With Biden stepping aside and Harris in, gloom over Chicago convention lifts
Chicago Sun Times ^ | Jul 22, 2024 | Lynn Sweet and Tina Sfondeles

With President Joe Biden dropping out of the presidential race and passing the baton to Vice President Kamala Harris, donors and delegates from Illinois said Monday that the mood of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago next month vaults from trepidation to elation.

“The mood will be dramatically different,” said John Cullerton, the former state Senate president who, as a member of the Democratic National Committee from Illinois, is a delegate.

With Biden staying in the contest, the convention “would have been depressing. There would have been a pessimism that Biden was not going to win. But now there is an excitement because we are turning the tables on the Republicans because now [former President Donald] Trump is the oldest guy in history running for president,” Cullerton said.

Democrats refused to define a woman. Now all excited they have a woman running for President. Sometimes I think she was the most dispensable. Sending her to be sacrificed and saving their bench. They can call any criticism racist. Sexist. Start riots and stir up their base. She is the absolute worst candidate they had to choose from.

Democrats refused to define a woman.

A lie that doesn't fool anybody, but is useful as a loyalty test.
Really acting like 'woman' is undefinable is not part of the deal.
Taking what they say at face value is a waste of time.

"Everybody's gonna have a CACKLING GOOD TIME!"

Yup. Fiery but mostly peaceful. Break out the beer and popcorn for this one.

It is an opening to audiences upset about men in women’s sports. Madame VP needs to answer. Why celebrate a woman President when any man can put on a dress and run as a woman ? They are going to run the same race Hillary ran.

The Kamala deal includes keeping the Biden election donations. Maybe she is their safest bet, but compared to what?

They are running her as Female Obama. Going for youth vote. Women vote. The electorate has aged out since 2016. Gen Z is larger. Boomers have died.

The TV media. Social media. She’s the new fad. Will it last? I doubt it. But Obama Plouffe? Formidable.

Trump has Susie Wild? Also excellent.

Give Kamala the space to frick it up.

Be disciplined. She is a Marxist. If you go racist. Sexiest. You take the focus off the issues.

I know most attacks are not sexist etc. But if you even open that door a hair, you give her the opening to cry about it.

The headline should have included a “please clap” at the end. The hopium they are gaslighting is comical.
