“We will institute the powerful death penalty for drug dealers, where each dealer is responsible for the death, during their lives, of 500 people or more,” he said.

"Mothers will never again be forced to watch their children overdosing in hosp … and we will never allow mothers to watch their child hopelessly dying in their arms screaming, ‘What can I do, what can I do? Help me God, what can I do?’ We are a nation whose once revered airports are a dirty, crowded mess,” Trump continued, pivoting suddenly.

“You sit and wait for hours and then are notified that the plane won’t leave, that they have no idea when they will. Where ticket prices have tripled. They don’t have the pilots to fly the planes, they don’t seek qualified air traffic controllers, and they just don’t know what the hell they are doing.”

“We will take over the horribly run capital of our nation in Washington, D.C., and clean it up, renovate it, and rebuild our capital city, so that it is no longer a nightmare of murder and crime. But rather it will become the most beautiful capital anywhere in the world,” Trump said.

“Right now, if you leave Florida, ‘Oh, let’s go, darling, let’s look at the Jefferson Memorial, let’s look at the Washington Monument, let’s go and look at some of the beautiful scenes,’ and you end up getting shot, mugged, raped,” he warned, promising that he’d run the city “tough and smart.”

      Uh, what?

      Removing trump and Biden from the list, since one of them will see a second term, of the other 4 only Carter didn’t see a second term. Truman was only elected President once, but he served as President for almost 8 full years. Nixon won reelection, but resigned before his second term was out.

      And even if you go as far as saying that 3 of the 4 didn’t serve 2 full terms… I think it’s highly unlikely either of the 2 current candidates will see the 2028 election.

        Yeah I’m just an absolute idiot, that is what’s going on with that comment lmao. You’re right

        Still, if you are comfortable with where Biden’s campaign is at this point, if you’re confident that he can win given his current approval and polls…you’re at least lot more confident than me, and a lot more confident than many democratic lawmakers

      And it’s relatively meaningless because a lot of Americans are forced to vote, every fucking election for their entire adult life, for the lesser evil.
