      Honestly, I thought the same thing about Obama. I didn’t think there was any way a black guy who’d been living in Chicago would win. But he did! You never know!

      Though I agree that the risk would be crazy high to run a black/Indian female president with a gay vice president. Maybe not this psycho election.

        Obama is literally the most professional and well spoken president since Clinton or JFK, possibly FDR. Like people he knew when he was younger were impressed with his ability.

          As a Massachusan I applaud your description of JFK as being well spoken. Too often does our nonrhotic profanity laiden dialect end up being maligned. It’s a wicked fucking tragedy.

          Never overestimate either.

          People had a rare situation where they could compare trump and Biden presidency side by side and still were saying that they are not sure who they will vote for.

            That has nothing to do with how many people hate Trump. That had to do with how many people didn’t like Biden.

            In case you hadn’t heard, Biden isn’t running for president anymore.

              The Biden hate was artificially manufactured. Similar techniques will be used against anyone else.

                See? Biden wasn’t uniquely poor as a candidate! Just look at all the chaos and infighting within the Democratic Party now that he dropped out! Just look at all the successful attacks Republicans have made against Harris.

                Oh, right. The party fell in line behind a viable candidate, and Republicans are flailing and nothing is sticking.
