Presidential Election 2020 Biden vs. Trump

It cracks me up that the righties get upset 'cause Biden won't do this or that thing they want like release a Supreme Court list of his own for them to critique.

Like Trump's taxes, it doesn't mean enough to his real supporters. So, no reason to do it.

The only nominee in Biden's mind needs to be Obama. Would be a great Supreme Court Justice, and a great way to go full circle (appointing him to a position).

The only problem is he is probably enjoying Camels and ale too much in retirement to want to come back into public scrutiny, I wouldn't blame him for enjoying privacy, but he would make a great justice.

Ex-Presidents have a pretty good deal. They have plenty of people calling on them to do gigs, speeches or support causes if they want to do them. Everyone who wants to see them probably likes them. They can make their own schedules and plan their own breaks. Hard to beat that. Even a billionaire like Trump will never experience the power like a President has. He never had people who could clear the streets for him if needed. Order an army. Be the most significant individual at every event anywhere.

If Obama did it, it would be because he really really likes doing that, I imagine.

Exactly, and without the kind of public scrutiny that presidents experience.

It would be reasonable for most not to want to give that up.

But, I still think he would make a great justice.

No way. Obama would never give
up his celebrity millionaire
lifestyle for a real job.

Quote: AZDuffman

Of course he doesn't know. I asked the lefties here to back up what he would do and they can't even make something up.

They'll probably just talk about Trump's penis and ass again..............or something else equally creepy. 🤮

The problem with that suggestion is that the only appropriate position for an ex POTUS would be Chief Justice. Associate Justice is simply not prestigious enough.

While David Souter retired months before his 70th birthday, John G Roberts is very unlikely to want to retire before at least 7 years have passed so he can at least be the 3rd longest serving Chief Justice. There is also a chance he will serve another 20 years so that he is the longest serving Chief Justice.

Has anybody else noticed three big mainstream
Libs are very skeptical of Joe Biden winning.
Michael Moore, Bill Maher, and Chunk Yogurt,
whatever his name is, from The Young Turks, are
all saying Trump might win by a bigger margin
than he did in 2016. They're looking at the
enthusiasm factor, which was totally ignored 2016.
Trump's base is extremely fired up, Biden's cannot
be found. That's the only poll you need to look at.
Enthusiasm is why Clinton beat bush in 92.
Enthusiasm is why Obama won 08. Enthusiasm is why
Trump will win 2020.

What on earth would make any sane person thing Obama is qualified to be on SCOTUS? ZERO judicial experience. Very partisan. He is everything you do not want in a judge.

I do not get what it is with Obama's fans. I remember one I met saying he should have been the VP pick of whoever got the nomination. That he was ineligible did not matter to the guy.

Obama's time in the sun is done. Get over him. Find a new cult of personality for your side.
