It does really seem like the Democrat elites are attempting an insurrectionist style coup.

Rumor is that a massive rebellion against Biden is about to begin....."orchestrated and brutal" with many dems abandoning him as candidate.

They are the very people they claim to detest.  They practice the very things they claim to oppose.

The Dems are trying to maneuver the same way the parties in France did.  The House members are so worried about the down ballot, so they are actually trying to stage a coup.  The problem they are facing right now is that people realize if Old Corrupt Joe is not capable of running, he is also not capable of being President right now and the Kamala situation comes front and center.

 

The other issue is that they are dealing with a stubborn old man who knows about a lot of skeletons.  I hear a lot of folks say Obama just needs to ask him to step down, but I am not really sure if Joe really likes Obama, and also if Joe would take Obama down with him.  This is why Obama is treading lightly, letting Clooney and others come forward.  It is interesting seeing the Democrat civil war take shape, the Obama elite on one side, and the old guard on the other side.  It will be an interesting couple of days, weeks, months.

I do wonder when the Democrat elitist will bring up Tara Reade.

Good point, and here's another.

 

Given that Dr. Jill is the power behind the throne, and given that Li'l Crackpipe has strong influence, why don't the Dem elites simply publicize the testimony given in the House committee regarding all the financial monkeyshines -- shell companies to funnel foreign kickbacks to all the Bidens?  This would neuter Dr. Jill by bringing her down with Bidementia himself.  I really wonder why the elites haven't done this already.

Wow.  Thoughts on this?

Democrat Strategists Say the 'Presidential Contest Ended' After Assassination Attempt

 

Stick a fork in Joe Biden.  He's done.

After the recent turmoil his party went through after the debate, which significantly damaged his candidacy and prompted calls for him to drop out, Democratic strategists who spoke with NBC News on Sunday say that now the failed assassination attempt on Donald Trump most certainly was the true end of his hopes of getting reelected.

 

"We're so beyond f---ed," lamented a longtime Democratic insider, emphasizing that the image of Trump thrusting his fist in the air, blood dramatically smeared across his face, will be an unforgettable image between now and Election Day.  [...]

Of course, just after I post a great article, an even better one from a P.R. expert comes up...

How the Trump Assassination Attempt Changes the Presidential Campaign

 

[...] The moment Donald Trump's rally was transformed into the closing scene of "Rocky IV" was the seminal moment of the 2024 presidential campaign.  All that was missing was "Hearts on Fire" by John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band blazing in the background (honorable mention to Survivor's "Burning Heart").

 

The true impact of the assassination attempt won't be felt for weeks.  When something profoundly shocking and emotionally uncomfortable happens, we psychologically deal with it piecemeal because it's just too big and overwhelming to comprehend.  So, we first try to analogize the attempt on Trump's life by comparing and contrasting it to other events (JFK?  The George W. Bush shoe incident?  RFK?  Reagan and Hinkley?  Or maybe a foreign assassination, i.e., Shinzo Abe?), but these analogies fail to capture the sheer magnitude of what we all witnessed.

This was… different.

In part, it was different because [...]

So J.D. Vance.  Interesting pick.

Thanks for posting it in this thread, Bill!

 

Trump is thinking about the future of the Party.

I can't wait for the VP debate between JDV and Kama-Lama-Ding-Dong.   

[TBoneTX 45,259]

Trump is taking somewhat of a chance in choosing JDV, because election of a Republican to his Senate seat is not at all guaranteed.

I was rooting for Tulsi Gabbard, if only for the “messing with Sasquatch” factor for the VP debate 😆
