Biden Winning Could Actually Be Good for the Republicans

[Cellblock2429]

In the long term, Biden defeating Trump could actually be a good thing for the Republican Party. First, the midterm elections usually favor the party not in the White House, so the Republicans would probably have a better shot of winning back the House in 2022 and getting rid of Pelosi once and for all. She is 80 years old. She'd be 82 at that point. If she loses the Speaker position she'll resign from the House guaranteed. Second, Biden is 78 years old, meaning he'd be 82 at the end of his first term. It's highly unlikely he'll run for a second, but if he does, his age will work against him. If he doesn't, his VP will almost certainly be the heir apparent unless he makes a bad pick. In that case, there is no incumbency handicap that the Republican challenger would need to overcome. This provides a great opportunity for younger GOPers like Marco Rubio or Nikki Haley to step up and run in 2024 without the stench of Trump lingering and bogging them down and giving the American people a fresher choice than these constant stale Baby Boomers we keep getting thrown at us. Candidates like Rubio and Haley could also invite a more diverse group of voters into the Republican coalition, which the the party needs if it wishes to remain viable long term.

I said back in 2016 that if Trump were to actually win he could provide a short term gain for the party, but would be disastrous long term and we've seen that play out. Republicans had their worst midterm defeat in 2018 since Watergate. Trump's antics in public and in social media are embarrassing. He's headed for defeat this year and he's dragging the Senate down with him. Senate seats that shouldn't be competitive are being out raised by their Democratic challengers. The Republican Party is no longer about conservatism, but about Trumpism, and his cult like sycophants are becoming just as deranged as their TDS suffering counterparts in their hypocritical defense of him.

Donald Trump had the potential be a great president, but his narcissism got in the way. He keeps tripping over his own feet and if he loses in November he has nobody but himself to blame for it, but ultimately, the party might be better off cutting him loose and letting it happen.

/----/ Number of Republicans who will switch their vote from Trump to Biden based on your theory:

Wrong...

He would replace ginsburg, the other leftist and Thomas with left wing anti-American Justices who would rule against America for the next 30 years.


He is completely bought and paid for by the Chinese as are other leaders of the demcrat party....

He would clamp down on the economy to the point a Great Depression would last 10 or more years...

It would be a disaster

You're not voting for the Groper, you're voting for his running mate

The man has dementia/Alzheimer's.

It's completely obvious to anyone who has dealt with the dreaded disease

"You're not voting for the Groper, you're voting for his running mate"

IMHO, if you vote for Biden you are voting for Schumer and Pelosi. But be careful what you wish for, you might get it. Trump ain't no bargain, but he's better then they are.

Uncle Joe is definitely too old. It's a MUST that he give the VEEP slot to someone way younger and less gaffe prone.
While I agree with much of your post, NO on his election being good for the R Party.
And another four years of Donald and we'll all be up shit creek without a paddle -
R's have gone full Donald and will follow him right off the cliff into WhigLand.

Ask yourself how much more disastrous a Hillary presidency would have been. My take? A lot worse. You say Trump's presidency has been/will be disastrous long term, but for who? The GOP lost the House in 2018 not because of Trump but because they didn't do shit with their majority when they had it. Too many never-Trumpers got themselves thrown out of office. It's true that the GOP is no longer much of a Conservative Party, but they sure as hell are compared to the Democrats.

I think we should worry more about 2020 than 2024. If Trump is replaced by a democrat, what do you think happens to our economy? Have you heard what the Dems are talking about doing? Great God Almighty, bailouts left and right, free everything for everybody, open borders, etc. What could happen to the balance in the SCOTUS with a Dem president making the picks and a Dem Senate confirming them? The GOP might be better off if he loses re-election, but will America? At a time like this, the wrong decisions could be catastrophic IMHO. Times are going to get tough anyway, but there's tough times and then there's FUBAR. Given that choice, I'll go with tough times.

A bunch of rino's retired from the House creating the opportunity for the democrats....they didn't like Trump Tweets, believed the democrat plot about Russia....and left. sorry, biden would be a disaster.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

I'm voting for Jo Jorgensen

Wasted vote

Well if a third party candidate ever had a prayer yeah...but no.

I'm a realist, you're a dreamer.

Don't get me wrong the two party system blows but it is what it is and I won't waste my vote on anyone who doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell.

I now vote for our children's future and anyone left of center won't get it

So you wanted to lose 2016 for some mythical maybe future win and now you want to lose 2020 for the same reason.

I think you just like to lose.

What are young voters turned off of? Pissing away billions in a Paris Accord for which NO country in the Accord even hit their targets? Another global slush fund paid for by the suckers. Or maybe the young are angry that Trump is protecting their jobs from illegal entrants and communist China?

If some mean words upset this generation, that's life. I imagine Trump has made inroads with many of them as even high tech and other industries are at risk of being outsourced if the communist get their way. I'm not always excited about Trumps chatter either, but who knows how I would act if attacked 24/7 when trying to do a job? I do know, he is the only hawk president against communism, communism for crying out loud, since Reagan. That's enough for me.

Until you show me another legitimate hawk on Communist China, Trump is the right pick as far as I am concerned. I say this especially on your Memorial Day. Far too many have lost their lives fighting the abuses of oppressive, communists for anyone to short change them in 2020.

If any young people think this way, direct them to me, I will explain what the risks are of REAL abusive, out of control, unaccountable government, in particular police agencies. You don't need to have a criminal record, allegations or even be a bad human being for your life to be destroyed when socialism, power and CYA is the system of the day.

The young in particular are vulnerable in such a system. They think they are reaping benefits while it's the fossils who decide their fate.
