Nah, it will be Harris. They can go full identity politics with her and she will get a honeymoon with the media like no other. It ain’t over yet. But I think Trump’s speech tonight will be on for the ages. Fight Fight Fight!

Shapiro is done as a national candidate.

He had one “shot” at it—and failed.

The shift in women and black vote will be significant

And that is factual. And Team Trump certainly knows this.

They’ll need to reprint all the pre-completed mail-in ballots.

Unlike Senators from New Jersey, the President is not directly elected by voters, rather, he is indirectly appointed by State Legislatures who appoint the 535 members of the Electoral College (Congress granted itself 3 Electors in 1960).

Since all 50 State Legislatures, and Congress, at present use the method of citizens voting to appoint their Electors, it LOOKS like there is a thing in November called a "Presidential election", but it only LOOKS that way.

There are no "Presidential elections" in the Constitution, no "being on the ballot", no "running for President", no "nominations", no "calling states for...", and so forth.

Thus, if California votes for "Biden" when "Biden" is not "running", the California Legislature will simply appoint 53 Electors to vote for Newsom, or Whitmer, or Satan for that matter - all perfectly legal and Constitutional.

Would be interesting to see if there is any activity uptick around Harris right now.

She'll probably sitting behind the resolute desk as we speak, throwing Jill's stuff out.

Joe will be another innocent casualty of the Covid Wars!

Yep. I think this Covid crap is going to be his excuse to withdraw due to a "serious medical condition" that's not dementia. Note however, he won't resign the presidency due to his "serious medical condition", just his candidacy.

They need to talk about Harris tonight at the RNC

It may not be she.

I’ll paraphrase/extend a line I just saw on X:

The Democrats — who loudly and repeatedly say Trump is the nation’s greatest threat to Democracy — are about to deny their own voters the Democratic process of having voted for their own chosen nominee for President.

Well, there was William Henry Harrison. Soon after inauguration he died of what they thought to be a bad cold. Might have been something worse in those days with no modern antibiotics. Shortest presidency to date.

If she becomes 47, Trump can’t have that number.

Timing would be good from a PR standpoint, it drivers the positive impact of the Republican convention and the Trump assassination attempt right off the radar screen

"Wouldn’t surprise me a bit if he resigns in a Sunday night address, to try to take away some of the bump in the polls that Trump will get coming from the convention."

Not when that Secret Service karen is going to be raked over the Capitol grill Monday morning.

THAT event would overshadow Biden quitting, not the other way around -- one of the rare moments the MSM can't control the Narrative.

“Harris is polling better against Trump than Biden.

It is time she takes the top spot.

I suspect Biden will say he will fill out his term and will campaign for Harris.

Running mate will be irrelevant.

The shift in women and black vote will be significant, tightening things up enough to allow for the steal.”


Unfortunately, I believe that you are spot on

In presidential elections, do we vote for a candidate or for electors? If the latter, those pre-marked ballots may still fly.

I agree with you about ‘sticking with Kamala’. Who will be #2 on the ticket?? I do not see a 2-woman ticket ... that would be a loss for sure, IMO. I do not see Kamala agreeing to run for mere VP - she will be running for President ... Mobama is not going to run for VP unless there are plans to ‘remove’ Kamala by ‘hook or crook’ shortly after inauguration day, should that ticket happen to win.

So again, WHO would be Kamala’s #2? Got to be ‘male’ & younger than most of the dinosaurs in the DemonRat party. Gavin is going for 2028 ... IMO, he won’t take the chance of losing as Kamala’s #2, nor do I think he would tolerate a position of #2 to the Cackling Kamala.

Talking to a relative about this & and their immediate answer was Pete Buttplug. There was some talk of running him for president earlier. I can see ol’ Pete in the #2 spot to Kamala. Woman of ‘color, gay guy who is a ‘mom’. DEI met ... merit, competence, etc. not a factor.

Exactly. Her one job as border czar and she failed miserably. She’s not qualified to run the city of San Francisco or the state of California let alone the entire USA.
