We survived the prior 8 years...
It is easy to survive 8 years of growth, declining deaths in war, declining poverty, declining crimes, etc. Obviously, the first few months of Obama Era were EXTREMELY rocky as were the last few months of the Bush Era, but after that things started getting better.
We are currently in collapse, and the scary part is worse may well still be to come.

Hello Woko Haram,
Much to everyone's surprise.
And none more surprised than DT himself.

Hello Woko Haram,
Sounds like fantasy.
Biden knows exactly what he is in for.
He waited quite some time before making his commitment.
He knew exactly what that meant, knew how big a decision it was, did not make it lightly. When he made it he understood what it entailed and knew he would have to be 100% in it for the long run.
It is extremely doubtful he is dropping out.

Hello domer76,
We must always remember that the people who post here in this forum are not proportionally representative of the nation.
We are just a tiny fraction of people who can put up with a really rough forum that most people want no part of.
Most people don't even want to talk about politics at all.

Hello Woko Haram,
It makes total sense. It is exactly what he has done his whole life. He markets his name. His name is his brand. He figured out a long time ago that it doesn't matter how you do it but if you get your name in the news it is free publicity and any publicity is better than none. He believes that people won't remember the details of a bad story about you, all they remember is the name. The more he gets his brand name out there, the more business he gets.
He was pretty bad at business, lost a billion, then he got it through his head that his name was worth more than his business acumen. That is why he began to sell his name. Most of the Trump Towers all over the world are owned by somebody else who paid to have his name on it.
He only ran for the free publicity. He knew that if he stayed in the race longer he would get more publicity. If he was very controversial, more publicity. It's like every time his name is mentioned it is another dollar in his pocket.
It makes total sense that he would run for president with no intention to win.
He did it many times.

Hello T. A. Gardner,
A completely incorrect assessment of President Obama.
He accomplished what no one before him could do, what everyone thought no one could possibly do. He reformed health care. That was no small feat. He polled at 67% in mid 2009 for skillfully guiding us out of economic peril. Fully knowing that health care reform was the third rail of politics he forged ahead anyway. He knew his polling would fall but unlike DT that was not his main consideration in every decision. He made a goal and he accomplished it.
President Obama gathered a great team, and he listened to them. He didn't fire people just because they disagreed with him. He very carefully considered all the great advice and made careful decisions, often taking longer than people would like because he wanted to make sure he was making the best decision. He totally did not think he was always right on everything. Obama was a great president. He even picked a Republican Secty of Defense. And he reached out to Republicans, invited them to the WH. Obama said in his book "The Audacity of Hope" that he wanted to rekindle the friendly respectful rivalry politics of decades ago. Back in the day Republicans and Democrats would argue things on the floor during the day, then share dinners and drinks in the evening. They were friendly with one another. There was a mutual respect. Newt Gingrich killed all of that. D's and R's stopped talking, stopped socializing. Barack Obama tried very hard to resurrect the previous mutual respect. Republicans rejected his olive branch, were determined to make him fail. Their goal was to never give him a chance, try to make him a one-term president. So stated and attempt carried out but failed.

Hello Woko Haram,
Bolton said that as he was asking for Xi's help in the 2020 election that Trump told Xi he was hoping to get the constitution amended so he could serve more than 2 terms.

Hardly a great accomplishment. He passed Obamacare on a near total party-line vote--a rarity for major legislation that is nationally popular--taking up nearly the first two years in office doing it singularly to the exclusion of almost everything else. When implemented, it was a disaster and the butt of national jokes. Since then most of its provisions have been gutted or rendered impotent even as the legislation still stands.
It also failed to accomplish any of the goals it was pitched as fixing. The percentage of Americans without health insurance remains about the same. The cost of health insurance and care rose, rather than fell in its wake.
It also caused him a major mid-term defeat and loss of both houses of Congress crippling entirely any further legislative success because Obama was utterly and completely unwilling to compromise with the now Republican majority in Congress. A more competent President would have seen that problem and overcome it, like Clinton did. He successfully compromised and got more done after losing Congress. Obama failed utterly and completely in the face of having to work with others. Instead, he turned to half-measures and work-arounds like executive orders most of which are now invalid.
You can claim that, but the record shows his administration was rife with incompetence and lethargy. I think the Benghazi debacle and subsequent botched and amateurish attempt to cover it up to save face say it all. Even Michelle Obama's initiative to "improve" school lunches was a massive disaster. It wasn't that the two parties stopped talking to each other, as much as it was Obama and his administration being Progressive and Leftist simply did what the Progressive Left always does. Their position on everything was What's ours is ours. What's yours is negotiable. That's a total fail position in a government where compromise is necessary.
Sure, Obama got reelected in part on the very large Black turnout for him, and in part on the Republicans running a 'tard of a candidate, Romney. Regardless, Obama was still ineffective domestically and internationally because of his inability to compromise, his lack of personal willpower to get things done, and I think a certain amount of messiah complex believing that his words alone were enough to move people to do what he wanted. All-in-all, a mediocre president at best.

Hello Phantasmal,
I do not see her as a war monger, but if Biden were to make this choice it would tempt the conservative part of the middle away from DT.
No big. It would never happen anyway.

Hello T. A. Gardner,
You are entitled to your view. I agree the ACA was a sellout to big insurance and big pharma. I disagreed with the compromises which had to be made to get that across the finish line. And that was compromised by the untimely death of Kennedy. I was disappointed in Obama for making those compromises but that was his choice. I also thought he should have been more in touch with America. I would have liked to hear from him more. Not every day like DT, but more like FDR. Obama was such a great speaker. I also thought he should have taken more initiative on race relations. He didn't want his presidency to be about his race so he stayed away from that, especially after the beer summit PR. That was a mistake. I was also disappointed that in pursuing the ACA he gave up all of his political capital and had to abandon his other platform planks, namely reforming education and energy. We needed those things as much as health care. After all of that he now polls higher than DT ever did.

The heroes and icons of the conservative base just keep getting dumber and dumber. George Dumbya Bush. Sarah Palin. Donald Trumpf.
It is almost as if they admire stupidity.
I personally am putting money on Ted Nugent being the GOP nominee in 2024.
