Joe Biden Love Thread

Nah. Put DeSantis on a stage with Trump and Trump will eat him for breakfast.

Trump might get indicted.

No. Trump can't beat Biden. It's worse now than in 2020.

I feel like DeSantis is going to be a major dud. He's the hot-hand until he's on stage and the pack turns on him. The problem with trying to be Trump-lite is that the MAGA crowd wants Trump, and everyone else doesn't. Zero people want a half measure. And that Martha's Vineyard move is a political effup. It won't kill him, but it's indicative of other mistakes he's going to make.

Also he sounds gay. No shade but you can't be a fascistic rabble rouser and sound that soft.

I had to Google "Morton salt girl" and he's not at all dressed like her ... those are certainly some fancy boy boots though.

is it cause you don't believe there will be that bad of a recession or do you just think biden will win even if the economy crashes in 2023? It's hard to imagine him getting a second term under those circumstances regardless of who is running against him

Its because I think people are sick of Trump's ****. He only won in 16 by a handful of strategically located voted. Before anyone knew him, before Jan. 6. He can win the GOP nomination. He won't win enough votes in a general.

Re: the Recession, I won't pretend I know. But I really think there's a few economies right now. Some markets are overheated, others aren't. Housing is all but crashing, but eggs and milk are surging, while US gas is down $3. The recession should be easy in general. Though if you're in the wrong industry I think you're ****ed.

For politics, Biden keeps getting lucky. The GOP might blow a mid-term in which inflation is spiking, and the POTUS is ancient and unloved. Which says as much about them as it does Biden. I don't see any Republican that can both appeal to the base and the nation. Biden will not be bad enough - at this point in time - for anyone to replace him when they GOP freakshow hits fever pitch. A Qanon nut will do something stupid, or a governor is going to be shown as having done blackface, or a school shooting will happen, they won't be prepared, and they'll sink.

Obamacare and Abortion. The GOP wanted action for years and when it came time to speak to it, they failed. The Reagan Revolution is out of ideas. That's the assessment from Sept. 2022.

I think biden beat Trump because of covid. If we are in the midst of a bad recession I expect a similar fate for biden regardless of the opposition. He ran on not being Trump last time. I don't think that line is going to carry you as far when you are the incumbent and **** is on fire.

The UN just said something about the fed and other monetary institutions are dragging us into a global recession with the rate hikes. Things can get quite bad.
