MAGA trashed the US Capitol. Kick ass lecture though.

I think she will be more Obama than Biden wrt Israel.

Apparently JD has an affinity for couches

....... so why do we care what a bunch of grifters think about the Democratic nomination?

It was probably Shaun King

I was intrigued by your question too. It was conspicuous that no actual person from the organization was named.

yeah I don't really get it. There isn't really a process for what's unfolding, so there isn't a process of excluding anyone. Maybe there is and it's subtle/hidden IDK but I saw what seemed to be a lot of Dems that could make a pretty substantial challenge to Harris if they wanted to do so decide not to do it on their own volition.

yeah I did lose his first name, I even googled beforehand and apparently there was a politician by Frank Thompson so I went with it but it didn't seem right so I re-googled. That's how dedicated I am to accuracy in this forum 😄 I think a lot of what you said about his career is why I thought his flameout was so epic. I recall the media really hyping him hard core too before he came into the race.

Fred Thompson and Wesley Clark come to mind for me.

the best part of his speech was the go blue chants from the crowd\

One really nice surprise from this, there are some really great folks on the Democratic bench. Gov Walz is on MSNBC now and he's awesome. Related to CMRiv's post, Alex Wagner just slyly called DJ Vince the VP nominee... for now.

Lol wow. Who knew DEI contained a hard R? House GOP leaders urge members: Stop making race comments about Harris https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/23/gop-race-comments-harris-00170735

I think macho man used to call it puke-amania and that was prescient

The Sheik is an absolute Twitter legend. Master of swear word usage. I miss him.

More conspiracy I'll wonder about for a while.... Biden challenged Trump to that debate. Timing was really early which was... interesting. Did Biden's campaign think that was a good idea? Why so early? That debate is really the only thing that's moved any numbers in like 2 years.

One of my favorite political photos. Gov Walz after he signed universal free meals for school kids. Whitmer did this too in Michigan.

I would be open to agreeing with a notion that when Biden decided to bounce, a handoff was coordinated with Harris. I'm ok w/ believing the notion that Biden decided that on Saturday, not way before then. That would be awesome if they rope-a-dope'd trump like that though. G2 do you think it's conspiratorial to think the Democrats that wanted him out intentionally made the "stay in the race" option untenable?

I think this happened to an extent too. I think when they started going public, it became untenable, and they chose to do that and I think it was purposeful, my understanding is it was after many private attempts. I also think some donors may have consciously decided not to donate to force him out, but I think others probably just thought he was doomed and it was a waste of money. In the end, if he remained and was nominated, I expected to see a commercial 2 minutes after his acceptance speech listing off all of the Democrats in his party that said he wasn't fit to be president. I don't know how he can recover from that.

Do you mean he was literally forced, or they made the stay option so bad that the correct choice was clear? Or something else?

LOL
