(1,554 posts)He left us all with the impression that he'd voluntarily leave after one term. But, his feelings?
Biden *felt* he was up for the job of campaigning for a second term when he clearly wasn't.
I called him the best "president of my lifetime" up until that disastrous debate. I knew then we'd lose the presidency and both houses of congress.
Even then, he didn't get out. It took weeks of convincing him, with Nancy Pelosi giving the final push, which came far too late. It gave Kamala little time to ramp up a campaign.
Also, IMHO, his choice of her as VP was weird. She was the very bottom of the primary picks in 2020.
Kamala should have been the AG, instead of Garland. She'd have made a fine president, but so would so many other Dem candidates.
Biden saved us from Trump in 2020, only to deliver him to us in 2024.
Those are my "feelings."
