Kamala Harris proves again she's not a better candidate than Biden

 

[...] With Joe Biden absent due to COVID, and almost certainly about to be pushed out of the race by his own demoralized party, Kamala Harris is kicking things up a notch.  On Thursday afternoon, she addressed supporters at Westover High School in North Carolina.  Never mind the world watching — it's not clear that all the people at Westover High school were watching.

 

So how did she do?

 

In a word: terribly.

From the moment she bounded onto the stage, Harris reminded people of why this November's election is Trump's for the losing.  [...]

perhaps this is the only way they can get rid of the cackler - make her the nominee, she'll fail miserably, and then she'll be tossed in the rubbish pile forever.

[Boiler 44,700]

This was all obviously pre packaged. They must have decided that they simply could not get rid of her, she would not let them and they were hosed by their own DEI.

 

I cannot imagine for a second that they would not want to, given the option. After all is there a worse credible alternate?

Biden's Endorsement:  Revenge on Coup Plotters?

 

Did Joe Biden's endorsement of Kamala Harris to replace him as nominee give Democrats a path out of chaos?  Or did it ensure that they would remain mired in it?

 

Either Biden remained loyal or remained bitter.  Or both!  [...]

Biden's Exit Brings Us Closer to World War in the Middle East

 

President Biden has dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Kamala Harris.  He may be forced to resign before his term ends.  The Democratic Party is scrambling to figure out a way to not only create a winning ticket, but to make sure that the nominee is on every state ballot.  Our nation is in turmoil, and it isn't clear who is really steering the ship.  The U.S. is in a mess.

 

But how does this affect the Middle East, where Israel is at war on seven fronts; Iran is supposedly only weeks away from having nuclear capabilities; the Houthis are attacking wherever they can; and Hamas is still holding hostages, including at least five Americans?  And to top it all off, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is scheduled to speak this week before a joint session of Congress, and to meet with the president and vice president.  A weak lame duck and an incompetent who may or may not even be a candidate for the next presidential election.  [...]

The Democrats Just Overthrew Their Own Election

 

[...] the Pelosi/Obama junta differs little from Thomas Crooks only in their methodology.  Crooks used a gun, and Pelosi/Obama used a behind-the-scenes coup.  But the goal is the same, as are the implications beneath.  They, not you, decide who gets to be president and who gets dispatched to either a humiliating forced retirement or an early grave.  Republican or Democrat, it doesn't matter, and neither does your vote.  Democrat voters would be wise to see that this is just as much a threat to their voting rights as it is to ours.

 

But they won't.  That's fine.  Par for the course.  If this, like the assassination attempt, doesn't open their eyes to the raw fact that the Left will hold on to power at all costs whatsoever, then nothing will.  But from this point on, they have no authority whatsoever to preach about election interference.  To the extent that they sincerely felt they held the moral high ground, they just unconditionally surrendered it for the entire world to see.  [...]

This is a GOOD ad.

Trump Drops First Campaign Ad on Harris After Biden Drops Out and It's As Good As You Knew It Would Be

 

Welp, that didn't take long.  Within two hours of embattled Joe Biden announcing on Sunday he would drop his reelection bid after his disastrous presidential debate performance just three weeks ago, Team Trump dropped a blistering campaign ad targeting almost equally embattled Kamala Harris, whom many Democrats believe should replace Biden at the top of the ticket.

 

Why, it's "almost" like Trump & Co. saw it coming, as the walls have continued to close in on Joe.

Biden Withdrawing From the Race Makes the 25th Amendment a Much More Attractive Option for the Democrats

 

[...] the confluence of events presents the Democrats with an opportunity to look responsible and to improve their electoral chances.  They can use the 25th Amendment to remove Joe Biden and allow Harris to run as an incumbent.

 

Incumbency has real power during elections.  An incumbent rarely fails to be reelected; when that happens, they are Republicans.

If you follow political predictions, Alan Licthtman's 13 Keys model is the most famous.  Changing Harris into an incumbent would change the Democrat's chances of winning from not-good to competitive.  [...]

Joe Biden's Final Humiliation And The Fight Ahead

 

Alleged President Joe Biden's cowardly capitulation to the will of the Democrat elite validated the cruel truth that we have always known about him – and that he has always known about himself.  He's a quitter.  He's a loser.  He's weak, and he's stupid, the Democrat Party's Fredo, given – by default – responsibility beyond running a nightclub out in the boondocks or picking somebody up from the airport and, predictably, botching it.  Joe Biden is the ultimate personification of the Peter Principle, the only principle he has ever demonstrated.

 

Good riddance.

 

I guess that the Trump +7 Michigan poll on Sunday kind of put a nail in the coffin of Joe Biden's dreams of a legacy of adequacy.  [...]

Of note, Bidementia dropped out on National Ice Cream Day.  How fitting!

Aides Struggling To Figure Out How To Break The News To Biden That He Dropped Out

 

U.S. — After the announcement broke that President Biden would no longer seek re-election, aides have struggled to figure out how exactly to break the news to President Biden.

"Oh man, he's not going to like this," said longtime aide Sally Connors.  "Maybe we can wait until after four, and then he won't remember?"  [...]

Man Who Just Admitted He Is Unfit To Be President Assures Nation He Will Continue Being President

 

[...] "I have to face reality.  My mind isn't what it used to be," President Biden announced Sunday.  "I forget things.  Sometimes I don't know where I am.  Yesterday I mistook a houseplant for Janet Yellen.  It's something about her face.  So, with a heavy heart, I am announcing that I am no longer fit to be President and will cease campaigning.  Still, you can sleep easy knowing I will continue running the country for the next six months as President.  End of quote."  [...]
