Kamala seemed like a strong choice at the time.

I think Kamala gets an unreasonable amount of hate from the public and I’ve never understood quite why…but I never understood why Hillary got so much hate either and look what happened to her.

Gramps was having a good day. Chillax. Good to go until age 86.

In our system, the Vice President is viewed as being elected into that position along with the President. It might seem to not make sense, but that's kind of the legal interpretation of the VP position.

Americans let conservative talk show hosts and fox news tell them what to think . It is obvious Trump is a liar who says moronic things

Trudeau is not a great leader. Like most countries the least of us lead the best of us in most positions of power
