Yeah, like that 8-handicap in golf.
That'll be true the day that obamas fly out my butt.
....... When Joe the Corpse brought that up in the debate .... I thought Trump was going to challenge him to a Golf match .... Kinda disappointed he didn't ....
.
Obama has spoken. Joe is staying
Looks like the official line about Trump from the liars is, Trump lies.
The liars cannot really point to any accomplishments by the old fool, so they think they can skate by accusing Trump of all Biden’s shortcomings.
They will circle the wagons.
The numbers won’t move, which will say the debate did not hurt Biden.
Just run out the clock. Early voting starts in Sept and ballots must be printed before that.
Political leaders are more often than not, carried out. Russia’s Ivan the Terrible and Peter the Great killed their respective sons rather than give up power. Trump ginned up Animal House on the Potomac in hopes of preventing Biden from taking office.
This isn’t a matter of ego. The presidency is objectively a huge prize. Entire armies have been butchered to secure similar prizes. If someone told you the lottery ticket in your possession had only a 10% chance of winning the jackpot, but if you gave it to someone else, that chance would increase, you’d have to be altruistic in an otherworldly way to hand it over.
I don’t recall who, but some pro golfer offered to host one yesterday.
If you are Biden, you are behind, but feel like you can turn it around, this is a deeply divided country, then why step aside, why give up power?
He would not only lose his shot at being a two term presidency but its an admission of failure, himself as the man doing the job, and his term.
That’s always been why I was iffy on the Joe stepping down deal. That’s a big plate of crow to make him eat.
I have been amused and disgusted by the Never Trump Freepers, known to be such from past posts, suddenly all self righteous about national security and Biden, or even all focused on good Democrat decision making.
They are Trump haters. Trump is changing the GOP from “a party of governance” to a party that holds the elite to be worthy only of contempt.
This was always the majority. Almost by definition. How can elite be majority?
But these guys with this sudden focus on Biden removal don’t care about Biden. It’s Trump they want removed via a stronger opponent.
There are times the elite will be given a pass. Those times are when things are working.
It never made sense to me the GOP didn’t adopt a more populist streak along time ago. How the heck do they see us winning states needed otherwise? The big idea was Jeb “please clap” Bush in 2016. I think that’d have been as big a disaster as MCCain. Trump has his warts, but at least he cares and no one can’t say he isn’t battle tested. He’s bee n perhaps the most beat up official by both parties I can recall in my life time.
The things going on now is madness. We don’t have time to deal with some kind of neocon dreams of forever wars when you got young people who can’t even see themselves owning a home, affording having children, even the cost of actually dating to make any of that happen. The forgotten man is becoming a forgotten nation.
There was a conception of the Democratic party where they stood for the working class and the idea people deserved a far shake. Their solutions was always tax and spend, the programs they created were greatly ineffectual, but it was ‘something.’ This is changed in wild ways with this woke movement/identity politics talking hold with Obama’s rise. The big pot of voters they try to patch together, they are in many cases at odds in reality.
Biden won’t even give us a vision of his second term. Is he serving til he drops dead, “well, after I’m reelected, 25th Ad me...” what about solutions, more of the same? This is not a serious campaign. There’s no vision and the system seems to be failing on every level right now.
