    He couldn't beat Ms. Clinton either.

    No way.

    Impossible.

    Can't happen.

      So much can happen in the coming year - with the economy, world events, Biden's gaffability, Trump's legal issues, etc. While both candidates "should" win their primaries, it is not a safe bet on either side.

        We focus so much on Biden’s age but remember Trump turns 77 in June, is morbidly obese, eats junk, and doesn’t exercise.

        Only non-witches get due process.

          He sometimes drops by golf courses to look around and say hi.

            He golfs, but when you use a cart that’s not much in the way of exercise.

              @jon-nyc he also shags porn stars. That sounds pretty energetic to me.

              I was only joking

                        Trump’s hour-long rants are rather unhinged but everyone’s used to grading him on a curve. There’s no expectation that he will be coherent and consistent from one day to the next.

                                @taiwan_girl I may be wrong, but if I had to guess, those photos of "cheat sheets" that are (supposedly) in Trump's hands look like they were written by the sharpie-loving Trump himself, rather than a White House aide.

                                Here's some samples:

                                image.jpeg

                                  @George-K I agree. But I also think that his secretary or aide worked with him on what to write.

                                  And as I said above, I would be more concerned if a president went into a meeting/conference/whatever, without some sort of preparation, like a cheat sheet. When I have done them, we would anticipate questions/comments and have bullet point responses.

                                  For example:

                                  Meeting with Economic Officials in Thailand

                                  Point: Taiwan increasing chip making in Thailand

                                  Pros:
                                  increased cooperation
                                  economic benefit (add data)
                                  previous chip manufacturing
                                  skilled workforce
                                  etc,

                                  Con:
                                  Utility concerns availability (electric, water)
                                  Local opposition to land reclaim
                                  skilled workforce
                                  etc.

                                  (I realize that the original was kind of a different thing with President Biden.)

                                        Way too early.

                                        I'm not convinced Biden will run. I think if his poll numbers are bad going into the fall, he'll have a sudden "health problem" that will preclude him from seeking reelection and the dems will have to come up with an emergency candidate...And it ain't gonna be Headboard Harris.

                                          I agree with this. I think it is harder and harder for an "unknown" to get the nomination, but who knows. Maybe someone from the Democrat side would emerge.
