he'd rip her to shreds, run Ron run.
I actually think if it were a few years ago she could have given him a run for his money.
I think she is also getting a bit too old, so who knows.
I personally don’t like either.

Let’s face it, Biden is way way too old and has dementia, Trump is too old and is going to be embroiled in nonstop problems.
Let’s not discuss those things, but more so who does that leave????
Here are possible candidates that stick out….. Brace yourself…
Hillary Clinton
Michelle Obama
Andrew Yang
Bernie Sanders
Marco Rubio
Ron Desantis
Ivanka Trump
There are host of other possibles but I wanted to stick with the names I really think have a chance. I think Bernie is out because the public is sick of elderly presidents.
To get into the woo woo, there were several world psychics that said they all see a woman president next….
Being a woman that’s great, being an American there is not a single female candidate I would vote for on that list.
Maybe this is the problem, we are being given the choice of liver or onions for dinner.

Has the party of a sitting President ever tried to run a different candidate? 🤔 I'm genuinely curious to know how typical it is for a Party to not even consider their own incumbent.

What condition?
Other than hearsay that comes from his opposition.
As far as saying stupid stuff -- it seems that's something he's always done -- and has nothing to do with age.

What condition? Dementia, old age. I don't need to hear it from the opposition I can see it with my own eyes.
He is almost 80 and let's face it, it's showing. This is not even about political affilation, it's about his cognitive ability. To be fair I also think Trump is going down that path. He is nowhere near Joe but he too is old old old.

Here's your answer ...
Only once did an ELECTED President not receive the nomination of his party.
-
The 14th President of the United States was Franklin Pierce, a Democrat who won election in 1852.
Democrats had grown tired of Pierce, mainly due to his stance on slavery (especially controversial was his signing of the Kansas-Nebraska Act and his enforcing of the Fugitive Slave Act). At the 1856 Democratic Convention, Pierce was defeated on the 17th ballot by James Buchanan.
Without his party's nomination, Pierce would become the first and only elected President (as of right now) to not receive the nomination of his party.
So, The Rock. Who doesn't like The Rock.
