I know it may be petty, but making Biden our candidate and America's next President

would be the best repudiation of the man in the White House now. And it would be a signal that we all want to make America great again.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

Although he might find it especially galling to be beaten by Obama's vice president, since he hates all things Obama.

Or a woman who is also not white and was an early associate of Obama.

We have so many options that clearly indicate our dislike of him, and no matter who, just being beaten will be pretty devastating to his poor excuse for "masculinity". Assuming he doesn't manage to flame out before then, of course.

It would be especially galling for ol trump to be ousted by President Obama's VP.

But, whomever the Democratic candidate turns out to be, whether it's Biden or not.. we're going to make sure the asshole Liar will know that America rejects his white nationalism, and selling her down the river to fascism and dictators.

20. He is not a "macho" anything
Sun Sep 22, 2019, 08:01 AM
Sep 2019

A person who doesn't dare to fire someone face-to-face unless he is in a TV show is no "macho". The fact that he has an infatuation for what people call "strong men" doesn't make it a "macho" in my book. A "macho" man doesn't invent "bone spurs", a "macho" man does his duty. If I was given a college quiz to list the creature's "macho" actions I would fail miserably, that would be a straight "F" because there is nothing I can think of that would merit his earning that title.

And we should all stop calling him "President", one has to earn the title and he could never earn that title.

24. Trump has committed the 2 most unpardonable sins in politics
Sun Sep 22, 2019, 06:38 PM
Sep 2019

First of all, he went after Hunter.
In all of political campaigning, the one line not to be crossed is to leave family members out of the campaign rhetoric. By going after Hunter, Trump has crossed that line, turning Joe from a sharply spoken candidate, into a protective, enraged father. Not someone that Trump is going to want to face on the campaign trail. Which leads into the second point...

Trump has made this personal for Joe.
By making it personal, it goes from being a campaign to a blood feud. I have no doubt that Joe will do everything he can to totally humiliate Trump and make him an international laughingstock, who will be publicly rediculed, even by his base, when Joe is done, whether he wins the nomination or not. Because when something like this becomes personal, it doesn't matter how you do it, you will get your satisfaction.

primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
