    I like The Hill as a news piece and it has some really good Capital Hill reporting but what has happened to their Op-Ed?

    I don't think you made it up. I am sure articles have been written speculating. I am simply saying that there is zero chance of it happening for many, many reasons.

    This is bs, c'mon. It's a scenario being floated by... a conservative opinion blogger. He lists 3 issues the Trump campaign would like to be problems for Biden but probably won't be, starts fantasizing about Biden dropping out, and then got on the RealGM trade checker to try to build a dream team of liberal super-villains.

    Well, following the new CDC projections, it is quite possible that either Joe, Justin, or Donald come down with Corona.

    Justin Amash is under 50 so he isn't in a high risk group. Maybe he wins as the last man standing?

    Well, as long as she practices:

    "Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador."

    She doesn't even have to roll the r's. Just say it in that flat, slightly nasal MIdwestern accent.

    Or just, "AMLO, that clown."

    That was a very bizarre interview. Biden seemed very agitated and overly defensive the entire time. Bordering on outright yelling.

    Charlamagne's been an outspoken critic of Biden for some time now. Not sure why Biden's staff allowed this without prepping him properly...then again, Biden's got to handle things like this better.

    Don't think it hurts him in the long-run, but he probably needs to come out and apologize.

    I don’t think he sounded unprepared. I’m just mainly talking about his bedside manner. The tone, the yelling, the multiple “come on, man!!” responses.

    He could have easily defended himself and conveyed all of his points much more effectively. Perfect way to respond to a critic or undecided voter is turning on the charm.

    Joe was one of the worst people the Democrats could have trotted out. If he didn't have name recognition with Obama he would have never had a shot. This is why the younger generation needs to go out and vote. Get rid of these fossils and get some new blood in there.

    I hear you, but there was no other viable moderate. Progressives severely overstated their hand and thought they didn’t have to expand their base. Bloomberg is interesting but electing a billionaire ( even billionaire who actually didn’t inherit his money) didn’t make sense in this environment.

    I think people underestimate the silent majority and they want a Biden like candidate. As someone in my mid 30s, I definitely want these dinosaurs out but I want Trump out more.
