    And sadly, the DNC is going to cause it, because they’re trapped in the 90s. Bill Clinton, who was elected president in 1993, is younger today than the person they’re throwing into the ring 31 years later.

    I live in California, which is going to go Democrat no matter what, so there’s not much I can do but sit back and watch Biden lose swing states.

    Hillary’s refusal to bow out when it was clear how deeply unpopular she was put Trump in office in 2016, and I’m going to be shocked if Biden’s same arrogance doesn’t cause it this year.

    Biden’s gonna “hold onto the torch a little longer” out of pride, and we’re all gonna suffer for it.

        Trump is absolutely compromised by Putin. The Kremlin leak in 2021 confirmed that, but that story also flew under the radar for most people.

        It would have been nice to have 2 terms of Sanders, and be ready to move on to a younger candidate now, but now he’s too old as well. Oh well.

            The Guardian has shown the documents to independent experts who say they appear to be genuine. Incidental details come across as accurate. The overall tone and thrust is said to be consistent with Kremlin security thinking.

            Yes, an opinion by experts. It is an opinion, but not one that can be dismissed without competing opinion from others of equal credential.

            Hillary would’ve easily won the presidency if she was a decent candidate and ran a competent campaign.

            Absolutely agree, although I think it’s ‘more true’ stated the opposite direction: even without Russian interference, Hillary was never going to win, because she was a bad candidate, and her disastrous campaign was the nail in the coffin.
