I have a good test based on these questions: "Do you know who the president is? Can you read? Can you walk up a set of stairs without falling down them? Can you have a conversation with leaders without pooping your pants? Can you remember what you stood for or said, last year, last week, yesterday? What's your position on snorkels?"
This would cancel out Roosevelt, Ford, and Biden.

There are two types of people in this world, those that have thrown away a pair of underwear and those that lie about it. Sadly I‘d never reach the ranks of president under your popularity contest. I like snorkels and I’m honest.

Did Trump win the presidency? This is from Quora.
Maria Bartiromo went on her Fox Business show and said 'an intel source' is 'telling me that President Trump did in fact win the election. Should she identify the source?
Well if she did and her Intel source checks out and this information proves that Trump won the election, then she will have saved the Trump administration.
So why isn’t she doing that?
There are two possibilities. Either she is actively stopping Donald Trump from rightfully continuing his presidency by suppressing the information he needs to prove he won the election.
Or she is full of shit.
Those are the only two possibilities.
Take your pick.

I would like to know how 1 person can have a source that claims he won the presidency. He lost multiple swing states...so having 1 source telling her he won is pretty far fetched.

The 4th option is she's an attention whore and is looking for ways to boost her viewership. It's like so many of these people that claim to have "proof" they never amount to anything, but they keep spouting off and claiming they will reveal.....only to never to it. They claim it as long as people care and go for the bait. Once people stop caring, the claims seem to generally just disappear....no "proof" ever comes to light because it never existed.

I subscribe to your 4th option. Politics drive media. Media gets $ from advertising. It is truly a "follow the money" situation to me. I don't believe we have anything close to an unbiased press. It's changed DRAMATICALLY in my lifetime. (at least I believe it has?)

I did watch the election pretty closely. When I went to bed, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Georgia were all pretty solidly Trump decided with like 95% of the precincts reporting. Trump lost EVERY state along with hotly contested Wisconsin, AZ and Michigan(?) along with some others I can't remember exactly. Trump lost every one of those? That's kind of odd to me. That could happen but I'm not sure how mathematically possible those odds were? I have never been one to not trust an election but I'm watching pretty closely now. Trump still lost but losing every one of those states is quite odd to me.

Time will tell. She is just stirring the pot to keep the questions alive so that people will think before they vote.

The whole Harris on the Supreme court thing just throws me off, why would this ever be a thing? The whole only picking a black woman thing also throws me off and undermines whoever he's going to pick. A candidate may be the most qualified and suitable for the job and thanks to Biden now she's just filling boxes and only there because she's a black woman. Congratulations on undermining whoever you pick.

And what's with Breyer? Did he just get a tap on his shoulder, guess what? You're retiring? I don't feel like he was really planning on retiring and he's been told he's going to.
Likely taking one for the team to make sure his spot if filled by the current administration. They have to see the writing on the wall that the next administration will likely not be from the Democratic party. They honestly probably won't have the votes to push a nominee through after the mid terms. This is the safest option to keep this spot for the left.
