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?
 
"Can you think of any president who has done as much in one year?"

Unironically FDR, you senile shmuck. Kennedy. Reagan. God knows LBJ, for better or worse. Fucking Abraham Lincoln was dealing with a war at this point in his presidency.
Fucking hell, even Dubya had No Child Left Behind AND the Patriot Act on the books at this point in his term.

Reagan, in literally a matter of months, with a majority D in the house and senate, reversed our military decay and brought us back to peer level with the USSR so rapidly it precipitated a collapse that the Rand think-tank didn't expect to happen for seventeen years, not eight.

Kennedy got our space program up and roaring: that alone absolves him of a lot of his misdeeds in my book.

FDR, as much as the guy was a tyrant left-wing dictator, got the WPA rolling and probably saved our asses prior to WW2.

Clinton had the smarts to let Greenspan and Congress run one of the biggest economic booms post '92 the country had ever seen.

I mean, fuck's sake, the implosion of Afghanistan? Corona basically now infecting everyone in the country? The fact that 40% of the currency in the united states was printed in 2021? The collapse of what's left of the middle class? double-digit percentage increases in the price of food staples? Unprecedented shortages?

Fuck this senile old bastard.

Reporter says voters have a problem with school closures and that the GOP could use it to win the suburbs.

"I think it could be," Biden says. "Maybe I'm kidding myself, but as time goes on, the voter who is just trying to figure out how to take care of their family and put three squares on the table and pay their mortgage and stay safe, is becoming much more informed on the motives of some of the political players and some of the political parties. I think they are not going to be as susceptibel to believing some of the outlandish things that have been said and continue to be said. Every president, most every president, has had polling numbers that are 44% favorable, but you all say one poll showed him at 33%, the average is 44, 45%, one poll had him at 49%...the idea that um...the American public are trying to sift their way through what's real and what's fake and I don't think that as...I've never seen a time when the political coverage, the choice of what political coverage a voter looks to has as much impact as what they believe, they go to get reinforced in their views, whether it's MSNBC or it's Fox. What I find fascinating and it will have an impact on how things move, is that, uh, a lot of the speculation in the polling data shows that the cables are headin' south. They're losing viewership. Fox is okay, for a while, but the rest are predicted to be not very much in the mix in the next 4-5 years. I don't know if that's true or not, but everyone has put themselves in certain alleys and they've decided that ,you know, how many people who watch MSNBC also watch fox except a politician? What gets covered now is different than what gets covered in the past. I have a couple...I shouldn't get into this. The nature, the way things get covered, it's my observation over the years, has changed from everything from the Internet to the way in which we have self-identified perspectives based on what channel you turn on, what network you look at, what cable you look at, and it's never quite been like that. Anyway..."
