At least it won't be Nikki Hayley.  As for the Democrats, are they deliberately trying to lose? Surely Biden should have been asked to step down a year ago. Might as well have a mummy on wheels from a tomb.

He also got Central and South American countries to take their illegal refugees back, unlike some. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/germany-struggles-to-deport-foreigners-as-home-embassies-hang-up-the-phone/ar-BB1i9BIJ?ocid=msedgntp&pc=U531&cvid=7b23aa10f04749b79883455cf3e3f221&ei=14

The Dow Jones has done well the last couple of years.

Trump won't like that. He was always taking about it when President & made decisions based on how it would react.

What you see is what you get with Trump. Still got his marbles. Hope his court cases don't hold him back if he becomes President.

The superdelegates at the DNC became frightened of Bernie Sanders (a more eloquent version of Jeremy Corbyn), and lo and behold all the other contenders including Elizabeth Warren and Pete Buttigieg to name but two, all fell into line.

Once installed it's difficult to remove the incumbent.

Nikki Haley is young but has a lot of experience. No baggage. But miles behind.

She may try again. Hilary made another attempt 8 years after losing to Obama in the primaries.

Richest and most powerful country in the world cannot prevent itself from having a practical corpse for a president. I think that's pathetic.

Remember an episode of the West Wing.

President Bartlett was in a room with 5/6 advisors. Busy.

His Deputy Chief of Staff (Josh) came in & Barlett asked him if had done something.

Josh said 'no'. Bartlett said 'WHY'. Josh gave a weak reason.

Bartlett started laying into Josh & telling what to do. Bartlett's advisors stopped talking while he was telling Josh off.

Josh's only words were 'Yes Sir' before walking out.

Bartlett resumed talking to his advisors as if nothing had happened.

Power.

Wonder why Biden didn't go for President straight after Obama?

Both George Bush & Al Gore were VP's & went straight for big job.

In 2016 age would not have been such as issue.

Seems he stepped aside for Hilary. Not sure why. Biden being VP under Obama was a good thing. Hilary had her chance in 2008 & couldn't even win the primaries.

He saw that Biden was overrated and had more in common with Hillary on issues such as reforming healthcare. Biden had the excuse that he was grieving for his son. From memory I think Michelle Obama wanted Joe Biden to run, but Barack would have had more experience of comparing the two candidates. https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/11/27/fact-check-barack-obama-favored-hillary-clinton-over-joe-biden-2016/6437725002/

Says Trump has been fined 350 million. For inflating the value of his properties to secure cheaper loans.

Thought that would be standard practice from all business men.

It is up to the loan companies to find out the correct value. All business men will want cheaper loans.

Seems Trump may go to prison. For falsifying company accounts to pay off Stormy Daniels with £100,000. Over 8 years ago. It was claimed he met her in 2006.

A £100,000 is hardly Nick Leeson territory considering his businesses are worth billions.

However Trump could have just paid her from his own pocket. That amount would have been loose change for him. Or he could have denied ever meeting her.

Does seem to be a campaign against Trump. With the help of the White House.

This is to tie him up in court cases. This will give him less time, money & energy to campaign to be President.

It will also undermine him. His hardcore supporters will stay but undecideds may be put off him.
