(8,879 posts)but Obama was incredibly naive about the presidency and the way things work in Congress. He was a brilliant orator and did a great job. But I don't think you can equate the wealth of EXPERIENCE that Biden has brought to the job. Obama didn't face near the amount of shit that the Republicans have and still do throw at Biden.......
The thing I hear most often, even from Dems who are all in on Biden, is they wish that he had a stronger AND MORE EXPERIENCED VP in case something happens to him......
I think when Biden was elected, Dem voters knew that he was stable and experienced vs some of the other candidates running in the Dem Primaries.........Many who had great ideas, but many who were too idealistic, and in no way were as experienced as Biden.......
Oh, and my feelings are that THE MOST QUALIFIED CANDIDATE in recent history was Hillary Clinton, with her vast background of knowledge and experience......If you throw out all the Republican Voting Corruption in the 2016 election.....SHE WON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Citizens United" was the kiss of Death for our Democracy, which allowed for all this we are seeing......
Katie Bar The Door folks.....every day until the election the Repubs will throw everything they've got to win this election. No matter how devious, criminal, corrupt, immoral, un-ethical, deceptive......The day/night the 2024 election takes place, we will see the Republicans "Act Out" like nothing we have ever seen in the history of the U.S. And we will see it, whether Trump wins or loses, either way.
With the Treasonous Insurrection of J6, I can only imagine what will take place if Biden wins again. And it won't only be at our Nation's Capital in Washington DC, it will be in every State Capitol across the nation especially in BLUE STATE Capitols....
I hope I am way off base with that prediction....................
