This is John Batcher, conversation with my colleague Elizabeth Peek of the Hill and Fox News and Fox Business

0:06.4

about the presidential contest. Peggy Noonan of the Wall Street Journal characterizes

0:11.0

it with wit, old cranky versus old crazy.

thrilled.

So it's a pretty easy solution and all of this assumes that Joe Biden agrees to step aside. His big issue, one of them might be he wants to protect his son Hunter.

1:18.0

As president, he can do that, but he can also make a deal with whoever takes this place and say hey you know you got a

1:25.1

pardon hunter if he gets convicted and Michelle Obama or somebody else could say yeah

1:30.6

done deal and that's that but it will Donald Trump be the candidate unless

1:35.8

something happens to his physical condition I think yes he will more of
