He should've announced he wasn't running again, right after the (fairly) successful midterms... 68er Jun 16 #2

I very openly advocated that he should be running in 2020 expplicitly as a one-term President. Bluetus Jun 16 #20

Agreed. He would not have had to keep any "powder dry" for a second term, in that case... 68er Jun 16 #21

I had strongly hoped when I voted for him ... SomewhereInTheMiddle Jun 17 #29

Manchin and Sinema... Chemical Bill Jun 18 #43

She's definitely correct JBTaurus83 Jun 16 #3

Clinton was asked a question in Interview. She answered it. delisen Jun 16 #11

And people are sick of politicians being evasive and too "coached" Bluetus Jun 16 #22

Yes. He did. Akakoji Jun 16 #12

"So did Biden promise or pledge or signal that he would be a one-term president? No, not explicitly." LymphocyteLover Jun 17 #32

Unnamed sources mean little. Biden himself never made that pledge or promise. He hinted at it once but that's it. LymphocyteLover Jun 18 #49

No, he didn't Mysterian Jun 18 #48

Stating the obvious Akakoji Jun 16 #10

Well, technically he was Polybius Jun 16 #14

What's the difference between technically lying and lying? Akakoji Jun 17 #26

Sadly, I arrived at the same conclusion. sprinkleeninow Jun 17 #23

Pardon me. I love them both but usonian Jun 17 #25

So it's okay to say it now? Demobrat Jun 17 #27

But would it have been better? dadzilla Jun 17 #30

Did you mean AIPAC? nt. Scruffy1 Jun 17 #34

Was she trying to be a progressive dream? Akakoji Jun 18 #45

She is probably right. But we still had a good candidate in Kamala. Katinfl Jun 17 #35

Don't forget that right wing scumballs at Fox (don't call it) news lied about Kamala and Trump ificandream Jun 17 #38

Thanks for the update from the Clinton machine, Hil. Mysterian Jun 17 #36

It means your comment isn't true iemanja Jun 18 #55
