Interestingly, Nancy Pelosi held a meeting with the California House delegation on July 10th, nine days ago, to strategize how to exit Biden without a “coronation of Kamala Harris.” Details of the meeting are only coming out now.
Keep in mind, only through an “open convention” process can someone other than Kamala Harris take over the ticket. Pelosi gives the appearance of calling for the democrat base to have a say in the replacement, but in actuality it’s the only way the club insiders can select a nominee that’s not Kamala Harris.

So far, the ball is in Slow Joe's court.
To quote Monty Python and the Holy Grail:
Joe: "I'm not dead...! I'm getting better...!"
Pelosi: "No you're not, you'll be stone dead in a moment."

The coup attempt continues, led by Pelosi, who obviously hasn't relinquished her power.

So Nancy wants an "open convention" so she can get around the coronation of Harris... Whoa Nancy, you sound a bit racist there, hypocrit! It doesn't matter though because Trump will be our next president... Thank God ! MAGA

Pelosi despises Trump (witness here tearing up his State of the Union Speech on live TV). Her hatred from Trump comes before fairness and the exercising of democracy during the primary. I would not be sad if she had a stroke when Trump wins in November.

LOL. They have NO problem whatsoever with this brain dead turnip being President for the last 3 1/2 years. Not until his mush brain was shown to the whole world did they think it was an issue for the country.
Now let's not get carried away and think only the Dems are this way. Let's not forget the whole Glitch McConnell episodes a few months back.
Most of them are only going to leave feet first. And even then, there will probably be claw marks on the marble floor of the Capital.

Nancy Pelosi is older than Biden whom she wants to oust from the democratic race for president. It seems the Democratic Party has become ancient not only in years destructive in ideology. Jeffries who now is minority leader of the house is young but it seems the elderly dominate. Maybe it’s time for the democrats to recede from leadership roles for a few years.

Pelosi probably suffers from some level of alcoholic dementia and liver disease. Most importantly she is an evil woman. TDS was and is the focus of her miserable life. She will take that to the grave!

It's the democrat method. If things aren't the way you want them, change the rules. Greed got them here. They killed off any young that was up and coming. Now they are left with nothing but puppets.

So what happens to the hundreds of millions in the Biden/Harris war chest? Will they bribe Joe to go away with it?

They thought they were being so farsighted to expedite his formal securing of the Dem candidacy, partly to defang the pressures to have actual debates in the primaries and deflate the growing pressure from Kennedy Junior. Now those best-laid plans run into the Law of Unintended Consequences. Resisting Schadenfreude is manageable, knowing the lesson of counting chickens before hatch, and having already seen a clear Trump victory snatched away by fraudulent use of ballot harvesting.

As I see it, the Dems have only one clear choice.
Biden is mentally unfit.
Kamala is totally unfit.
Clinton is hated by all.
Newsome has destroyed California.
The only clear choice is AOC - the true standard bearer for liberalism.

"Democracy" in action, no doubt. Democrats seem to be the most undemocratic people around. They really should shut up.

There is of course the problem of accessing the campaign money already raised if both Biden and Kamala are not on the ticket, but don't forget how innovated the Dems are at dodging and weaving around the law. I am almost curious to see just how they'll do it...

Pelosi shouldn't be calling for anything except a funeral home to make her final arrangements. They will need to put a stake through her heart before the box is laid in the ground.

Don't kid yourself. There's 1 reason and only 1 reason the Dems want an open convention. They want to control the endgame of the election by keeping the focus on THEM and the last-minute drama about who their candidate will be. It's their attempt to silence Trump and also to keep him off-kilter because he will have to oppose an unknown candidate. Let's hope the Pubbies are prepared.
I'll bet the Dems know very well who their candidate will be. They ALWAYS have a backup plan and they HAD TO know Biden's declining cognitive issues could cause major problems. To think that this is all spontaneous is naive and they'd never allow themselves to be in what appears to be such a weak position. What we're seeing is a dress rehearsal of a carefully-choreographed performance.

"OPEN CONVENTION!" ... that reminds me of the move, "Animal House," and their, "ROAD TRIP!"
This will make the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago look like a kindergarten birthday party.

What if RFK's name is entered into the open convention's standard list of the usual idiots? He beats Kamala, Joe and Hillary. Never under estimate the levels to which dems will soil themselves for power. Just look at Joe and Hillary.

I noticed that this meeting was only the California delegation. I think Kamala would make a worse president. But, that does not seem to be the concern of the California Democrat delegation. The reason for having an open (aka, brokered) convention is to select somebody other than Kamala. If Biden does pull out of the race, the power elites in the party would probably replace him with Kamala since she is his vice-president now and would be the least disruptive replacement to the rank and file Democrats. By declaring an open convention somebody other than Kamala could be selected. The party insiders would decide on the replacement, but the appearance would be that it was decided by the delegates.

Go for it, Nasty! Shove aside the somewhat black historic first female VP and watch the black vote fly away.
