Has anyone else ever run a third time after being unsuccessful twice? The thing about the DNC is they have a production line of anonymous tank-raised ghouls, they learned their lesson about hitching their hopes to one egg after Clinton I think

I think Nixon ran several times before getting elected. He was VP to Eisenhower.

He won (as VP to Eisenhower) in '52 and '56, lost the election to JFK in '60, lost his gubernatorial race in '62, lost the primary in '64 to Barry Goldwater, then he won in '68 and '72.

Biden has been running for president since like 1906.

No, she didn’t have the clout to run this time she got the nomination because of the timing of Biden’s decline finally becoming impossible to deny any more after the primaries but before the convention.

Has Biden publicly given a speech since that debate where they shit-canned him afterwards?

I feel like I haven’t seen a video of him ever since.

You missed “vice president Trump” and referring to the 2020 election in the future tense? They set him up to prove the debate was an isolated incident and he sure proved them wrong.

He had an interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC news after the debate to prove it was an isolated incident. Obviously in an effort to prove it was not an isolated incident, but he had a number of flubs during the interview as well. Biden has mostly disappeared from the public eye since then.

There was no clout to begin with. They bought a PR cycle for her that expired on sept. 1st.
