I was talking to my wife while soaking in the hot tub last night, and we got around to Trump ( musta been the hot water   )

I told her I would like to see Trump NOT seek reelection (not that I would ever expect him to do so, other than a illness).

She then asked who would I hope would win the next election?

That was a real stumper, when I thought about it.

Who I like, as a person, and who can do this JOB in today's climate, are two distinct entities.....

I think the BIGGEST negative re: Trump is his personality, so we know that is part of the equation, yet, it really can't solve problems and issues.

I must admit, I am not strong on any top tier candidates presently, I think Biden has a lot of the old school charm/personality.....
But not sure the mettle it will take to be president.

The younger folks don't seem so keen on salesmanship being a virtue, more of ploy that has led this nation to be bought, and sold, by the monies of the rich.

Anger, not sure is that is a good asset, or motivator either.....

When I whack my thump with a hammer, usually the actions that follows are not my best characteristics being displayed.......

I am hoping in my heart, wishing, if you will, Howard Schultz wins in a 3 way race......

But right now that pony isn't even on the card, it seems.  

Maybe he will let all the blood flow, then mount up a charge late in the game, which, I believe if Biden had done 2 years ago, he would have won.....I dunno.

Anyway.....anybody want to venture a guess with Trump removed from the equation?

Is there another dark horse out there that isn't even on the radar screen?

Look Bot, you asked for civility, etc.....
Then you post a snark to my serious attempt to engage that civility.

If you can't example that of which you request in others, then you really can't expect change, can you?

Yes, I get its fun, I like doing it too, but the dam fails, starting with just a small crack.....

Think about it.

Is fried chicken personally insulting to you?...



Yo comprendo "personal insult"?...

Because, the way it was posted,
as a comment to the previous post,
Yes it is.

It infers that you wish the current POTUS,
to have a fatal heart attack.

Yet Trump's checkups show him in excellent health. He's just one of those people with high energy, good health despite eating what he wants. I worked at a company once that was bought by Roger Penske. Yes, that Roger of Indy500 fame. The story was he gets up a little after 4 most mornings and goes full bore until 11 that night. He's brilliant too. I heard how he came into our conference room and shredded our VP's like they were children. He knew more about their business than they did. Now there's a guy who'd make a great President!

Back to Ray's point, Biden is flaming out. I think he already regrets agreeing to run. He does not have Trump's natural energy. There's no f'ing way he can go through the campaign Trump will put him through. My bet is he fades and then comes up with some excuse to drop out. (all the cute little girls will be glad he did....)

That energy that has him sitting in bed watching Fox News and tweeting half the day away,... using up his "Executive time"...
Most slothful President ever...
