Maybe ... but never underestimate the power of propaganda by the MSM and democrat party. It will be a nauseating display of heavy handed sales tactics directed not towards you but gullible and/or stupid types.

Joe Biden is no longer the Democratic presidential nominee.
After weeks of heartburn from the Democratic political establishment—and the unique spectacle of the media finally holding the Democrats accountable for their dishonesty—Biden announced Sunday that he would be dropping out of the presidential race.
That announcement followed his disastrous June 27 debate performance against former President Donald Trump, a performance that demonstrated to a flabbergasted America that the president of the United States is fully addled.
Biden tried to deny it for weeks. Some played along; most did not. Eventually, Biden’s abysmal poll numbers, combined with strong-arm tactics from political mafia boss Barack Obama and consigliere Nancy Pelosi, forced Biden from the race.
There are a number of lessons to be learned from this extraordinary chain of events.
First, as Lincoln apocryphally said, you can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.
For years, we were told that behind closed doors, Joe Biden was cracking the secrets of cold fusion, even as we saw with our own eyes that he was in a state of continuous mental collapse. The power of the media extends only so far.
Second, while the political parties have lost much of their former power, they still exist—and they still have teeth. Democratic Party bosses and moneymen tossed out 14 million votes in favor of Biden in the primaries because the polls looked bad.
It’s that simple. Biden didn’t drop out because he suddenly discovered that as a patriot, he simply couldn’t lead America forward any longer. He dropped out because it was made clear to him that either his political brains or his signature would be on his resignation papers.
Third, the Democratic Party still has a few unbreakable rules, the most important of which is that no black woman can be supplanted, no matter how bad a candidate she is.
The newfound Democratic enthusiasm for hideously unpopular Vice President Kamala Harris has odor but no substance. Few Democrats are excited about Harris; they’re more excited that Biden is gone. But Harris herself is a preternaturally flawed candidate—corrupt, radical, and dishonest.
She ran an all-time stinker of a presidential campaign in 2020. During that campaign, she somehow achieved the signal political feat of coming out against fracking, guns, and private health insurance—sure winners in swing states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
As Biden’s supposed “border czar,” she has presided over the worst border crisis in American history. She is tied at the hip to his awful record. Then there’s the fact that she is a charmless copy of Hillary Rodham Clinton, with the unfortunate addition of a Joker-like involuntary laugh that could break glass.
But Democrats can’t get rid of her. To do so would be to crack their intersectional coalition. And since 2012, Democrats have been running on that coalition … over and over and over again. It has only worked once, and that time only because Democrats radically changed every voting rule. But Democrats are wed to the strategy. And they won’t divorce it now.
All of which means that Trump still has the electoral advantage in 2024, should he choose to take advantage of it. He’ll have to be more disciplined than he has been against a walking corpse like Biden. He’ll have to focus on Harris’ record rather than her unlikability or lack of qualifications.
But anyone who proclaims that Harris’ entrance into the race means that she is now the front-runner simply isn’t living in the world of reality.
In the meantime, we bid a not-so-fond farewell to the candidacy of Biden. Now only one question remains: If he’s too senile to run, why isn’t he too senile to remain president for the next six months?
Does Ben Shapiro even have a clue that “someone” dropped Biden out of the presidential race?

We may never know.................
Stand by for act II. NCSWIC
PRAY for our nation, President Trump, for a peaceful transition of government. The Constitution and the future of the nation as well as the world are unfolding before us in real time. I pray God’s hand of providence is upon Our Nation, the American Experiment!

No, as Ben Shapiro is clueless.
He’s the new breed of William Kristol.
He’ll be touting a communist nominee about 20 years from now and trashing the conservative.
The demonrat party has DEI’d itself.
Ha!
Mr. Potato Head missing parts
They want Kamala to be able to run until November. If she wins in November, they will just turn the last two months over to her so she can get an early start on her radical attack on America.
Also it provides a pathway to the presidency for that eternally jilted candidate… Hillary!

Wome, the poor and minorities hardest hit.................

You can fool most of the sheeple most of the time. And that's all it takes for Dems to manipulate them.
Unmentioned is the internal civil war in the party between Jews and Muslims.
And Kamala has a white Jewish husband, a fact which WILL be brought up by Muslims.

I’d bet Biden ONLY willingly stepped away because his bosses, Nancy and Schumer, promised Jill he could keep on Presidenting for a few more months.
Excellent article by Ben Shapiro. On point and funny. Cold fusion.
“ the unique spectacle of the media finally holding the Democrats accountable for their dishonesty”
Will the fake media hold themselves responsible for propping up President Retard and lying about how sharp he was? I didn’t think so
Michelle consistently maintains she doesn’t want the job. They need to find another black woman to nominate. If I were a democrat, I’d recommend ***** ****. She would be a whole lot harder to beat than Harris. (*Don’t want to give the rats any good ideas)
Lincoln never experienced our public schools systems or social media as news.
