Politico Says What We're All Thinking: What If Biden 'Just Dies One Evening?'
townhall.com ^ | 7/5/2023 1945 hrs | Sarah Arnold

The 80-year-old president has repeatedly embarrassed the U.S. by stumbling upstairs and across stages while also mumbling his words, making Americans question if he even knows he is the president.

Biden's health is such a major concern that even Left-leaning outlets question whether he is up for the job or not.

Politico columnist Jack Schafer demanded a stronger primary challenger for Biden— one that would toughen the president up and would "prepare us" in case he's "seriously injured" or "dies one evening."

Titled "Why Democrats Should Primary Biden," Schafer argued that the senior president is not up for a second term, suggesting California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) or Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg as alternative presidential candidates.

"Besides putting him in fighting trim (or not), primary adversaries would prepare us for the all too real possibility that he's incapacitated by a stroke, seriously injured in one of his frequent falls or another bike crash, or just dies one evening. It's not impolite or unkind to plan for the sudden departure of any employee," Schafer wrote.

The columnist also cast doubts that Vice President Kamala Harris would be able to take the reigns should something happen to Biden.

"If Kamala Harris had convinced the country that she could step into Biden's shoes should he suddenly step out of them, the argument for a primary challenge wouldn't be so urgent," Schafer added.

well Biden is simply told what to do and say.

Harris actually has a mind of her own (technically speaking shall we say—even though it’s very low functioning)

She will be much more difficult to control if she chooses to go off the rails.

Proof?

He’s going for the Hyman Roth award of dying of the same cancer for the past 20 years!

If the floodgates were opened, it wouldn’t be just those two jokers running. And the notion that Buttigieg could get through primaries with his issues while Secty of Transportation not sinking him is fantasy. Sure, the rat base is stupid, but I don’t think they’re so stupid as to not pick up on the fact that he’s completely incompetent

If he isn’t conveniently exiting quickly enough according to Plan A for the Democrats, it can be their Plan B.

1963
Nellie Connally turned and commented to Kennedy, who was sitting behind her, “Mr. President, they can’t make you believe now that there are not some in Dallas who love and appreciate you, can they?”

Kennedy’s reply – “No, they sure can’t” – were his last words.

P.S. If Donald J. Trump is not prevented from running in November, 2024 then he will be asked something similar. God forbid.

FDR....

Yes. He said to an aide: “I have this terrific headache.”
Later died of a stroke.

“Sadly, there are those out there that would be “otay” with carmela ‘fweedumb’ hawiss taking the reigns.”

Serious question: How would she be worse? Ruin the economy more? Spy on is more? Send more $$ and weapons to Ukraine? Arrest more J6 grandmas?

Serious question.

I think the left is so desperate and devious that they would ‘help’ Biden leave this earthly coil and then frame MAGA for it - so they could lock down, gun grab and finally criminalize being a Republican.

SO WHAT??? Yes we are screwed either way.

But really, Biden hasn’t done anything more than SIGN every damned piece of paper placed in front of him since day one. He is the biggest Liar and Divider of the country, but at least when he craps his pants he hasn’t left a stain on the ground. Yet????

The Dems trot the Pervert, Pedophile, and Sexual Deviant Biden out in public every so often just to show that with ENOUGH DRUGS even a corpse can “appear” alive. So at this point, does it matter if Kamal Toe rises to the top if Biden goes home to Hell?

Yea, we are screwed either way.

Question: If Joe does die suddenly, and Kamala becomes president, does SHE then choose her new vice-president and the Senate has to confirm them or does hse have final say on her choice? i.e., when Kennedy was shot and Johnson sworn in, did HE choose his new VP and receive Senate approval? I was young and can’t remember...

Biden is already dead.

Not physically. But, he’s mentally dead.

It happens. People can eat and walk around, and even read and recognize people, and sometimes respond intelligently to questions, but...

the mind is meant to be a lot more than programmed responses...

and being able to think on your feet and even think ahead, is not within Biden’s capabilities.

Biden’s mind is not capable of running a country. And come to think of it, neither is Kamala. But the reasons that she’s incapable, are not because her mind is gone; she’s incapable because she was born incapable.

Biden will be kept alive with heart transplant, kidney transplant, brain transplant, whatever is needed.

More likely he face plants again, on live TV overseas, when meeting some head of state. The US MSM won’t be able to censor it. It will indeed be viral, even here in the US.

Because today isn't yesterday nor is it tomorrow. And the time to tell time is when it's time.

Brilliantly well stated. Are you available to take Kamala's job if she has to move up to the Big Chair?

Looking at it another way, Kamala has advanced more in jobs and money than 99% of Americans. So she can’t be very stupid.
