I don't think that would happen or work, but she is certainly far more popular than Kamala.They should ask Michelle Obama to replace Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in the race for White House. She is the only chance for Democrats to win.
Dubya was "popular" with the "who'd you like to have a beer with," crowd. And the 2000 election was close enough to merit the famous Florida recount. That being said, even back then EVERYONE, including myself, freshly new in the U.S, knew he was the party's puppet the the person really pulling the strings was Chaney. He was also surrounded by staff that worked for his father.
His biggest moment was immediately after 9/11 and his, "We will find you, kill you, haunt your dreams" speech. That quickly went to shit when, again, obvious to everyone, he lumped Iraq with Afghanistan in his "Axis of Evil" and completely made up the WMD thing to invade... sorry, "liberate," the Iraqi people.
His pre-9/11 numbers weren't great, appeared to be on his way to being a 1 term president, but the whole, "presidents during war always get reelected" thing worked out for him.
As for No Child Left Behind, it was good in theory, horrendous in practice. As a high schooler during it and my mom an elementary teacher for 13 years, all it did was add more standardized tests that told us nothing of how the teacher, student and school was actually performing.
But yeah, in hindsight, he looks WAY better than either current candidate. For starters he wasn't a million years old while in office.
What I do miss from Dubya is he was still "old school" republican and you knew what you got. Typical economic/social, post-Reagan, conservatism.
That's what it was like from the inside as an outsider. I'd like to hear from an insider on the inside.
Now that there's actually a chance that Biden will be replaced, @____no5 suddenly defects to his camp...![]()

It's weird that you draw the line here when previously you were all too happy to make fun of him for his stutter or his well-known poor rhetorical skills.
I think Democrats know fully well that Harris won’t stand a chance against Trump but they think that by decoupling themselves from Biden they’ll save the House.
THIS is the real title of the video you posted, @____no5.Biden was never a sharp individual or politician. Probably he deserved this. But still it's sad to watch.
@Yax, @Night Prowler and @Jer : You can laugh a lot, but there some articles here in french medias that are talking about the fact that if Joe Biden is retiring from the race, Michelle Obama (if she accepted to be the new candidate for Democrats) could seriously win these elections against Trump.They should ask Michelle Obama to replace Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in the race for White House. She is the only chance for Democrats to win.
Any non-elderly, non-psycho, not overly woke Democrat should be able to beat Trump (with some caveats).Michelle Obama (if she accepted to be the new candidate for Democrats) could seriously win these elections against Trump.![]()
That's not a problem. French president Emmanuel Macron was never a politician before becoming minister of economy and finance in 2012. He didn't not have any voting record either.[...] she was never an actual politician and doesn’t have a voting record.
That's the problem.More importantly, Michelle Obama has no interest in running.
It's not sure. Other potential candidates for Democratic party are not well placed in official polls to beat Trump...Any non-elderly, non-psycho, not overly woke Democrat should be able to beat Trump (with some caveats).
A lot of that is name recognition at this point, and Trump being at a local high due to the assassination attempt, the convention, and the Democrats being in such turmoil right now.Other potential candidates for Democratic party are not well placed in official polls to beat Trump...
The thing that blows my mind that people (not on here, but elsewhere on the interwebs) don't seem to grasp is how well the alternates already in the political arena (I don't quite count first ladies) poll in comparison to Trump. The panic of "Oh no, Whitmer is down two points in comparison to Biden" is quite overblown when you realize that the nation as a whole isn't going to fully recognize who the governor of Michigan is.The polls of other candidates are mostly useful for telling us that people don’t want to vote for Biden but would be open to an alternative, and that being part of the Biden administration may drag down Kamala some (although she still appears to be a better candidate than Biden). There is not enough name ID for other candidates to get a good read on how they would be received and it’s also hard when it’s a hypothetical question. People throw names like Michelle Obama and Mark Cuban around because they aren’t familiar with other candidates imo. There are plenty of Dems being floated who are holding office and have an electoral track record of building the sort of coalition that Biden is struggling with right now.
At any rate I’m thinking we will find out tomorrow or Monday.
Yes it's official. Hopefully they get someone in who can unite the party and has the ability to defeat Trump.IT'S JOEVER (100.0%)
