Historian who predicted 9 of the last 10 election results says Democrats shouldn't drop Joe Biden

Allan Lichtman, the historian who has correctly forecast the results of nine out of the 10 most recent presidential elections argued on Saturday that replacing President Joe Biden could cost Democrats the 2024 election.  

Lichtman, a professor at American University, rejected the growing chorus of political pundits and Democratic activists who have called on Biden, 81, to bow out of the presidential race after his disastrous debate performance last week against former President Donald Trump. The pivotal moment brought fresh questions about Biden’s age and ability to serve a second term.

“It’s a huge mistake. They're not doctors. They don't know whether Biden is physically capable of carrying out a second term or not,” Lichtman said during an interview with CNN of calls to replace Biden. “This is all foolhardy nonsense.”

  1. Classic. Equates "bad debate performance" with evidence of dementia. My favorite "their not doctors", in other words, you may not make any decisions based on your own logic and senses. I wonder which party endorses that form of thinking. Let Biden prove us wrong and release medical records from an objective neurologist.

  2. Saw a patient in the ER yesterday who had a TIA where for 3 minutes he just stared into space and was non-responsive. His wife said "Yeah, he went all Biden-like for 3 minutes."

  3. Honest question: Rabbi DT, why is it that in Torah Hashkafa you believe that everyone should make an informed decision for themselves and not blindly follow so called DaasTorah, but in politics it makes sense to you to follow MSM and politicians even if they tell you what is right is left and what is left is right.
