as will you and all the rest of the Oldsters in Ithaca. Team Senior Citizen isn't taking this slight lying down.
Remember all of those supposed inroads the GOP was making with minority voters? Keep calling Kamala Harris a "DEI hire" and see how that works out for you.
I am matching your energy. You guys are literally acting like you just hit a grand slam. Harris is a complete joke. Even a rat knows when to jump off a sinking ship. You were literally telling us Biden was the best candidate until they told you to think otherwise. Out of everyone on this forum, you easily rank in the top 5 people who lack the ability to think for yourself. At least DaDakota knows he is the side show.
I wasn't thrilled with Harris's performance during the Kavanaugh hearings. She wasn't awful by any means, she just wasn't particularly effective at exposing Kavanaugh for the liar he was. And as VP I don't think Biden gave her a role where she could really shine. But she's qualified and we could do much, much worse in Trump. Whitmer seemed to have the biggest upside and would've been my first choice to replace Biden. (Kelly's a great guy and senator for AZ, but I'm not sure he can rally the troops or move the needle in the Midwest. And I know nothing about the MD governor.) Shapiro from PA also seems very, very impressive to me and would be my first choice for VP right now. As for the GOP, the hate and fear mongering seems to resonate with small donors so I wouldn't expect them to change much. Agree 1000% about Manchin.
right. Talking about people posting "useless ****" yet he's spamming political donation numbers as if that matters. this ain't 2007. he gets his talking points from the DNC and adjusts based on what they say. super obvious
You keep saying "RFK Jr supporter" like it is some diss. He is the closest the nation has to JFK and RFK Sr, so apparently you thought those two men were trash too. it's clear you don't think for yourself in regards to politics posting the most basic stuff all the time.
How Will Democrats Replace Biden at the Top of the Presidential Ticket? The president cleared the way for a successor. He endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, but there could still be a contest to determine who the nominee will be. Looks like the NYT doesn't want Kamala that much. Not mentioned until the 6th paragraph lol. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/21/us/politics/biden-replace-harris.html
Pro-Nikki Haley Group Throws Its Weight Behind Kamala Harris https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...S&cvid=e17e70b328f04980a98885ef779b47ec&ei=50 "A small political action committee that styles itself as a disaffected group of Nikki Haley supporters who are committed to keeping Donald Trump out of the White House announced their endorsement of Kamala Harris for president on Sunday. The group, Haley Voters for Harris, had been known as Haley Voters for Biden until roughly an hour after the president announced that he had decided not to seek re-election, throwing his weight behind Harris in the process. “We support @JoeBiden’s recommendation and will immediately change the name of our organization to Haley Voters for Harris,” the group said. “There is no time to lose.” Craig Snyder, the group's director, told Newsweek in an email that Harris is a “tough former prosecutor” and the best candidate “to defeat Donald Trump in November.” Haley, meanwhile, offered her “strong endorsement” to Trump in a prime-time address at the Republican National Convention earlier this week."

GOP threatened to sue over November ballot if Biden dropped out. Experts call that 'ridiculous' https://www.yahoo.com/news/gop-threatened-sue-over-november-180655729.html "Even before President Joe Biden’s long-speculated withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race, allies of former leaving the page." data-wf-tooltip-position="bottom" data-wf-reset-every="90" style="position: relative;">President Donald Trump floated the possibility of suing to block Democrats from having anyone other than Biden on the ballot in November. But election administration and legal experts said the timing of Biden’s exit on Sunday makes it unlikely that any Republican ballot access challenges will succeed, with some calling the idea “ridiculous” and “frivolous.” Democrats are on safe legal ground as they identify a new standard-bearer, they say, because the party hasn't officially chosen its nominee. That typically occurs with a vote of delegates at the party's convention. “It’s ridiculous for people to talk about ‘replacing Biden.’ He hasn’t been nominated yet,” said Richard Winger, a leading expert on state ballot access laws and the longtime editor of the “Ballot Access News” newsletter. Talk of possible Republican legal challenges has been swirling since Democrats began discussing — privately and publicly — whether Biden should drop out of the race. In June, a conservative Washington-based think tank laid out what it described as “the contentious path ahead” if Biden did not seek reelection. “There is the potential for pre-election litigation in some states that would make the process difficult and perhaps unsuccessful,” said Mike Howell, executive director of the Heritage Foundation’s “Oversight Project” in a public memo. Howell identified three battleground states — Georgia, Nevada and Wisconsin — as possible places where pre-election litigation could be filed to try to block a presidential candidate from withdrawing. Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson also raised the specter of legal challenges on Sunday morning, hours before Biden's announcement. “I think they have got legal hurdles in some of these states, and it’ll be litigated, I would expect, on the ground there, and they will have to sort through all that. They have got a real problem,” Johnson, R-La., said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” But several experts disagree. Trey Grayson, Kentucky’s former two-term Republican Secretary of State, said there are no grounds to challenge the Democratic Party from picking a post-Biden nominee. “It’s a pretty frivolous claim,” said Grayson, who also served as president of the National Association of Secretaries of State and chair of the Republican Secretaries of State Association. “The filing deadlines haven’t passed yet, and the Democrats haven’t nominated anybody yet.” Delegates from every state, territory and the District of Columbia select their parties’ presidential and vice presidential nominees using a process outlined in national party rules. Even though Biden won enough delegates as of March 12 to unofficially clinch the nomination — making him the presumptive nominee — because he ended his campaign before delegates voted, the task of selecting the party’s candidate for the November election still falls to convention delegates."

Nikki Haley’s Old Warning Haunts Trump as Biden Bows Out https://www.yahoo.com/news/nikki-haley-old-warning-haunts-151740517.html The 2024 presidential race has seen both parties’ nominees bedeviled by concerns about their age and fitness. But after Biden’s decision to step aside on Sunday, Democrats have shed such concerns—and the words of Nikki Haley, who railed against gerontocracy during her campaign for the Republican nomination, have come back to haunt Donald Trump. Haley was an early observer of the public’s dissatisfaction with both candidates’ ages, going so far as to predict that fortune would favor the party that first dropped their elderly candidate. After losing the New Hampshire primary in January, Haley took a shot at both presumptive nominees, prophesying that “the first party to retire its 80-year-old candidate is going to be the party that wins this election.” While the 81-year-old Biden has certainly faced the brunt of age concerns recently, a July ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll found that 58 percent of Americans saw both Biden and Trump as “too old for a second term.” With Biden out of the race, Haley’s warning is being widely shared by Democrats celebrating the party’s newfound advantage against Trump, who is now the oldest nominee in U.S. history. Of course, one wonders whether Haley, who has since “strongly endorsed” Trump, maintains her prediction. As to its prescience, we’ll have to wait until the election draws nearer to see. T_Man
