Biden drops out

[dpic73]

Wow

I appreciate him but it was the right decision though interesting that he didn't endorse Harris. (Edit) He just endorsed her.

 

[BlueRidgedf]

Double wow

 

[UrHuckleberry]

Finally

 

[BlueRidgedf]

Well Republicans get what they want. Let's see if they like it come November.

Huh?

 

[BlueRidgedf]

Huh?

Trump would have beaten Biden. He may not beat the new candidate

 

[Orange&Purple]

He will smoke Kamala, Gavin or Gretchen. Unless they change the rules (which they have before) it has to be Kamala or they lose the money raised

Probably the best thing for the country.

Going to be a wild few weeks.

Mark Kelly from AZ

Hard to make everything about immigration against a senator from a border state.

Wasn’t he lucky to win his re-election? And what has he done significant in AZ

 

[UrHuckleberry]

I would watch the **** out of this season of West Wing.

 

[Orange&Purple]

Just endorsed Kamala

 

[Silverstreak02]

A Kamala-Buttigieg ticket would be good. Not exciting or dramatic, but good. And would be a sensible option.

The Democrats should've been preparing for this the minute Biden was inaugurated in January 2021. The reason they ran Biden was he could beat Trump. He accomplished that -- and then they didn't think about 2024 until the day after the first debate.

I like Pete but would prefer she pick Shapiro.

 

[Kelbo]

Without cheating, there’s not a snowball’s chance in hell Kamala could win an election.

I’ll double up the bet anyone here.

 

[Orange&Purple]

Two 1%’ers won’t beat anyone

 

[Silverstreak02]

We'll see. I've never seen anything like this lol

It just speaks to how disconnected party leadership (stretching use of leadership) is from reality that they seemingly didn't consider any other option than Joe.

What does lucky mean? It’s a swing state. He won about 5% more of the vote than the Republican challenger, beat a Republican incumbent in the first place.

What does any senator do for their state? They vote. I can’t tell you how Lindsey’s benefited SC at all beyond being a media blowhard

Again, not easy to run on immigration against him, can’t make it about age or “cognitive decline.” Trump would be seen as the older and divisive candidate.

Of course, the Dems will screw up and run Harris

really frustrating mindset. Because now you can’t lose. You either win, or you claim the other side cheated.

? Five points is significant in a purple state

 

[scotchtiger]

Kamala is a horrendous presidential nominee. For the dems, what about her do you like? She will now be the standard bearer for your party.

Obviously I don’t agree that its impossible, but I don’t think she’s the best option. She would be making a massive mistake if she debated Trump. He would obliterate her. If she can have an impressive showing at the convention and they can keep her separated from Trump, she’ll have a shot, but I agree its a long shot at least at the moment.

Still, election is 14 weeks away which is basically an eternity in modern day election politics.

He is not going to smoke anybody. It will be close, stop dreaming .

I don’t know anyone that likes her. Similar to Biden in that my favorite thing is that she’s not Trump. And that is sad.

Dude, you think Democrats cheated when Biden lead by 7 points prior to the 2020 election. Get your head out of the clouds.

 

[dbjork6317]

Personally, my favorite things about her are that she won’t implement any part of Project 2025 and won’t appoint conservative justices who undo decades of legal precedent.

Heads I win, tails you lose, the epitome of American conservatives

Wish we had a better option than Lindsey!

2% win and a 5% win…kinda lucky in my opinion

That ought to be a low bar.

Dems need to distance themselves from the current administration imo. Don’t give Trump anything easy to run on

Tim Ryan made a good case for her the other day

 

[KennyRogersRoasters]

Biden gonna be really pissed when he finds out he dropped out

 

[UrHuckleberry]

It’s honestly just too late for her. Similar to HRC, it literally doesn’t matter how good her campaign is, people’s opinions are made.

She won’t have to worry about Project 2025 lol

Trump just denounced project 2025. Called it part of the extreme right and he wants nothing to do with it. You guys are going to have to find another bogeyman.

[Orange&Purple]

What would you call a negative percent win?

5% or less…but hey, a win is a win. Just don’t trust Mike Kelly, but I wouldn’t vote for him anyway

Oh thank God. We know he'd never lie

Take the bet.

I think she could win. She polls better than Biden, most polls are within the margin of error and one even has them even. It's not impossible.

If the Dems attempt to pass her for another candidate, they will open pandora’s box on themselves.

Catch 22 here, for certain.
