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:

well said.
I now understand some libs say it’s racist to pronounce her name like “calm.” Instead they say we should pronounce her name starting like “camel.” The critter about which the proverbial first question is “how many humps?”

How does she win in Western PA, and the Rust Belt?
Misprouncing the whore’s name really ticks the view gals and MikaJoe off. Hmmmm. You may be on to something
How does she win?
Well she’s a democrat, so first by lying.
And with all the cheating in Eastern Pennsylvania.
But we can win without PA.
This needs to shake out. Hopefully, most people just don’t want her.
She’s an elitist marxist. Just keep hitting on that. Simple.
Don’t be but hurt b3cause your biy toy z is going to get his money cut off. We see you little neo- con. Buzz off.
I agree but she’s out there lying she’s for the middle class.
As you know, there are a lot of idiots in the suburbs.
Not saying she’ll win, just that she can.
Hopefully the Trump assassination attempt woke up some of the Trump haters.
F off dope.
I support Trump and don’t care what he decides on Ukraine.
Harris is going to get an MSM orgy of positive promotion. It’s already started.
I could well be wrong, but I see this enthusiasm for her to be like the Platte River, a mile wide and a foot deep. And I think her ideas will make for an easy target for the Trump team.
Go wet your bed
“Oh you are one of those. Why was picking Vance a mistake?”
He’s a proud Ukrainian nationalist and Vance is against our involvement in Ukraine.
Your #5 is excellent!
why so you can drink it?
I commented on the election. Too bad you’re a one issue panzy.
Agreed. Trump should have waited for Joe to be officially nominated in August and then debated. The early debate played right into the Dem strategists hand because they knew Biden would falter.
The same way Dems always win PA, by waiting until the votes are counted in the 50 conservative counties so the know how many votes they need in Allegheny anf Philadelphia counties.
And I’m sorry but a 2 hour convention speech was not a particularly good idea.
He did his unity and assassination thing and should have wrapped it up.
Luckily, many many people went to bed and only saw the first half.
I love Trump but I want him to win the election.
My issue is drafting marxism here.
I understand that, but that was made easier by Biden doing well in the Red Counties.
