    I am listening to a video right now that is saying that she is being set up to replace Biden......

    even Gavin Newsom apparently toured the country but was not impressed by the level of support that he got.... so ... apparently he feels that this 2024 election is not the one that he can win?????????

    Obviously the Dems are desperate......
    and sixty percent of Dems want Biden gone!

    Personally.....
    I suspect that this video may be disguised as an infomercial......

    but I suspect that this is actually rather brilliant political advertising...... [disguised as an infomercial}???????

    Personally... I am not even sure which side of the aisle this is coming from...... this may be a testing of the waters just to see how people react to this possibility?????

    I rather suspect that many Dems may be jumping up and down at this possibility and perhaps I am being a total idiot to even share this link??????????????

    Kamala is already touring around as president. She will have us eating worms and bugs even as fast as Michelle would have.

    Amnesia is sad, as is blatant lying. President Biden beat Trump, and President Biden will beat him again.

    I think Biden will beat Trump. Trump can't help but put his foot in his mouth. Case in point today with his "bloodbath" comment. Immediately his campaign resorts to damage control. That only goes so far. Also, Biden is a very adept debater. We saw how Trump totally wacked-out in the last debate. Even his staunch supporters were saying WTF...

    Biden in for two more years so Israel can finish their plan. Then Kamala will come in.

    Are you sure......

    or did Trudeau so scare so many Americans that drastic measures needed to be resorted to?????????????

    Are many of Joe Biden's troubles P. M. Justin Trudeau's fault?

    Newsom can beat Trump. Nearly any Democrat can beat Trump. Why?

    The most important thing to what is now a majority of people in the United States is how much 'free stuff' they'll get from the government. That one thing alone makes just about any Democrat candidate a slam-dunk winner.

    I think that Gavin Newsom would be the Democrats strongest candidate. He's handsome. He looks like John F. Kennedy. He's the governor of a large, successful state although he's doing a lousy job. Most importantly, he can speak in full sentences, unlike Biden who needs a script or a ice cream cone as a prop.

    Judge Jeanine Pirro summed up pretty well about Michelle Obama. She's lazy. She doesn't want the responsibility of the presidency, only the adulation.

    She's also pretty dumb politically. She has foot in mouth disease, like Trump. The only attraction for liberals is that she's Barack's wife, and they are eager for golder years of "Obama's Camelot." Some of them think that Barack would be the president behind the scenes, which could be true. At any rate, I seriously doubt that Michelle Obama will be a candidate.

    Lol! When it's Democrats reducing junk fees or lowering prescription costs for Americans it's "free stuff" but when it's Republicans, it's "giving Americans back their hard-earned money".

    In all fairness, I, personally, haven't seen ANY political party do anything praiseworthy about reducing these grotesquely high prescription prices across-the-board. Republicans AND Democrats always like to cheer themselves and celebrate their "triumphs" in reducing drug prices, but with damned few exceptions, unless you have diabetes there's really very little to cheer about.

    As recently as last month my friends in Germany were continuing their laughter about the fact that we Americans pay FAR more for nearly ALL prescription drugs than people in Europe do (or nearly anywhere else on the planet, either). That's because we're the schmucks who pay for the R&D that goes into drug development, and then everybody else gets the medicine at reasonable prices... but not us! Plus, we Americans are Big Pharma's "cash cow", getting milked dry while ALL our elected politicians, Left and Right, take political 'contributions' and look the other way....

    That's coming when Democrats control all three branches. Right now, the best that President Biden can do is for seniors on Medicare.

    And that's solely because of Republican opposition to lowering pharmaceutical prices. Why is that?

    Well, during Biden's first two years (seven hundred thirty days), he had both houses of Congress. If Democrats were just 'chewing at the straps' to lower prescription drug prices, couldn't they have done something more?

    Interestingly, it wasn't until 2023 (after Democrats lost control of the House of Reps) that the process of price negotiations was finally at a real starting point:

    Link: https://www.casey.senate.gov/news/r...et-to-begin-with-first-set-of-drugs-announced .

    And, given how long it takes both sides of this bought-and-paid-for Congress to do anything useful, when will we start seeing the majority of drugs that most Americans must take in QUANTITY finally reduced? If you know anyone with the numerous breathing disorders for asthma, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Hint: estimated number of people in the U. S. who have asthma is 27 million, and costs for treating it on a continuing basis runs into the billions of dollars every year.

    Link: https://aafa.org/asthma/asthma-fact...ion U.S. adults ages 18 and older have asthma.

    Again, I don't blame Democrats one bit more than I blame Republicans -- but when it comes to fighting for "fair pricing" for prescription drugs, Democrats are even bigger hypocrites than Republicans are.

    No, since she has stated countless times she has zero interest in any political office.


    There are many Dems (almost all of them) who could beat Trump, and Michelle is way down the list, since she is not, and has never been a politician, and has no interest in it.

    Biden may be almost the only democrat that could lose to Trump. His overall job approval is down to 40%, his handling of the issues is around 40% or below.

    https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/approval/joe-biden/approval-rating

    https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/approval/joe-biden/issues

    Only 41% of Americans view Biden favorably vs. 55% who view him unfavorably. A point behind how Americans view Trump, 42% favorably, 54% unfavorably.

    No sitting president since WWII that ran for reelection with an overall job approval of below 50% has won. Ford at 45% lost to Carter in 1976. Carter at 37% approval lost to Reagan in 1980. G.H.W. Bush at 43% lost to Bill Clinton in 1996, Trump at 43% lost to Biden in 2020. Even with Biden being at 40% overall job approval, he still stands a 50-50 chance since his opponent is Trump. Most Americans dislike both, most Americans don’t want neither on to become the next president. Trump and Biden need each other if one or the other is to win. Almost any other democrat would probably be trouncing Trump, almost any other republican would be wiping the floor with Biden. The democrats have every right to be worried. But it isn’t the democratic base fault. They long have wanted someone other than Biden. If Trump wins, you can lay the blame squarely at the DNC and Democratic Party leaders’ feet. They have done everything within their power to ensure Biden had no credible or prominent democratic challenger. The DNC and the Democratic Party leaders choose Biden, not the democratic base.

    Only 38% of democrats are enthusiastic about Biden being the democratic choice for president this year vs. 62% of republicans who are enthusiastic about Trump being the GOP choice. Independents, the election deciders, 44% are upset that the Democrats nominated Biden, 39% upset that the GOP nominated Trump. Add to those being upset, another 21% of independents are dissatisfied, but not upset that Biden is the democratic nominee, another 13% of independents are dissatisfied but not upset with Trump being the republican nominee.

    https://d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net/documents/econTabReport_Ba6mR1n.pdf

    The bottom line may resident in the fact 62% of all Americans want another choice other than Biden and Trump. Just 38% think the choice between Trump and Biden are good enough.

    In my opinion....
    the federal leaders in both Washington as well as in Ottawa have
    been rather INCOMPETENT!

    President Abraham Lincoln SAVED American taxpayers FOUR BILLION DOLLARS IN INTEREST PAYMENTS
    through his rather brilliant Greenback Monetary policy Experiment of 1861 - 1865. The British North America Act
    that created Canada was in 1867 and it appears to several Canadians historians that the Fathers of Canadian Confederation
    had noticed what President Lincoln had accomplish so...... it seems as if they wanted Canada to be financed
    in the same way that President Lincoln financed winning the American Civil War.

    From 1938 to 1974 Canada had a brilliant Bank of Canada Policy that fitted nicely with what President Lincoln had
    accomplished BUT.... Prime Minister Pierre E. Trudeau in 1974 STOPPED the usage of the Bank of Canada to put
    roughly half of the money supply of Canada into the economy at essentially zero interest cost to taxpayers.

    I am of the belief that AN UNCONDITIONAL BUT TAXABLE BASIC MINIMUM INCOME SHOULD BE GIVEN TO ALL
    AMERICAN AND CANADIAN CITIZENS AND LEGAL RESIDENTS based on the idea that they deserve AN APOLOGY
    WITH TEETH FOR THE WAY THAT MONEY HAS BEEN TAKEN AWAY FROM THEIR PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS.
    This idea in part was came up with by economist Milton Friedman. He hated bureaucracies so he felt that only an
    Unconditional Basic Minimum Income to all citizens and legal residents would work... because it would require so little
    bureaucracy to administer. This Basic Minimum Income should go to all Americans and to all Canadians regardless of their
    income..... because the incompetence of our political leaders has harmed all of us in terms of economics.

    Once this is implemented in Canada and America this idea will catch on in many other nations and the stage will be set for
    people to no longer be living like SLAVES to an economy that is driven by Compound Interest Over Time that is owing by all of us
    ... but President Lincoln proved that this did not have to be the way that this should be done!

    I think any democrat except for Biden and Harris can beat Trump.
