Yeah not been 'confirmed' persay and never will be but I just feel that is what they had in mind. Biden and Harris don't even really like each other.

HanoiVillan Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I'm not sure whether it's a 'plan' as such, or just an acknowledgement of the reality that being VP pretty much immediately catapults right towards the front of the queue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it? When was the last time a former Democratic VP was elected president? (present incumbent excepted and even he doesn't count as he wasn't VP when winning the Dem nomination) Truman in 1945 I think and he was only VP for 3 months 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, it definitely moves you into the top tier of candidates, hence the current incumbent, Gore, George Bush Sr, Mondale, Humphrey, LBJ, Nixon. I didn't say anything about this only applying to Democrats or that it was a guaranteed victory in the general election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't the sitting VP and even if you include him the one before that that actually won was 75 years previous! The point of the conversation was about stoppping Trump (or whoever) to do that you have to win. It's easier to see Harris winning the nomination, it's much less easy to see her win and stopping the GOP candidate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easier to see Harris winning the nomination, it's much less easy to see her win and stopping the GOP candidate That wasn't the point I was making My point was, stated simply, that being the VP makes it more likely you will win your party's nomination for the general. And in fact every VP in a Democrat administration has subsequently gone on to be the nominee for a general. On your last sentence, I agree, and if you go back to the previous page, you'll see that I'm very skeptical about Harris actually winning the general, should she get that far, as as far as I can see, she's pretty unpopular. She has a -8 favourability rating, significantly worse than Biden, according to the RCP polling average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnkarl Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Driving home from work yesterday I listened to LBC (I normally don't, but the music on the other channels was awful), and they had a 'best of James O Brien talking to Trumpsters' thing going on, it was actually really funny. I normally can't stand the guy but here I thought there were so many idiots calling in that his condescending holier than thou approach actually worked pretty well.. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 And, as always, Trump's take on the above is hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 If anyone wants to know what Trump has actually been thinking about 9/11, he said this a couple of week ago: If you're wondering how Trump spent the day yesterday, he a] commentated on a rather sad boxing match in which Evander Holyfield got beat up: . . . and b] appeared in a pre-recorded video message at a Moonie event: This guy was President of the United States for 4 whole years, and he'll probably be President again for another 4 years too.

Chindie Posted September 12, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 12, 2021 Trump was delighted on 9/11. It meant one of his buildings went up the rankings of skyscrapers in the city. He's a **** despicable word removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the majority of what James O'Brien says, and I do like to see him take the piss out of people. But he's a monumental bellend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
