The Democrats Need a Hero. They Actually Already Have One
Daily Beast ^ | 7/17/24 | Nell Scovell

Posted on 07/19/2024 9:53:44 AM PDT by DallasBiff

Democrats are facing two crucial questions: (1) Keep Joe or dump Joe; and (2) in the event of the latter, do you bump Vice President Kamala Harris to the top of the ticket or hold an open convention?

Most conversations between Democrats never get past these two questions. Instead, they dissolve into shouts of “You don’t know!” “Well, you don’t know either!” But if two Democrats could somehow agree that Harris should lead the ticket, the obvious follow-up question is: Who would be the best choice for vice president

But most governors relish their jobs as CEOs of their states. When Biden secured the nomination in 2020, he invited Michigan Gov. Whitmer to meet him in Delaware for vetting. According to Whitmer, Biden asked her, “Why do you want to be vice president?” She told HOUR Detroit Magazine that her response was, “Joe, I’m here because you asked me to be here. I love my job. I love being in Michigan. There’s nowhere else I want to go…”

along with a conservative judge, who was killed

From the article:

she was shot in the head during a 2011 assassination attempt. Six people died, including a congressional staffer.
The Daily Beast elevates the death of a Democrat Congressional staffer over the death of the Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Arizona who was nominated by George H. W. Bush.

He died just after attending a Saturday morning Catholic Mass. He went to help at a civic event.

This is a trainwreck of Obama’s making. It was he that picked Biden from the garbage can of discarded primary candidates, in 2008. (Has Biden ever been anything but a joke in the primaries?). He then saddled VP Joe with a trash-worthy veep of his own, a woman of color that dropped out of the primaries before a single vote was cast. Now the train is about to run out of track....

I’m not convinced that the game Obama plays doesn’t involve losing this year, and letting the cumulative disasters of his three terms land on Trump’s desk.

Listen to a few of his speeches and you’ll know why his twin brother spent a year on the ISS.

Made big money from doubtful and failed investments, mostly from no bid government contract.
Obviously he had the connections!
He is footage of the blast of Kelly’s investments!

He looks like Dr. Evil, so he’s perfect for the Democrats.

If the dems wanted a chance, they’d run RFK Jr.

There’s one guy who scares me, and that’s Beshear, but I think he’s keeping his powder dry for 2028.

What the Democrats have not come to terms with yet is that the problem Americans are having right now with Biden is it is not Biden. Americans are growing tired of the Democrats overall agenda (open borders, soft on crime, high taxes, more welfare, unending wars and so on).

Getting rid of Biden is not the goal, getting rid a Democrat is the goal. So replacing Biden with another Democrat does not change anything if they run on the same old agenda.

And if they claim they are not, the American people know they are lying.

Uncle Fester?

No that’s the senator from the great state of PA John Fetterman.

He could probably light a bulb in his mouth.

And, then, he allowed the DemocRats to use his brain-damaged wife in their push for unconstitutional gun control.

I think you may be onto something, but the Rats haven’t trotted out Michelle Obama’s name quite yet. They’re plotting something—always—and this could be it. All they have to do is win and make a show for a few months.

I’m not the only Freeper who suspects a surprise.

Our Electorate has a very short memory.

Harris/Obama? Yeah...there’s a crisis management team. I really think they’ve painted themselves into a corner. Granted, they’ve got ~40 % support baked in, and the squishy middle would swoon over such a ticket....

Hard to say...and the clock is ticking.I don’t know that they can deflect all criticism as racist, sexist electioneering.
