With Biden stepping aside and Harris in, gloom over Chicago convention lifts
Chicago Sun Times ^ | Jul 22, 2024 | Lynn Sweet and Tina Sfondeles

With President Joe Biden dropping out of the presidential race and passing the baton to Vice President Kamala Harris, donors and delegates from Illinois said Monday that the mood of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago next month vaults from trepidation to elation.

“The mood will be dramatically different,” said John Cullerton, the former state Senate president who, as a member of the Democratic National Committee from Illinois, is a delegate.

With Biden staying in the contest, the convention “would have been depressing. There would have been a pessimism that Biden was not going to win. But now there is an excitement because we are turning the tables on the Republicans because now [former President Donald] Trump is the oldest guy in history running for president,” Cullerton said.

The Chicago Sun Times calls this news and puts it on the front page, but I have tagged it 'editorial' because it is.

The headline only refers to the attitudes of the party elite about what will happen inside the United Center. But the real story will be what happens in the street outside.

By how much the body count exceed the usual for the same time period?

The world will be watching, you know.

The revolution will be livestreamed because televizing is outmoded.

The DNC will be a funeral fundraiser for a Biden library.

When it comes to communism, the “media” always smiles and has nothing but “good news” for the obnoxious, dumbass “little people”.

And don’t forget the promised appearance on the streets of the pro-terrorist wing of the party!

I don’t see the Dung Beetle Party nominating an Indo/Caribeanner for their presidential candidate. Americans have had it with freeloading, narcissistic “refugeez” who come to screw up America after they screwed up their own country. I don’t think the far-left want a repeat of the Bidenskyyyyyyyyy Planet of the Chimps administration. Only an idiot hasn’t figured out that O’Bammy’s pardner, Big Mike is their candidate for 24. A honky RAT can’t get elected this time. Daaaaaaaayyyyyyyy-OH! I think they’re tickling Camelalala with a nomination so they can justify sending the Harris/Biden clowns off with some nice golden nest eggs.

After the super high energy of the RNC, I think the DNC is going to be boring and filled with hateful messages and drag queens. No reference to God or patriotism. Maybe they’ll forget to order flags again too.

DNC to dem voters..

We stopped ANYBODY from running against biden in the primaries.. Like you (the voter) wanted.

We forced the Prez you liked, out.

After Biden was forced out, we give you NO options to make your voice heard, offer multiple candidates. And let you vote for the nominee at the “convention”.

We Saddled you with.. THIS.. Cackling imbecile.

You Will got to convention. You Will BE “EXCITED!”. And you will shut your mouth and vote for who we tell you to..

this is the DNC Protecting “democracy!”

“The mood will be dramatically different,”

It's a fake high, like Hunter using crack.

There will be no riots. Hamas is getting the candidate it wants….the most anti-Israel candidate among any others who might have been seriously considered.

And now, the hamas lovers will only burn down half of Chi-town.

With fights between, hamas, illegals and home boys, the demonRAT convention should be very entertaining.

If the cackler's numbers don't reflect a dramatic positive change, she will get arcancided and the hildabeast will arrive to save the party.

They are using the same taco they did with Biden. All in for Kamala. Keep her exposure minimal. Deny she is incapable. When she performs terribly, media will lie for her. But it will be too late, they will have crowned her too soon. “Fweedom”

The DIMs are ecstatic about kamala. Wasn’t she rejected by the DIM voters in their presidential primaries a few years ago? I believe she won 1 vote before withdrawing in abject defeat. Now we are to believe she is the savior of the corrupt DIM party? LOL. More popcorn! The DIMs are power hungry and will do anything to preserve their hold on power...and the grift that accompanies it.
