The greatest good for the greatest number. If he had a Democratic super majority and had passed all he wanted, he would have stepped aside.

Have been unscientifically polling this with friends and folks I end up in political conversations with....the wizened hands at the barber shop, garage and bars. I have not had one person push back on the notion of a single six year Presidential term and pretty much universal thought for some sort of limits on Congress although debate of total time is wide ranging although some compromise/consensus around 12 years. I know the chances of ever making the Constitutional change needed is about 8 times worse than me winning the next big Powerball drawing but find it interesting that so many folks are open to it. And I also don't dismiss the view that more experience legislating is not the worse thing. Thank you Nancy Pelosi!

Not sure we could have withstood that.

...would we regret having had a singular six year term for President? Trump is certainly clear and notable. Nixon, possibly. but he solved that for us. I'd take that risk vs. the division and risk we now face with Trump possibly getting 4 more years more dangerous and erratic than ever.

The repugs and the press have unfairly blamed Joe for so much that actually isn't his fault, especially inflation and problems at the border. In my view someone who doesn't have this "baggage" would have a better chance.

So much so that they have to go after Hunter, or make shit up. Joe is tried and true. Going with anyone else, you don't know what's in their past.

But what I am saying is Joe thinks he does. And he has good reasons to believe it.

The pulpit and exposure it provides is immense. The ability to turn words into action, and translate ideas into impact can't be replaced on the campaign trail.

Another dem candidate wouldn't have that advantage, and in essence would be running against a near incumbent in trump. He in amny ways is treated that way by the media, and certainly by the gop house.

So yes, Joe is the best dem candidate we could field. Both because of WHO he is, as well as where he is and the great job he is doing.
