Oh bull!
They'll turn on her just as quick as any of the others of their ilk that are no longer useful!
Thump - thump go the bus wheels.

A USA Today-Suffolk University poll placed Vice resident Kamala Harris' approval ratings at 28%, 10 points below that of resident Joe Biden. The U.K. Telegraph tweeted: "With Kamala Harris looking unelectable, the Democrats are considering the nuclear option. Whispers in Washington suggest Joe Biden's camp has a plan to find a more popular replacement ahead of the 2024 battle."
When Harris ran for president, she dropped out before the Iowa caucus, the first contest in the primary. She garnered little support from her home state, California. Harris got called out for hypocrisy during a debate by rival Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, for -- among other things -- prosecuting marijuana crimes only to make light in an interview about smoking marijuana.
When Harris quit the race, she said: "I've taken stock and I've looked at this from every angle, and over the last few days I have come to one of the hardest decisions of my life. My campaign for president simply doesn't have the financial resources we need to continue."
But the party's presidential nominee picked her as his running mate. When Harris became vice president, Biden announced her role as a border czar and also asked her to be his point person to push the passage of a proposed "voting rights" law. The border remains a mess, and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act was stalled in the Senate. Her staff grumbled off the record, calling these two jobs lose-lose, and even suggested "racism" at play given the growing stature of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. And then there is the cackle. Critics say Harris resorts to this kind of phony, uncomfortable laughter when she struggles to answer questions for which she is not prepared.
All of this raises the question: Why did Biden choose her in the first place?
The answer is simple. The woke/identity Democratic Party could not and would not abide another presidential and vice-presidential ticket with two white males. The party's most loyal constituency is black females. According to Pew Research Center data released in 2020: "In 2018 and 2019, 48% of White women identified as Democrats, compared with 35% of White men. ... Among Hispanic women (67% identified as Democrats vs. 58% of Hispanic men. ...) ... Black women (87%) were more likely than Black men (77%) to identify as Democrats."
So, Harris checked the necessary boxes -- a female "person of color" who identifies as black. But this also presents a problem. If the Biden administration tossed her overboard it would face a withering attack of "sexism and racism." Consider NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson's response to the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse, the teenager on trial for killing two white men and injuring a third in Kenosha, Wisconsin: "We have seen this same outcome time and time again. ... This verdict is a reminder of the treacherous role white supremacy and privilege play within our justice system."
In addition, while Harris may be broadly unpopular, she enjoys a 72% approval rating among black voters, and her approval among black female voters is likely even higher. So, the only possible way out is for Biden and the party to swap her for another black female. But the bench is shallow.
Michelle Obama? She hates politics and has repeatedly said she has no interest. Oprah Winfrey? Ditto. Domestic policy adviser Susan Rice? Tainted by the falsehoods about Benghazi that she peddled as former President Barack Obama's national security adviser, Rice was not put forward as Obama's secretary of state because she would not have gotten Senate confirmation. Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif.? Too offensive. Former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams? She claims, despite a lack of evidence, that she actually won but her race was stolen. This would rob Democrats of their attack line against former President Donald Trump, who makes the same claim about the 2020 presidential election for himself. Virginia Lt. Gov.-elect Winsome Sears and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice? Wrong party.
No, the Dems are stuck with Harris.
There is no good way to replace her with Hillary so she remains a polyp away from the Presidency.
how about the jihad squad?
all are just as inexperienced and incompetent as Harris
“..and even suggested “racism” at play given the growing stature of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.”
In the progressive world competent does not matter, only if you are one of the special people and as Orwell wrote “all pigs are equal but some are more equal”.
So today a homosexual is more special then a “woman of color”.
I hope Republicans never go down that rabbit hole.
Com’on Larry, after the 2020 election, the Democrats and the left really do not give a donkey turd about polls. They know they can manufacture votes and the rank & file Democrats, especially blace Democrats will nod, clap and shout “Hallelujah”.
They also know that at least 3 Vichy Republicans in the Senate will vote for any nominee they put up.
And the House? Well, you saw how 80 Vichy Republicans voted on the bill to track our vaccine records.
Oh bull!
They'll turn on her just as quick as any of the others of their ilk that are no longer useful!
Thump - thump go the bus wheels.
She may be POTUS before they can toss he in 2024 because dopey Joe’s potatage gets worse with each passing day.
JUST IN: Symone Sanders, Vice President Kamala Harris' chief spokesperson, to leave White House - CNN— Breaking911 (@Breaking911) December 2, 2021
Only more of a “woman of color”, not less, could replace Kamala.
And so Michelle...
You know the left howled the same sentiments each time someone left the Trump Administration ‘rats leaving sinking ship!’.
Advice: don’t read too much into resignations. The show will go on.
Ain’t nobody got time fo dat!
“how about the jihad squad?”
According to the logic in the article they aren’t the correct race. Also, I suspect the squad are very offensive to a large segment of the population, some of which are Democrats.
The Democrats are in a tough spot. They know they need to find a way to get Harris out of the VP spot. However, they cannot simply remove the first female and minority vice president without touching off a huge backlash. Some have suggested that she will be named to the Supreme Court, but I don’t see that happening. It’s too high profile a position, and even the Democrats realize what a train wreck the confirmation process would be. My theory is they’ll create a new cabinet post (Secretary of Infrastructure?), with Harris publicly announcing her desire to vacate the VP spot in order to take on this “immensely important new challenge” (plus, they’ll pay her a boatload of money behind the scenes to make that announcement.) This will allow Harris to save face, with Joe Biden “reluctantly” agreeing to her wish to accept this new assignment.
They wanted a black woman on the ticket and this is what and whom they chose. Hoist on their own petard.
And I'm polling* at 3%....
*: Electoral polling, not the other kind of poling Harris does....
There may be a reason Biden is actively blocking the release of the JFK assassination documents after all these years. If the DS and the Democrats can set up a “MAGA Supporting Patsy” then I wouldn’t be surprised to see history repeat itself. I honestly hope that she has good protection because the last thing we need is for her to become a martyr and for them to install another puppet who might be more popular/smart and resonate with the brain dead masses.
“But the bench is shallow.”
I don’t think so.
The tv programming, news, commercials, EVERYTHING is wall-to-wall, loudmouth, angry, ignorant and biased black women!
BTW-That’s why I turned OFF the TV and I will NEVER watch ‘news’ or ‘interview’ programming.
They were stuck with Seth Rich, too…
Obama probably suggested Harris and Obama will be consulted on the next step to take, since she is not useful to the progressive cause.
How about Mad Maxine, she’s a real sweetheart???snort
