    He had to drop out because everyone was crying he was too old, then elected someone equally old but with an actual criminal record.

      The “he had to drop out” part is the issue and it wasn’t just because of people crying about his age, the whole “we finally beat Medicare” and his brain melting on live t.v played a big part.

      I’m like 90% sure he said he’d run for one term when running in 2020, but then he held on to the belief that he was the only one who could win for too long that getting primary elections set up would have taken too long. Republicans were already talking about going to court over Kamala being added to the rolls “too late” so Kamala was “forced” on us.

        He didn’t specify one term in 2020. His aides kept making comments in that direction, but nothing definitive. Back then it made me afraid he’d try to stay for a second term, because that seemed like a sure way to lose…
