As Biden flounders, why aren't more Democrats
sold on Kamala Harris?
Posted By: Moritz55, 7/6/2024 1:55:48 PM
It's been a week since President Biden's disastrous debate performance, and his political fortunes only appear to be growing worse by the day. His poll numbers are dropping. Donald Trump is gloating. And Democrats are in a full-fledged panic about the future, some feeling deceived by the president's handlers and angry that his inner circle appears to be blaming everyone but themselves for last week's debacle. Now it all boils down to two questions: Will Biden will drop out of the race? And who is in the top position to replace him? The answer to that the second question should be a no-brainer — the vice president, of course.

The Democratic Party is in the midst of coping with echoing calls for President Biden to bow out of the presidential race over concerns his mental acuity has slipped, and that he’s unable to serve as president for another four years if he wins re-election. As the party looks for potential replacements if Biden does in fact decide to conclude his political career, Vice President Kamala Harris sits atop the list of likely successors. Harris’ has a long history as a California liberal stalwart, serving as San Francisco’s district attorney in the early 2000s, before serving as the state’s attorney general under former Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown, and
Bidengate and the Doom Loop

The entire 2019-20 Biden candidacy and subsequent presidency were predicated on a rotten Faustian bargain. A hale Joe Biden would feign his aw-shucks, Joe from Scranton schtick. And an ossified working-class Joe’s camouflage would get the hard left elected—especially thanks to the changes in balloting laws that often saw only 30 percent of the electorate voting on Election Day in key states. In exchange, the two narcissistic Bidens would bask in the power and attention of the presidency. From the start, Jill and the media would orchestrate deep cover for Joe’s escalating dementia as well as the true intentions of the now-in-power radical Democratic Party with its neo-socialist agenda.
President Biden mixed up the state he represented for nearly 40 years in the U.S. Senate career while talking to voters in Philadelphia.
“Even when I was running for Senate, each time I ran, quite frankly, not a joke, Philadelphia, in particular, got me across the line,” he said during a campaign event.
He then doubled down on his statement. “No, I’m not joking,” he said as people cheered and applauded. “No, I mean it, seriously, organizationally, and in terms of fundraising — the whole deal.”
Joe Biden’s parallel universe
4 replies
There is a parallel universe in which Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin never knelt on George Floyd for 9 minutes and 29 seconds.
In that universe, the Democratic Party never genuflected to identity politics amid the 2020 Black Lives Matter unrest. Joe Biden wasn’t forced to choose a running mate as unpopular as Kamala Harris, who had been the first Democratic candidate to flame out of the primaries just months earlier. Biden was never left without a clear heir apparent, the absence of which made staying in the 2024 race at age 81 seem like a good idea. As a consequence, in that universe, Donald Trump never seemed likely for re-election.
CNN panelist Scott Jennings pointed to President Biden telling George Stephanopoulos on Friday that he would be satisfied losing to former President Donald Trump "as long as I gave it my all" as a profound moment where the president refuted the thesis of his campaign.
"The entire thesis of the campaign was democracy is on the ballot," Jennings said. "If I was a Democrat who hasn't blinked since January of 2017... and I heard Joe Biden admit that it's all just a facade, that it's all just a talking point, I would be freaked out right now to find out there's no animating issue for this campaign."

President Biden claimed Thursday he's been "in and out of battles" while addressing an audience of military service members and their families at Thursday's White House Fourth of July Barbecue. "And by the way, I've been all over the world with you. I've been in and out of battles," the president, who never served in the military, though as Commander-in-Chief, met with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine in February 2023 and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel in October 2023.
President Biden dodged questions about taking a neurological test and dismissed concerns about his age and ability to serve a second term during his first post-debate interview with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos on Friday, which was meant to re-assure Americans concerned about his candidacy. The president’s comments failed to calm the storm over his debate performance. Biden at one point suggested he was doing the "goodest job" he could, according to the ABC News transcript. He also seemed somewhat unsure if he’d watched his own performance, saying, "I don't think I did, no." Biden stated that "if the Lord Almighty

George Stephanopoulos, former Bill Clinton adviser and the ultimate Democratic insider, held an intervention masquerading as an interview Friday night.
Rather than ask tough questions about President Biden’s mental deficiencies and the message it sends to our allies and enemies, he begged in a dozen different ways:
Do you really think you can beat Donald Trump? Are you fooling yourself about how sharp you are?
Please Grampa Joe, hand over the car keys!
The Federalist's Mollie Hemingway said on Wednesday's 'Special Report' that the media is focused on the Democratic political horserace because they only care about power and not the country's wellbeing.
"Now they are, yes, telling some, you know, accurate things about Joe Biden's mental situation, but it's not because they're truth-tellers," Hemingway said. "It's because they seek power and they realize that the task has become too difficult with Joe Biden at the head of the party."

A New York Magazine article published Thursday described multiple instances indicating President Biden’s decline has been treated like a "dark family secret for many elite supporters," such as him not remembering the names of longtime friends. President Biden’s widely criticized performance in last week's debate has opened the floodgates of commentators questioning his ability to serve.
In 1927, Sigmund Freud published a book about religion called Die Zukunft einer Illusion (The Future of an Illusion). As a contribution to the understanding of religion, it is, like much of Freud’s work, both banal and outrageous. But it occurs to me that its catchy title as well as its main thesis — religion, Freud wrote, was invented to fulfill “the oldest, strongest and most urgent wishes of mankind” — has a certain pertinence to the large-scale entertainment now being offered to the public by Democrats eager to salvage the reputation of President Joe Biden.

A pair of well-connected Democrats have issued a bombshell memo detailing their wild plan to replace President Joe Biden on their 2024 ticket.
It would require Biden to step down as the head of the ticket by mid-July to pave the way for other Democrats to throw their hats in the ring for a 'blitz primary' that would feature celebrities such as Taylor Swift and Oprah, according to Semafor.
The six candidates with the most votes from delegates would also have to vow to run a positive-only campaign.The plan is the brainchild of Rosa Brooks, a Georgetown law professor who served in both the Obama and Clinton administrations
Actress Minnie Driver has insulted supporters of former President Donald Trump, claiming they “really quite like a bit of a racist attitude” in their candidate. She also dissed America’s founding fathers, saying there should have been some “mothers” involved in the creation of the country.
The Good Will Hunting star held forth on Trump and his tens of millions of supporters in an interview with The Times of London on Saturday.
Driver spoke about the “revelation of the 70 million people who really quite like a bit of a racist attitude and non-existent immigration policies and dismantling the environmental agencies.”
“They were always there,” she added.
France's radical left-wing coalition has vowed to bring in a 90 per cent tax rate on the rich following their shock election triumph on Sunday. In a result that caught political commentators by surprise, the New Popular Front (NPF) emerged as the biggest party in the second round of the elections which ended in a deadlock, gaining 182 seats ahead of President Emmanuel Macron's centrist Ensemble party, on 168. (Snip) The programme includes a 90 per cent tax rate on any annual income above €400,000, a reduction in the retirement age from 64 to 60, a block on the price
Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) said Monday on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” that former President Donald Trump was “capable” of the kind of violence that destroys democracy.
Waters said, “I believe when the president talks about, if he doesn’t win there’s going to be violence in the streets. He talks about civil war. He talks about bloodshed. I think it’s those kinds of issues that bring people together, because he’s talking about not only undermining our democracy, but he’s talking about destroying it. Then when you connect that with what happened on January 6th and they understand that, yes, you know, he really was in the leadership of that.

Joe Biden has not only indicated that he has every intention of staying in the race, but he has also refused to take a cognitive test, asserting that his presidential duties put his mental acuity to the test. So now that it appears he’s not going anywhere, Whoopi Goldberg gave a rather unflattering endorsement of Biden during Monday’s episode of “The View,” indicating that she’s still ridin’ with Biden even if he’s an invalid.
“I don’t care if he’s pooped his pants. I don’t care if he can’t put a sentence together,” Goldberg declared, prompting the audience to laugh. “Show me he can’t do the job,

veepstakes: Put Glenn Youngkin in the
mix — and drop J.D. Vance 29 replies
Donald Trump’s choice for veep is reportedly down to Gov. Doug Burgum and Sen. J.D. Vance, with Burgum having a slight edge.
But the race is changing fast, and the former prez certainly isn’t afraid to shift course to up his odds in response: The larger his landslide, the stronger his mandate and the longer his coattails.
So, while North Dakota’s Burgum would be fine (while Vance looks risky in any circumstances), it’s not too late to consider someone like Virginia’s Gov. Glenn Youngkin, who could clinch the case for Trump in a state that’s newly in-play — not to mention among swing voters across the nation.
The Biden family have entered the negotiation stage, as they face two simultaneous enemies aligned in common purpose.
Hunter Biden has been brought close into the fold, as the Intelligence Community obviously holds leverage over Dad’s disposition through the entry vector of his son. As this aspect unfolds, the Biden syndicate goes to the mattresses. The threat metric against Hunter is why he is now part of the daily advisory group around the Office of the President.
Meanwhile, in a coded message, Joe Biden technically blamed the Obama network today when he called in to the NSNBC radio show and pointed fingers at the DNC elite.

Democrats trying to dislodge Joe Biden will first have to combat the proxy commander in chief: Hunter Biden — and that’s easier said than done. With the Biden family digging in behind Joe staying put, any staffers or party grandees deputized to strong-arm Joe Biden out of being their candidate in November had better not underestimate the first son. While the focus has been on four-time Vogue cover girl Jill Biden and her screeching assurances that Joe is hale and hearty and fit for another four years, the first son has flown under the radar
Joe Biden informed congressional Democrats in a letter on Monday that he has no intention of dropping out of the race. Later, during an appearance on MSNBC's Morning Joe, Biden defiantly dismissed those in the party who are calling on him to step aside and offered anyone to challenge him at the Democratic National Convention.
"The American public is not going to move away from me as the average voter," Biden told hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough. "And again, I'm here for two reasons: One to rebuild the economy for hardworking middle-class people [to] give everybody a shot. It's a straight shot. Everybody gets a fair chance, number one."

The White House admitted Monday that a Parkinson’s expert who’s visited the executive mansion eight times in as many months has evaluated President Biden — but said the exams only took place during the president’s annual physicals.
The revelation was disclosed in a letter from Biden’s personal physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor hours after White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to explain the flurry of recent visits from the Parkinson’s specialist, Dr. Kevin Cannard.
“Dr. Cannard was the neurological specialist that examined President Biden for each of his annual physicals,” O’Connor wrote in the letter.

In a shocking announcement on Sunday, Rob Reiner declared “it’s time for Joe Biden to step down.”
Rob Reiner announced his dramatic change of heart in an X post, saying if Trump wins, “we lose our Democracy.” The actor-director didn’t clarify if he wants Biden to give merely give up his re-election bid or to resign the White House — or both. [Tweet]
The stunning change of heart comes after Reiner has spent the last several years as one of Biden’s biggest entertainment industry supporters,
President Biden on Monday bluntly rejected suggestions that he bow out of the presidential race in a letter to congressional Democrats, arguing it would undermine the preference of voters and ignore his record.
The president, in a letter shared by his campaign, spoke directly to drama that has engulfed the Democratic Party since his disastrous debate performance June 27 and called for lawmakers to unite behind his candidacy. “The question of how to move forward has been well-aired for over a week now. And it’s time for it to end,” Biden wrote. “Any weakening of resolve or lack of clarity about the task ahead only helps Trump

Trigger Alert. This was written by a leftist journalist in a leftist paper. I’m posting it to show just how deluded some leftists are and why it will be difficult for Dems to find a more formidable replacement for Biden. ☺️
