Now that we have the Republican question mostly answered. What about Biden?

Is there any scenario, barring the grave injury, that Biden isn't the nominee?

I've been speculating that he's the nominee against Trump. But if Trump were unable to run that Biden might step aside for a more electable Democrat.

He seems strong against Trump but consistently losing against other Republicans. Candidly Biden approvals aren't great and poll after poll show "someone else" preferred.

Thoughts? Who could step in this late in the game? Who gives Ds the best shot absent of Biden?

I honestly don't believe Biden is fully committed to a 2nd term. Of course, it depends on who the GOP nominee is, but he could drop out in the middle of the primaries, before Iowa, NH, or SC, or even before the convention, and essentially handpick is successor. He just doesn't look healthy, he knows that, independent know that, Democrats know that, and Republicans know that.

There's no scenario barring death where he's not the nominee. I think some of your questions are a bit loaded, assuming he's only he's only strong against Trump but none of the other Republicans. I think Trump is, unfortunately, the GOP's best candidate and he's already lost once to Biden. I don't see the other candidates in the GOP primary beating Biden while simultaneously trying to appeal to so much of Trump's base. (As an aside, if the country is okay with Trumpism so long as it's not from Trump, then I really don't care who ends up winning) None of these guys have any other independent or crossover appeal of, say, Kasich in 2016 or even Christie before he became one of Trump's biggest supporters and surrogates only to turn against him...

But if I play along in this scenario, though I think Biden is the most electable right now, if he's not around then VP Harris, Mark Kelly, Raphael Warnock, Shapiro, Beshear, Roy Cooper, Steve Bullock. No shortage of people who would be strong general election candidate and capable on the job. But even if elected their approvals wouldn't be strong either, just the nature of our current political culture.

Wait so you are telling me when the podcasters who profit off of the Marianne bid told me that Marianne will pull a '68 Primary bid and win massively in New Hampshire forcing Biden to drop out were not being honest?

Nobody would beat Biden in the primaries. If he were to bow out for whatever reason, it is hard to imagine the nomination going to anyone other than Kamala Harris even if she would not be the strongest candidate.

Are we really sure these ~20% of Democrats are really supporting Kennedy or are they just saying that in the absence of other competition against Biden?

Doesn't take a rocket surgeon to see the major difference between the 2

The man purposefully entered a race that would be skewed against him SPECIFICALLY to complain about it, lmao

Any word as yet on when every single Democrat with a public profile in the USA stops supporting Joe Biden on the very same day, and they all begin supporting whichever cypher (Gavin Newsom?) is actually going to be the nominee next year?

I'm thinking April, thereabouts.

I'm just curious what people genuinely believe will occur (rather than what outcome they'd prefer):

Will Joe Biden be listed as the Democratic nominee on the November general election ballots?
YES 12 (92.3%)
NO 1 (7.69%)

Exactly what do u mean by that?

I keep hearing Far-Right people say this but what exactly do u mean by that?

Like is this a slight at his health or r u insinuating that there is a plan to replace him? Because if it is tha latter; why would they not have been pushing for a replacement to Biden up to this point?

 
R:7206Hikikomori Blitzkrieg! ( 756.11 points)January 20, 2024 08:02pm
I don't have any idea how this will be accomplished.
But I suspect the Democratic nominee in November, will be someone else.

Why do you believe something based on literally no evidence...

I think ur the one who is judging this based on an outcome you want

 
R:7206Hikikomori Blitzkrieg! ( 756.11 points)January 22, 2024 04:38pm
no evidence

LOL, it takes "evidence" to make a prediction now?
I'm sorry if my suggestion that an 80-year-old man who's clearly suffering from dementia might not win the election, is disturbing to your worldview.

Imagine literally admitting that you base ur worldview without evidence then walking away thinking you are winning. lol
