    his time as career politician should have been an indication but everyone seems lost on the fact he likes the color blue and has a different name other than Trump

    maybe colors and letters are not the best indicator of how someone will perform on the job

        Ali has a great track record…

        But it would be insane to put him in a heavyweight title bout today and act like he has a chance.

        Hell, if his kids and managers talked him into it, I’d want it investigated for elder abuse.

        And he’s 7 years younger than Biden.

          Muhammad Ali? The guy that died in 2016? And yes, I’d prefer him to Trump. Even dead he’d do a better job than the Orange Baboon.

            Well, most of those points are still valid. It would be insane to put him in a heavyweight title bout today. He wouldn’t stand a chance.

            I would also like his kids and managers investigated if they somehow “talked him into it”.

            Exactly.

            Being a better president than trump is not some insurmountable task that only Biden can accomplish.

            It’s something 99.99% of the living population also meets, even some dead citizens

              Absolutely. Not beating Trump in an election is unfortunately not as easy when the system is so blatantly skewed in his favour. Swapping out Biden at this point carries lots of risk.

                Keeping Biden is a risk…

                He’s at 37% approval. 56% disapproval on recent polls. That’s worse than trump and historically an incumbent that low will be a one term president. I think Carter is the only dem that tried for re-election in modern political history with numbers that low, and he lost.

                Which everyone is just ignoring for some reason.

                Incumbency is only a bonus when people like you. And for a variety of reasons, people don’t like Joe Biden.

      If only both candidates had been president before and we could compare their times in office.

      Oh well, I guess we have to assume that both candidates are exactly the same…

      I think they see the same thing we see, a pushover that they can control. That explains why his policies and stance on things is not the same as it used to be
