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.

But let's get real. Biden is highly unlikely to voluntarily step aside. And forcing him out will cause sufficient damage to make sure Trump wins. So how about another alternative - still thinking outside the box.

Harris isn't nearly as popular as Biden. What if Biden dropped her and put, say, Kinzinger in the VP spot? The first words out of his mouth would need to be something like:
My main job as VP is to make sure Biden is fit for the job. At the first hint he is no longer mentally or physically capable of being President, I'll start 25th amendment proceedings.


What a spectacle. I don't see a chance of it. but I'd back that.
