    It means he didn't get in an Ivy (specifically Penn), or a near Ivy. And Trump is mortified.

    YEah, he's gotta a little golf prick/fleece vest/Youngkin in him when he tones down the wingnut.

    Holy fuck, stop with it was the meltdown, not the debate that is the crisis. if elected, Biden has to govern for four more years. It’s clear he cannot. Which means we are functionally being asked to vote for Harris. But folks don’t like that. As an intellectual argument that’s both flawed, and kinda misogynist.

    Those of us that have lost a parent to mental decline can attest to the way it seems to accelerate from “Grampa is slowing down but otherwise good” to “we need to take away the keys and start calling retirement homes”

    In fairness, Democrats are deeply despondent right now, so good luck getting a depressed but guaranteed to vote (i.e. most of this page) on the phone right now to spend 15 minutes answering polling questions.

    Latter. Too soon to have the Kamala/Gretch/Newsom discussion.

    I realize this isn’t helping things for our collective psyche , but I’ve had two professional calls TODAY with clients where we are discussing the Biden administration in past tense. Like lame duck past tense. And not with wingnuts. I’m not the only person. This is occurring all over town.

    Este. You either run like a young man or get the fuck out of the way.

    I just don't see how you get Gretch on the ticket in a competent fashion. All this talk of a rocket primary is fantasy. The Democrats couldn't get laid in a whore house on pay day and we are expecting them to have a primary without blowing themselves apart? That's why it's almost certainly going to be Harris and some very anodyne Red State governor like John Bel Edwards or Roy Cooper. The only alternative I can come up with is the President drops our at the Convention, the whole thing is done behind closed doors, and you end up with Newsom or Gretch at the topic of the ticket, and Harris agrees to stand down for something else.

    Rita Moreno can still get it, tbh.

    And a hawk tuah.

    I realize you are a troll, but come on man: We got the 25th Amendment (and possibly WW2) because of Woodrow and Edith Wilson's pigheaded-ness.

    This. LBJ chose not to run partially to help the party, but mostly because his ego couldn't handle losing to RFK. And then RFK was murdered.
  16. Bateshorn
    JFC. We should be having an empathetic conversation about using the 25th Amendment, instead a significant part of the Party is saying: "Well, if I squint just right and hold a prism up, I think I can see victory in November" What. The. Fuck.

    I do. They are all moderate Democrats now. My Aunt and Uncle voted GOP their entire lives until 2018 and they are both Democrat voters notw. Why the fuck do you think Dems are doing well in the Suburbs? It's not because we've got great lawn care tips and bake a mean enchilada casserole. We've picked up every Republican we are going to convert over the last 6 years. Running a senile old fart isn't going to drive those converted voters to the polls. Much less the sliver of indecisive "independent" dipshits that actually swing elections in WI, MI, and PA. The Biden Campaign's pitch of "Our meat is less rancid than the GOP's meat" isn't going to help with Moron's Who Vote(TM) who probably have golden tinged memories of Trump and think Uncle Joe is a drooling old fool.

    Let's say instead of showing clear mental decline, he threw up on himself. And everyone saw he threw up on himself. Do you know how fucking stupid you would sound if you said: "It's the media's fault they showed him with puke all over his shirt and tie?"

    This. I’ve been voting since 92. This year, when I walk into my DC precinct, where my vote is largely meaningless, will be the most hold my nose and vote for a candidate I don’t believe in during my lifetime. And that includes John Fucking Kerry.

    My eyes and ears saw the debacle in Afghanistan. My eyes and ears saw him swinging his dick around about Biden Bucks and then inflation took off. My eyes and ears saw his unwavering support for Israel when a core constituency in Michigan is Arab, and Netanyahu is openly pining for Trumps return. My eyes and ears saw a year of clown car negotiations about IRA before it came to fruition. He’s had a monumental presidency, but it’s also had some serious peaks and valley’s. I’m politically plugged in and understand each of those things I listed is a nuanced, complex conversation. To the half wit independents who are going to decide this election, he’s the inflation guy who is Old. As. Fuck.

    That letter is straight up “Fuck you, pay me” The “you had a chance and chose not to run and I won the primary is such bullshit”. I’m sure Gretch, Newsom, Pritsker were calling around last fall looking for finance and got a stiff face palm from the BMDs, because the Biden people were twisting arms.

    I have a French friend who told me that due to the two rounds of voting, it’s pretty typical for the first round to be “Vote your heart” and the second to be “vote your head”. Macron was gambling the Left wouldn’t unify and his party would be the beneficiary. That didn’t happen, but the French turned out in droves to vote against the far right.

    For the idiots in the back: BIDEN WAS NEVER WILDLY POPULAR, EVEN IN 2020!!! He’s lagging Dem senate candidates in swing states because they don’t like Biden despite hating the GOP. The campaign and Dem leadership trying to gaslight the nation into Weekend at Bernie’s is fucking insane, and an indictment against both his person, administration, and party. It’s essentially the equivalent of political climate denial. You can’t claim the Democrats are the party of serious governance when they are running a man in clear mental decline who will have to actually president for 4 more years if elected.

    The problem with this analogy is Biden crushed a dinger during batting practice (friendly crowd, teleprompter). Last night he went 0-4 with a double play, two 3 pitch strike outs, and a weak come backer.

    If I'm being 100% nihilistic, it's good for me as well: Next time I have to deal with some entrenched agency career official who is screwing a client, I can pretty much point to this decision and say "You got some specific statutory language on which you are relying, chief? Cause I don't think the courts are going to buy your "Because I said so" defense."
