There was no talk for Bush to step down after his bad debate in 2004 Polybius Jun 2024 #21

Bush is a Republican. Plenty of talk about Obama stepping down in 2012. He's a Democrat. emulatorloo Jun 2024 #33

So if Joe or Trump had a heart attack or a stroke and were hospitalized, they couldn't be replaced? Really? Doodley Jun 2024 #41

Obviously if they were dead, they would be replaced. However having a bad cold isn't being dead, obviously. emulatorloo Jun 2024 #49

Please. Get back to us when that happens. brush Jun 2024 #52

My family (excluding any Republicans) are not divided on this issue. They all think Joe should step aside for the good Doodley Jun 2024 #39
