What if Biden was the better candidate all along?

Tuesday, October 22, 2024

With the Nov. 5 election just over a fortnight away, here is an intriguing thought experiment. By most accounts, the election is still a horse race too close to call. But although Vice President Kamala Harris quickly assumed the presidential mantle from Joe Biden and put in place an impressive start-up, October has not been particularly kind to her. Donald Trump has closed the electoral gaps, and some believe he is actually leading.

Another lame op-ed lamenting things that won't change designed to create doubt in democratic voters to make them stay home.

Pfft.

Biden certainly was a better candidate for P01135809.

The "better candidate" will never be asked to run.

That's not how the Empire works.

This from the guy who demanded Biden quit the presidency. Why anyone takes you seriously anymore Jeff is astounding to say the least.

I'm of two minds on this topic.

Part of me think the Democratic Party over reacted to the July debate, Trump is a constant shht show and republicans have never wavered in their support for him.

Had Biden made more public appearances after that debate to prove to the nation that night was a fluke, he could possibly be in a better position than Harris currently is.

But then there's the fact republicans are better at messaging than democrats and they would have used that debate to attack Biden, every day since. Also. I'm not sure if Biden is doing better than he was that day.

The election is in two weeks. Best of luck to America.

Some believe in aliens or ghosts or angels and demons.

What If?

What if a frog had wings?

Then it would not bump its arse so much!!!

Our local dog catcher would make a better candidate for President than twice impeached convicted felon lying narcissist criminally negligent Humpy Trumpy.

Well, you'd still be you.

And all your problems you blame on Bell?

You'd still have them.

Was I talking to you, Beverly?

I don't think so.
