Oh yes, let's completely change the candidate 4 MONTHS before the election. That really sounds like a winning strategy. Let's get rid of the candidate that has been a Vice President for 8 years and is the sitting President of 3.5 years. Let's replace the candidate that has done more for the US than any other republican president. Let's make sure we replace Joe Biden so that the psychopathic dictator wanna-be 'donald the con man trump' can be installed as our illiterate king. That's going to solve all the problems we have. Finally Democracy will go away. And Freedom will end. It's about time, how boring and valueless those things are. Women can finally become property again, and all the non-white people will be deported. Everyone will be required to attend church on Sunday and give 10% of their income to the church. No more alcohol, parties, sex. We will finally be a moral land again. The christian version of Sharia will be implemented. Wages will be the lowest in history and we can finally build walls around the nation to keep people out and Americans trapped inside, just like East Germany used to be.
Personally I'm voting for Joe Biden, even if he is in a COMA! I value my Freedom and Biden has been doing a great job for Americans.
If all the Democrats and "liberal" news stations and pundits spent half as much of their time bitching that Biden should drop out on figuring out WHO should replace him this wouldn't be such a problem. If they could just agree on a new nominee maybe Biden would consider dropping out. Because right now Biden has to consider it when there's no alternative.
People suggesting Biden drop out without a plan on how to proceed are doing the Republicans' jobs for them. Or they are Trump supporters.
Clooney is a Trump supporter? Not sure 🤔
RIght?!?
Ahh man its ssoooooooooooo cathartic to be in this moment after the past 8 months. Nature is healing.
I don't necessarily disagree with your overall point, but it is kind of insane that we think 4 months is way too late to change candidates, when other countries do their whole election cycle in a month.
As Jon Stewart and many others have already pointed out -Two of our closest allies just recently managed to announce and host national elections in a matter of weeks. It's nothing short of absurd that we allegedly can't even field a new candidate for a single party in the course of four months.
Are you going to vote for him if he isn't the nominee?
He will be the nominee.
But will you vote for someone else if he isnt?
Dude is just as much in a cult as the Trumpers are in theirs.
Got real quiet didn't it.
