He's guaranteed to lose now. I can't see a universe where the mental gymnastics add up to deciding that this is a good idea. Don't get me wrong, it'd be funny as hell. But I'm really not looking forward to the idea of more Trump.

    It's wild. He's not even fit for office right now let alone holding office for another 4 years starting 6 months from now.

    They're so fucked. The only candidate with any name recognition and popularity who could potentially replace him is Hilldawg and nobody likes her. It's so Joever.

      I think people seriously understate this part of the current political calculus going on.

      I put it as a coin flip right now whether or not Biden gets swapped out but if the party leaders and the media adopt the position that he is unfit to serve another term due to cognitive decline....isn't that an implicit acknowledgement that he is unfit to serve and should step down right now?

        Exactly.

        Its funny I was talking to my mom about it the other day and I said something like "I don't get why Republicans haven't tried to enact the 25th amendment yet" and she just said "Why would they? They want to win." lmao
