Should have drank regular rather than diet
Yeah why would you tell a MAGA crowd you can't handle sugar its a sign of weakness. Never show weakness. Never apologize. And they'll love you for it
with every passing minute i'm getting convinced of the dead biden theory. he wasn't there to greet his great friend bibi at the airport. and in a few days, kamala, not joe, meeting bibi in the white house.
Question to people here: do you think that Biden resigning the office now would be better for Harris?
Or should she focus on the campaign and avoid any missteps as the actual president?
(Not saying that Biden should resign, just curious what you think).

He was never going to welcome Bibi. At least I hope that he doesn’t. Bibi coming to give a speech is bad enough.
Based on nothing at all I feel like the polls are going to shift pretty heavily in Harris' favour in the next few weeks.
Again, this is based on nothing don't @ me

I think she talks too fast, she needs to learn to pause in the right places in her sentences. You never see Trump rushing through his speech even if he's talking utter rambling bollocks, he's always pausing for effect and letting the crowd catch up.
They will be the first tangible polls about Harris’ viability so we should know a lot more than what we did from the previous hypothetical ones.
The guy that introduced Vance for that lukewarm speech suggested a civil war was necessary if Trump loses.
So that’s fun.
So that’s fun.
I wasn't painting water lillies over here. I'm discussing an administration that has presided over some of the worst attrocities ever recorded, with scenes of abject horror, including endless scenes of mutilations, starvation, murder and sexual humiliation. I'm sorry if I offended your sensibilities.
Someone wants to be Veep
I guess he does.
His stand on guns from 2020 would hurt him. It won’t resonate with many swing voters. I would pass.
Biden is canceling trips and will be staying longer in Delaware. I don’t know if he will be able to finish his term (6 months left).
He, of course, has Covid.

Wow
11 point swing on independents
Yeah this brings Southern parts of the electoral map into play that looked lost for Biden. Going to see all new attempts to steal the election from Trumpists too. The push to purge voters will shift into overdrive
As long as most of them are in those swing states.
I like him but no, he's lost way too many times and Texas won't turn blue just because he's the VP.
Trump has lost every time since 2016. Even then he lost the popular vote. He lost the house and senate in 2018, lost the WH in 2020, and the red wave was a trickle in 2022 and his picks in PA and GA lost. Some of his picks in smaller elections since have lost in deep red districts. He doesn't even run on anything now other than revenge and denying he knows about Project 2025. I hope he gets absolutely destroyed but his ego makes him keep going as the GOP front runner. None of those cowards will stop him
Democrats. 7 million more Democratic votes than Republican ones in 2020. Youth is heavily tilted Democrat. Dwindling elderly population who votes Republican is dying off. Harris has appeal for young, female, nonwhite, which was seen as an area Biden had lost support.
Americans did, though. Clinton got several million more votes than Trump, it was the electoral college that screwed her.
His voters aren't where the election will be decided.
Mark Kelley would be a great VP: Navy veteran, astronaut, wife Gabby Gifford’s was shot by deranged constituent, Arizonan.
Why Wow? Is 40k tuning in for an zoom call impressive for someone running for President? Genuinely have no idea about zoom numbers and what that equates to but 40k seems quite low out of context. Could be a record for all I know though!
He could definitely go toe to toe on a stage with Vance and make him look like the twat he is

CoupSpeaking of conspiracy theories, Biden didn’t even bother with a televised, statesmanlike announcement for his campaign withdrawal. Instead, he tweeted it with a digitally generated signature on Elon’s X. How classy! This wasn’t just an insult to the American public—it’s the latest act in the coup happening right under our noses while we’re being told that democracy is on the line.
"Guys, I'm dropping out of the race. I talk to you about it sometime next week"
President of the United States
You have officially lost the plot.
Except as @WI_Red mentioned, the Dems would want to hang on to a D Senate seat in AZ, and Kelly becoming VP may result in a special election where an R could pick it up
To that… Cooper in NC has to leave office anyway due to being term limited
Katie Hobbs, the governor, is a Democrat and would appoint a Democrat to serve out the remainder of Kelly’s term. There is only a special election if the office holder dies, like McCain did. Kelly was also a registered Independent until 2018, which undercuts any Republican argument. I don’t honestly think Kelly would trade his Senate seat for VP, though, because it’s a useless gig and will probably spoil his own chances for President (should he even want it).
I just like the match up: DA with a combat pilot/astronaut running mate vs. convicted felon rapist draft dodger and hillbilly .
My only issue with Cooper is he can't seem to talk properly. Buttigieg and Newsom do. Cooper sounds a bit old and antiquated, which in addition to his southern accent, may not connect at the national level.
Probably going to be between him and Shapiro. Kelly looks like a solid VP candidate though. Ticks the white male box and has credentials out side of politics that dwarfs Vance's achievements (a book?). Depends how worried they are about losing PA.
I’m not sure this is true. Per the AZ constitution:
Since he would have to resign to run, technically the next general election would be this November. Not sure what would really happen.
Edit: I read the subsection D that was mentioned and as we are less than 150 days out it would be in the next general election, Nov 4 2025
I did. Maybe something has gone over my head but 40k joining a zoom call doesn't seem newsworthy, let alone impressive. Why did the CEO need to get involed? Is he the only one that can increase the limit of people allowed to join?
Possibly a worthwhile risk if he can get Harris over the line.
