→The Atlantic says its time for Joe to go
*A week ago, the MSM would have happily sold its firstborn for Biden. Now they sound like disappointed parents. "[https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/08/opinion/hunter-biden-child.html It’s Seven Grandkids, Mr. President]" (Maureen Dowd!, ''New York Times''). This is about Navy Roberts, Hunter's illegitimate daughter. Then there is "[https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/4086058-when-is-the-optimal-time-for-biden-to-drop-out-of-the-race/ When is the optimal time for Biden to drop out of the race?]" (''The Hill'') Ouch!<br/>So when is the best time for an incumbent president to drop out of the race for reelection? Both Truman in 1952 and Johnson in 1968 dropped out after disappointing results in the New Hampshire primary. In both cases, the New Hampshire result was a pretext, or at least not the whole story. As with Biden, Johnson's health was declining. He died of heart disease in 1973. [[User:PeterKa|PeterKa]] ([[User talk:PeterKa|talk]]) 17:53, July 8, 2023 (EDT)

::God observation. Remember, Biden's a party man, not really an egoist. I think if Anita Dunn and other party bosses go to him and say, "it's time to do the honorable thing," (like the GOP Senators did to Nixon, too) he'll drop out. As to Kamala, they may think they can control her as they did Biden, but then again, maybe not. There certainly is no love lost between her, the White House staff, and the Biden family. So the big problem is to get rid of 'em both at the same time, which is a Truman/LBJ scenario.

::So the media's job is to sow disaffection with the public and party loyalists, while still trying to keep RFK down on the farm before they let Newsom out of the gate (kinda of a replay how the GOP party machine brought DeSantis along. But there's still plenty of time). [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|''Give Peace a chance'']]</sup> 18:42, July 8, 2023 (EDT)

:::We all set for a rerun of 1968, with Joe Biden as the sickly Lyndon Johnson and RFK Jr as Eugene McCarthy. Gavin Newsome and Kamala Harris are RFK Sr. and Hubert Humphrey. The dominant issue in 1968 was race riots. Hopefully, those don't come back. [[User:PeterKa|PeterKa]] ([[User talk:PeterKa|talk]]) 07:24, July 9, 2023 (EDT)

::::Very good and insightful analysis. I would say specifically Newsom in the role of [[HHH]] once RFK is eliminated (no joke, I wouldn't be surprised to see "extreme measures" taken against RFK Jr or Kamala either, as the stakes are as high or higher today as then, or at least perceived to be so).
