That mans in trouble, politically in trouble, Joe Biden said of then-President Jimmy Carter in July 1979, according to an account at the time in the Wilmington Evening Journal. Biden had held off on publicly backing Carter because he wanted to endorse a candidate who would ensure Democrats retained the White House in the 1980 election. Im not certain thats Jimmy Carter right now, he told the paper. Biden was in a position to know. He held a leadership post in Carters successful 1976 presidential bid after becoming the first sitting U.S. senator to endorse him. Biden eventually backed Carters failed 1980 re-election bid, and the bond they formed early in Bidens career lasted through a large part of their lives. Now Biden is himself in the White House and stumbling in some of the same ways as Carter as he sets out to win a second term. Both men struggled to sell legislative victories and retain the partys core voters as high inflation and foreign-policy disasters eroded their support. And both men had a disconnect with voters thats leaving Democrats afraid that Biden could share Carters political fate of being a one-term president. What goes around comes around. >_> --- Stop it.

archizzy 02/19/24 6:55:47 PM #5:	The difference is Carter really was in trouble where as Biden will beat Trump easily. Its not hard to see Biden has this in the bag. Even the people who dont like him know hes easily the best candidate to beat Trump and the most viable option.
