With Biden In Mental Decline, How Do You Solve A Problem Like Kamala Harris?

 

With yesterday's special counsel report providing independent confirmation that Joe Biden is probably senile, we need to do something very painful that the Biden campaign and our compliant political press don't want to do: Have a forthright conversation about Kamala Harris.  [...]

The dems should have seen this coming when they put her in this position.  There was intense dislike for her long ago as shown in their own polls during the 2020 primaries.  Since being placed on the ticket because of things other than qualifications, Harris has not done anything to help herself overcome that dislike.   Now, the dems are in a pickle.  If I were the democrat leader, I would just accept the humiliating defeat which is going to occur in November, and work toward 2028.

We know she was a Diversity pick bit also a good blocker for Joe, if anyone did anything to get rid of him she was next in line.

Of course, their leaders won't even consider that.

Donald Trump Is Blessed With the Very Best Enemies

 

[...] As we are seeing unfold across the country in real time, Trump is truly blessed with the best enemies.  For all of Trump's bad luck, he is also aided right now by some very, very good luck.

 

Consider some of the current biggest enemies of Trump, as he marches through the Republican presidential primary and looks toward a general election rematch with President Joe Biden.  [...]

It'd be positive to have her involved in some substantive way.

So NATO countries are finally talking about living up to their treaty obligations.  Imagine that.

 

NATO Countries Scrambling to Increase Defense Spending Because of Trump Comments

 

Nato members are scrambling to honour their defence spending target in time for a crunch July summit taking place just days before Donald Trump’s expected coronation as Republican candidate for president.

 

Westminster sources told The Telegraph that European members need to arrive at Nato’s 75th Anniversary summit in Washington DC with a commitment to spend 2 per cent of GDP on defence.

 

The summit will take place 9-11 July, the week before the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, where Mr Trump is expected to be selected as the party’s nominee for president.

A senior Whitehall security source said: “If we all rock up in Washington for the Nato summit with half of Europe still not paying 2 per cent of GDP… that would be an own goal.”

However, if they do show up in DC in July with plans to meet their 2% of GDP, Biden will try to take the credit, and the Democrat supporters will buy that gaslighting.

NY Times:  Some Dems Are Getting 'Burned Out' by Their Unhinged Trump-Hating Drama

 

Welcome, my friends, to the tantrum that never ends.  At least, it often feels that way.

The frothing, screeching anti-Trump meltdown on the American Left has been tedious and tiresome to most of us since Election Night 2016.  Miracle of miracles, it appears that some of the fit-pitchers might want to bring the drama level down a bit.  [...]

Donald Trump's Chances of Winning Are Better Than Ever

 

I would be so excited to be proven wrong.  I mean, I would be thrilled.  I would put on a little hat and do a little NYPD dance team dance, singing, "I was wrong, I was wrong!  Hooray, hooray, hooray!"  That's what I would do if Donald Trump wins in November.  I supported Ron DeSantis for many reasons, but a major one was that I believed Donald Trump was nearly certain to be defeated in the coming election.  Well, Donald Trump appears to be doing a lot better right now.  I think he's still more likely than not going to lose, but if I'm wrong, I am thrilled about it.  [...]

I disagree....and all the state polls I've seen say otherwise.  Trump is rebuilding the Red Rust Wall in the north, and he is currently leading in all the other swing states.

What is interesting is that all this is because of Trump.  People don't seem to understand how he negotiates.
