RP: "Step aside for someone else as the party nominee"

He doesn't have the power to do this. He could release his delegates and suggest that they go to someone else, but Kamala still has the edge in this case.

Yes. I guess that is what I mean. In the scenario where donors like someone else over Kamala then this option would fit that.

But I agree - if he does decide not run for re-election, I can't see it going to anyone else.

I mean yes he does. If he drops out and releases his delegates they can do whatever they want. Is semantics I Guess

good luck to anybody trying to replace any of the DPW/RPW candidates in the 2028 Presidential races before both conventions are finished

I'll give him credit for acknowledging the writing on the wall and putting his ego aside. Something Hillary Clinton failed to do.

Hillary was ahead in the polls and almost everyone's predictions to the end.

I am proud of him for dropping out. He has accomplished a lot in his decades-long career and I didn't think he would drop out. I am an Independent who leans right politically but I don't think someone like Donald Trump, who is charged and convicted on a lot of felonies and says all the stuff he says should be in the White House. I get that presidential elections aren't personality contests but by being president you are also a role model to the American people. And someone who's in a role model does not do all the things that Trump did. So I will be gladly rooting for whoever the Democratic nominee is in November (probably Harris).

Appeared to insult Trump supporters by calling them "garbage". This reminds me of the time when Hillary Clinton called Trump supporters deplorables.

Wonderful timing by Biden. And have no doubts Republicans will be making the most of this in the next few days.

It's just a joke, bro. Don't be so offended and woke. Freedom of speech.

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is also distancing himself from the remark. I think that these two are doing it for political reasons, but personally I agree with them. In this heated political environment, the last thing we need is politicians, regardless of what side of the aisle they're on, fanning the flames of division. President Biden should've been more careful with his choice of words there.

Racists are garbage.

If that is a hot take to you, then I have bad news for you......

E Pluribus Unum: Racists are garbage.

Don't get me wrong, I feel that Trump is indeed racist garbage. In fact, he's way worse than just racist garbage. And his biggest supporters enable him. But that's for a different conversation. All I was saying was that POLITICIANS who have significant sway over the public, especially the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, shouldn't be adding more fuel to the fire. And that shouldn't be controversial. But apparently it is.

The fire he is fueling, being.....RACISM IS GARBAGE. ooooooOOOOoooOOoOoooOOOOOo

It isn't a different conversation, that is LITERALLY what Biden called out. Trump OK'd a guy at his rally calling Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans garbage to hundreds of people, which was cheered by his supporters, then called the people who did that GARBAGE. In fact if you look at the official transcript of the remarks he says "The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter’s", As in THE garbage they spew. And yes Trump supporters spread MASSIVE amounts of Garbage. I am currently cursed with living with some of them.

I am SICK and tired of coddling Trump Supporters like ****ing infants, they can say all the **** they want "gay people are pedophiles" "latinos are rapists" "hatians are eating your pets" "muslims are terrorists", they can joke about Biden/Kamala being kidnapped and Paul Pelosi being murdered; but when anyone REMOTELY calls them out, the fingers are wagged at us for being "DIVISIVE". The Left and Liberals are the ones who are supposed to just sit there let them say whatever the **** they want then come over to THEM to bridge ****ing divides. **** THAT BULL****

Trump and his supporters have had 8 ****ing years to prove they are not deplorable pieces of garbage, AND THEY FAILED.

 
D:10973Patrick ( 6.56 points)October 30, 2024 06:08pm
We all agree his supporters are garbage, Biden's quote most likely included an apostrophe when it's being reported as though it did not, but yes this every Democrat needs to disavow this epic flub or I'm voting for Rapey Mc****shispants

Oh ok. Even after seeing news reports, I originally wasn't aware of that apostrophe in the transcript. In that case he is absolutely correct. That's an error on my part.

But I still do believe that there shouldn't be more fuel added to the fire, regardless of which side is dumping it. I understand your concerns about MAGA's rhetoric, as over here in my area there's already rumors of voter fraud and they're already preparing to reject the results of the upcoming election (if Trump loses). I've seen people lose friendships over politics, especially more so nowadays, and it's very saddening.

Believe me, I feel you and I understand your concerns. It really sickens me that people can just blindly follow a man with dozens of felony charges and the crap that he spews. But all we can do right now is just hope for the best, and hope Trump goes down in November.

Congresswoman and Michigan Senate Nominee Elissa Slotkin becomes the third politician to condemn Biden's remarks. Another politician from either a swing state or in a tough race that does this (in her case it's both). I wonder how many more are going to comment.
