Democratic consensus solidifies around Harris, should Biden step aside
CNN ^ | July 20, 2024 | By Edward-Isaac Dovere and Lauren Fox

Washington. CNN — No one quite knows what the process of picking a new nominee would be if Joe Biden did step aside – but many Democrats say that any process is likelier than ever to quickly end with Vice President Kamala Harris as the nominee.

The informal conversations about how a fight to replace Biden at the top of the ticket would play out have been raging for weeks behind the scenes. But uncertainty about the process has been so unclear it’s given multiple Democrats – even those with serious concerns about Biden – pause about coming out against the president’s candidacy, given that what comes next could be even messier.

“F**k it, I’m coconut pilled. I just want this to stop,” said one well-known Democratic operative, referring to the online meme that has taken off from an old video of the vice president telling a story of her mother saying, “You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?”

It’s not that everyone has suddenly coalesced – but exhaustion is gelling into consensus.

“Father Time is weighing heavily on BOTH the Democratic Party and Joe Biden”

My only regret is that Brandon is in such mental decline he won’t remember how disgraced he was on the way out.

“The ony way Biden is leaving is feet first...imho.”

And I’m sure Obama, pelosi, Schumer and the rest of that barrel of snakes would be more than happy to assist.

The Democrats are bat-guano insane.

They even derive great pleasure from being crazy because it gives their empty lives meaning to belong to the bat-guano club (aka, the Democrat Party). They may say to themselves, "Yes, we are insane, but we are the Elites. And it is better to be a bat-guano Elite than a sane Deplorable."

Bat-guano people would naturally support a bat-guano person like Kamala.

They just don't see the problem.

"How could anyone go from betting on Biden to betting on Harris with a straight face?"

Easy. Most Dems are lemmings. They do what they're told.

“Dems are using the donors for leverage. Come out against biden or no money”

Biden has $92 million to spend on his reelection. The lines have already been drawn. He doesn’t need donor money. He can just go back down into the basement until November. People who voted for Trump in 2020 aren’t changing their votes. Biden has to worry about keeping his voting base aligned and that is easy.

I wonder how many people would take a Taylor Swift candidacy seriously.

Right around 81 million, I would guess.

XD I know, but man there are a lot of swifties. And they all have moms. And presumably a lot of them have Dads who do what mom says.

But that’s all just conjecture on my part.

What the commies WOULD have is a narrative plausible enough for the Republicans to grumble but go along with the “win”.

Although she doesn’t have dementia, Kamalamadingdong is even more of an idiot than Flatlinejoe. And her personality sucks.

Whenever it occurs, I think Biden’s state funeral will have a very different look than the funerals of past Presidents. Sort of an “empty streets” look. The number of viewers of the funeral broadcast will be record low. And then the historians (the honest ones, anyway) will have at him.

Lies are fragile. Truth is durable.

If Harris becomes the nominee it would be an admission that the Presidency is lost and the focus would shift to the House and Senate races. The upside for the D’s is that it would relegate Harris to, at best, being a potential governor or Senator for CA.

The mob brawl going on inside the venue where the Democrat (Socialist) National Convention meets will be almost nothing compared to the protest mob that will be gathered outside the doors and all up and down the street.

Compared to the 1968 DNC in Chicago, it poses to be a real barn-burner. The Democrat (Socialists) will have no way to put a good face on any of it.

“I belong to no organized political party. I am a Democrat.”

I don’t think they can overcome the dementia everyone sees with that strategy...but...I could be wrong! Especially with the number of demented people voting.

Willie Brown: “You that c0c$$ucker at the parties, right?”

Kamala: “You’re that married guy who always creamed my mouth”

Both laughed.

Willie: “I think I can get you started in politics”
