President Biden's announcement that he was abandoning his reelection bid was just hours old, but Bill and Hillary Clinton wasted no time in giving their full support for Vice President Kamala Harris as his replacement.
Their lengthy post lauded Biden for his supposed achievements—even as his approval ratings are in the cellar, inflation is harming the average Americans, and untold numbers of illegal aliens are streaming across our border. They argue that America’s future depends on Kamala getting elected:
“President Biden has capped his extraordinary career of service with a Presidency that has lifted America out of an unprecedented pandemic, created millions of new jobs, rebuilt a battered economy, strengthened our democracy, and restored our standing in the world. By any measure, he has advanced our founders’ charge to build a more perfect union and his own stated goal of restoring the soul of our nation. We join millions of Americans in thanking President Biden for all he has accomplished, standing up for America time and again, with his North Star always being what’s best for the country. We are honored to join the President in endorsing Vice President Harris and will do whatever we can to support her. We’ve lived through many ups and downs, but nothing has made us more worried for our country than the threat posed by a second Trump term. He has promised to be a dictator on day one, and the recent ruling by his servile Supreme Court will only embolden him to further shred the Constitution. Now is the time to support Kamala Harris and fight with everything we’ve got to elect her. America’s future depends on it.”
It was only recently that Hillary’s name was being floated as a possibility.

Meanwhile, as I wrote earlier Sunday, Kamala’s problems as a candidate are legion:
The problem for Warren—and for Harris—is that Kamala is a deeply unpopular politician and her chances of winning the presidency are slim. Her term as vice president is perhaps best known for her legendary cackling and incomprehensible, kindergarten-level word salads; however, her tenure as border czar was an incontrovertible failure, and she has little to offer in the way of a vision for the country other than “abortion, abortion, abortion.” WATCH: Trump Comes Out Swinging, Torches Kamala Harris
Kamala Harris Is the DNC's Big Virtue Signal
The Kamala Harris Delusion
If Kamala is the Democrat nominee come August, Donald Trump would have to be pleased. He would likely eviscerate her in a debate and would constantly remind her that she helped one of the biggest coverups of all time, namely, helping hide the fact that a sitting president was mentally compromised.
The Clintons seem largely irrelevant at this point, desperately trying to make headlines. It's doubtful that their endorsement is going to excite many Americans other than die-hard Democrats.
“Then Hillary will identify as lesbian or male. That should do it.”
You may not have noticed but lesbians have basically disappeared. I read an article* explaining why and it has something to do with trans women who want to have sex with lesbians and lesbians having nothing to do with them. The two of them, fake women and lesbians, can’t exist together in the aggrievement universe. The rest of LGBLHOHHJ++ did away with lesbians.
* In order to understand the article’s “reasoning” you had to look up about a dozen nonstandard words that are only used on university grounds and certain publications that want to do away with the Christian male dominated fascist abusive culture that 90% of the rest of America is part of.
I couldn’t find that article but I did find this one.

“The Clintons are always working some angle”
Maybe Kamala has promised Hillary the VP spot.
Obama doesn’t want 2 female puppets-one is bad enough.
For how long?
(That's what I thought it said. . .)
Once again, the Clintons are triangulating against Kamila and Donald. They will weasel their way into power somehow. The Demoncrats may recruit her to deal with Donald and then give her the VP position.. Then all bets are off.
I think they want to pry the dems away from the obamas
If Harris is not a natural born citizen, as we’ve all heard, how can she run for president?
No one is more aware of that than the Clintons. They are playing both ends against the middle, since Kamala's poll numbers suck; and since they have many friends in the party, they would have nothing to gain by being nasty to a has been like Biden.
The two premier political schemers of their generation certainly knew Biden was doomed when they endorsed him.
She is already Vice President which has the same Constitutional requirements as the office of President does.
“If Harris is not a natural born citizen, as we’ve all heard, how can she run for president?”
Agreed. But is there anyone who has “standing” willing to get this to the Supreme Court and would John Roberts let it be heard?
I daresay it's "Poke Salad Annie," as in pokeweed.
And if a gator's got someone's granny, I sure hope it's Hilary.
Let's play connect the dots, shall we?
Epstein...
Maxwell...
Sex trafficking (including minors) ...
Lolita express ...
Bill Clinton (Bill taking over 26 trips according to Fox News) ...
Hillary Clinton ... and...
The definition of "enabler".
(All "dots" easily confirmed with multiple sources online.)
Low info voters don't know much about Cattle Futures, Uranium One, Private Email servers, Benghazi, Cheating on debates, and a host of other quite revealing departures from that which is considered ethical, honest or presidential. But they can connect the few, simple dots above.
I see two ways to look at this.
1. The Clintons think that if Harris is passed over, there will be a rebellion from blacks in the party and they want to prevent it.
2. They want to negate any influence the Obamas might have on who is selected.
To me, they’re equally probable.
Endorsement by Bill Clinton would sway a few votes, yes. But the endorsement by HilLIARy cancels that out completely, and more.
This is their way of stabbing Ineligible Harris in the back in a shrewd way with good optics.
They know she can’t win and they are still waiting in the wings for the DNC Puppetmeisters to decide who to run. HilLIARy still thinks she has a chance...smiles smiles smiles
Typical Clinton triangulation.
They’re for it now, completely all-in.
But new information will come to light which requires “careful consideration”.
Then they’ll knife Kamala in the back.
The good news: Hillary has got to be seething right now. Seething.
You’re exactly right. Hillary would have her bumped off at the first opportunity. And she wouldn’t bat an eye.
Hillery would have her bumped off ASAP.
The Clintons are always working some angle. Could this be cover if Harris has an “unfortunate accident” at someone’s hand and the Clintons could say “don’t look at us, we even endorsed her.”
What I think is more likely than the “unfortunate accident” scenario is that they’re counting on chaos at the convention at which point she can offer herself as the compromise candidate, the elder-statesman who can bring the party back together.
Politics is theater.
Please make Hillary V.P.,and speculate and bet on Kamala’s terminate date????.
