No, she didn't have the clout to run this time she got the nomination because of the timing of Biden's decline finally becoming impossible to deny any more after the primaries but before the convention.

[-] bigboopballs@hexbear.net 13 points 3 days ago

Has Biden publicly given a speech since that debate where they shit-canned him afterwards?

I feel like I haven't seen a video of him ever since.

[-] ped_xing@hexbear.net 6 points 3 days ago

You missed "vice president Trump" and referring to the 2020 election in the future tense? They set him up to prove the debate was an isolated incident and he sure proved them wrong.

[-] Darth_Reagan@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

He had an interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC news after the debate to prove it was an isolated incident. Obviously in an effort to prove it was not an isolated incident, but he had a number of flubs during the interview as well. Biden has mostly disappeared from the public eye since then.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

No they'll continue their right wing march and push Newsom. Or maybe they'll grab some "moderate" Republican from Ohio and run their first obviously blue dog

[-] RustyVenture@hexbear.net 7 points 3 days ago

Here’s how John Kasich can still win!

[-] Redcuban1959@hexbear.net 17 points 3 days ago

We will probably never hear about her ever again

[-] REgon@hexbear.net 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

She'll either be a discount Hillary or trotted out as an argument for why [insert slightly less right-wing candidate who is a woman or a POC or a POC woman] is unelectable and therefore can't be the dem candidate in whatever year it is we'll see a new candidate pull a "Bernie '16/'20"

[-] REgon@hexbear.net 19 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

She didn't even have clout to run in 2024. Biden decided he'd run even though he promised not to (Don't um actually me as if it matters he personally didn't say it when his whole campaign was out there talking about it)

That would be funny, but no. She's going to go on a book circuit with Hillary.

[-] MaxOS@hexbear.net 23 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

There was no clout to begin with. They bought a PR cycle for her that expired on sept. 1st.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 21 points 3 days ago

Not at all.

She shouldn't have had the clout this time considering she couldn't even fucking win her own home state in a fair primary before that.

[-] brainw0rms@hexbear.net 19 points 3 days ago

Only if they completely forego the entire concept of primaries again. No way she actually gets picked by the public especially after losing.

[-] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 8 points 3 days ago

No, they're already prepping for Gruesome Newsome 2028. That's why he recently met with Xi. It's all prep work for his campaign in 2028.

[-] Luna@hexbear.net 13 points 3 days ago

I don't think she will, I feel like she only has clout now because the liberals needed to push her as a valid option over Biden (and was already his VP). Even if she does win, I have a feeling she'll only get a single term before the Conservatives can find someone to beat her.

Has anyone else ever run a third time after being unsuccessful twice? The thing about the DNC is they have a production line of anonymous tank-raised ghouls, they learned their lesson about hitching their hopes to one egg after Clinton I think

[-] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 8 points 3 days ago

Biden has been running for president since like 1906.

[-] Runcible@hexbear.net 4 points 3 days ago

Yeah, I am pretty sure this was his fourth run

[-] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 8 points 3 days ago

I think Nixon ran several times before getting elected. He was VP to Eisenhower.

[-] Leon_Grotsky@hexbear.net 2 points 3 days ago

He won (as VP to Eisenhower) in '52 and '56, lost the election to JFK in '60, lost his gubernatorial race in '62, lost the primary in '64 to Barry Goldwater, then he won in '68 and '72.

[-] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 2 points 2 days ago

Ah. I forgot he ran for governor.

[-] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 5 points 3 days ago

they learned their lesson about

No they didn't, they learned nothing.

Trump will execute her following liberal J6

[-] Darth_Reagan@hexbear.net 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

There is no way she wins a primary after losing to Trump. It would very embarrassing for her to even try to seek nomination, and for this reason I doubt she will try.

[-] Ildsaye@hexbear.net 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

She had microscopic clout in the 2020 primary, but here she is. She is doing everything right to prove her ghoul-cred, and her sponsors will no doubt find further uses for her, even if not as presidential candidate. Heck, maybe she can be Secretary of Cruel and Unusual Collective Punishment under Trump

[-] Hexboare@hexbear.net 7 points 3 days ago

No

It's Michelle Obama 2028 if she can sail through the primaries

[-] Commiejones@hexbear.net 9 points 3 days ago

not a chance.

[-] Mokey2@hexbear.net 6 points 3 days ago

I think she would, I think were stuck with KAMALICE posted from my raised ford 150

[-] Hestia@hexbear.net 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Ha. No. It'd be the end of her political career ( at least electorally) and she'll coast off of book deals written by ghost writers and do speeches for rich donors as payment for her time in office.

Whatever bridges she had, she burnt already...
