I'm in the middle here: Biden DID have a very successful presidency for a one-termer.

He was also clearly on the decline and would not have lasted much longer, and I don't buy the argument that he was doing great on the campaign trail.

---

Yeah, Biden has been a good President, but his recent decline has been quite evident. As people look to the next four years, he is a no go.

Trump is a buffoon and a self-serving menace. Hopefully he will be stopped.

I'm not a big Kamala Harris fan, but she would do fine, if she can win. Right now, it's going to be damn hard for another Dem to enter the race and say, "Nominate me instead of the Black/Asian woman!". So it's likely VP Harris. Fingers crossed.

Gavin Newsom for President

He has thrown his support to Harris.

Will any other Dems declare to run??

Jen Psaki concedes that the 'process' at the convention will be a fake competition meant to prop up Kamala Harris:

According to Jen Psaki, the Democrats are going to rig the DNC to make it look like there's a process for other candidates to run but in reality, they are going to install Kamala no matter what. Sometimes, they just say things out in the open like this. Look at Rachel Maddow's confused face.

---

Did they happen to see how she did in the primary last time?

Did they notice her approval rating and her polling numbers are almost exactly as bad as Biden's?

I thought the idea was to select a more popular candidate.

It would be great to have an actual primary process where Mayor Pete, Governor Breshear, Newsom, Whitmer, and others could face off.

What is happening is a traveshamockery and I swear I would vote Republican if it was anyone other than Trump running.

I am not registered Democrat and I likely never will be. What a messed up political party.

Yes, there should have been a real primary, but that only could have happened if Joe Biden had dropped out a lot earlier, and he didn't. Given where they are now, Kamala is by far the most viable. You were one of the people arguing that Joe shouldn't drop out, by the way.

The Democrat Party has shown time and again that it will decide who its candidate will be.

And... hey... it's their right.

Just do away with the primaries entirely then. Oh, wait. They did.

Joe shouldn't have dropped out, but if he did what's the point of replacing him with the unpopular woman who was already on his ticket?

At this point I'd vote for any Republican not named Donald Trump just to stick it to the Dems.

---

This is a very emotional and silly way to vote.

There are logistics issues with going with someone other than Harris. And the reality is that, maybe other than Whitmer, there isn't anyone well known enough with enough appeal in the battle ground states and with the donors this close to the election.

I will say one thing about the Democrats. They have balls that the Republicans lack.

I questioned their ability to do the right thing by pushing against the head of their party. They did. And Biden eventually capitulated. The day I see the Republicans show some backbone and the voters choose country over a man will be the first. The few brave Republicans who did so were pushed out of the party despite their strong conservative history and policies.

---

The elephant in the room is that the dems replaced Biden with a candidate whose polling negatives with the overall electorate are worse than Bidens. There is a weird dichotomy that a majority of dems wanted Biden to withdraw, but there are no clearly better candidates for a general election.

I would not be at all surprised if they find a way to nominate some one other than Kamala. The DNC convention is not for a few more weeks. I think the upcoming polling will show that other candidates - Whitmer, Gavin, and others - have better polling than Kamala. And we now know that the dem power brokers have no hesitation to flex and install their preferred candidate.

According to Jen Psaki, the Democrats are going to rig the DNC to make it look like there's a process for other candidates to run but in reality, they are going to install Kamala no matter what. Sometimes, they just say things out in the open like this. Look at Rachel Maddow's confused face.

---

Did they happen to see how she did in the primary last time?

Did they notice her approval rating and her polling numbers are almost exactly as bad as Biden's?

I thought the idea was to select a more popular candidate.

It would be great to have an actual primary process where Mayor Pete, Governor Breshear, Newsom, Whitmer, and others could face off.

What is happening is a traveshamockery and I swear I would vote Republican if it was anyone other than Trump running.

I am not registered Democrat and I likely never will be. What a messed up political party.

---

Yes, there should have been a real primary, but that only could have happened if Joe Biden had dropped out a lot earlier, and he didn't. Given where they are now, Kamala is by far the most viable. You were one of the people arguing that Joe shouldn't drop out, by the way.

Which Republicans would you have voted for over Kamala?

---

Joe shouldn't have dropped out, but if he did what's the point of replacing him with the unpopular woman who was already on his ticket?

At this point I'd vote for any Republican not named Donald Trump just to stick it to the Dems.

---

There are logistics issues with going with someone other than Harris. And the reality is that, maybe other than Whitmer, there isn't anyone well known enough with enough appeal in the battle ground states and with the donors this close to the election.

I will say one thing about the Democrats. They have balls that the Republicans lack.

I questioned their ability to do the right thing by pushing against the head of their party. They did. And Biden eventually capitulated. The day I see the Republicans show some backbone and the voters choose country over a man will be the first. The few brave Republicans who did so were pushed out of the party despite their strong conservative history and policies.

---

D's absolutely did NOT put country over man. That is 100% absurd. They made a calculation that they were going to lose and abandoned a sitting president who won the nomination. And they were pushed to do it by mega donors closing their check books. What they did is the height of cowardly hypocrisy and politics.

Something like 40 of Trump's former cabinet members don't endorse him, not to mention his own VP.

Guys like John Bolton, Mike Pompeo, Gary Cohn, and Rex Tillerson aren't guys whose opinions I care about on any topic. All they care about is using the U.S. military to protect the business interests of megacorporations. As for bearister's hero, James Mattis, he wanted regime change war in Syria. Trump told him to go **** himself.

There are all kinds of reasons to want someone better than Trump as President, but the opinions of a bunch of neocon Republicans are not the reason why. And the American people choosing a bad President is still better for democracy than the Democratic Party model of having elites rig the presidential primaries three primaries in a row.

If the small coterie of Democratic powerbrokers -- a few megabillionaires, Obama, and congressional leaders, the NY Times, etc. -- persuade Biden to step down, despite his insistence that he remain no matter what, it will be the perfect instance of the Elites Actually Decide.

I'm in the middle here: Biden DID have a very successful presidency for a one-termer.

He was also clearly on the decline and would not have lasted much longer, and I don't buy the argument that he was doing great on the campaign trail.

---

Yeah, Biden has been a good President, but his recent decline has been quite evident. As people look to the next four years, he is a no go.

Trump is a buffoon and a self-serving menace. Hopefully he will be stopped.

I'm not a big Kamala Harris fan, but she would do fine, if she can win. Right now, it's going to be damn hard for another Dem to enter the race and say, "Nominate me instead of the Black/Asian woman!". So it's likely VP Harris. Fingers crossed.

---

Gavin Newsom for President

---

He has thrown his support to Harris.

Will any other Dems declare to run??

---

Is your idea to force people to run for President who have chosen not to run?

---

The Democrat Party has shown time and again that it will decide who its candidate will be.

And... hey... it's their right.

Just do away with the primaries entirely then. Oh, wait. They did.

---

Democrats voted for President Biden and Vice President Harris as his backup. Then grassroots Democratic donors gave approaching $100 million in 24 hours to Vice President Harris. The people chose Vice President Harris and you have sour grapes because a cabal did not choose your fantasy draft choice (who didnt even run). Enjoy the grapes.

---

I see. We vote with our dollars instead of at the polls now.

---

If you want to ignore the whole part about the vote then sure, I could see making that argument

---

I don't recall anyone voting for Kamala Harris for POTUS in the primary.

I don't favor this "process" either but come on, man, the GOP is 10x worse. They've got a quarter of their leaders retiring because they can't stomach trump, letting in room for all others to flip 180 degrees and kiss Hitler's ass.

---

This statement reflects the left's ultimate truth - it's just pure politics. Claims about existential threats, threats to Democracy, 25th Amendment (for Trump), mandatory cognitive testing (for Trump), etc, etc, etc are ultimately crappola. Because when push comes to shove the only thing that matters is having their team win.

Did they untie the Biden family yet or are they still holding them against their will? It's been over 24 hours since they generously volunteered not to run?

Either Trump doesn't choose the right people to surround him or he generates no loyalty or followership (which would be minimum table stakes to be an effective leader).
