The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Fourth. We have a process to nominate presidential candidates. Biden (and Trump) have won those processes. Why should the winner of that processes suddenly step aside? We don't really have a way of coming up with a new nominee at this point.

Yes. I may not understand why the right has chosen Trump as their standard-bearer (despite albaby's attempts to make sense of it), but that is the case. We have the two candidates, chosen by the processes of democracy. So be it.

I wouldn't be surprised if the winner doesn't last another four years (both men are old), so the VP choices may be more interesting than in the past. They could be the new POTUS in a few years.
