She needs to be able to run a two year campaign in four months. She can’t do that and learn how to be President too. Republicans want a single lightning rod to focus their attacks upon so they want Biden out of the way now. All the more reason he should have announced he wasn’t running after the midterms but anyway.Republicans saying Biden should step down now. I wonder if that wouldn't be a good idea for the Democrats. Harris may be more likely to be elected if people have had months of being used to her as president already.
Yes and she destroyed him in the debates.Wasn't Hillary a lawyer?
One of the rare cases where our opinions diverge and I hope I’m right and expect you also hope I’m right.No, I don’t think it changes the odds unless she can get young people and the base out and I’m not sure yet. All I know is that it makes Trump looks stronger which re-energiz(s)es his base and helps ensure MAGA shows up. And now he’s running against a newbie with no executive track record to lean on (or rather that will be the narrative).
I’m more concerned about how Biden stepping down makes Trump look good than how it makes Democrats look bad.
Again the irony meter just exploded.Identity is everything on the left.
I could list about a dozen reasons.I don't know why you dislike me so much. I like you a lot. Even enjoy your posts every now and then :)
Milquetoast, low energy, almost apolitical, behind the scenes, high quality individual.
The two things he certainly does NOT do is look like an obvious choice because he absolutely doesn’t scream presidential!
No one asked you :pI know why.
Potentially, yes. Pennsylvania leans blue anyway.Can he deliver the swing state's though?
The biggest surprise for me is that KY and NC have Democrat governors.Oof, good question. I think it'll ultimately be a boring, non-controversial white guy. So I could very quickly eat my own words because Shapiro fits that bill. The 2 that seem to be picking up steam are the governors of Kentucky (Andy Bashear) and North Carolina (Roy Cooper). Also Mark Kelly from Arizona. They're all fairly centrist and have won in Republican leaning or "purple" states which should theoretically help in the battleground states.
I can't see them pairing someone from the same state (California, so Newsome or someone of that ilk) or - and as stupid as this sounds and I absolutely hate that this may play into it - another woman (Whitmer), someone of color (Wes Moore from Baltimore who received some fanfare after the bridge fiasco) or Buttigieg, because he is gay and unfortunately doesn't poll well with some key demographics the dems will need to win. Which is a bummer because I'd prefer someone younger and exciting with good ideas, which I think Moore and Buttigieg generally are.
And after the last minute revival of nonsense about emailsAgain, two million more people voted for Hillary than for Trump.
She lost the election because of the Electoral College, on the tiniest of margins at that.
She won the popular vote. That is not an opinion.
