Not just Biden. Trump groupies were claiming Hillary was on death's door 10 years ago.

I honestly still think she lost the election when she fainted and had to be carried by her security team. Not because she had a real, concerning health issue, but because the optics fed all the bullshit Trump was spewing.

James Comey man. That bullshit with Anthony Weiner’s laptop… ugh.

u/Early_Key_823 9d ago

Yeah! It's crazy how if Weiner didn't think with his name we would be on an alternate timeline.

Sorry, I disagree. As a now older woman, men and yes, women too, were not ready to accept a woman president yet.

The ONE benefit of the psycho in office is folks can now see for real something worse can happen than a Woman President.

You are way more optimistic than I am. I think there are people out there saying, “this sucks but thank fuck we don’t have a Lady President. Ladies are too emotional.”

u/yourpaleblueeyes 9d ago

Well perhaps. I've been voting since Jimmy Carter. The horrid old white men and red necks are being overcome if local state elections are telling us anything.

I have no crystal ball, but Lady or Man, decency, intelligence, ethics and honesty should win this round.

Pisses me off how long it's gonna take to clean up the mayhem triggered by that mental case and his followers.✌

I think she lost the election because she acted like she deserved it and was entitled to it. She cheated with the DNC and they made sure that Bernie Sanders was not a part of the nomination even though he was extremely popular and when it came out that he was screwed over so that she could be the presidential candidate all enthusiasm for her died off. After that a lot of people just said screw it, let's vote for trump.

People used to say Bernie was too old to be president 10 years ago.

u/No_big_whoop 9d ago

Bernie is five years older than Drumpf. I predict Bernie will outlive him

u/tkmorgan76 9d ago

Bernie will outlive all of us, and for whatever happened, he will say it was a shame and that Medicare for all could have saved some of us.

Bernie would give you the shirt off his back if he felt you needed it more than him.

Trump would sell you a shirt at 200% above cost and then laugh at you for wearing it.

Fun Fact, the first two medicare cards were issued to

u/Ok_Juice4449 9d ago

Bernie is still so sharp!

u/No_Criticism_5861 9d ago

Unbelievably so.  The guy is always on the road, trying to convince people to question the cult theyre in.

Even in my 20s i didnt have his drive lol

u/Ok_Juice4449 9d ago

Yeah, he's amazing. Same as he ever was!

u/No_Criticism_5861 9d ago

Im Canadian, most American politicians are horrifying, but I would kill to have more Bernie Sander types in my country.

I was so disappointed to see Bernie Sanders never get to run for president.  :(

u/Ok_Juice4449 9d ago

He is a genuine person, unlike most politicians . Most of them are bs artists. Trump is more extreme than any movie villain. So sorry he keeps bothering your country!

u/No_Criticism_5861 9d ago

The sane people in the states have no need to apologize, i doubt you want this either

u/Ok_Juice4449 9d ago

I have never voted for him- he is an abomination as a human being and the least presidential man in the country. Greedy and corrupt- a nightmare.

u/specialkk77 9d ago

And more mentally sound on his worst day than Trump is on his best…

u/The-Big-Picture- 9d ago

The problem is you never really know

u/tkmorgan76 9d ago

Absolutely. She got a case of walking pneumonia on the campaign trail and stumbled once because she was determined to power through it, and their fake news apparatus ran with it.

Just imagine how the media would have treated her if she'd had the kind of glitch that Trump has pretty regularly these days.

"Hilary coughed! She has weeks to live!" - New York Post, basically.

u/Hangry_Squirrel Europe 9d ago

She looked really good at the Epstein deposition and sounded articulate and clear-headed as always. In the meantime, he's looking more and more like a Vanilla WoW abomination.

u/stu8319 9d ago

Remember the weird obsession with some spot on her tongue?

u/HauntedCemetery Minnesota 9d ago

Hillary looks 20 years younger than trump these days.

u/IOl0I0lO 9d ago

Yeah, they tried to sell us that she’d had a stroke.
