Originally posted by revo View PostI would be willing to wager that he's not the Dem nominee in '24. I don't believe any Dem will primary him, but I would guess he finds a way not to run.
Edit 2: Too bad Elizabeth Warren will be so old then, too. Best candidate in my lifetime.
Edit 3: If it ain't Biden, I bet it will be someone we aren't yet considering, similar to the unexpected rises of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.

Originally posted by Sour Masher View PostWarren is seven years younger than Biden and also younger than Trump (and the same age as HRC), and women age better and live longer than men, so I don't see age being the primary reason she won't be a contender.More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.

Originally posted by revo View PostThe problem with that - although not an incorrect opinion -- is that it's been proven when the sitting president gets a serious primary challenger, his party loses the election. It's undefeated, actually:
1952 - Truman vs Kefauver -- Kefauver wins NH, Truman drops out, Ike wins the job
1968 - Eugene McCarthy & RFK primary LBJ, who wins NH but by a small margin and then drops out. Nixon wins
1976 - Reagan takes Ford the distance. Carter wins
1980 - Edward Kennedy beats Carter in a number of big states. Carter loses to Reagan
1992 - Pat Buchanan made it a race vs Bush Sr, opening up for Perot in the general. Clinton beats them both
I would think the Dems are smart enough to know this, and so it would make sense to convince j.biden to declare he's out, or throw their full support behind him.
BTW, I thoroughly enjoyed political science pre-TFG. Now instead of analyzing why candidates win or lose, it just boils down to either the GOP 'rightfully' wins or "the Dems cheated".

Still don't think there's any chance he makes it through his entire term.If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

President Biden visited Pittsburgh today to talk about infrastructure. So, guess what happens just hours before his visit to the city of bridges?
A bridge collapsed Friday morning in Pittsburgh’s Frick Park, causing five vehicles and a Port Authority of Allegheny County bus to crash down into a ravine. Ten people suffered minor injuries, including four people who were hospitalized. Some of the people hurt were first responders who slipped and fell.

ISIS leader Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi was killed in a "successful" U.S. Special Operations counterterrorism mission in northwest Syria Thursday, President Biden and the Pentagon have confirmed.
Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said there were no U.S. casualties. Al-Qurayshi detonated a large amount of explosives during the raid, killing himself, his wife and some of his children, according to U.S. officials.
"Thanks to the bravery of our troops this horrible terrorist leader is no more," Biden said. "Our forces carried out the operation with their signature preparation and precision and I directed the Department of Defense to take every precaution possible to minimize civilian casualties."“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

The January jobs report, which was expected to be quite dismal thanks to omicron, actually proved to be one of the high points of his administration, with 467,000 jobs being added after only 150,000 were expected. And of course, silence from the "jobs" party.

Don't know where to put this, so I'll put it here since it was *intended* as an attack on Dems:
Yes, Dan Bongino actually used a study done by WalletHub and transposed the results or, some doofy intern wildly misread it and no one else bothered to fact check anything. The "Top 10 Unhealthiest US Cities" are in fact the "Top 10 Healthiest Cities." LOL, you can't make this stuff up.
