The president’s family members have discussed how he would want to end his re-election bid on his own timing and with a carefully calculated plan in place.

    If only people had forseen this possibly and argued we should have vibrant competitive primaries instead of having the strong contenders not run in the name of unity. Oh well, instead we let Trump dominate the news cycles like he always does and kicked the can down the road until the can started falling apart.

      Even on here 2 months ago, hinting towards biden not being a good option would get you destroyed and downvoted to oblivion by the “BoTh SiDeS” brigade. It’s amazing how quickly they shriveled up and blew away.

        They pretty quickly pivoted to their new MSNBC talking points.

        • “But why is no one talking about Trump?”
        • “No one else would have the incumbent advantage.”
        • “4 months is simply not enough time to get a new nominee ready.”
        • “You should have told us before the primaries that you didn’t want Biden.”
        • “Suck it progressives. This, like everything else that is my fault, is all your fault.”

        I may have embellished one of those.

          Lol they didn’t like you pointing it out. They rammed Biden past the normal process for making sure we have a good candidate and now want to say it’s too late to change.

          That’s behavior im used to seeing from the Republicans on climate change. And I’m really disappointed to see it in the Democrats now.
