Just remembering....
I found this piece (below) that I wrote here on February 23 of 2023-- a year and four months ago:
Joe Biden did a pretty good job with the State of the Union speech-- he made a good case for the reasonableness of recent legislation and the need for more. I was impressed.
It probably will bolster his case to run for re-election in 2024, which he seems inclined to do already. And we already know that Donald Trump is in, and that in a fractured primary his command over a broad swath of the Republican base gives him a huge advantage.
But... does anyone else find the idea of a Biden-Trump rematch kind of depressing? The debates will be two elderly guys yelling at each other about stuff, and their own grievances will come to the fore.
Some pundits seem to think there just isn't anyone else in the Democratic stable, and that is just nonsense. Just in the Senate, there are several strong Dems who would be great candidates.
But, we just may end up with those guys in the picture, all over again.
