      Obama would still be unable to run, the amendment would only let people with two non consecutive terms have a third go.

      Why? Because he beat a couple of old school moderate Republicans? He barely managed to beat Romney. Obama has charm, but he’s not the powerhouse people think he is. He was a weak milquetoast president, and exactly the old style type politician that America has flat out rejected.

      Democrats need to wake the fuck up. Returning to the old ways is not going to get us out of this mess. Obama and the Democratic establishment led us here.

        “Barely”? He won by 4% pts and won Ohio and Florida including all blue wall states. I don’t know about barely. Keep in mind Obama was still recovering the country from the financial crisis and Republicans were constantly trying to pin the economy on him.

    Jesus fuck, that is patently insane. 🙄 The biggest problem with Biden is that he was a vegetable the entire time. People were even expecting him to die in office, or have the 25th Amendment used on him.

    Trump is not young, either. The presidency wears down men, just look at Obama before & after. And now we’re talking about blowing up how everything works, eschewing the 22nd Amendment, and for what?? For a chance for an incredibly old Trump to run again, and likely lose? Big brain time, here.

    Get this loser Andy Ogles out of office; he’s drunk or incompetent. Time for him to get a real job.
