In reply to the discussion: What the hell is wrong with you people, are you purposely trying to set us up to lose this election [View all]meow2u3
(25,002 posts)25. I was a 7 year old kid the last time Democrats switched Presidential nominees
Nixon's dirty tricksters hounded LBJ out of the race just before the Democratic National Convention, ultimately choosing Hubert Humphrey as a replacement for Johnson, who dropped--or was pushed--out of the race. The Vietnam War was the excuse and Nixon cruised to victory.
Biden is right to stay the course and resist pressure to drop out of the race just because the media is hounding him with rumors and harassment about his age. But what about Trump's age? Biden's old enough to be Trump's brother, not his grandfather. And I know why the conservative press is harassing Biden: to get him out of the way so Trump can waltz into the White House effectively unopposed, simply because Trump--the darling of the press--can't beat Biden.

American voters just don't do landslides anymore. That is unrealistic of Schiff.
