The Republican convention that concluded early Friday was a four-day celebration of the cult of Donald Trump. Night after night, disciples and flatterers portrayed America as a nation in decline and Trump as its savior. But the real focus wasn’t on making America great again. It was on making Trump president again.
To prevent that outcome, Democrats must stage a different kind of convention. They need to focus on the needs of the American people. They have to present a plan for getting to a better place. And most important, they cannot spend four days in Chicago celebrating President Biden. To win, they must nominate a better candidate.
Biden has spent the weeks since his revelatory disaster on the debate stage denying the reality of his limitations. But his attempts at redemption have only served to confirm his decline. The substance of his speeches no longer matters. Everyone is watching to see if he stumbles — or rather, how frequently.
Many Americans have deeply personal experience of watching relatives fade. They know what they are seeing. They know what comes next. And while it is sad to watch a man no longer able to do the things he did so ably for so long, it would be tragic to let him persist in the attempt.
The votes cast in favor of Biden in the party’s state primaries are not an irreversible judgment. As the facts have changed, so have the views of voters. In an A.P. poll released last week, 65 percent of Democrats said they wanted Biden to withdraw from the race — a devastating vote of no confidence.
The president has said he’d leave the race “if the Lord Almighty came down” and told him to go. He said he’d leave if he was convinced that he had...

(In my best Beavis and butthead voice) He said Cult!
As Yoda would say, “strong, with this one, the TDS is.”
No, the Republican convention that concluded early Friday was a four-day celebration of renewed faith in God and love of freedom from constitutionally-protected government coercion.
"The Republican convention that concluded early Friday was a four-day celebration of the cult of Donald Trump." Well, the Times should know about the celebrations of cults as Uncle Walter engaged in such activity regarding Stalin (and it won him a Pulitzer no less).
Nope. They'll cater to the wackos, weirdos and revolutionaries that all want to destroy the US, not make people's lives better.
I like to know what my enemy is up to. You like to stick your head up your Obama and pretend it's nighttime.
The slow learners, like Binyamin Appelbaum, are suddenly expert analysts.
Duranty was a damn slime bucket of the lowest order.
“the real focus wasn’t on making America great again. It was on making Trump president again”
With this kind of analysis, they must have used a substitute writer they found folding towels at Motel 6.
Exactly, the whole left wing is just one big cult, unable to take any criticism or opposition.
That’s right.
From “The Conservative Treehouse”:
“He only has 4 years. He will be opposed at every turn like last time. If we the people don’t deliver majorities, good majorities, in the House and Senate, at the very least one branch, he gets nothing accomplished, his appointees will be rejected and he will be contained again, vulnerable to removal.”
Its the same thing.
LMAO
100% they will focus on the “threat to Democracy”, J6, and Trump, with a little BS about Vance thrown in too boot

Good luck with that.
