Oh so Biden got over his “Cold” and your putting him back out there for another run at it. Good stay in there and don't pull out. That really is the best thing for you to do now. Go get 'em tigger.

Ignoring controversy, Democrats move forward with nominating Biden via virtual roll call

Democrats are in an unprecedented crisis over who should be their presidential candidate.

But the party committee that governs the nominating process met Friday and proceeded as if everything was normal and its entire plan was not at risk of being upended at any minute.

As calls mount for President Joe Biden to step aside and let another Democrat lead the party into the November election against former President Donald Trump, the Democratic National Convention’s Rules Committee held a virtual meeting where the message to delegates was, essentially: Everything is proceeding as planned.

The meeting was convened to discuss plans for a virtual roll call vote to formally nominate Biden weeks before the convention, but no votes were taken or decisions made. Instead, party leaders used the meeting to inform the nearly 200 members of the committee about the process that is currently planned, which they had already laid out in a letter earlier this week.

The committee will meet again no later than Friday, July 26, to consider adopting the virtual roll call process, which would not be held until the first week of August.

The virtual roll call idea has plenty of detractors inside the party, but the only hint of dissent in the meeting came in questions about whether other candidates could be nominated for the virtual roll call (answer: technically yes, but actually, probably not). Otherwise, the virtual meeting was uneventful — despite starting moments after four more Democratic members of Congress called on Biden to step aside.

Party leaders like Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison spoke repeatedly about his excitement to “renominate President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris” and to promote the “Biden-Harris ticket.”

Leah Daughtry, a longtime Democratic rules expert and the co-chair of the Rules Committee, joked about trying to turn the committee members into “rules geeks” by the end of the process.

And convention Executive Director Alex Hornbrook, appearing from his office in Chicago with a large, red “Biden” banner over his left shoulder, gushed about the exciting events planned for next month’s convention and touted that the convention is credentialing social media influencers just like traditional reporters to help “tell the story of the Biden-Harris accomplishments” to young people.

The purpose of the meeting was to lay out the party’s proposed fix to a paperwork problem that has been causing some outsize heartburn for Democrats as they debate whether Biden should remain their nominee.

Parties typically formally nominate their candidates at their national conventions, during live roll call votes where each state weighs in (Trump was nominated on Monday in this fashion). But since May, Democrats have been discussing plans to nominate Biden weeks before the convention via a virtual vote, in order to avoid a potential legal issue in Ohio.

Democrat godfathers make Biden offer they hope he can't refuse

https://www.foxnews.com/opinio...-hope-he-cant-refuse

Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the Democratic Party commission seem prepared to make Joe Biden an offer he can’t refuse: One way or another, he’s dropping out of this race, they say, either with his consent or with his legacy destroyed.

Just when Biden thought his candidacy was safe, after the assassination attempt on Donald Trump quieted talk of a swap at the top of the ticket, they pulled him back in, and now the pundits tell us that his campaign won’t survive the weekend. We’ll see.

For the bosses of the Democrat family, ending Biden’s political career is a three-step process. First they ask him to leave, then they tell him to leave, and finally they threaten to destroy him if he won't wise up. We are almost at step three

The advantages of step one are very clear. Had Biden selflessly and magnanimously put his own interests aside for the betterment of the party, if not the country, by dropping out, he might have seen the kind of double-digit approval bounce Lyndon Baines Johnson got in 1968. That boost would accrue to the benefit of the new candidate, likely Kamala Harris.

Likewise, he would secure his legacy as the caretaker president who saved the nation from the evils of the Trump Family and bestowed power upon the new, young generation.

That ship has sailed now, and we are squarely on step two. But Biden has already rejected team Obama when they told him, "that’s a nice legacy you got there. It'd be a shame if something happened to it."

The threats from the editorial boards of The New York Times and Chicago Tribune, the consiglieres of the Democratic Party, have been ignored by an obstinate sitting president who for some reason, thinks he's in charge.

Now Biden seems poised to wake up with a bloody equine head in his bed, and the Democrats have no shortage of horses to choose from.

Perhaps the tape of his interview with special counsel Robert Hur will be released. If the audio wasn’t humiliating to Biden, we would have it already, so not for nothing, it can’t be good. Attorney General Merrick Garland could have a sudden change of heart. These things happen.

Then there is his prodigal son, Hunter, who hopes to beat the rap and go legit with his art career. If Joe declines to run, there is no reason he can’t pardon the family Fredo, especially after the election, win or lose.



BIDEN SUCKS.

If you're goin' through hell, keep on going.
Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

In a way I hope this happens. It will prove to America that you either do what Obama, Clinton, Soros and the Democratic elite tell you to do, or they will destroy you. You can't ask for a better example of tyranny when they show they are willing eat their own to win and hold power.

Looking at Biden climbing the stairs to Air Force 1, then trying to get into the limo, I’m thinking that Jimmy Carter, who has been in hospice all year, will outlive him.

Man, this could get stickier than the aftermath of the 2020 election. Considering it sounds like there’s a faction of democrat elites willing to compel Biden to withdraw and the clock is ticking, who has the stronger will and power? There are the paths listed in the above opinion with a threat to legacy as the final solution.

Or is it the final solution? There is section 4 of the 25th amendment. To execute that would be messier than clearing a septic line and would potentially ignite an intra-party civil war for all to see. Not to mention if it goes to compulsory removal, it takes time to follow the process and to herd the cats of congress.

Biden has enough good cards in his hand that he could weather a coup, though it would damage his party and frankly, bloody his own nose. It’s a zugzwang for the dems, but one of their own myopic making and one that as a spectator, is entertaining in a shaudenfreudian way.

I wonder, if they 25th’d Joe, would Kamala pardon Hunter? Will Sally sleep with leonard? Who shot JR?Tune in to tomorrow’s As the Turd Whirls to find out. Brought to you by Downy fabric softener….

They figured it's a toss-up. Heads, Trump wins, Tails, Biden loses.

If they run Joe Biden, they lose. If they run Kamala Harris, they lose. If they run someone else instead of Kamala, not only do the democrat ticket lose, they'll have a bloody civil war within the Democratic Party.

I’ll just throw my $0.02 in here.

If the Democrat Party bosses want Joe Biden out this bad, then it is probably to the Republicans advantage that Biden remain the nominee.

I think at this point any level headed Democratic operative (there are a few) realize that the Presidential election is all but lost and chances of regaining the House are rapidly deteriorating. The best they can hope for at this point is to hold onto the Senate.

Trumps win is almost assured at this point because state polls put him so far ahead in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Trump only needs one of those three to win. Biden needs all three or he loses.

The problem I see for Republicans is with down ballot races. A lot of the messaging is centered around Biden being unfit for office and tying Democratic candidates to Biden and his record. Brining someone new in on the top of the ticket blunts that messaging. I think this is what the Democrats hope to accomplish by dumping Joe.

Per the radio, it looks like the DNC is going with a nomination via Zoom.

I wonder why?

To give TyphoidJoe recognition as their candidate before he volunteers to step aside for health reasons?

Because they will ignite a civil war within their party if they nominate TyphoidJoe and no one else.

Do it at the convention, like planned. Allow other nominees.

Then the world will see who they truly are.

There are Constitutional requirements restricting candidates by an age minimum and native birth, but I don't think there's anything in there that prevents a rotting corpse from seeking the Presidency. Joe should be fine.
