Good God you're deluded

Yeah I'm sure it was "just a glitch."

Just give him one more shot!!! I'm sure he'll do great this time!!!

How many percentage points do you think their numbers would increase after winning the nomination and becoming household names?

Amen

And they all lose to Trump in polls.

Perhaps that'll change if they get nominated and thereby get introduced to the American public in a big way. Perhaps at that point all of America will fall under the spell of the raw charisma of ... Andy Beshear. Or perhaps not.

Suspiciously overkill, probably a Russian spy

Yep, the 20% are all members of the Heritage Foundation

"A woman, a POC, or any thing else outside of the straight white male archetype will lose to Trump in today's climate."

That's not true. Polls show Michelle Obama would completely destroy Trump -- unlike every other prominent Democrat, all of whom lose to Trump if we take current polls at face value. Not that Ms. Obama has any interest in running, and not that we should necessarily take current polls at face value, but it's still noteworthy.

The point here is this: what matters here isn't race or sex, it's star power. Trump has star power on steroids. Practically no Democrats, other than the two Obamas, have the same star power.

Really? I don't see it. Don't get me wrong, I would fully support her, but I don't see any huge charisma differential between her and most other politicians

Man, this guy is really obsessed with his little model isn't he?

How about you respect them? https://www.axios.com/2024/06/29/biden-democrat-candidate-replacement-poll

Doctor's orders. Biden is old and lonely, and this is a good way of getting out of the house

I hope they start filing lawsuits making it "extraordinarily difficult" for Trump to replace anyone as President

You're referring to the electoral college. This is about delegates for the DNC, not the electoral college.

They're not exactly "required" to do so. If Joe tells them to do otherwise, they will do otherwise. They're loyal to the Democratic party, not to Biden.

Too bad for that amendment. If only Biden could run for a third term and be president until he's 90

"she'll have next to no time to really campaign. Not properly."

In almost every country in the world outside of the US, candidates have roughly this much time to run a campaign.

Nah, the fact that he's even considering it means it's over

Guess we won't get to experience Joevember

If they go that route, I wonder if the best way of doing it is for Biden not just to back down from the 2024 ticket but to actually resign from the current presidency, thereby making Harris the president (first woman president, pretty damn exciting even if you don't like Harris personally/politically) and letting Harris run as the incumbent. It'd presumably bolster Harris quite a bit. (Even Allan Lichtman, who wants Biden to stay in because of the incumbency advantage, would have to admit that Harris would then technically have the same advantage!)

cool, thanks!

Interesting. Do you mind sharing a link to that internal polling? I'd be super curious to see the details on that

Let's nominate Lloyd Doggett for president! He's only 77!

I think the opposite -- the people defending the ruling are arguing that the critics are being absurd because ... um ... well, they just sound absurd, damnit! I mean, assassinating political rivals, how absurd! That's misinterpreting the ruling because ... um, well, it's just so absurd! Not realizing that what's absurd is the ruling itself.

This includes the conservative justices themselves, who write in their majority opinion, "The dissents’ positions in the end boil down to ignoring the Constitution’s separation of powers and the Court’s precedent and instead fear mongering on the basis of extreme hypotheticals about a future where the President “feels empowered to violate federal criminal law.”"

Zero counterargument given against the "extreme hypotheticals," just saying they're so "extreme," oh my! I mean, someone like Donald Trump would never order the assassination of a political rival, oh heavens no!

What I mean is, your interpretation of this ruling is that Biden can have Trump assassinated and be immune from criminal prosecution for it?
