    We have absolutely aborted the campaigns of incumbent presidents before. The DNC and White House however worked very hard to shut down any criticism during the primary timeframe, refused to have debates, disburse money, etc

    So if they’re going to treat this full election as a preference poll on Biden, then so will the people. And his approval numbers are bad.

        I said aborted the campaign, not lost the nomination. Usually the candidates have the good sense to bow out before that happens.

          Are you talking about Truman? One guy who started to seek the presidency, after serving 1.5 terms, and then pulling out before being the presumptive nominee? I don’t think history is on your side for this one.

          Also, answer the questions please.

          Edit: You actually said “We have absolutely aborted the campaigns of incumbent presidents before.” Implying that the candidate did not win their nomination. Let’s go ahead and put those goalposts back where they were initially.

            There’s no implication there. The words mean exactly what they say.

              Alright, so your position is invalid. Before moving on, please answer my original questions.

                I’m glad you unilaterally decided that.

                  Actually, you decided that.

                  Answer the questions already.

                    I’m not going to engage in whataboutism.
