Dear Candidate to replace Biden:

I hope you have really, really, really thought about this.

1. Be prepared to have every word you wrote/said to be scrutinized/faked/manipulated by Rs

2. Be prepared to have everything bad that had happened during your political or business life be scrutinized/faked/manipulated by Rs, and used as a reason to impeach you.

3. Be prepared to have every adult child followed, their bank and business records subpoenaed and put on trial in Congress by MTG, Jim Jordan, etc.

4. Be prepared to have every gift you've ever given, every trip you've ever taken to be a considered a bribe, a phony business deal, etc. and a reason to impeach you and imprison the recipients of said gifts.

5. Be prepared to have your children, grandchildren spied upon, their personal phones/computers/diaries stolen and used against you.

6. Be prepared to be labeled a demon, an enemy of the state, a pedo, a child killer, and everything vile under the sun.

7. Be prepared for anything and everything that could possibly destroy your life, your family's lives and your friends - heck, everyone you ever knew or talked to.

8. And BTW, this will be done not only by your enemies, but those who purport to care about your health and well being.

9. Make certain that you will never, ever, fall off a bike, trip over a word, make a mistake that millions of us make daily, catch a cold, admit you're tired from jet lag, break your ankle.

10. And lastly, you MUST with every word you say, every action you do, must be PERFECT so you can overpower your enemies with the Sword of Justice and the Cloak of Invincibility with your mind.

All of the above, if you decide to accept it, will happen as it is currently happening to Joseph R Biden.

As the wags say, “Politics ain’t beanbag”. If you want to climb to the top, you have to be willing to take a lot of abuse, backbiting, jealousy, name-calling, lies about your record, and more. Are you saying, Eva, that younger, more vibrant candidates should be very very afraid of big, bad Trump, and cower in fear?

They're already afraid of the violence, the abuse, the impeachment threats, etc., etc., etc. And they're in the Republican party. If they weren't, they would have kicked the lying felon "OLD MAN" who really is incoherent to the curb. They didn't. Instead, they wear red ties and show up at his felony trial. But, it seems, a good many people here are terrified of anyone making a mistake or taking a fall, and now thinking of abandoning the only one who has beaten the Orange Snake.

Love this, thank you. Tired of all the hand wringing. Joe is not just a good but a GREAT candidate, we need to realign behind him. P.s. we should all be donating by June 30, they'll be reporting campaign earnings and it's important. You know the MAGAs, they've been donating like crazy. They love their convicted felon!

A corpse is not a good candidate or a great candidate, as a prayer isn’t a good or great campaign strategy.

Just saw a headline in passing that Biden raised something like $14million after the debate. Also starting to see comments on other sites that Biden got stronger as the debate went on, so if you only saw the end, it would be clear Biden won.
