Rock bottom for embarrassing U.S politics? Me thinks not!
If Trump and Biden are their party’s presidential nominees in 2024, the American voter will be tasked with more than making a ‘lesser of two evils’ choice, but one as distasteful as picking up a turd at the clean end. Trump is so hated he can’t win. Biden is unfit for the position, has the country in shambles, blames Trump for all his failures (now the Afghanistan withdrawal debacle), and despite the mainstream’s whitewash narrative he has the second lowest favorable rnking at this point of a presidency – Trump at number one – and his own party favors his not seeking another term.
Alvin Bragg’s indictment was foolish and the Dems euphoria will be short-lived when the Republicans seek vengeance. In two short years America’s prosperity has been diminished, its security threatened, and its world image tarnished.
Maybe, just maybe, this is rock bottom for embarrassing U.S. politics

The Republican nominating electorate, although not invariably farsighted, surely will recognize that if Trump is the Republican nominee, his November 2024 defeat is highly probable: A national majority of voters dislike him and hate the chaos he promises and delivers. Besides, is anyone undecided about him?
Trump, however, evidently believes, as much as he believes anything, that it is impossible for him — martyr and Superman — to lose in any unrigged process. So, if he is defeated for the Republican nomination, his inexhaustible spite might motivate him to try to doom the Republican nominee. If Trump urges his supporters not to vote, enough might obey to defeat whoever is the nominee of the party that has lost the popular vote in seven of the past eight presidential elections.
Republicans should try to avoid this by fielding, before the first candidates’ debate in August, an array of aspirants from their strong bench. Granted, it is risky to divide the non-Trump vote. It is, however, riskier today to wager everything, about nine months before Iowa begins the delegate selection, on one person.
Largely because of the nation’s generally dyspeptic mood, Biden’s job approval is the second lowest of any president at this point in a first term in more than 30 years. (Trump’s was lower.) It is unlikely to suddenly improve. The increasing improbability of a second Trump term erases Biden’s principal rationale for seeking reelection. This gives him an opportunity to perform something vanishingly rare: a nation-healing act of statesmanship.
