US Joe Biden News Megathread - The Other Biden Derangement Syndrome Thread (with a side order of Fauci Derangement Syndrome)

Let's pretend for one moment that he does die before the election, just for the funsies. What happens then? Will the nomination revert to option number 2, aka Bernie Sanders? Or will his running mate automatically replace him just the way Vice-President is supposted to step in after the Big Man in the White House chokes on a piece of matzo? Does he even have a running mate yet?

A DeSantis/Trump would be interesting if Trump would allow it. The idea being you get a 'respectable' person as persident and Trump as a the attack dog in a honorific role. That is assuming people actually truly dislike trump as much as it's claimed. The post above about Baris seems to suggest that isn't the case.

I would be super surprised if Trump took the VP slot. No if a Trump/DeSantis run would happen it would have to be DeSantis who took the VP role.

Thats why I don't think it would happen, both men are way to egotistical to accept the lesser role.

Literally anyone that isn't the brain-dead corpse. Twp exists if they have determined there is no way they are holding the presidency. In which case, forcing Biden to run means they lose nothing of value at all. We'll be able to tell if this is the case closer to the election, because it would have to be paired with reeling back the spending.

Well, Trump is mostl likely to run again, I mean, yeah he is old, and 3 years is a long time in politics, but you think the Dems will just eat another defeat to the orange man, after they almost destroyed themselves to take him out in the first place.

Can't the Dems to just tell Harris to fuck off, she goes on TV and says that she doesn't think she can handle the presidency, and then let someone else with the job of being Biden successor? Maybe get Michele Obama, she is also black and has a vagina, so no harm done.

 

[XYZpdq]

I'm pretty sure DeSantis has indicated that he's more interested in being a successor for Trump when Trump stops more than usurping him.
Also iirc he's exactly said he wasn't aiming for a 2024 run as VP or Pres and wants to finish out the max as governor.
He's definitely showing a knack for being a sassy bitch at media and stunts like signing the "fuck wuflu demands" package of bills this past week at Brandon Honda in the city of Brandon.

Michelle has repeatedly stated she does not want to run. Methinks she has sensed that the time to grift has long gone, and it's better to make your exit while you still can.

 

[Snekposter]

Bernie's con game is way too obvious to be pulled for a third time

Yeah, but he's got a great meme game. "I am yet again asking for your support."

The real bloodbath would be both Biden and Trump being out of the picture.

You're doing a terrible job of convincing me a completely clean political slate is a bad thing. Might as well have both parties run 3-ring nomination circuses since this is Clown World.

has a vagina

I gotta press X to Doubt hard on this. To be more serious... do they have a choice that isn't finally taking the L? No seriously, unless they can get BBB passed they're fucked. And I can't imagine the sort of bribes it would take to get both Manchin and enough RINOs on board while still placating their own party members. Remember, that big infrastructure bill had a lot more RINO pork than those sorts of bills usually do, and I don't think the Dems can wrangle people into line for the next vote without also pissing off Manchin.

 

[Ishtar]

A trump-desantis ticket would work.

Desantis could play the more polished Republican that appeals to the upper middle class wine moms that find trump boorish. While Trump appeals to his core supporters amongst the lower middle and working classes.

Pence has damned himself with the Republican electorate and Rubio and Cruz have too much baggage as either RINOs or having opposed trump at one point in time.

 

[Corn Flakes]

That's the problem, though. It's not a completely clean political slate.

The Dems might not have a viable candidate against Trump so far, but Trump is currently the only one who can get enough Republican voters to get off their asses and give their party a win in 2024. The other GOP options are either career politicians most people don't trust, outright RINOs, or so low-energy and spineless as to bend the knee to the media barrage that would come after them the moment they declared their intent to run.

So without Biden the Democrats have to scurry to find someone. Let's face it, even with Biden they better scurry. But without Trump the GOP is in a much worse position. They can only win if they manage to harness this populist sentiment going through their base. A populist movement requires a charismatic leader who gives zero fucks, and there's an incredibly short list of people in the GOP who fulfill even the minimum requirements for that position.

If both Biden and Harris don’t run again in 2024, would Joe Manchin be a possible nominee for the Democrats?

 

[GuntPunt]

Lol, No partisan Democrat would vote him in. He would lose every primary but WV.

 

[CrippleThreat]

I wonder what generic Republican does against Biden/Harris comparatively. Is Trump or Biden driving the difference?

Both; how about Trump v. Biden? It's not some people love a good rematch, or muh underdogs.

Biden Believers won't, but those that shrugged in 2020 and voted for him want a return on those investments, per se.

 

[Roybertitos]

Yeah, he's such a 'legal expert' that he seems to have forgotten that a sitting president has legal immunity. So good luck with that one. That aside, he had best wait until the inevitable civil suits against him are over before trying to go after anybody

Apparently since he made those statements before he was president then his immunity doesn't apply. Although the article words it in a way that it's unclear if he meant after he finishes his term or he can sue him right now.

I think you miss a key element. If they are running Biden and it's at the Cabal's behest...

They don't think they could run -anyone- and win. They think the wind has turned against them to such a degree that nobody they could run would stand a chance. Which is... an impressive admission if true.

I think the Republican gameplan is to try and get 12 years out of Trump and DeSantis. Trump drives the Republican vote like no President since Reagan. His biggest flaw isn't policy but his abrasiveness turns away the suburban voter, which are a fickle voting block to begin with. If he can just manage to win back that group and not rock the boat, I don't see a Democrat that can beat Trump or DeSantis, outside of maybe Tulsi but the progs hate her guts. This is why I think they are going to send Biden out to get destroyed.

The problem is the appointment of a new VP would have to go through a 50/50 senate with no tiebreaker, so they are kind of stuck right now.

 

[MirrorNoir]

Who would be such useful tools?

Mayor Pete and Elizabeth Warren and Beto.

The former is gay and non-threatening plus white and doesn't have any major skeletons. Warren meanwhile has been groomed for ages, is a swamp creature by now, and radical enough for the lunatic left but with enough skeletons in her closet to allow the elites to control her if she ever gets uppity and goes off script. And Beto.... SOMEONE in the elites still thinks Beto is the future of the party and his willingness to say the quiet part out loud, makes him a viable tool for those elites who want to go full dictator with Beto as their frontman to do all of the shit even Biden can't do.

 

[Catch The Rainbow]

We would be in an amazing position if Trump was only 10 or 20 years younger. Assuming he wins 24, how much of it will be enacting his actual agenda vs fixing up Bidens messes? It feels like Trump's 2nd term goals are pretty much shot from the start.

 

[Equivocal_Iki]

And I can't imagine the sort of bribes it would take to get both Manchin and enough RINOs on board while still placating their own party members.

Why do they need RINOs? They just have to get all the not-Republicans on board and it passes.

 

[CarlosDanger]

Mayor Pete will never get the black vote to turnout for him.

 

[Snekposter]

Why do they need RINOs? They just have to get all the not-Republicans on board and it passes.

You mean... Manchin and Sinema? Anything that could get them onboard risks alienating the Progs. And anything that gets the Progs on board risks them voting against it out of job security.

I heard a rumor that Joe biden has ass cancer or some other kind and they are desperately trying to get Harris out before they unplug biden. It really say's something that this third rate rumor is believable.



Biden running for 24 is frankly impossible. I dont know who the hell would buy that, but I got a bridge to sell. Either its to placate the hardcore idiots or Biden just absent mindedly said whatever sounded good in his head.

Nobody would admit at the turn of Year 1 that they're not running in the next election. That's admitting that you're not really capable of the job already, at the start of your term.
