Thank fuck. This man can go down in history as the savior of the Republic if he fucks off and endorses someone else.

My concern with him leaving is who would replace him???

My worst nightmare, is the hag from 2016 returns. She’d lose again, guaranteed, and before you say no. The signs are there, she’s been getting her face out there and testing the waters. And she still likely has the money/clout to buy another DNC nomination.

I think that even the fucktards at the DNC realize that we need a fresh face.

Too late. This entire system has been based on taking away your choice. No primary in my state because there’s only one candidate. Can’t possibly outraise the incumbent.

“Who else would you pick?”

We will never fuckin know because choice was taken from us.

All we need is a charismatic person and the country will vote for them. The American people can not stand uncharismatic blowhards and yet Dems keep trying to shove them in our faces. They are obsessed with tradition and this “my turn” bullshit. Enough is enough already.

Newsome is charismatic but would be a hard sell to Georgia and the Midwest.

Whitmer would be good since she’d motivate more women to vote and would do will in the Midwest.

Harris is right out. She has negative charisma.

Raskin has charisma but he’s an old ugly white guy. Wouldn’t turn out the youth vote.

Jeffries would be a good pick if he had started campaigning a year ago.

Stacy Abrams is in the same boat. If she had a year to get more name recognition she’d have a chance.

Aoc, Crockett, and moskowitz are good back benchers but won’t be ready for a few more years yet, if ever.

If I had to choose it’d be Whitmer. She has the fewest negatives, as long as there are no skeletons in the closet waiting to come out.

Here’s a recent poll where Michele Obama came out more than two margins of errors of ahead of Trump.
Also, here’s a pile of salt.

Yeah and give it two weeks and they’ll all poll worse because the spin machine aimed at them.

People are deluded to think a fresh face is gonna be better than the incumbent.

I’d vote for a bag of Biden’s toenail clippings over Trump. Stay in the race or leave, I don’t really care, so long as they’ve got a winning strategy to follow. Trump has done enough damage to this country - let’s not give him another round.

I wish only the best to not-Trump, whoever that ends up being.

Many, many shitty scenarios. No clear answer as to what the right choice is and if we lose well always be second guessing what could’ve been.

Anyone telling you this is an easy choice, or is speaking with absolute confidence is full of shit.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
