Jul 16 at 21:07 comment added Questor Person who just shot at Trump was registered as a Republican. On the other hand he donated to the Progressive Turnout Project, and he missed. Which makes me think he wasn't really a Republican.
Jul 15 at 22:15 comment added Alexander The 1st @Jontia: If he were a "maverick firebrand," it would have been an issue in 2020 - see how in 2016 there were Republicans that were "Never Trumpers" - and that continued into 2020's election, and why there's still some during the Republican convention, even if Trump is arguably the "Incumbent" candidate in these cases.
Jul 15 at 17:29 comment added DogBoy37 @Jontia In this context of a candidate that appears to be not as qualified as they once were, a known quantity that the team can count on is IMHO as important as being the incumbent. Uncertainty is bad for business. That includes in politics, because with uncertainty it is difficult to plan your own campaign. The bottomline, in modern times this is without precedent.

Jul 15 at 5:56 comment added Jontia While that may be true, even if he was a maverick firebrand dragging the party in new directions, the second paragraph would almost certainly trump the first.
Jul 14 at 22:13 comment added DogBoy37 @Jontia The first paragraph is important to help understand why so little pushback from in the party initially. Biden was known for either doing (or allowing to be done) the party line. If no one in the party had a reason to complain, no one would be the the first. Biden's career isn't know for any strong positions. Think of it like Aaron Burr in Hamilton, if you like.
Jul 14 at 21:57 comment added Jontia I think the first paragraph detracts from the quality of this answer.
Jul 14 at 18:23 comment added DogBoy37 It will be interesting to see the behavior of those calling for Biden to step down in light of the Trump assissination attempt. With Biden having multiple news conferences, etc. breaking the news cycle.
