As I predicted Biden will not run. Now, remember my 2nd prediction re Trump. [View all]

My earlier post:

Biden is NOT going to run, imo.

I also think that Trump on SNL means he will be dropping out, too. Both Gore and McCain hosted SNL knowing they were NOT going to run again.

I think corporate media tends to be WAY wrong about most things, and sometimes DU follows them blindly.

Of course, I could be wrong, but, I doubt it in this case.
