We have blogged about how both Joe Biden and Donald Trump can win next year in the election, but we haven’t spoken about the elephant in the room. The elephant is the Democrat machine. The machine knows Joe Biden is too old and is definitely in cognitive decline. Congressman Dean Phillips of Minnesota and Senator John Fetterman have both made comments about this very thing. Phillips is an obscure congressperson who announced a primary run against an incumbent, which is a big no-no in either party. Fetterman who had a stroke during his run for Senate last year has said Gavin Newsom is running a shadow campaign for president. Folk’s comments like those don’t just come out unless there are legs to them.
So how do they remove Joe from the ticket you may ask?
Easy, at the nominating convention for their party. The delegates basically can pick the nominee, and just have a majority not vote in his favor. You may remember Bernie did this last go round, taking his delegates all the way to the convention, even though he had zero chance of the nomination being his. I fully believe this is why that Phillips guy is running, just to carry a name to the nominating convention. I also do not think RFK will be on the general election ballot as an independent, I can’t put my finger on it, but I just don’t see a Kennedy not on the Democrat line.
Simply said, Joe has major health and mental health concerns, and this blog feels the Democrats are waiting for an error similar to the dreaded “blue screen of death” Windows users fear their computer contracting. For those reasons we feel Joe will not be the nominee.
Here is the bigger problem.
If not Joe, what do the Democrats do with Kamala Harris? Democrats have always thrown the black person overboard when necessary, but in this case it is different. Harris is the sitting Vice President. She and Gavin do not like one another. They will not be on the same ticket. Two folks from California is a liability not an asset for the Democrats. This is what creates the issue. Kamala was a Senator; however, she will not “path back” to the Senate. First, it’s a demotion, and second, she will look weak trying to get her old seat back. (BTW her old Senate seat currently has a primary with 3 sitting Democrat congressmen in it, making it no sure thing). Removing Harris is very risky, as throwing a black woman under the political bus will be viewed in a bad light by the black community. BLM would be outraged, and we have seen what happens when they riot. For those who say let Kamal be governor, again there is a problem. That requires Gavin winning the presidency, which is no sure thing, even against Donald Trump. Also, there is a primary forming for that position as Gavin terms out in 2026. (In heavy red and blue states there is a pecking order, and folks get very nasty when you mess up the rotation). Again, it’s no shoe-in for Kamala.
Kamala doesn’t seem like the type to go quietly into the night when she doesn’t get her way. It will get ugly.
Let’s say Joe bows out, and Gavin takes over. Who is the VP? Can’t pick a white person in that party, not to replace a black woman. Michele “my belle” Obama doesn’t seem to want the job, and I think Barack wants to just hit the speaker circuit, he seems out on politics. Al Sharpton has too much blood on his hands, so he is out. I think there are 2 logical choices, there are 2 Castro brothers from Texas, either would be safe choices, the other being Xavier Beccera. I am contradicting myself with Beccera as he is a Californian, but if you can read between the lines, you wind up throwing a bone to the Hispanic voters. Democrats love racist dog whistles and here is another chance to play the “Trump is a racist” card. Hispanic people outnumber black people about 4-1 (not counting new residents that arrived over the southern border) so any votes lost in the black community are likely more than accounted for moving forward.
It may seem like tin foil hat thinking, but it could work for the Democrats.
They needed Joe in 2020 to beat Trump. There was no way; Bernie, Mayor Booty judge, or any of those other clowns out that stage was beating Trump last go round. They knew it and rigged it. Now that Joe is a liability, looking worse and worse with each speech or appearance, he makes it high time for him to go. Need more proof? David Axelrod (Obama campaign manager) and James Carville (Clinton campaign) are both saying Joe cannot win. Regardless of your thoughts about those two, they are very savvy and smart.
Need more proof? A Fox News article recently advised Joe to “Throw his son Hunter under the bus to save his campaign.” Folks, a father throwing a family member under the bus is a bad look, even in this case.
Still not convinced? Why did Newsom vs DeSantis debate happen in Georgia? Also why was it on Fox and moderated by Sean Hannity? DeSantis looks like yesterday’s news and Gavin isn’t running so why have this? Answer…. if Gavin looks good, Joe will be taking a tumble down the stairs, either on his own or someone will be pushing him.
For the Democrats the stakes are too high.
