Biden sees Trump rematch as real possibility

Joe Biden is increasingly thinking of his possible reelection and a rematch against former President Trump.

"He knows it's a very real possibility," said one longtime adviser to Biden.

In an interview with Axios that aired Sunday evening, White House chief of staff Ron Klain said Biden is anticipating the possibility of running against Trump again.

"I wouldn't want to estimate or underestimate Donald Trump as an opponent if he chooses to run," Klain said.

The Republicans are so lacking in original ideas they'd probably renominate him.

He wouldn't even get close to being re-elected again--most of the country hates him. And, he can't run from prison anyway.

Not that I see him doing any real prison time, but of course he can run from prison.

See Eugene Debs, for an example.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1920_United_States_presidential_election#Socialist_Party

Socialist Party candidate Eugene V. Debs received 913,664 popular votes (3.4 percent), even though he was incarcerated at the Atlanta federal penitentiary at the time for advocating non-compliance with the draft during World War I.

Adulation is everything to him. I believe he'll also lose his hairdresser and tanning bed rights.

..."As a perennial candidate, Judd has thrice run for president in the Democratic Party's primaries, in 2008, 2012 and 2016. Each time Judd has managed to qualify to be included on the ballot of at least one Democratic Party primary or caucus."...(more)

There is no way they will drag him out in that condition.

5. I'm hoping he gets an incapacitating disease.

The symptoms would include an inability to talk, to use his hands to feed himself or tweet, inability to walk onto the stage at rallies, inability to change the television in his nursing home room from MS-NBC.

Oh, and he would be unable to wipe his own ass.

They are going to have to electronically animate him and use a ventriloquist. There is no way he will be in any shape to go through another campaingn.

How are you doing? Hope you are well!

I honestly don't see how this clown will be runnable in 2024. He is barely holding it together now. It makes me laugh when the repubs talk about him as if he were a powerful, viable candidate. Sorry, I just don't see it.
