@George-K said in I wouldn't be surprised. Not at all.:

America's first Black president, 62, has betrayed his old running mate before. He endorsed Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election despite Biden's declared goal to take the top job.

I thought Biden didn't run in 2016 as he'd just lost his son.

[Mik]

That was my impression too. he just didn't have it in him.

Obama held off on endorsing Biden in 2020 until it was sure that he was the candidate. He prioritized not making enemies over keeping Trump from the presidency. Based on the guest list for his 60th birthday party, it worked out for him.

[Doctor Phibes]

I remain unconvinced that Obama owes Joe Biden anything at all. It sounded to me that maybe it was a slow day at Radar Online, so they made up a story.

Sorry, I just checked and they're quoting The National Enquirer, so that adds some gravitas to the story.

[Renauda]

The source reference to National Enquirer ended my interest in the report as well.

Yep. I saw that as well. Nevertheless, the National Enquirer has gotten some things right.

[Renauda]

Still not interested.

NE or not, does anybody here think Biden can run an effective and energetic campaign seven months from now?

[Horace]

I wonder what 7 months is, as a percentage of the expected time he has left in this world? 10%? Another four years would be what? More than 50%?

[89th]

Precisely. All surprises aside, it’ll be a shame when Trump loses to a walking corpse.

[89th]

I say shame specifically because of the opportunity the GOP has to really put up someone for the next 8 years and bring in the minority voting block, especially the Latinos.

[Jolly]

Okay, name a candidate that will bring latinos and blacks into the party.

In 2020, Trump took 8% of the black vote and 32% of the hispanic vote.

Besides Blacky McSanchez?

Something about that name makes me hate them immediately. No idea why. Maybe I had a bad preschool teacher with that name.
