Comment on House GOP investigators accuse Biden of ‘impeachable conduct’ in long-awaited report

… right. Im not even going to bother trying yo unpack that complete nonsense.

It isn’t nonsense. If you don’t understand basic political theory, that is on you. It is well-known incumbents have a much better chance against a challenger.

Incumbents do have a better chance. But impeaching the current one to suddenly put a VP in, and then applying the same logic of “incumbent better” makes no sense.

She would be the incumbent at that point. The Democrats have a Biden problem. This would allow them to remove the problem and get Kamala some early attention.
If she goes through the normal cycle, she will most likely lose. Both sides have attacked her first policy discussions as horrible. That is only going to get worse as she starts to debate and push her agenda.

This is an incredibly simplistic theory.
