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.

hclasvegas, why do you keep framing these political problems as reasons why Biden "won't be on the ballot?"

Biden's already on all the primary ballots (save NH) - no matter how flawed a candidate he may be, there's no way he'll be removed from the primary ballots.

Biden's running basically unopposed in the primaries - so no matter how flawed a candidate he may be, he will win the nomination. Because no one's running against him.

Again, without an opponent, there's no way the nominee is anyone but Biden. There's no mechanism for him not to get the nomination.

So why do you keep saying he won't be on the ballot, rather than saying that he won't win the election? What is the mechanism by which you think these - or any - political liabilities will keep him from securing the nomination?"

It should be noted that albaby is a very sharp guy, a gentleman, and a scholar, sort of like my old pal Jim. Just to confirm I'm consistently ignorant and uninformed and always wrong.
