Yeah he’d win easily, beshear would win easily. But instead the dems will allow Kamala and have a great chance at losing. I think politically she’s better than Biden at this point, because she’s not half dead but how much more will be interesting. Would love to see a debate.

Hopefully she at least picks a strong vp candidate. I know beshear has been bantered about.

It can't be Gavin Newsom for the same reason Trump couldn't have Rubio - you can't have two people from the same state on the ticket. I'm not sure what would happen if Beshear did resign to become VP as far as who becomes Kentucky's next governor.

Another name I've heard as a VP candidate is Roy Cooper - he's the outgoing governor of North Carolina who's term limited and wouldn't be running for any other office right now.

What’s Cooper like? I honestly don’t know anything about him.

Beshear was a little extra during Covid, but other than that he’s decent. Even pretty strong republicans in this state don’t hate the guy. Impressive to win as a dem when there’s a Republican super majority in the legislature.

Mark kelly would be interesting as well. Someone who actually fought for our country vs a guy who wrote about it

Maybe he still thinks it's Michelle Obama and Paul McMillan on the same ticket.

I do and have been for a couple of years now. Are you suggesting that is laughable? Just google her name and see what is suddenly at the top. However, by no means did I ever want it to happen and pray that it is Harris. In case you haven't noticed, Obama ideology is destroying your country funny man.

The McMillan reference is just stupid and no longer relevant, but people tend to like a guy that was Ohio POY, scored nearly 3000 pts and had a perfect 4.0 GPA.

We shall see if Haley was prophetic when she stated the first party to retire their 80 year old candidate will be the one to win the election.

I don’t like Kamala, but it may be worth her winning just to see Xumaga and Lou’s heads explode.

All political postings shall go here until further notice. When the aftermath cools down, perhaps we will go back to the old way.

The optimism in this original posting.................

These clowns act like they've seen the last act in this orchestrated play.

Biden's removal from the campaign was a strong possibility a year ago, and became inevitable after the debate. Every Democrat knew he couldn't make it to the finish line. They used the debate to start their coup. Only the naive refused to see the screaming letters on the wall.

So yes, you deserve the credit for being the first on this board to predict Biden would drop out, and apologies from the clowns with their snark comments.

And it's not like the rumors of Big Mike coming in to save the day aren't out of the realm of possibility at this point. Take a look at the betting odds.

Kamala is not their answer. There's still one more act in this coup. Nothing is real with these traitors.

At the start of his statement, Trump also called Biden "the Worst President, by far, in the History of our Nation."

The act of blaming another person for your own mistakes or shortcomings rather than accepting the blame or criticism yourself is called deflection. This type of defensiveness as a coping skill is commonly used to angle or direct the focus or blame away from ourselves.

Perfect.

Republican logic:

Then….Biden’s old and can’t handle the job
Now…It’s illegal for Biden not to run

Lord only knows what they’d say if he dropped dead. He has to be on the ballot ?

Then....Biden is sharp as a tack and just has a stutter
Now...Donald Trump is the oldest Presidential nominee in history
