    Hundreds of millions of dollars of PAC money for Biden are tied to her, for better or worse. The people who donated to those PACs don't get a refund.

    I am saying anyone in the DNC who has a shot at 2028 will be sitting this one out and cheering on Kamala Harris. You may have some people with no shot of the nomination running against her, but that's it. 

    To your point, Obama hasn't backed her yet. If for some reason, someone else emerges as the nominee from a contested convention, then they are going to be behind the 8 ball by a lot. They'll need laws to change to get listed on the ballot in some swing states. They'll have missed out on 3 weeks of early voting in some swing states. They'll have 10 weeks to run a campaign. Against a guy who survived an assassination attempt. 

    No one worth a fuck is going to take on that challenge. They're going to say "party unity," "we stand with Harris," while ensuring that they're not going to touch the Harris campaign with a 40 foot pole. 

    If conservatives start filing lawsuits to keep potential Dem candidates off the ballot, or just to slow down the whole process, I think it'll backfire on them. Not a good look if you need to result to legal hail marys just cuz you're (seemingly) afraid of a new candidate. 

    They could have every legal right to do so, I just think it'll make them look weak

    Agreed. Not a good idea to disenfranchise the voting public. It'd be the same as getting Trump removed from Colorado's ballot or Ohio trying to raise the vote threshold to 60%.  I bring it up because it's something that will require effort from the campaign.

    @vaportrail

    Remember when you said Musk's tweet about Cheatle wasn't a DEI thing....

    ... Lol

    I do remember. I also remember you saying that running security for Pepsi is adequate preparation for running the secret service. lmao

  • Harris is running and apparently Biden can transfer dementia like vampirism. She sounds brain damaged.

    Or, you know, her working for the secret service for 25 years before that point, including as deputy assistant director. 

    But a lot easier to make a Cheetos joke and have your millions of always online borderline incel followers have something to laugh at I guess.

    Having worked in both the Air Force and the VA, this is a major problem for all aspects of the federal government. The Secret Service has a no-failure mission. She failed. 

    I am not sure why you are so hung up on this.

    She's a DEI hire, just admit it and quit filling this section with your usual bullshit.

  • New reports this morning
    Gov Whitmer has said she won't be leaving Michigan in response to questions about being potential VP for Harris
    Pelosi has endorsed Harris
    Sen. Manchin has ruled out running for the Dem nomination

    Because I think the immediate desperate lunging to make this a DEI issue is stupid. I think all of the right's attempts at wedge issues, to scare their base with issues that don't exist, only serve to distract us from solving actual problems. This situation is only the latest attempt. 

    She could have failed. It could have not been her fault at all but she's at the top and ultimately in charge. Whatever. That doesn't mean we have any of the "DEI" issues every conservative is falling over themselves to scream about (great distraction from guns too).

    I think Harris would need to grab the most boring white guy possible for her VP. 

    This is still America

    Yes, Trump truly is the victim of the big, mean media

    Biden only lasted one month under the same scrutiny Trump was under for 8 years.

    I would vote for a bag of dead cats over your favorite rapist. Dems aren't a cult of stupidity that follow their orange messiah.

    This is not a made-up issue. She went on national news and bragged about making a USSS quota of 30% female agents years ago. Fast forward to this month and the female agents assigned to Trump were unable to physically shield his head. That is a failure directly tied to DEI. Once again, by saying that this issue doesn't exist, you are gaslighting. 

    It's clearly a component of the failure. But for you to say it's completely unrelated is no different than someone saying "oh she failed because she's a woman," or "guns have nothing to do with it."

    Damn, now I want her to pick Buttigieg just for maximum crying from the cult. But PA governor may be the "smart" pick.

    Just stopping by to say hi.  🙂  Biden finally realized the obvious- "image is everything", and knew the shouts of he's too old and looks senile sunk him deeper than the Titanic after a horrendous debate non-performance.  

    Too bad about Whitmer, I'd pick her over Harris in a heartbeat...  But as has been said around here- she has her eyes on 2028. and her poll numbers currently as a presidential candidate are in single digits. Newsom isn't interested either. 

    So who?  Names out there...   Andy Beshear?  Roy Cooper?  Josh Shapiro? Mark Kelly?  Forget about Peety Buttigieg , America isn't ready for an openly gay candidate. Or making the ticket "too black" Picking a guy like Raphael Warnock. My choice is Kelly, followed closely by Shapiro.  

    Yes, right now DJT's in the lead, but a LOT can change in three months. MHO? Our current endless election cycle has gotten beyond ridiculous. Votes have hardly been counted, and political parties are already gearing up for the next election. Plenty of other countries run their elections in a few months- or even weeks.
