Miller appeared on Fox News on Sunday, where he went off on a rant about the Democratic votes were thrown away as the party rallies around Vice President Kamala Harris.

“They held a primary. They had ballots. They filled out circles!” Miller shouted on Fox News. “They went to the voting booths. They spent money on advertisements!”

Still yelling, Miller says that Republicans also spent money running against Biden.

    The ideal scenario would’ve been for Biden to keep his word about him being a transitional candidate that would step aside after one term.

    He didn’t really promise per se. He said in some interviews that he saw himself as a bridge candidate, but he never made a pledge. I assume he was trying to not make himself a lame duck president right out of the gate, which can make it difficult to pass policies.

      And I didn’t take that to mean one term. Did he say one term? I took it to mean he wanted to see younger people getting into politics and specifically the presidency after him. That he wanted to pave the way for younger candidates and didn’t want to see old guys like himself in office anymore.

        This is what he was ‘privately signalling’ before he was elected.

        “If Biden is elected,” a prominent adviser to the campaign said, “he’s going to be 82 years old in four years and he won’t be running for reelection.”

        Sure, he didn’t pledge it, but his campaign made it clear this was the plan and it’s not like any of the age concerns were new if they were talking about them before he was even elected the first time.

        But then again, they successfully gaslit everyone about this thing, same as the $2000 check if Warnock and Ossof got elected that turned into a $1400 check (or was it 1200?).
