Ranking Democrats are closer than ever to executing a successful coup on the sitting President of the United States. Multiple independent reports from Axios to CNN to The Washington Post all point to Biden slowly accepting the gravity of his and his party’s electoral position in the fallout from his debate in Atlanta.
As Biden’s defiance has subsided, he has rightly been asking advisors if Kamala Harris has what it takes to beat Trump in November. The internal polling that Democrats have leaked to pressure Biden out suggests one resounding answer: No.
While the election is far from over, there is no good answer for Democrats. If they stick with Kamala, every bit of public and private polling says the odds are substantially stacked against her. If they ditch Kamala, in addition to angering the black votes that saved Biden, they lose access to the large sum of money raised by the Biden-Harris campaign. Democrats have a problem and Joe Biden is only the beginning.
While this is a problem solely of their making, one has to wonder if Kamala really wants to be the sacrificial lamb, so to speak, and forever doom her chances on occupying the Oval. They’d be using her just like they’ve used Joe-and see how that’s working out.
Further, ousting Biden will create lots of hard feelings, only to be exacerbated by the essential platitudes and honors that will be accorded him on his way out…whenever that might be.
They keep missing the most important factor which is not the election per se but rather the good the country. Are these two the best they have to offer the country? Are they so worried about down ballot races that, in the meantime, the welfare of country is lost in the shuffle?
There are real national security, military and foreign issues confronting the Nation. The Dems continue to give them short shrift…to country’s great peril and their own.
It couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of Socialists.
