Real Time With Bill Maher: 'New Rule: Ruth Bader Biden'

Source:Real Time With Bill Maher- saying that Joe Biden is now Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

"Someone has to convince President Biden that if he runs again, he’s going to turn the country back over to Trump and go down in history as Ruth Bader Biden." 

From Real Time With Bill Maher

Imagine if we lived in a perfect world and while you are at that, also imagine that you have your own personal time machine, that you didn't even have to order online, or even pay for a shipping charge, let alone have to pay for the time machine itself. Wait, you now you live in a perfect world, so you no longer need a time machine. But if you live in a perfect world, everything that Bill Maher said about it's time for Joe Biden to go, might not only make sense, be believable, but he might even be correct. But Bill Maher would be one of the first people (at least on Planet Earth) to tell you that we don't live in a perfect world. 

You can show me all the polls in the Democratic Party that suggest that President Biden shouldn't run for reelection and that Donald Trump might actually beat him. But for me at least to even take those polls seriously, you need someone besides a professional conspiracy theorist, whose in the same age range and generation as both Donald Trump and Joe Biden, to not only announce their own presidential campaign, but show polling that suggests that they could not just beat Joe Biden, but then beat Donald Trump next year as well. 

Some might say that well no one else besides Robert F. Kennedy JR. (who struggles just to put words together, let alone sentences) has announced their own campaign against President Biden, someone who struggles just to get on the state ballots, in Democratic states, of all places, let alone struggles to get 15% of the vote against Joe Biden, because they don't want to divide the Democratic Party. Well if that's the case, then why are they talking about Joe Biden needs to step down, so some other Democrat can step up. Joe Biden is still around 90% in the Democratic Party and in the low 40s nationally, as well has a coalition of Republican voters who once again would vote for him against Donald Trump. 

You can't think that all the new legal cases, the indictments, all the financial trouble that Donald Trump is facing, is helping him with Independents, a group that he lost overwhelmingly to Joe Biden in 2020. As Max Boot said on CNN last week (and I'm paraphrasing) the choice is not between the perfect and imperfect. The choice here is between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. The choice is between a good, honest, man, who believes in the United States, believes in liberal democracy, believes in the rule of law, and our checks and balances, versus someone who doesn't believe in those liberal democratic, America values, whose running for President simply to get himself out of legal jeopardy and clear is allies that are also in legal jeopardy as well, who wants to operate and live about the law. 

It's one thing to say that Joe Biden shouldn't run for reelection. But I didn't hear Bill Maher mention anyone who should run for President as the Democrat in the President's place. You can quote James Carville all you want, but Carville doesn't have a Democratic alternative to Trump either. 

What we learned during the Barack Obama years is that the Democratic Party is not good at developing its bench or its farm system, at least at the national level. They're not good at grooming people to take over and become the next leader of the Democratic Party, let alone the next President of the United States. And if you look at approval ratings even in the Democratic Party of Vice President Kamala Harris, someone who I do personally approve of and think she's been good for President Biden, as far as running his administration, but perhaps not politically, the Democratic Party still doesn't have any alternative to President Biden. 

So it's either stick with Joe, or Joe drops out and we see a Democratic free for all, between left-wing Democrats who'll promise the world to everybody and tell everyone it won't cost anything. Versus center-right Democrats who will try to run a general election campaign during the Democratic primaries, but when they think they need more Democrats, while try to talk like they're actually leftists, leaving everybody to believe who is this person and why do they actually believe. Versus The Devil in Donald Trump, with American voters probably choosing The Devil that they already know, over the Democrat.
