The Democratic Party is in an absolute tailspin right now - unless the tailspin has already transitioned (see what I did there?) into a straight nose-dive.
To be clear - there was and is a significant contingent of Democratic Voters who had serious reservations about voting for Biden in 2020 out of fear for a Harris administration if Biden could not complete the term. Harris in the wings was sort of like Dan Quayle - but worse. Fast forward 4 more years - watch Biden provide irrefutable proof of everyone’s concerns over his age and feebleness - and now the risk of Kamala’s feet on the resolute desk in the Oval Office is greater than ever. So what’s the logic in handing the baton at the outset to the person many are fearing in the first place? Doesn’t make sense.
But bypass the coronation of Kamala as the ‘chosen one’ and force the Democratic Convention to pick an entirely new name out of the Bingo hopper and all of the single issue voters (woman / person of color) will stay home in protest.
Dems have no chance of winning without the voters who know Kamala isn’t qualified to be president and they can’t win without the voters who are casting a ballot only because of her gender and ethnicity. That’s not just making a deal with the devil. That’s making a deal with the devil - getting ripped off - and striking up another bargain.
45 will become 47. My only hope is that he manages to keep the stock market sailing. Say what you will, but the Dow and the S&P posted all time record highs while Ol’ Joe was in office. Conservatives will say the Pres has no control over the Stock Market - but it’s hard to justify heaping all the blame for the cost of milk a gas on the President without giving credit for the soaring markets. Commander in Chief is either in control of those things or he isn’t.
