    I would say the Republican party and MAGA have failed America. Yet Dems, Independents and Libertarians are always expected to have saved us from the likes of $Trump; a failed and failing POTUS.

    Americans have become too accustomed to attention-grabbing celebrities, and, let's face it -- the current POTUS is cuckoo for cocoa puffs.

    Nope. One party already has jumped the shark and had their planning session for an Article V convention. There is a lot of bad that is coming in the next 10 years. The only thing that can save America is business employers force their employees to move to different states to homogenize politics. I give it a few years before PACs flat out pay people to move.

    I just do not think there is a lot of willingness for a lot if news outlets to do a lot of soul searching to determine how they so obviously missed this. The fact that Trump is back in the White House gives them even less reason to do so. My only hope is that one of the parties is able to nominate a centrist in ‘28 that allows the country to reflect on how bad things became from ‘16 to ‘28.

    and as Biden’s VP, made it difficult for her to state what she would improve or what wasn’t working - as she was part of the admin. It’s been claimed a few times Biden supposedly told her “ no daylight between them” (he denied this on ‘The View’.)

    But, more than Biden, SHE WAS NOT A GOOD CANDIDATE. Her poll ratings as VP were historically bad, even well before the 2024 race. She did awful in the dem primary in 2020 and dropped out. Supposedly Nancy & Obama wanted a mini primary, but for Biden’s last awful move he quickly & publicly announced her as his replacement.

    Reagan did not endorse Bush for the ticket in 2008 and Trump had not endorsed Vance for the ticket in 2028. Biden could have chosen to announce in 2022 that he was not running and not endorsing anyone. It wasn't that hard, but some people didn't want to leave the White House.
