History Favors Running Incumbent Presidents, Whenever Possible

There is a lot of discussion about to run Biden or run someone else. I can't tell you who you should vote for President, or who you'd prefer to lead your country, but if you look at chances of a party winning or losing an election - History could not be clearer - parties should run an incumbent if they at all can run an incumbent. -Incumbents win 2/3rds of the time in American History -Incumbents can affect news and command news in a much greater way than party candidates -Passing off from a President to a candidate is risky and rare in American history. -Most Importantly: The incumbent President is always running anyway. If not on the ballot, in the election issues and discussion, and the party candidate will have to run on that President's record anyway. We also get into the age issue with some snippets of MHCBUYP's 2008 episode on age and the Presidency. That's right from 2008, where we defended a Republican candidate.
