    The irony is if either candidate steps aside…

    Their party is almost guaranteed to win.

    If it’s not trump, there goes the most convincing reason to get people to vote for Biden as president since 1988.

    If it’s not Biden, and literally anyone else who hasn’t been openly pissing off his voters as much as Biden himself has lately, trump doesn’t stand a chance.

    If either one of these 80 year old powerful white men put the country above their own ego, the other is fucked.

    But it’ll never happen.

    They’re both running no matter what

      Best case scenario for me would be Biden should run, win, then immediately step down due to health concerns. Won’t happen of course.

        I’m been fantasizing about Biden passing away from some clearly age related issue, simultaneously opening the race up for Anyone Else (D) to step in and highlighting how it’s a bad idea to put ancient people in critical offices.
