    Its too late to ask for it now. We had 3 years to tell him he was a one term president.

    This all feels like sowing division and apathy to try to get a more favorable matchup for Trump

      He was asked by many before he even took office to commit to not running for re-election. Some supporters even tried to assuage apprehension about his age by claiming incorrectly that he had already committed to it. It’s never time to challenge the establishment, according to the establishment and its supporters.

      And there we have the old false dichotomy; pretending that nobody criticizes Biden except to help Trump.

      The “favorable matchup” one looks new, though. As if there somehow IS anyone worse who’d be willing and allowed to run were he to step aside and retire!
