Thank fuck. This man can go down in history as the savior of the Republic if he fucks off and endorses someone else.

    If he bows out, I’ll breathe a sigh of relief. In a way, it doesn’t matter if he had a cold and jet lag during the debate, and he’s tip-top now. In fact, I’ve watched footage of him since the debate, and it seems to be true. He’s back to his normal self.

    But the political damage could be too much, regardless of his actual health.

    At the same time, if he doesn’t bow out, I will gladly crawl through broken glass to vote for him.

        There is someone in office right now whose only real job is to step in if the President can no longer do the job. Remember her?

          Kamala Harris has the elect-ability and personality of a potato that you left on the counter for too long and it grows eyes.

            I compare her more to broccoli or peas. Nobody’s favorite food, but gives you the proper nutrients to fight fascism. Now shut up and eat your peas.

              If it’s Harris we’re toast. Plain and simple. If I’m proved wrong in that, no one would be happier than me.

                Polls show her doing as well as Biden.

                The thing that’s going to win this election for the democrats is abortion. Harris might be good on that aspect of the race.

            Yeah she isn’t inspiring, which is what we need. If she came out today, though, and said she will bring the law down on the GOP’s corrupt elements… That might win enough hearts and minds to stir folks out to vote for her. And a good VP pick would inspire further confidence.

            But she would really have to hit the ground running and improve her image.

        Buttigieg, Newsom, AOC, Kamala, etc, etc, etc. take your pick from any of the prominent Democrats.

              “And in a historical turn of events, every member of the DNC over 50 has elected to just…not vote this November. Calling it a once in a generation political upset, mainline Democrats have almost unanimously elected to…not elect anyone. One such non-voter was on record not outside of a polling station saying ‘I can’t in good conscience vote for someone who actually seems to stand for something. It’s just not what you’re supposed to do as a Democrat and it’s not in accordance with any beliefs I might have had, if I had ever decided to have any.’”

            Yep, I had checked her age the other day because I knew she was close. I don’t think all the right of center Dems like Biden and Pelosi would get behind someone that progressive. They want someone that is going to play the both sides game, and play everything safe and like it’s 1990 and we don’t know that in 2024/2025 Republicans are going to try to burn the whole thing to the ground.

          ABSOLUTELY Has my vote. But we have to wait a cycle or two for the old fucks to die off before she has a real chance.
