Bill Maher, the liberal host of HBO�s �Real Time with Bill Maher,� said
during his most recent show that President Joe Biden (D) needs to drop Vice
President Kamala Harris (D) from the 2024 ticket should he decided to run for
a second term.

Maher made the remarks during a segment where he spoke with left-wing The
Atlantic writer Caitlin Flanagan and CNN commentator Van Jones about the
upcoming presidential elections.

�It�s very hard to take the nomination away from the president,� Maher said.
�What I could see is replacing the vice president because she�s not very
popular anywhere. And it didn�t seem to work out. And I don�t know. That�s
been done before in a ticket.�

Flanagan said that Harris was not only an �off-putting person,� but that she
also has �a lot of baggage that probably wouldn�t do well under a lot of
scrutiny.�

�I just think she�s a bad politician,� Maher responded. �And I don�t � I
think she�s a very bright person. But I can see them doing that because a lot
of the problem with Biden being old is, �Oh, if he dies then you know you�re
gonna get this person.� OK, so here�s the problem with the Democratic party.
They�re so boxed in by identity politics that you cannot conceive of a
Democratic ticket that doesn�t have a woman and person of color on it. And
pretty soon you�re gonna line up behind that gay Latino and you�re gonna have
to have, you know, a deaf Eskimo be the��

Jones jumped in to claim that Biden was �an example of identity politics�
because he claimed that black voters looked at Biden and said to themselves,
�We think we need to put a white guy in here.�

Maher then defended Biden from those who point out that he is older president
in U.S. history, saying, �Would I like to have great wisdom in the body of a
20-year-old? Yes.�

�I admit, he is gonna have trouble in the debate. Debates are gonna look bad.
Prepare for it now. There�s gonna be some senior moments. OK, he could show
up without pants. That�s true,� Maher said. �It doesn�t matter. It has
nothing to do with running the country.�

Indeed - FDR won 4 terms with 3 separate VPs.

Very good point.

Though I initially read it as a "DEAD Eskimo" and reacted 'has it
really come to that?' before I realized my mistake.

>Jones jumped in to claim that Biden was “an example of identity politics”

That's a crock though no question Biden has thoroughly embraced the
"identity" and "equity" gospels. Trouble is as "leader of the free
world" that encourages other country's leaders (Justin Trudeau a
notable example) to go forth and do likewise.

>Maher then defended Biden from those who point out that he is older president
>in U.S. history, saying, “Would I like to have great wisdom in the body of a

I wouldn't - they couldn't be president. 35 years plus one day - yeah
that's OK.

>“I admit, he is gonna have trouble in the debate. Debates are gonna look bad.

I'd thought of that and just plain couldn't imagine Biden winning a
debate against anybody. The main thing he had in his favor in 2020 was
that he wasn't DJT - and too many of his compatriots tried more or
less successfully to tack on "features" (again both 'identity' and
'equity' are prime examples) that are completely out of anything the
Democratic party has embraced.

Biden also didn't have to actually campaign. He had the excuse of the
pandemic to basically sit in his basement in his underwear eating
applesauce and campaign by proxy.

Voter fraud was another huge factor.

Depending on what Biden's record looks like if/when he runs, he may
*again* not have to campaign.

You're in good company. The OP's subject line quotes Maher as saying
Harris is "not bright" ...followed by Maher saying, "I think she's a
very bright person". So, 'dead Eskimo' may not be far off...

Well, if his record looks like it does now, he shouldn't *bother*
campaigning.

Joe Biden might not be the brightest bulb on the Hanukkah bush, but he is no idiot

Especially if the big fat orange weasel is his opponent.

I think the biggest factor was him being able to use the epedemic as an
excuse to campaign from his basement and therefore not exposing his senility.

The brain-damaged Democrat running for Senate in PA is trying to use the same
tactic.
