The Repub convention went very smoothly and harmoniously.  Save some popcorn for the one in Chicago.

Interesting, by an excellent analyst.

Getting the 2022–23 Elections Right, Part I

 

[...] There is a lot to discuss, so the analysis is split between two reports.  This report deals with perhaps the most common misconception about the 2022 elections: that an anti-MAGA majority cost Republicans control of the Senate and limited their gains in the House.  It proceeds by examining 2022 congressional election results.  It reminds us that Republicans won the popular vote and that these wins extended to important states.  Then it shows that these Republican victories extended to state legislatures.  Overall, if Donald Trump performs as well in these states in 2024 as Republicans did in 2022, he will likely win the presidency handily.  Simply put, the anti-MAGA majority is a myth.

 

A subsequent installment of this report will deal with other issues, such as exploring the 2023 elections and the notion that junk polls skewed the averages.  It will attempt to explain what happened to Republicans in 2022 and 2023 and conclude with potentially bad news for Republicans in the lead-up to the 2024 election.  [...]

Honestly, aren't the Dems attempting a genuine coup?

If Democrats Want A New Nominee, They Need To Use The 25th Amendment

 

Pressure to step aside as nominee continues to mount against President Joe Biden from members of his own party following a disastrous debate performance that put Biden's cognitive decline on full display.  But if Democrats want to get rid of Biden as nominee, they need to use the 25th Amendment.  Anything else is an attempted coup.  [...]

They're honestly cannibalizing themselves, as happened with Bidementia's uncle who crash-landed in Papua New Guinea.

Team Biden Nukes Obama, Schumer, Pelosi:  They Gave Us Trump in 2016!

 

[...] Joe Biden and his team have tried fending off calls to withdraw from the race without making it personal -- until today.  After Barack Obama began pushing for Biden to get out through the pages of the Washington Post, the gloves came off.  Scranton Joe has turned into Snarling Joe and is blaming the entire Democrat establishment for getting Donald Trump elected in the first place [...]

New White House Doctor Sadly Informs Biden Only Cure For COVID Is Euthanasia

 

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Washington sources report that the White House received "a real downer of a prognosis" yesterday after Dr. Pillary Schminton informed President Biden that the only known cure for COVID is euthanasia.

Dr. Schminton, who received formal training in Canada, said that — despite the seeming cruelty of it all — euthanasia is the only responsible choice for treating the President's terrible case of COVID-19.  [...]

Most Popular President In History Inundated With Calls To Step Down

 

[...] President Joe Biden, recipient in 2020 of more votes than any other human being in the chronicles of humankind, was surprised to learn that despite his status as the unequivocally most beloved and favored presidential candidate in history, he was on the receiving end of a seemingly endless string of public calls for him to leave office.

 

"What a bunch of malarkey," Biden said to reporters when asked about the mounting pressure for him to drop out of the race.  "The idea… [...]

Babylon Bee Editorial:  Joe Biden Is Of Sound Mind And Body And The Cruel Attacks On Him Must Stop

 

When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for The Babylon Bee editorial board to opine on the mental capacities of sitting presidents, the nation is probably in some sort of trouble.  [...]

Now will the Democrats in AZ actually abide by the ruling?

 

 

[Dashinka 24,480]

So the most likely scenario is Old Corrupt Petulant Joe turns tail this weekend so as to provide fodder for the political wonks on the Sunday morning shows and attempt to blunt the extremely successful RNC.  The question is will it be a simple anointing of Mamala so the Democrats do not need to deal with transferring funds the Biden/Harris campaign controls, an accelerated makeshift primary like process with many folks vying for the top of the ticket, or a contested convention.  If the first, I have been hearing not a lot of folks are interested in the number 2 spot behind Mamala. 

 

Regardless, the Democrat Party looks to be a real mess right now.

I think it will be Kamala.  I am now hearing that Mark Kelly is a strong contender for VP. That would be a strategic move to hang on to Arizona.

Gotta back up the black woman with an old white guy.  Typical for Democrats.

[Crazy Cat 41,811]

My question is:  How does Biden leave?  Will he simply step aside from re-election....or will he resign from office in an attempt to boost a presidential looking Kamal?  The dems would really like the boost to their base for the first woman POTUS.
