    And having no primaries turned off a lot of people. It’s like he died and she was sworn into office, except he didn’t actually die and she never took office.

      Yup, and it takes 6 to 8 months to organize a primary, 100 days to the election wasn’t enough time.

        That’s fair, but it’s Biden’s fault we didn’t have that time. After being sworn in, he said he wouldn’t run for re-election, then he broke that promise in a display of horrible judgment.

        But no matter how we got a candidate with no primary, it still turned off a lot of people to just have her dropped on us.
