Obviously there is zero chance this mummy makes it another four years, but I'm starting to lean towards a scenario where the Dems send him away to live on a farm before the convention. Grandpa's brain has to be like 75% pudding at this point and Trump is going to take him for a walk, even if he's far from his former power levels.
For a while I was really believing what seems to be the more popular leftist commentator prediction that Biden will somehow win in November despite how terrible of a candidate he is, but I don't think he will survive five more months of this kind of exposure. The administration is doing a terrible job of hiding him from cameras.
No way they do it before the election.
Their argument for the last 4 years has been "you may not like literally anything about him but he's the only person that can beat trump"
Sticking in another equally unpopular person with the same policies might even get your average blue Maga to feel a sense of confusion.
He's gonna be head of the ticket and be replaced immediatly after the election is called (assuming he wins).
Like votes happen Tuesday, election is officially called Friday, kamala replaces him in time to make the rounds on the Sunday shows.
Obviously if he abdicates then Kamala will be president for the remainder of the 2021-2024 term, but if he's unable to assume office I doubt she can just be sworn in as president without any vice president. I'm not talking legally, I don't know what the laws/rules/conventions are around this, but surely that would be the final straw for lots of Trumpets to make Jan 6th look like an "innocent" AOC shoe sniffing sesh.
Trumpers are fucking coward they aren't going to do shit. They "thought" the election was stolen and all flocked to DC to overthrow the government and then one person shot one gun one time and the realization that there might be possible negative consequences was enough to send them all home.
Then they watched everybody involved get prison sentences while Trump completely abandoned them, after specifically telling them to do it.
They'd have a point that it was a bullshit power grab, but they've also said that about literally everything for the last 8 years up to and including Hunter getting charged.
They'd say it's bullshit, be right for once and maybe understand the allegory of the boy who cried wolf, and libs would say it's all good.
Kamala gets sworn in, probably chooses somebody like Pete or Buttigieg for vp, 80% of the country thinks it's bullshit, and turbo mecha-hitler cruises to election on the republican ticket in 2028 after winning 40 states.
