It will be followed by several meaningless little departures from the dem playbook, with huge press notice, to highlight his new-found integrity and centrism. All it actually does is once again increase the pricetag, the amount of graft required for the dems to buy his votes when really needed. |

| #1 If you look at the last 2 Presidential election cycles (2020 & 2024) the candidate who campaigns less is leading. Biden sits in the basement and Trump sits in court.. Manchin/Romney/Hogan… think the middle of the political spectrum is so wide open that they can jump on the ballot when and if either or both… Biden/Trump fall off the ballot for November. |
