Democrats’ abrupt and desperate move to ditch incumbent President Joe Biden as their 2024 presidential candidate and instead coronate Vice President Kamala Harris at the top of the ticket is already showing signs of backfiring on their party and playing right into GOP presidential nominee former President Donald Trump’s hands.
First and foremost, the mad dash by Democrats over the past several weeks since the late June debate between Trump and Biden to force the reluctant-to-drop-out Biden out of the race severely weakened Biden’s standing to the point where he basically had no choice politically but to drop. Then, when Biden finally did exit the race on Sunday afternoon—which came after Trump survived a failed assassination attempt and the highly successful Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin—instead of holding an open process whereby several Democrats would openly compete for their party’s nomination, Democrat elders quickly consolidated behind Harris as their standard-bearer all falling in line within 48 hours. The coronation was swift, and now the conversation has shifted after enough delegates to the Democratic National Convention (DNC) had verbally committed to backing her to put her over the top to a question of who she would be picking as her running mate.
The move has been so quick and swift, made in a frenzied panic by Democrats fearful of what the numbers were showing and the effect that a weak Biden would have on their down-ticket prospects, that the shift reeks of desperation. One of the only voices of reason on the Democrat side, Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), even ripped his fellow Democrats for pushing Biden out of the race:

They are no longer destroying themselves.
Debating Biden in June was a huge mistake. As was picking JD Vance.
I like Vance that’s not the point.
Biden is gone. And now republicans want him to resign so they can face President Harris?
I can only hope people remember she’s a waste. But don’t bet on it.
Memo to democrats: If this how they treat their own leader, imagine how they might treat you.
All I see are clips of gushing, adulatory, thrilled and excited idolators celebrating their demigod Kamala. Including her with her glistening eyes, on a manic high, savoring every moment of knowing thugs like the supposed felon Trump will now be punished with or without lawfare persecution.
Her drooling wannabe assassins of Trump are watching and want to impress the queen.
Joe Biden is sharp as a tack and will beat Trump easily.
Oh, My God! Did you see that debate? Trainwreck! Biden must leave the race immediately. He cannot function at all!
What? Joe isn’t leaving the race? The senile old fool is staying in?
Joe is better! He’s fine! Had a bad night. No big deal! He will beat Trump easily!
He’s out?!?! He quit?!? We need to find someone to replace him! There are governors! And some senators! They need to campaign!
What? We’re going with Kamala? Really? Well ... of course! Kamala is awesome! No one is better than Kamala!
Oh My God she’s cringe! We’ve made a terrible mistake! What are we going to do now?
Hey ... I have an idea ...
I don’t see the vice prostitute being the candidate for long.
Yes, their desperation is incredible. Funny listening today where Democrats claim this is a ground-up effort, yet all we see and here are the leadership anointing Harris without discussion, without votes.
“Stop Tolerating The Intolerant” — your tag line?
Alrighty then, I refuse to tolerate pearl-clutching disunifying monday morning quarterbacks like you. So GFY! If the Trump Train has a problem, it’s those who claim support but who were always lukewarm and now raise petty sh!t every damn chance they get.
Either get solidly on board, or STFU and GTFO. And call me intolerant.
You’re a huge mistake.
You heard it here first because obviously you don’t read anything - the Democrat base is not happy with the party shenanigans and not giving them a voice in the process. Also, everyone in the Democratic Party knows that Kamala is an idiot and a whore.
The way The Wall of Gaslight switched on instantly for Vice Prostitute Kammy the Hoor is just amazing...
Just ask Tump when his ear heals.
Please just stop clutching your pearls and find some fortitude.
I have plenty and I’m 1000% for Trump. Blind faith is not even remotely an election strategy.
Trump has our votes. That’s not the issue.
Worrying about election strategy is not pearl clutching.
Your last sentence is the message.
But democrats unhappy they didn’t have another vote? Pure made up nonsense. Democrsts are slimeballs.
Disagree on both counts.
Biden consistently polled better than any other Democrat candidate. Him being out of the race and them having to run Heels Up Harris instead only helps President Trump.
JD Vance was absolutely the right choice for VP. Firstly, he’s life insurance. The Deep State and the RINOs now know if they do succeed in assassinating Trump, they will now get someone who is at least as hostile to them as he is. Secondly, Vance as heir apparent ensures the populists/nationalists will remain in the ascendant in the Republican party with the RINOs influence being steadily reduced.
Trump can’t win with armchair QBs like you. You claim to like Vance but say that Trump picking him for VP “was a huge mistake.” Pray tell who was the right candidate? And have you volunteered your vast political acumen to the Trump campaign to ensure a GOP win in November? Somehow, I doubt it.
As if any of this matters!
How goes the anti-ballot-fraud measures you’ve been reading about?
You have been reading about them, right?
I didn’t think so...
First, Biden was cratering which is why they replaced him.
Second, in order to be insurance JD Vance would have to win and no one can predict that.
And third, the future of the GOP will not be Vance’s unless they win. If they lose it will be pinned on him and Trump.
DJT winning THIS election is the only objective right now.
buzz off idiot
