It is very obvious now that Joe Biden is a serious problem for Democrats. The Special Counsel report was devastating, and Biden’s presser only made it worse. We must understand that all Special Counsels are ultimatelyDeep State cronies. They will do everything they can to protect it, which means defending Democrats as ferociouslyas possible. There must be some façade of “fairness” and “impartiality,” so they will admit some wrong-doing by Democrats, but excuses not to prosecute will be found. Former FBI Director James Comey freely exposed Hillary Clinton’s criminality but then said she shouldn’t be prosecuted. And now Robert Hur did the same with Biden, citing some utterly asinine rationales. Donald Trump is only three years younger than Biden, but he can be charged for the same thing Biden did because, apparently, Trump isn’t as cognitively impaired. That is an insult to the intelligence of the American people, which admittedly, isn’t currently astronomical.
But, at all costs, the Deep State must protect its own. Joe Biden is a part of the Deep State; Donald Trump isn’t.
However, this kind of utter disingenuousness will only fool the most die-hard Leftist, and not even all of them. They know what Biden is. But Leftists are going to make excuses for Biden; they will exonerate him through all his foibles, because they like what he (and his puppet masters) are doing, i.e., destroying America, the country they hate more than any other in the world. It’s the logical conclusion of their atheistic philosophy: if there is no God to rule the world, then the highest form of authority becomes government. And that government should be controlled bythe Left. Thus, freedom, free speech, Christianity, and “America First” are wholly anathema to them. Leftism is their religion, and they will overlook any faults of its exponents who are in power. Love covers a multitude of sins.
But the problem the Democrats face now is that Biden’ssenility (as well as his criminal family activities) arebecoming so manifest that even the “mainstream media,” which has, up-to-now, included Biden’s staunchest apologistsand allies, is straining to defend him. He is making THEMlook stupid and foolish, and they can’t abide that. But, more than that, he might actually lose to Trump this year, and there is no greater horror imaginable than a second Trump presidency. This is Armageddon, the end of the world, Putin and Carlson all rolled into one. The worst nightmare conceivable.
Something must be done about Biden.
The MSM, and all of Leftism, has shielded Biden all they can, but they aren’t sure they can drag him across the finish line—or that they should even try any more. As noted,they are starting to worry that he MIGHT lose to Trump. Maybe he needs to go, and maybe he needs to go RIGHT NOW.
I’m not going to make any specific predictions here because I’m not a prophet inspired by God to know exact future events. But I will say that it would not surprise me, in the least, if Biden were forced out very soon in favor of Kamala Harris. This has some advantages for Democrats. A few of them:
1. She isn’t Joe Biden. That’s the main plus.
2. Two, it would save them from any kind of potentiallydivisive primary or convention fight soon before the electionover who their candidate would be. She would be the nominee. The Democrats, if they did run Biden out of townnow and put Kamala in the White House before the election, would have to be willing to live with her as their nominee this year. Admittedly, that is problematic at best. Hence, the Democrats’ problem.
3. She punches many of the right buttons for them. She’s black and she’s a woman—and those two things might stem some of the bleeding of black and female voters towards Trump (if there are any). Democrats must have blacks and women to win; that was a main reason why Kamala was put on the ticket in 2020 in the first place. Putting her at the top of the ticket certainly wouldn’t hurt them much, if any, with those two constituencies.
4. She would also be very controllable—as Biden is.
But the problem with Kamala is that polls show she is perhaps even less popular than Biden, even though she really doesn’t get very much exposure. She just appears to be so...dumb, and I hate to be ugly, but it’s the truth. Putting her at the summit, making her campaign for all the world to see, is probably not going to cure that perspective. Of course, Leftists don’t care how dumb Kamala is any more than they care how senile Biden is. The Left will support any Democrat they think can win because their Deep State will attempt to control the government anyway.
But this is the conundrum the Democrats face now. Can Biden win? If not, how can he be gotten rid of? He’ll only go kicking and screaming. Dumping him now and installing Kamala would simplify some things for them.
But can SHE win the Presidency? That’s the $64 question they would have to consider.
We shouldn’t feel in the least bit sorry for Democrats. They made this bed, they have to sleep in it. Their biggest dilemma is that their entire philosophy, from the ground up,is wrong and will produce grievous results in any country where it is applied. That’s what America is currentlysuffering through. But they aren’t going to give up their religion.
Biden won’t be easy to get rid of. But he CAN be gotten rid of—somehow. And Democrats very likely are going to do it. The only questions are, when, and to be replaced by whom?
Kamala to the rescue? Or maybe Big Mike?
Don’t rule out Hillary taking another stab. Stab as in both figuratively amd literally.
They believe any turnip on their side can win. They have plenty of tricks up their sleeves and a loyally blind press to back them up.
Merrick should be shamed into firing Jack Smith to prove that there is no two tiered justice system. Stop the persecution of Donald Trump and the J6 freedom fighters!
“It comes down to this: The Democrats will run only the person they believe can win. That person is not Kamala Harris”
I agree.
First, don’t for get the super delegates and 2nd, Al Gore is still available. The Chicago convention is going to be chaos.
Kamala is a woman. Jamaican and Indian is not black.
Too bad there's no Mayor Daley this time.
Then there’s the October surprise. I’m going back in my man cave to hibernate.
The communist praetorian guard in the White Shack are just going to overdose Biden with his own pills. “unfortunately, Joe, Biden, in an unguarded moment of privacy, took too many of his pills and suffered (something plausible) and has passed away at 3:00 AM this morning.”
> First, don’t for get the super delegates… <
The DNC changed the rules. The superdelegates can no longer vote on the first ballot. So they cannot stop Biden if he really wants the nomination…
…unless the DNC changes the rules yet again, and at the last minute. That would certainly anger the “I’m with Joe” Democrats out there. And there’s still a lot of them. They either don’t know how ill Biden is, or they don’t care.
As you noted, it is going to be chaos.
Serve? How? Doesn’t the White House already have a butler?...Presidency, you say? I would be more comfortable with the butler in the line of succession and keeping her busy rooting out root causes as Vice Butler.
“Two, it would save them from any kind of potentiallydivisive primary or convention fight soon before the electionover who their candidate would be.”
hardly ... the primary ballots are frozen in 80% of the states, so nearly all the delegates going into the convention will be pledged to dementia joe regardless of whether D.J. makes it there himself ...
should D.J. NOT make it to the convention, then all bets are off, and there’ll be a chaotic donnybrook that could last for weeks as the infighting reaches epic proportions ...
Dims are racist; all they see is the color of a person’s skin. What matters to them is only that she looks black and talks black
I agree with your assessment, some details may very but that will be the general outline of what will occur.
She is accepted as being a ‘woman of color’, the exact color is secondary.
You mean like the epic donnybrook that broke out when they stole the nomination from Comrade Sanders?
What if... nah, that’s too fantastical, but what if... can you imagine all the jaws dropping.
Michelle Obama seems so unlikely. Presidenting is hard. Why put herself in that position, the work, the criticism, the lack of privacy. The beaches closest to the Oval Office are pretty shabby.
Kamala Harris is the most logical alternative to Biden and yes, she’s not their dream choice. Voters don’t feel it.
But for sure Biden should hang up his spurs asap.
If they’re reasonable (I know...) they’ll find someone else at the convention, that is, shortly before.
Everyone’s ruling out RFK but it wouldn’t surprise me. He’s got the name, the luster (I know...) and aside from some unconventional ideas about vaccines, he’s a standard leftist and probably “controllable.”
They might have better options, in Dem eyes, but nobody as well-known as Kennedy. Would he go along? Oh yeah, he surely would.
So my picks are:
Winner by a whisker: Kennedy
2nd: Harris
3rd: Newsom
Scratched: Biden, lame on the way to the gate.
