The least popular VP in history, polled at 1% in 2020, didn't carry a a single primary state got overwhelming support with the flip of a switch. Wild times.

Harris is LITERALLY the weakest democrat candidate they could put up - and still is going to beat Trump (again!)
we warned all the people for more than a year this exact scenario would occur.
Yesterday marks 3 years since the disastrous Afghanistan pullout.

Absolutely the worst day of the Harris/Biden Administration aside from Inauguration Day.
We lost 13 brave men and women that day due to inept leadership.

Every now and then, politicians allow the truth to seep into their carefully crafted talking points. That's exactly what happened when Nancy Pelosi went on the record to confirm that Kamala Harris was not the Democrats' original choice to be their presidential nominee in 2024 when Joe Biden was ousted in an orchestrated coup back in July.
This is what Pelosi told Ezra Klein of The New York Times, as it appears in the interview transcript:Quote:
Yeah, well, I think here's the thing. The thought was that if this were to happen, but it happened fast, we ... none of us had any idea he would do it that Sunday. Well, I didn't have any idea. Most people didn't. So when he did that and endorsed [Kamala Harris], then the thought was everybody wanted an open process. Let's see the talent, let's see the bench of the Democrats and let them come. And see what they can attract. But when he endorsed her, then it was, "Are you with me or not?" And she moved quickly.
LINKQuote:
This was a bombshell confession. On the one hand, we all know that Pelosi had been conspiring with Chuck Schumer and Barack Obama to get rid of Joe Biden on the ticket after recognizing the polling damage that his obvious senility and terrible performance as president had caused. On the other hand, she admits to being blindsided by the timing of Biden's withdrawal and also admits to have been blindsided by his simultaneous endorsement of Kamala Harris, suggesting that "everybody wanted an open process" to identify the party's candidate.
...everybody, that is, except Joe Biden. Biden's endorsement of Harris effectively bound the DNC's hands, as the exhilarating prospect of having an ethnically diverse female president quickly spread through the party ranks and social media on that Sunday afternoon. There was simply no time to consider the entirely practical idea to initiate an open and democratic process to identify the Democrats' best and most electable candidate.
Quote:
REPOTRTER: You unveiled your economic policies last week.. Can you explain how you're going to pay for those, and can you give us a sense of what other policies you want to unveil?
KAMALA HARRIS: Sure, well I mean, you just look at it in terms of what we are talking about, for example, around children and the Child Tax Credit and extending the EITCV (Earned Income Tax Credit). That is at $6,000, for the first year of a child's life, the return on that investment, in terms of what that will do and what it will pay for, will be tremendous. We've seen it when we did it in the first year of our administration, reduced child poverty by over 50%.
So that's a lot of the work. And then what we're doing in terms of the tax credits, we know that there's a great return on investment. When we increase home ownership in America, what that means in terms of increasing the tax base, not to mention your property tax base, and what that does to fund schools. Again, return on investment.
I think it's a mistake for any person who talks about public policy to not critically evaluate how you measure the return on investment when you were strengthening neighborhoods, strengthening communities, and in particular the economy of those communities and investing in a broad-based economy, everybody benefits and it pays for itself in that way.
REPORTER: CBS News has a new poll showing that you're three points up nationally, what's your response to this? Do you still consider yourself the underdog here?
KAMALA HARRIS: I very much consider us the underdog. We have a lot of work to do to earn the vote of the American people, that's why we're on this bus tour today. And we're gonna be traveling this country, as we've been, and talking with folks, listening to folks, and hopefully earning their votes over the next 79 days.

A vote for Donald Trump in the GOP primary is a vote for Kamala Harris for President.
The hard-core Trump supporters are not nearly enough to carry the general election. They were insufficient last election before all of the more recent Trump "issues" and will do no better this time around. And there is no way that Joe Biden physically and (especially) mentally makes it another 4 years.
The extreme left wing faction of the Democrat Party created the Trump presidency when they denigrated and vilified the "bitter clingers" and the other "common" people in the South and in flyover country, forcing them to rally around someone perceived as carrying their banner. The Democrats created their own worst nightmare. Now, the extreme right wing faction of the GOP seems bent on doing the very same thing - creating their own nightmare scenario by setting the stage for a Harris presidency. If Trump gets the nomination, Harris will end up at president.
It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion but being unable to do anything to stop it....

unless I'm mistaken, those weren't the nominated presidential candidates this past summer. Trying to compare this past summer republican debates where he had a 40% isnt anywhere close to the same - I was talking about the two candidates that one of which will be president in Nov.
