I would wager that he's having major marital problems, and that's what he's thinking about.

Thanks for the thread Rhiannon

It's going to take a generation to bring us back to a democracy, if we get the chance...

It's going to be touch and go, depending on how effective the cabal is in installing their fascism, whether we get or democracy back.

7. And I feel doubly bad since President Biden worked so hard to clean up the mess that TFG left the first time

So who would be willing to step into the mess this time? We have no frontrunners this time around, assuming we'll have another election.

We have a deep bench though is there is...Govs Pritzker, Moore, Beshear, Whitmer (although some are disappointed in the greeting of trump on the tarmac). There's also Gov. Newsom, but some think him being from deep blue California is a negative. I like Rep. Jamie Raskin too but the jump from rep. to presidential candidate is a long shot.

Frankly, and this is controversial, a white male candidate takes away a good portion of trump or Vances support with the white, male working class who went bigly for trump.

And I particularly admire constitutional scholar Jamie Raskin, but I think we need him right where he is, educating Congress. *sigh*
