Even now, if you type "Democratic National Convention 2020" into a search engine, all the news results that come back are dire predictions of how badly the Republican National Convention might go.

Of course with virtual conventions and all the promises thrown at the Bernie Bros (I think Hume is absolutely right about this one), at least Biden can be sure that there won't be ruckuses on the convention floor and in the surrounding streets. At most Biden's crew might have to worry about a bit of hacking. That might clear the way for Biden to sweep up the nomination majestically, but any mental lapses on his part and any technical glitches of the sort his "campaign from home" ran into would stand out like sore thumbs.

So, yeah, it's weird and might easily be telling that the media's not only burying the lede here but the entire story. Hell, in their world this should be a public celebration, right?

That is the very simple and honest reason why the left is fully backing Joe Pervert. I'm just surprised that anyone on their side will admit it.

I'm not surprised. Marxism is in vogue, especially in Santa Cruz and in the circles she travels.

Angela Davis is a committed Marxist. At least she has the courage of her convictions, unlike the weasels on the right who turn out to be 'Never-Trumpers'.

Angela Yvonne Davis (born January 26, 1944) is an American political activist, philosopher, academic, Marxist feminist, and author. She is a professor emerita at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Davis was a longtime member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) and is a founding member of the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism (CCDS).

Today the NY Times published a piece about ongoing planning for the Democratic National Convention which is scheduled to start in Milwaukee one month from today. Originally intended to host 50,000 cheering partisans the in-person event has now been pared down to about 300.

one month before the party is set to gather at a convention site smaller than the one originally selected, officials are expecting the quadrennial event to include as few as 300 people — a number that includes not only attendees but members of the news media, security personnel, medical consultants and party workers.

Every aspect of the four-day Democratic National Convention, scheduled to begin Aug. 17, has been scaled back from the ambitions set when Milwaukee was named the host city in March 2019. A program of five to six hours of daily speeches, engineered to entertain delegates in the arena and draw heavy television coverage and headlines for Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his vice-presidential nominee, will be cut down closer to three hours each night. Much of the program is likely to be pretaped videos, according to people familiar with the planning…

As of this week, only Mr. Biden and Tom Perez, the Democratic National Committee chairman, are committed to come to Milwaukee, although party officials said the program was still being written. They’ve even given the event a new slogan to reflect the change: “Convention Across America.”

Wow, with only 300 in attendance, the projection of enthusiasm is abysmal. Joe truly is the driver of this Super Funtime Shit Bus.

Pathetic.

Scripted comes to mind. No spike in support from the enthusiasm generated by the convention. Hopefully it's the 2020 death walk to the election for the democrats.

And just think...they probably had to PAY those 300 to show up.

Sounds normal for them.

Is Michelle Obama Biden’s trump card?

In April, author and political commentator Michael Walsh predicted that Joe Biden would choose Michelle Obama as his running mate within a month or so: "[It] would be an unstoppable ticket, and potentially give the Obamas eight more years in the White House." Walsh quotes Dick Harpootlian, South Carolina's former Democratic Party Chair: "If she engages, God help Donald Trump, because she's tough as nails and enormously popular."

Mrs. Obama, Walsh wrote, "is the perfect vice presidential candidate, one who will ... push progressive causes, and check all the social justice boxes" while sparking a massive African-American vote, a feat beyond Biden's wildest dreams. But it's mid-July, and Biden is still dithering. Or is he? In any case, the scenario Walsh lays out remains plausible:

* The party would enthusiastically unite around Mrs. Obama.

* MSM coverage would be universally adoring.

* Former president Barack Obama instantly becomes a valuable asset.

The extended dog and pony show allows Biden to hold back his announcement that Michelle is the one until the timing is right for the greatest effect. I've seen little speculation recently in the liberal media about Michelle joining Biden. For me, that's a tell. When/if she's finally unveiled, it will be a political supernova, with the news dominating the media until election day, and Oprah waxing rhapsodic, and Ellen DeGeneres shedding tears of joy, and all Hollywood erupting in approbation.

At a time when "white guilt" is the sin that must now speak its name, Michelle Obama is uniquely situated to assuage that guilt and endear herself to a vast swath of the white electorate who want to believe they are not fully responsible for the "systemic racism" they've been told is embedded in their personalities and in American culture.

Michelle Obama is going to play second fiddle to some senile, old white dude? Give me a hit of that 'cause whatever you're smoking must be good.

She's already stated she wasn't interested. Apparently she likes making millions of dollars to write books and make speeches, something she couldn't do as VP.

Would anyone argue she's no more qualified than the other obama to lead a country? Rhetorical as stated in the article, qualifications mean nothing in politics.

Attention will swing away from Dementia Joe and focus on her. Biden can stay in his basement until Election Day.

It's all about the black vote, and the "white guilt" vote. Trump has made significant in-roads with the black vote.

I hope she won't do it.... Kamala Harris would be far better for Trump supporters. But I have no doubt that many Democrats are still trying to get Michelle Obama on the Biden ticket.

Joe BiteMe is looking more and more cadaverous with each "public" appearance. I wonder if he'll survive to even cross the finish line in second place?

I believe the hispanic voting block is more motivated than the blm voting block.

Latinos on track to be largest share of nonwhite voters in 2020, Pew says

"In the next presidential election, 32 million Hispanics will be eligible to vote, just slightly more than the 30 million voters who are black."

Why Has Biden Hired 600 Lawyers?

https://spectator.org/mail-in-...n-biden-600-lawyers/

During a recent fundraiser, former Vice President Joe Biden announced that his campaign had recruited an army of 600 attorneys to prepare for expected legal battles pursuant to the upcoming election. Biden says he needs all these lawyers to fend off “voter suppression,” which he defines as any opposition by the Trump campaign to Democratic calls for a dramatic expansion of mail-in voting. The president believes that such a precipitous change in our electoral process will create chaos and encourage election fraud. He’s right. “Experts” insist that fraud is rare. In fact, it is quite common, and mail-in voting exacerbates the problem.

The Heritage Foundation maintains an election fraud database that documents 1,285 proven cases of voter fraud, many of which involve mail-in ballots in swing states that will decide the 2020 election. In the all-important state of Florida, the database documents dozens of election fraud convictions, including the theft and illegal filing of votes via absentee ballot. In 2013, the chief of staff to Democratic Rep. Joe Garcia (FL-26) was sentenced to 90 days in prison and 18 months probation for “orchestrating a plot involving the submission of hundreds of fraudulent absentee-ballot requests.” Garcia exploited a chronic vulnerability of mail-in voting that the New York Times describes as follows:

Election administrators have a shorthand name for a central weakness of voting by mail. They call it granny farming.… Voters in nursing homes can be subjected to subtle pressure, outright intimidation or fraud. The secrecy of their voting is easily compromised. And their ballots can be intercepted both coming and going.

The database documents hundreds of examples, including the particularly egregious case of former Democratic Rep. Austin Murphy (PA-20). Murphy was indicted by a Pennsylvania grand jury for multiple counts of forgery, tampering with public records, criminal conspiracy, and election code violations. After closed door negotiations, however, all charges were dropped except for absentee ballot fraud. He was eventually convicted of forging the ballots of senior citizens living in a nursing home, and had the audacity to claim that he was merely assisting them in exercising their voting rights. Murphy was quite literally smiling as he walked with mere probation.

Similarly fraudulent activity involving mail-in voting, absentee ballots, and other varieties of voter fraud is well documented in all of the crucial 2020 swing states. The database lists 42 criminal convictions for Wisconsin, 33 for Florida, 26 for North Carolina, 20 for Pennsylvania, 20 for Arizona, and 11 for Michigan. If you include all 50 states and the District of Columbia, the total documented criminal convictions for voter fraud comes to 1,110. Yet many election “experts” continue to insist that genuine instances of such fraud are so few that the issue merits little or no concern for policymakers. The “nonpartisan” Brennan Center for Justice, for example, advises us not to worry:

Mail ballots are essential for holding a safe election amid Covid-19, and security concerns can be easily addressed.… President Trump and his allies, however, are pushing back against this option, raising spurious claims that fraudulent mail ballots will contaminate the election.… Mail ballot fraud is incredibly rare.

Ironically, the authors of the above passage attempt to convince us that voting by mail is safe by citing the electoral efficiency of states such as Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Utah, and Washington, where it is the primary method of casting ballots. As it happens, however, the Heritage database documents a significant number of voter fraud cases in three of the five states. It shows 15 criminal convictions for Oregon, 11 such convictions for Colorado, and six criminal convictions for Washington. The only vote-by-mail state with no election fraud convictions is Utah. This is likely an artifact of the state’s small number of active registered voters (1.5 million) rather than the security of voting by mail.

Even if all politicians and poll workers were as pure as the driven snow, there’s a huge elephant in the room that the advocates of mail-in voting refuse to acknowledge — the efficiency of the U.S. Postal Service. Rick Moran writes at PJ Media, “Voting is not a group activity … forcing people to vote by mail unnecessarily involves postal workers, clerks, registrars, and election officials — any one of which can screw it up.” Moran points to a study by the postal service inspector that revealed various mail-in ballot problems, which effectively disfranchised numerous Wisconsin voters in April. Nor is it just Wisconsin. As Mark Hemingway recently pointed out at RealClearPolitics,

Between 2012 and 2018, 28.3 million mail-in ballots remain unaccounted for, according to data from the federal Election Assistance Commission. The missing ballots amount to nearly one in five of all absentee ballots and ballots mailed to voters residing in states that do elections exclusively by mail. States and local authorities simply have no idea what happened to these ballots.

So much for the electoral efficiency of those much vaunted vote-by-mail states. If a mere five states can “misplace” 28.3 million mail-in ballots, an average of about seven million per election, try to imagine the chaos that will ensue if the 24 states controlled by Democratic governors attempt to implement all mail-in voting during the next 90 days or so.

Enter Biden’s army of lawyers. In 2016, at least six states were decided by less than 1.5 percent of the vote. Any state that goes to Trump by a narrow margin will be pounced upon by Democratic pettifoggers screaming about “voter suppression” and proposing bizarre recount schemes. It will make Bush v. Gore seem like a cakewalk.

The good news is that the increasing anger of ordinary Americans over the past four years of Democratic skullduggery — the Russia collusion hoax, the asinine impeachment, the pandemic of fear-mongering, the astroturfed attacks on our heritage — will almost certainly result in an electoral backlash resembling Reagan’s 1984 rout of Walter Mondale. Indeed, like Mondale, our erstwhile VP has promised to raise taxes. Trump will trounce Biden so badly that 6,000 lawyers won’t be able to save him.

Well, at least the Spectator piece ends on an optimistic note...
