“The worst that could happen is a slap on the wrist in two or three years.”?

the GOP would have sued the DNC every which way put loose, and that money would have been tied up until doomsday ... and the Democrats knew that ...

[discostu]

No. Completely wasting a presidency and not eve trying to do anything doomed it. Neither Biden or Harris could run on 4 more years, because 4 more years of what exactly? Can’t even say they did bad things, they did nothing.

“how could the Dems have anticipated that it would be this bad?”

uh, because every Dem insider who had to deal with her knows she’s an empty-headed, stupid, moron? [including the vast majority of her staff, who kept quitting] ... either that, or all of those Dem insiders are as stupid as she is ...

Wasn’t it only in the past few years that Moochelle declared “For once I am proud of my country” (owtte)?

“And a California governorship in the near future”

I’m not so sure. Why would she want that?

California is in a lot of trouble. She’s not a problem solver or deep thinker.

She is not comfortable campaigning and she has a, less than stellar, record as a California politician.

I think Mr. Twain is right, she has the cash and she’s positioned to earn a ton more telling her “story” for a fee. There’s no competition, friendly audiences rather than foes. She can get paid handsomely doing what she does second best…cackling.

I guarantee Duane Ward, the founder of Premier Speakers Bureau has opened negotiations and has dangled $$$$$$$ allowing his team to represent the first female vice president.

Accepting the unproven premise that the Democrats actually have any very impressive politicians and candidates within its ranks the reality is that none of them were willing to risk immolating their political careers by running for the Presidency, handicapped by the utter manifold failures of the incumbent administration.

Not even a mildly competent political hack wanted to run with THAT millstone around their neck.

“It is now clear what many of these Never Trumpers are. They are in fact nutjob leftists, even if some of them do prefer lower taxes and spending than the nutjob leftists in the Democrat party.”

Leftists? No. They are Deep State operatives who are now just realizing that once this country goes full commie, they are going to be the first ones eliminated in the purges. It’s been that way throughout history. The middle class won’t be touched because that is the source of all the tax money. And even though the commies want a two tier society with the middle class eliminated, it cannot happen.

Want to know why some in the Deep State are campaigning with Harris (Cheney comes to mind)? It’s because she is more afraid of Harris than Trump. And as always, in the end Trump prevails.

Two things missing:

• Halperin’s description of Karamela’s campaign as an “experiment” yields to experimental failure , BUT how many neomarxist “experiments” have been utilized simply to line their pockets? When Babyeater McGrath ran as an anointed straight-up loser against Miotch, the donks funneled 100M of dark money through her h-l~s and into their overseas accounts (fitting, given that is where most of it originated). MattressBack is McGrath x10. A billion dollars no one will demand accounting for IF she loses.
• A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag. Or in other words, drag queens are not fit to run this country. This is STILL a Judeo-Christian nation at its core. The pendulum has always returned. The facr that the Deep State grabbed the pendulum in 2020 has merely accelerated its momentum. They know now the only way to overcome MAGA is to give it 4 more years and try to defeat Trump with a post-midterm Amnesty.

Democrats were forced by Trump and the good guys to dump Biden and select Kamala and Walz. Simple math.

[lasereye]

He seemingly called Newsom “impressive”. I think he only meant that he’s good at getting votes. Not that he’s a good governor. I may have been wrong thinking that he’s a Never Trumper.

"...[T]hey demonstrate that they don’t care about women’s equality at all."

Kind of tough to make people believe you care about women's equality when you can't even define what a "woman" is.
