Pre-match: Can't believe it took this long for this thread, the 2024 Presidential election thread!

A poll from Rasmussen, which some people think is an inaccurate pollster, has Biden with 57%, RFK Jr. with 25%, and Williamson with 3%. I hope RFK's support is less than that. If his polls get better, and Biden makes mistakes with age, it can convince voters that it is okay for an incumbent to not be renominated, maybe RFK gets important endorsements, maybe he wins states, it becomes comeptitive, and Biden has to spend money to win primaries in states he does not want to spend money in because they are safe in either direction in the general election. Hopefully RFK does not improve. Since term limits were made, the only time an incumbent chose not to run was Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968. Since then, the thirteen incumbents had five wins, four losses, and four term-limiteds. That excludes JFK, who was assassinated during his first and only term. A general election between Trump and RFK would be like choosing how much shit I wanted to eat. I strongly prefer Biden over any other candidate in any party.

Edit: Right after I posted, another poll has much better results with Biden with 68%, RFK Jr. with 7%, and Williamson with 4%.

I watched that. Cuban-Americans are much more Republican than other Hispanics, and there are not many Cuban-Americans outside of Florida. The national Democratic party saw the close losses for senator and governor in 2018 when Democrats won the nationwide House vote by 8.5 percent, and decided to give up and stop spending money in Florida. The national Democratic party spent much less in Florida in 2020 than in 2018, and a negligible amount in 2022.

A drop from 69 percent to 61 percent among a group that will increase what percent of the electorate it is matters.

 

Folks, I said no malarkey and I mean no f**kin’ malarkey.

Trump wants credit for ending Roe? He’ll get it at the ballot box in ‘24. https://t.co/ocHkSMId53

By the same token, the Biden campaign seems to have dome the same and Biden himself has turned his fire on TFG. Not a bad strategy if I am asked. Comments like below are not made accidentally.

“President Joe Biden said Donald Trump looks destined to be the Republican party’s 2024 nominee at a campaign fundraiser in New York, framing a potential rematch as a battle for the future of democracy,” Bloomberg reports.

Said Biden: “He may be the nominee again. It looks like he is destined to be the nominee again.”

 

The more likely scenario is Trump dying 30 days before the election. As for what I would do.

Do a little dance
Make a little love
Get down tonight

 

Drink lots and lots of champagne is what I would do. And I mean a lot.

 

I was thinking that I'd buy a gun just for this purpose.
Unless you were talking about heroin. I can't go for that.

 

Could this put Florida in play?

Team Biden is going to allow Venezuelan migrants to work

That’s about as likely as the Chicago Fire winning the World Cup.

 

That would be…..

illegal!

Nah, MAGAzuelans are more afraid of the commie menace Biden is. OTOH I think that Puddin fingers is becoming so unlikable that it oprns up a small window for dems.

 

Interesting article on Biden campaign.

Delaware Sen. Christopher A. Coons turned in the stemwinder of the night, according to several attendees, mocking a recent piece by a Washington Post columnist calling for Biden to step aside because of his age.
David Ignatius revealed a deep secret to me in that column, one I didn’t previously know. Our president is 80. I was unaware! Struck dumb by the experience! I’ve careened around the halls of the Senate today, saying, ‘My God, my God, did you know? Nancy Pelosi is 83?’” Coons joked, referring to the California congresswoman and former House speaker. “Sharp as a tack.”

And it's more than that too. For example, a Democrat state house impeached Blagojevich, and Trump pardoned him of his crimes.
