Biden has endorsed Kamala Harris and that's who the Dems will go with.

Well what do you know.
NPR radio people are orgasmic.
I put FOX on when I got home. They were more smarmy. Then they cut to Kennedy who was making a statement. But when he started talking about the deficit as the country’s biggest problem, and that Trump presided over the biggest deficit increase n history, FOX quickly cut back to the talking heads.

Now are the Dems gonna circle the wagons and unite or start cutting each others smarmy throats? Circle the wagons clockwise then fire to the right. |

If I were a Republican strategist, I would be squashing that talk about Biden needing to step down from the presidency immediately.
What if it actually happened?
100 days as the incumbent president would be a nice feather to add to Kamala Harris' campaign.
100 days to look presidential. 100 days with the mantel and all its trappings. 100 days of great free presidential PR. 100 days to enact a few presidential actions/programs/decisions that are popular with enough voters. 100 days to either smooze foreign leaders or stare at them with great firmness. 100 days in Air Force 1. 100 days to...
Ooh... I hope I'm right about the 100 days part. That would be embarrassing. Let's see, July 21st until, um..., when's the election? Early November? Let's see...Thirty days has September, April, June and November, 31 for the rest, well, not Feb, and, um...
Anyway, it's talk that would be a big ass backfire if it helped it to happen, and if I can see it ...

Hopefully Joe won’t forget that he withdrew tomorrow.  That said I think he is a decent human being that has had to shoulder much more than his fair share of heartache in his life. I think history will treat him much more kindly than his arch rival. |

I thought Trump's response on his social media deal was quite gracious. “Crooked Joe Biden was not fit to run for President, and is certainly not fit to serve – And never was! He only attained the position of President by lies, Fake News, and not leaving his Basement,” Trump said in part. “All those around him, including his Doctor and the Media, knew that he wasn’t capable of being President, and he wasn’t – And now, look what he’s done to our Country.” That is exactly what I would expect from Trump. Kick them when they are down and make sure you look good doing it. But I will agree Biden had to go and the dumb ass Dems should have done it months ago. |

The shenanigans continue. A "virtual" convention.

My guess is (as a guess is all I have) is that Joe's decision to step down, and it was his, is proof, to me, at least, that he still has his marbles. He forgets what drawer they are at times, but he has them. They are there.
I'm basing my medical opinion on the "won't give up the car keys" marker, the clear indicator of a cognitive blowout. I know, you know, we all know, it is nigh on impossible to get someone whose faculties are well on their way down the drain to give up the car keys and admit they can't drive anymore.
Joe gave up the car keys. That indicates he still has clear reasoning. And his reasoning told him that what he was being told by friends and advisors was true. Admitting a truth you don't want to hear is a sign not only of a fully functioning brain, but of wisdom. And Joe admitted a truth he didn't want to hear or admit to. That earns a fellow five out of five stars in my book.
(and being knocked on your ass by covid can help with the wisdom part.)

Stop that. I almost threw up. Granholm is a naturalized citizen born in Canada. She became a citizen at age 21. I don't believe she's eligible to be president. |

Maybe Harris will pick Taylor Swift for VP. Swift won't be 35 until December, after the election but before inauguration. Might require a ruling from Trump's Supreme Court. If it's thought Swift would help Harris we know what the ruling would be. |

I'm seeing quite a few references to Sen. Mark Kelly of AZ as a VP suggestion.
