Biden drops out

[CRedskinsRule]

I am excited and I hope that the Democrats put someone who is not an extremist up as their candidate. They need someone who will garner 66.6% of the votes with no questions and leave the extremists on either side crying.

I will add that this puts him up there with George Washington in my books and I know that's a High Praise but he's stepping down instead of trying to run for political pride or to maintain his brand. Is putting the good of the country first. More people say oh George Washington blah blah blah keep in mind George Washington was very oldand died within 3 years of stepping down so he was in a similar state.

from google ai:
"
George Washington was 64 years old when he stepped down from the presidency in 1796 after serving two terms.*At the time, he was also dealing with both physical and political issues.*In his farewell address, he urged Americans to prioritize the nation's interests over their political and regional affiliations"

Why I think it's too little too late it's the right move.

[sdskinsfan2001]

Wow, I'm shocked. Hat tip to him for doing the right thing.

I give credit to the Democrats realizing that it was time to move on, a little too late but they are moving on. Again it's time both sides move .

I'd love if Trump followed suit, and said it's time for a new era.

But I'd add the caveat, not until democrats say it won't be Harris or Newsom that runs next. Anyone else vs. Vance, let's go.

Unfortunately it looks like it will be Harris who imo is the 2d weakest option (after Biden). Sorkin had it right this morning in his op-ed/ If they were really serious about stopping Trump they'd have nominated Romney.

I happened to read that article too (Sorkin). I don't know who the choice would be after them. Can't imagine it's Romney though. Actually, I can't imagine it not being either of those 2 altogether, anyways.

But, I also didn't expect Biden to drop out. So I'm just guessing.

SD you do know if Haley was the nominee over trump, the exact same people would be in here calling for Democrat to run a Centrist.

The problem here wasn’t the age of Biden or the debate…it was the polling and big money donors. If Biden was polling stronger, then they would have supported Biden going forward no matter what. Regardless of him being a retarded fucking vegetable.

The problem was Biden's age, which is why the polling numbers were very low for him. The debate just highlighted people's fears about age being an issue. Watch interviews from 4 years ago, and watch one now. There is a noticeable difference. Biden said his plan was going to be a transition President and only run one term. Now, I don't know who talked him into trying to run again, but they didn't do him any favors. Biden was smart to drop out, it cemented his legacy IMO.

Complete fucking failure of a President, maybe the worst of my lifetime sans Jimmy Carter

This is the Democrats own making as the scandal of hiding the President’s condition the last two years from the American people (with the media assisting as always).

Instead of primary and letting the voters decide…Dems revolt and let elites, donors decide ONLY after the polls look bad.

Let’s be honest for once, if Biden is leading in the polls NO change happens….just like George Washington, an embarrassing statement.

that's my point, if the Dems put a moderate who is respected on both sides of the aisle candidate up, they would have a landslide victory.

Unfortunately, Harris isn't a moderate. I don't think she could beat Trump. Any Republican would, but they won't do that so they better nominates someone who has a least a modicum of appeal to Haley voters and other never Trumpers. I'd Suggest Kelly or Shapiro.

What is Harris exactly? She got her job on the merits of being a minority female, not because she did anything remarkable legislative wise.

Seems like she's getting the nom not because she's the best person for the job, it's because the VP card is a big one to use. I wish they would go open season and debate it out with the top 4-5 candidates to pick the best for the future. But I fear it's gonna be 2016 all over again where half the Dems want someone else and the political elite Dems are determined to put a woman in office.

Anyways I agree - this increases my respect for Biden because he's done enough to deserve a 2nd term. But stepping down after his term is up is showing respect to America who deserves better than an 80+ year old leader (and I would say this even if Trump was a moderate - 80 year olds should not be in the most powerful position in the world). I just wish he had figured out a plan a year ago when we could prepare for this. Now they're just going to wing it and probably end up with Kamala and people are only gonna vote for her because the alternative is horrible.
