    I can agree with that. I can relate to it as a person who has attained a PhD level of digital knowledge - That's 'Push Here Dummy.'

    Any one of us, at any age, placed in a position where critical decisions need to be made, should have the good sense to retain trustworthy people with the knowledge and skills necessary to advise when needed.

    The Democrats have no choice but to run him again unless they are prepared to surrender the White House without a fight. There are literally no Democrats who could be elected President.

    Now that’s funny and sad to think legislative time will be spent on this. OTOH, if it keeps them away from the burning issues of the day like finding subversive books, establishing a Christian college in Sarasota, or further assaults on the 1st amendment, then I think it deserves a full debate.

    @docspor and @VAg8r1 who exactly is going to carry a national election from the Democrat if not the sitting president of the United States?

    I do like Mitt. The real republicans are getting older, and the MAGA pubs are just waiting it out.

    I could vote for him depending on his opposition.

    Well said. Or, to put it another way, you have no answer.

    why you being a jackass? I don't think Colo State is going to win the natty in football next year. So, do I need to divulge "exactly who" is? I'll go up to $2000 that Biden won't be dem nom. PM if int. we can get trusted party to hold funds in escrow. tho, I am happy to trust you. I'll go far more on CSU not winning the natty WITH ODDS!

    The guy who was trying to buy a position from Blagojevich?

    If you think so, then I would not argue since all I know about him is he is another $Billionaire who far more successful than Trump at hiding his dirt.

    That would make for some great debates between him and Trump though, who would be the least sleazy on stage?

    My plan was to just keep tossing out names. I have no idea who will emerge from the primary if Biden doesn't run again.

    Let’s ask the question again. Do the democrats have another democratic presidential candidate who is realistically electable in 2024, other than Biden?

    Electable compared to what, Trump? Whitmer, Klobachar, Newsom, Buttigieg would all be viable opponents.

    A vast majority of Democrats will vote for whomever is then nominee, especially if against Trump. Desantis may be a tougher matchup but Desantis is untested at this point at a national level and he isn’t helping himself by tacking to the far right.
