Two days ago, I wrote that ‘The Dem Civil War is Over Who Will Replace Biden”. The battle would be between the faction lining up behind Kamala and the one pushing some sort of limited primary.
Biden’s tweet endorsed Kamala. Hillary came forward to back her too.
DNC chair Jamie Harrison, who actually has the power here, however issued a statement saying that, “the Party will undertake a transparent and orderly process to move forward as a united Democratic Party with a candidate who can defeat Donald Trump in November. This process will be governed by established rules and procedures of the Party. Our delegates are prepared to take seriously their responsibility in swiftly delivering a candidate to the American people.”
Obama’s statement also emphasized a process, “We will be navigating uncharted waters in the days ahead. But I have extraordinary confidence that the leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges. I believe that Joe Biden’s vision of a generous, prosperous, and united America that provides opportunity for everyone will be on full display at the Democratic Convention in August. And I expect that every single one of us are prepared to carry that message of hope and progress forward into November and beyond.”
Neither man mentioned Kamala. Obama’s statement emphasized the “leaders of our party” deciding. So much for democracy.
Members of Congress, including Pelosi ,Schumer, and Bernie Sanders tweeted about Biden, but made no mention of Kamala either. Rep. Clyburn, who arguably was responsible for Biden agreeing to pick a black woman, however endorsed Kamala, even though he had previously proposed a primary. AOC, who backed Biden to the hilt, but was also furiously trying to protect Kamala’s succession, has yet to make a statement.
A primary doesn’t preclude Kamala and with access to Biden’s war chest, and the backing of Biden and the Clintons, she automatically moves into the pole position. The legal process also makes it easier for her than anyone else to succeed Biden. But it’s clear that some key players would like there to be other options. Even if they eventually pick Kamala, they want it to be a dealmaking process in which they get something out of it.
Kamala is probably inevitable, but it’s not going to be a straight line. And if nothing else a process now is possible which might upend the election completely in an even more dramatic fashion. For example, the Michelle Obama fantasy some had harbored is still unlikely, but now possible. Aaron Sorkin of West Wing fame had an op-ed proposing the Dems pick Mitt Romney.
For the moment Dems are free to dream until they accept the horror that they’re stuck with Kamala.
And then they’ll have to pick a VP.
There is nothing that has to be legal about it unless they decide to vote in a state by state election. It is a private club. It can be decided in a smoke filled room and rubber stamped by acclimation.
It looks like the Democrat voters are disenfranchised too. Behind the scenes, Obama is controlling things. They knew Joe couldn’t win down ballot, they used Biden so they could run the Shadow government behind him! How much fundamental change are we going to see next. They knew all along that Biden was not capable of running the country.
Bareback Hasbeen Obama couldn’t control a bowel movement, much less the US government. When are conservatives like you going to disabuse yourselves of that foolish notion?
“Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch”– Matthew 15:14.
Don’t worry about the Democraps. Keep an eye on the agencies.
The alphabet agencies and the “Democraps” are one and the same thing.
Imagine it all being done on Twitter?
I ask Is there no Presidential Stationary at the beach house in Delaware? Is there not Seal, no actual pen for Biden to sign with?
Or is he incapable of using any of that at all? Why do we know about such a significant event from a photograph of a letter of his stepping aside? It is all like a show, a charade.
and BTW, where is the Nuclear brief case? Who has it?
This ending shows even more that he was NEVER THE LEGITIMATE PRESIDENT. He knew it, we knew it.
And the endorsements from legitimate Politicians are coming on Twitter.
Are there any sane people left? How is this happening?
My question is: What (aside from the complete destruction of the Democratic Party) do we want right now?
What do we Pray to Hashem for specifically right now? Not a general Please help our country.
For us to not be hipocryts, and because we care more about our country than politics, we should be calling for him to resign. But that gives Kamal and the crowing of Queen Kamala at the DNC – which would make us all sick. But we shouldn’t care about that we should care about what is best for us for the next 5 months.
‘the leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges.’ ???
These people are reprobates in mentality too! That may be all good and fine for their party and ‘our democracy ‘ but the Constitution already has a process for a Democrat mess like this.
Congress should insist on the 25th amendment immediately. Allow no quorum on a vote until Biden is removed! This is not only necessary for our national security, but also their sworn duty. It would also be a brilliant political move by making the Democrats own this! Force them into the process of choosing a VP and put Harris in office now.
They have absolutely no one who can beat Trump in a fair and honest election. This is common knowledge. They must steal it, again. If they cannot cheat they cannot win. They have been hard at work refining their cheating methods for all of Biden’s term in office.
For Democrats, “The People and the Party are One”! So whatever the Party decides is by definition Democratic.
Has anyone seen enough of the bad actors yet? Note some of Dems crying about what a great leader Biden has been. He hasn’t even been running anything accept getting rich for himself and his family.
None of us should feel glib about this. The timing may turn out to be perfect. The left is scheming and calculating 24/7 and they have a way of pulling rabbits out of hats, in part because the media does their bidding and, in part, because a large (and growing) number of Americans who are brainwashed fools. And they vote.
The bar was set so low with Biden that the relief Dems feel right now is palpable. They’re riding high, raking in money, etc. Don’t underestimate their energy and what they will project to the public via a very slick marketing campaign. It’s entirely possible that as a result of this shake up on the left, Trump’s campaign could appear as if it peaked too soon.
The left advances “by any means necessary” and no one should underestimate their ability to pull this off, shocking and unimaginable as that may be to sane people who are paying attention.
Daniel, you write as though we have true elections. What Happens Now? Same thing happened last election for POTUS, the DemoCraps steal the election. You do realize that nothing has been done in the last 3+ years to prevent another theft of the election?
The same election machinations that existed in 2020 are still in play today. Drop boxes and mass mail in balloting are still legal in the swing states which will lead to a fixed election for the Democrats. So it’s not about who can run against DJT, it’s about IF the citizens will accept the results of Trump losing.
Michelle/Gavin 2024 is the only way folks will consider the election results legit. That victory is the way Conservatives will stand down and focus on another “Red Wave” in 2026.
There is and won’t be a Dem civil war. They’re all lining up behind Harris. Pelosi just endorsed her and Obama will likely fall in line soon. At this point, it’s highly calculated and what we’re seeing is theater play out as the back room sweetheart deals are made.
And for those thinking Joe should resign, in my view, that will make things worse.
1. Joe hasn’t been in charge for a long time.
2. Kamala will be as bad, if not worse, than Joe.
3. If he resigns and she takes over (aka the deep state in control) the left will be even more jublient, what with “the first woman president” and all of that. It will increase the enthusiasm and galvanize women and young voters even more than is already happening.
4. She won’t have a record to critique because she will be in office for such a short time there just won’t be much there to go on (plus she may tone things down for that short time to prove how reasonable she is just as the Dems are doing in the hearings today) yet she’ll have all the benefits of being the incumbent plus all the enthusiasm.
We are in serious trouble, as a nation, and for this election. Joe bowing out was a major injection of energy for the left and they are going to maximize it, and then some.
Wait till AFTER she’s “coronated” and the ballots are en route from China and THEN hit the DEMOcrats with an “Inconvenient TRUTH” – The Kamala is INELIGIBLE for the Office since her PARENTS were NOT US CITIZENS when she was spawned!
