If Trump is not removed from office by the Senate....

Or he doesn't step down, Biden will probably be getting my vote.

One thing we have been blessed with in this country is a continuing and peaceful transfer of power for the Presidency. It's huge and takes place as well as it does here in very few other places. Different parties? "Enemies"? Doesn't matter. One of the smoothest transfers we have ever seen was between the Obama and Bush administrations. It's just what we do, for the most part.

If Trump maintains power and loses the election I want Biden ready. He will be walking into a decimated Executive Branch and connected agencies. He probably won't be briefed as an incoming President should be. A lot is going to be missing.

I really don't like to be forced into voting this way and I hope I'm not. Biden is uniquely qualified to successfully pull of a transfer of power where the outgoing administration doesn't give a shit.

I'm not saying I won't be voting for Biden if someone else is in the WH.

My two cents. I'm sure I have change coming.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

But, what if Trump refuses to leave, if he loses the election?

together. Obama didn't get a lot of help with Bushco and he managed fine. I am confident most all our people will do a fine job and the least of my concern. Certainly not a reason I am going to put a check next to a name.

Very inaccurate comment. Bush was passionate about supporting Obamas transition. It was very well covered.

who are qualified to be president and could beat Trump in an election. IMO if Biden becomes the Ds choice the Rs are not going to let it go and they will use every bit of air time to connect Biden with the impeachment resulting in most Americans resorting to the both sides do it argument and so they will not vote or they will vote for Trump. IMO Biden should realize what his presence as the candidate will do and bow out now for the good of the country. Almost any one of the candidates is able to beat Trump. Biden is not our only hope.

who is qualified to be President. I'm not even sure how the actions of one can lead to the qualifications for the office.
