We have absolutely aborted the campaigns of incumbent presidents before. The DNC and White House however worked very hard to shut down any criticism during the primary timeframe, refused to have debates, disburse money, etc

So if they’re going to treat this full election as a preference poll on Biden, then so will the people. And his approval numbers are bad.

We have absolutely aborted the campaigns of incumbent presidents before.

Once… Over 100 years ago…

How bad do you want to roll those odds on trump getting elected again? Also, who are you supporting for president this time round, and what do you figure their chances are of winning?

I said aborted the campaign, not lost the nomination. Usually the candidates have the good sense to bow out before that happens.

Are you talking about Truman? One guy who started to seek the presidency, after serving 1.5 terms, and then pulling out before being the presumptive nominee? I don’t think history is on your side for this one.

Also, answer the questions please.

Edit: You actually said “We have absolutely aborted the campaigns of incumbent presidents before.” Implying that the candidate did not win their nomination. Let’s go ahead and put those goalposts back where they were initially.
