Listen to this Obama fundraiser totally rip Biden, Harris and their policies.  I couldn't believe my ears.  Then he seems to endorse the anti-democratic scheme to bypass Harris.

As always follow the money

US President Joe Biden is looking forward to "getting back on the campaign trail next week", fortifying his commitment to stick in the race as more Democrats on Friday called for him to step aside as the party nominee.
“The stakes are high, and the choice is clear. Together, we will win," he said.

Not as much as Kackala will jump at the thought of Killary standing behind her, knowing she forgot to check the cutlery drawer in the kitchen.

Can We Let the Voters Decide -- Not the FBI, CIA, DOJ, Lawyers, Prosecutors, and Judges?

 

When Donald Trump seemed to have a lock on the 2016 Republican primary, the Democratic Party concluded that the people could not be counted on to do the "right thing" of electing the Democratic candidate in waiting Hillary Clinton.

What followed were eight long years of extralegal efforts [...]

Inside the 'doom loop' of Joe Biden's campaign

 

Washington (CNN) —  Multiple leading Democrats tell CNN they feel caught in what one described as a "doom loop," with every move to keep President Joe Biden in or push him out further destroying their chances against Donald Trump.

It's breaking the resolve of even staunch allies.  It's feeding bad polls.  It's turning off more donors.  It's sustaining a media atmosphere where no matter what Biden does, he comes off looking like a failure.

And for those who were hoping Biden would quit, the public and private pressure, several top Democrats worry, has been backfiring.  [...]

Desperate Democrats List Job Opening For Presidential Candidate On LinkedIn

 

WASHINGTON, D.C. — As rumors about President Biden withdrawing from the presidential race continue to swirl around the nation, desperate Democrat leaders have recently resorted to listing a job opening for a new presidential candidate on LinkedIn.

According to the posting, the Democrats are looking for four things in a new candidate: ability to breathe, ability to form coherent sentences, a strong commitment to DEI and abortion, and a lack of being named "Kamala Harris."  [...]

Trump did something he's never done before with RNC speech.  Now, the election may already be over

 

Donald Trump may well have sealed the outcome of the 2024 election with a performance on Thursday night in Milwaukee that has largely been unmatched in recent American political history.

The former president eschewed the polarization and division that has marked much of his rhetoric in the past.  In his speech officially accepting the Republican Party's nomination there were only a couple of references to the 2020 election.  Trump was able to hit on key messages when speaking about topics like inflation, and especially immigration, in ways that were compelling and arguably responsive to the fundamental concerns of Americans.

I say this not to engage in hyperbole, as I have never been – and am not now – a Trump supporter.  But as a political analyst, you have to acknowledge reality.  [...]

Biden:  This is a Revolt

 

If Robert Costa's reporting is correct, President Biden is using the term "revolt" to describe attempts to get him to leave the race.

 

You have to admit, the term fits.  Not quite an "insurrection," but "revolt" among his party allies definitely describes what is happening.  It is a coordinated campaign to remove him from the nomination, and in all likelihood the presidency itself if things keep going.

 

They aren't underestimating him.  They are plotting and acting to destroy his ability to remain the nominee.  Those are two different things.  "Underestimating" him is thinking he is likely to lose while coordinating a campaign filled with leaks, and hoaxes (he has already decided to drop out and has a speech being written is one false claim) is a full-scale attack on his ability to run at all.  [...]

Far-Left Strategist Has an Idea of Who Should Dust Off Her Broomstick and Replace Biden

 

This was bound to happen sooner or later.  The Dems want to ditch Papa Dementia, but all they have to replace him are a disreputable gaggle of hacks, quacks, lilliputians and psychopaths.  And yet they do have a seasoned, experienced candidate, a far-left ideologue with boundless ambition and a burning hatred for Donald Trump.  That's right, she's perfect: are you ready, and is the world ready, for Hillary 2024?  [...]

Biden's Demoralized Campaign Staff Ordered Not to Watch 'Depressing' Cable News

 

Joe Biden's campaign chair, Jen O'Malley Dillon, cautioned campaign staffers not to watch cable news to prevent further demoralization among staff.

If it's this bad now, what's it going to be like in four months?

 

"Don't watch cable news all the time," O'Malley Dillon told her staff, according to Axios, "That is not the real world.  The real world is the voters that are standing with us, the delegates that are with us, and we're going to weather this because of this organization."

All's well.  Remain calm.  [...]

It Looks Like Kamala's Call with Democrat Donors Was a Disaster

 

We reported on Friday that Kamala Harris was going to have a conference call with big Democrat donors.  The meeting was put together on short notice.  However, at the time of the report, it was not clear what message she was going to deliver to them.

 

The donors who have largely funded the Biden-Harris campaign were so spooked by Biden's disastrous debate performance that they stopped writing checks and threatened to withhold donations unless Joe Biden was replaced.

Would Harris encourage them to calm down and unite behind Biden, or was another message going to be delivered?  Perhaps a coup?

An email from tech billionaire Reid Hoffman, a major donor to the Democratic Party, revealed that the meeting would address "urgent, emerging needs" and include the vice president and key voter outreach leaders.  Hoffman emphasized the importance of staying focused on protecting democracy amid the high stakes of the current political cycle.

We now have details about the call.  [...]
