news Nikki Haley: Biden is likely to die within five years

[midnightdawn]

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley said Wednesday that President Joe Biden, 80, is likely to die within five years and that his supporters would have to count on Vice President Kamala Harris if he were to win re-election next year.

 

“He announced that he’s running again in 2024, and I think that we can all be very clear and say with a matter of fact that if you vote for Joe Biden you really are counting on a President Harris, because the idea that he would make it until 86 years old is not something that I think is likely,” Haley, 51, said in an interview on Fox News.

 

In an unusually blunt response from the White House, deputy press secretary Andrew Bates told NBC News, “As you know, we don’t directly respond to campaigns from here. But honestly, I forgot she was running.”

Given how an 80 y/o man is more sane than any of the GOP candidates, I will take that risk.

[Archetype]

And he'd still make a better president than her 

[GraceRandolph]

The Republicans are going to go HARD on Biden’s age in 2024. It will NOT be pretty. The debates will be BRUTAL if he’s up against Trump which looks most likely. 

[LustSpell]

Him as a corpse would be a better President than her 💀

Duh? Isn’t the life expectancy for an American male like 78?

Who okay’d this statement?  can’t think of a dumber thing to say. “As you know we don’t respond to campaigns, but here’s our response to her campaign”

With Trump as nominee, there probably won't be any debates at all, and both parties will be more than happy with that. Trump always accuses moderators of being unfair to him, and Biden runs the risk of blowing up everything with a gaffe so bad that exposes the fact that his mind isn't really there anymore.

They were testing the waters during Palin/Trump eras and now they’ve learned being outwardly offensive and dishonest works and without reproach.

What's dishonest about saying that an 80 year old man is likely to die of old age when he's already lived past the life expectancy of an American male?

 

Offensive? Only to pearl-clutching Democrats who are in denial about how close to the brink Biden is and are under the delusion that he's still the same spring chicken that debated circles around Paul Ryan. He's declined HEAVILY in the last ten years, and it shouldn't be offensive to acknowledge that.

ClashAndBurn is not a Trump supporter. Most of the US wants new candidates anyway. Most do NOT want Biden to run for re-election.

I know you're not calling Democrats pearl-clutching with the current state of the Republican party

I despise both of these old men, and not even because either of them are old/"past their prime" or whatever. If Trump croaked from choking on his nightly Big Mac+McFish meal, Biden would be even more screwed by having a much younger foil to contrast him, so you should be praying for a Trump candidacy since that's genuinely the Democrats' best chance at holding onto the fickle suburban moderates.

You DON'T think Democrats spent four years clutching their pearls over a fictional pee tape filmed in a Russian hotel?

The insult they're doing is not about Biden himself - they're trying to pivot to the bigger liability that is Kamala. 

 

Trump similarly could soon die but he doesn't have a VP yet to make the argument on if he'd leave his presidency in bad hands.

Didn’t she get pissed when Don Lemon said she was past her prime? And now she’s here commenting on age  typical Republican hypocrite

Don Lemon was being sexist with his comments, and THAT was what made people (not just Nikki Haley) angry with him. Not that I'd expect too many gay men on ATRL to care about misogyny.

 

Biden's age would be less relevant if his chosen successor wasn't so horrendous and unpopular.

[Helios]

She’s just pressed that Kamala will be the first Indian president.

[Bosque]

Not only is it a very strange thing to say, it’s also completely incorrect since once you reach 80 you actually have a very good statistical chance to live quite a few more years. But no one ever accused republicans of knowing their facts. 

[Bloodflowers.]

Which is why it's important to defeat Biden in Democratic primaries  

 

Not only because of his questionable status but because Biden is unpopular and lacks energy to get voters out. Last election he barely beat Trump with 11k votes in swing states despite Trump's unpopularity and Covid crisis. In 2024, Biden is a losing game against any Republican nominee because he is unelectable and unpopular and lacks to motivate young and apolitical people to go out and vote.

 

[Bang Up]

I mean, he's old as hell, but there's no way of knowing he's going to die in five years and this is simply a gross, disrespectful thing to say. If the shoe was on the other foot, Republicans would be having a field day, and the so-called progressives who weirdly push Republican talking points on a daily basis would also be pissed at Dems.
