If not wanting my president to be an invalid makes me an ableist…guilty as charged! |
Totally. Except she'll lose to Trump in a historic landslide. And she is the only alternative at this moment in time. At this point, if Trump actually picks a sane and competent VP, people will breathe a sigh of relief and that's it. There's no chance either Biden or Trump are functional or alive enough to make it to January, 2029. The next VP is where the real power lies. |
Ignorance and stupidity is how we roll in modern day American politics. We want a Trump vs Biden rematch. We voted for this. |
+1 The NY Times is definitely not conservative media. |
As president, you can’t just take 6 months off whenever you adopt a kid. |
If Trump's VP pick will be a black person, we will have another black president. This is the appeal for majority of his black voters. |
FDR was an invalid too for his entire presidency. |
Not exactly liberal either. |
Have you heard of Franklin D Roosevelt? |
He won't pick a black person. It will be Sarah Sanders, JD Vance or someone like them. |
He already has two and I’m guessing is done. |
The GOP has traded high frequency voters for low frequency voters. That’s why Dems keep over performing in non Presidential elections. They’re losing state govs faster than you can say state governments. And we’ve learned that State governments is where the power resides. This presidential election is a toss up. If Trump can get these newer voters to the polls, he can win. If Democrats can get the double haters & uncommitted to come home, Biden wins. |
FDR had a fully functional and astute brain. His disability was not walking. Biden has a rapidly declining brain and probably some kind of Alzheimers. The partisans are a DNC bot farm rushed out to forums across the nation to gaslight people that all is fine. The irony of the party that spent years accusing the Trump and the Republicans of "alternative facts" and misinformation and disinformation now being the party desperately using alternative facts and misinformation and disinformation to try to gaslight a skeptical public that Biden is just fine. If Biden is just fine, then all he has to do is to campaign like a normal presidential candidate. Live interviews, no prescripted questions, warm up the crowds, go everywhere, engage with the people, all the usual campaigning that even HRC was capable of doing and still is. But he can't right? And why not? You tell me. |
I hate to say it, but there is zero chance that an openly-gay candidate could be elected president in the current climate. |
I don't think it's inconceivable that Biden, if he has a disastrous performance during the debate, could be replaced during the convention--especially if it is clearly age-related. |
