Biden and Hillary are almost equally hated here as succ dems but y'all gotta realize Hillary Clinton is (and had been for decades) like one of the most hated people in America. She is literally the worst political candidate of all time. She lost to a reality TV joke protest candidate.

And Trump couldn't even beat her in the popular vote!! Trump is a pathetic candidate who is only in office because of Hillary Clinton. All of this poo poo is her fault. The only way Trump wins in November, after carrying a <40% approval rating for four years and nosediving the economy, is if Biden picks Hillary as his running mate (not a zero chance), so actually I guess white women can give us 4 more years of Trump

The problem isn't that Trump is going to get elected, the problem is that Biden will get elected and do basically the same poo poo as Trump

There isn't going to be an election. If there is, and Biden wins, Trump will declare fraud and refuse to leave office.

People keep hollering about how Trump can't just refuse to leave office when the only thing that guarantees a peaceful transition of power is tradition, and Trump is very specifically surrounding himself with people with no other qualifications than personal loyalty.

i honestly believe trump would leave and just make a big fuss about how "rigged and unfair it was and actually, people are saying he won" on the way out the door

he doesnt love the job, he loves the attention and his audience will go with him

america now has a show in which you go on television and hope you are skilled enough to flatter the president enough that he'll help you not die.

"please help me mister president" is all about the right looks and the right attitude.
this week is "nurses" who made two critical mistakes: they didn't send anyone from "central casting". your "nurse" must look like a candy stripper from the 50's, leggy, angular blondes will go far
and, worst of all, they corrected the president. that kind of "i know stuff" attitude is heavily discouraged at PHMMP. if you say you know stuff that might give someone the impression that the president does NOT know something. this is not allowed. at all times the operative phrase is "we're looking into it". the president's ideas are always breakthrough ideas that no one has ever looked at before and you'll get on that immediately!! follow up not needed.

so sorry nurses, you didn't do nearly as well as the evangelicals or kim kardashian. maybe you'll get another chance next month if the president is still acknowledging that the virus is still around.

Biden is 1000x worse than Hillary who actually ... campaigned ? and not a lot hahah

tying it into covid trump will get a huge bump for his successful handling of it and Biden won’t be able to tackle him at all. Bidens response so far (he’s been invisible mostly.m) is to say trump should be more heroic and go after China ?

If I was Biden I'd be staying as low-profile as possible until November. Democratic presidents have always been happy to keep the neo-liberal machine chugging along, while trying to cause the least possible upset to the Republicans.

That's not going to be an option for the next 4 years. The country will still be dealing with the fallout from this pandemic in 2024.

He has been 'running for the presidency' since 2000 as a publicity stunt.

The man is an attention-seeking internet troll. He stayed in the 2016 race because the stream of attention took him with it.

He will do whatever he thinks gets him the most attention, because that is all that matters to him. If pointing at Joe Biden and smugly saying "you're fired!" will get him the most attention from his fans, he will do it.

The GOP is a top down organization and the strategy is disseminated to the base via Fox News. His voters have been talking about how Democratic leadership is illegitimate and that they want a thirty year Trump dynasty. That isn't a mistake and they didn't come up with that independently.

lmao do people still believe this poo poo?

Biden's brain is pudding now. That was almost 10 years ago, and he's very very old. There is no vivacity to him anymore, and he's not going to own anyone (besides Bernie who is a bad debater and was too nice to his old pal Joe).

Trump is going to get between 43-45% of the popular vote and he's going to win, if there's a general election held.

If any sort of realistic estimate of today holds true there's not going to be an election in November. Not with half a million dead bodies and tens of thousands dying every week.

Nobody watches the debates or cares about them, especially when it’s two boring politicians like Biden and Ryan.

The election was still very close.

It was a bad thread and even the thread at that time admitted that the Diamond Joe poo poo was stupid and Biden was relatively ineffective against Ryan. Even if he did say “malarkey” and “bullshit” a couple times when Ryan would propose some bird brained Ayn Rand poo poo.

To call Biden “Obama’s Dagger” in 2009 would be profoundly strange and it certainly hasn’t gotten better in the last 11 years.

Gary Johnson is also crazy and racist. Gary Johnson might even be stupider and more dangerous than Donald Trump. You are in red America. Nothing changed. I live in a red state too. Republicans have been comfortable with their racism, sexism, and violence as long as I've been alive.
