The 81-year-old president said he’s bowing out after remaining defiant for weeks in the face of calls to withdraw from the 2024 race.

    Biden was far better of a President than I thought he’d be. But the way our dumb media works, and the way our elections are done, there is almost no way he was going to win after that debate performance. Then pile on the performances after that.

    Trump and lie, lie, lie and openly state he’s going to be a dictator out for personal vendettas and the “liberal media” is going to maybe mention that, then move on to talking about how frail and senile Biden is. Even if he’s only lost a bit of his edge.

    Let’s have a primary of sorts, and pick the candidate that can most likely WIN.

      See, that’s the issue with this country. There is a dude who dry-humps all your moms without their consent, and calls her a removed, on one side, oh, but the dude who is trying to stop the dry-humping is the one who’s not good because “the debate!!!”

        I really don’t see how this has any real negative effect. A large portion of voters would vote for my dog over Trump, and every one of those voters will happily switch over to Harris. And now we have a sharper more energetic candidate to win over the rest. And everyone always says a month = 10 years in politics, so 4 months should be plenty of time.
