Lotta crying going on over in Trumpville…..
Ole Joe Biden is out…..
The age and health thing is gone….
Donald Trump the felon and sex predator., is running against a mixed/Black woman, 59 years old that used to put guys like him in jail….
The Democrats seem to stop fighting each other…..
The media is sure embrace the new sheriff in town….
Donald Trump’s handlers wanted him to slide to the middle and calm down?
NOPE….
‘The Donald’ IS who he IS…..
Kamala Harris is sure to be discipled and on point….
Trump & Co. will go into the gutter for sure…..
But THAT maybe counterproductive ….
And THAT IS probably why some GOPer’s are NOT happy and others are worried…..
Tim Alberta: “Biden’s departure from the presidential race this afternoon—hours after his top surrogates had insisted that he would carry on—is the culmination of a remarkable pressure campaign, launched after his calamitous June 27 debate performance and aimed at pushing the president into retirement. On the Republican side, it caps a frenetic four-month stretch in which Trump’s campaign went from cocky about Biden’s deficiencies to fearful of his ouster to stunned at the sudden letter from Biden doing the thing Republicans thought he’d never do.”
“Republicans I spoke with today, some of them still hungover from celebrating what felt to many like a victory-night celebration in Milwaukee, registered shock at the news of Biden’s departure. Party officials had left town believing the race was all but over. Now they were confronting the reality of reimagining a campaign—one that had been optimized, in every way, to defeat Biden—against a new and unknown challenger…”
“For months, in talking with Wiles and LaCivita, I was struck by their concern about the potential of a dramatic switch—Democratic leaders pushing out Biden in favor of a younger nominee. They told me that Trump’s campaign was readying contingency plans and studying the weaknesses of would-be alternatives, beginning with Vice President Kamala Harris. By the time of the debate, however, they believed that Democrats’ window had all but closed.”

Trump Freaks Out Over Biden Leaving Race
“Joe Biden’s exit from the 2024 campaign and the rise of Vice President Kamala Harris as the leading contender for the Democratic ticket has provoked a nuclear-level meltdown from the right — especially from Donald Trump,” Rolling Stone reports.
“In a series of Truth Social posts, Trump also complained that he had been unfairly forced to spend money campaigning against Biden, and even suggested that ‘the Republican Party be reimbursed for fraud’ now that he wouldn’t be running against the president.”
“Trump even hinted that he may back out of the scheduled presidential debate in September, unless major changes are made in his favor.”
“Trump’s musings became more unhinged as the night went on. In another post, he suggested that Biden was faking a recent Covid-19 diagnosis. The rant extended into the early hours of Monday morning, when Trump accused Democrats of having stolen the nomination from Biden.”

Scott P says
Reports are the GOP is rethinking the choice of JD Vance as VP.
Hey as long as you’re there rethink the top of your ticket too
Keith says
I agree Scott, all the talk was about Joe dropping out, but the Republicans are running a felon and rapist for President.
Yesterday was a good day for Kamala, we raised over 100 million in small donations and our fundraising committee added hundreds of new members on our afternoon call. The enthusiasm is through the roof..

Politicalwire has a 7/17/2024 post with a poll pointing to 57% of Americans wanting Biden AND Trump to withdraw……
Majority of Americans Want Trump to Withdraw
A new AP-NORC poll shows 57% of Americans want Trump to drop out of the race: 51% of Independents, 86% of Democrats, and 26% of Republicans.
The survey also showed that just 21% of Americans believe Trump is honest.
jamesb says
Trump is still running against Biden in his head…..
Scott P says
In a move that should be shocking to no one, the Trump campaign plans to “Willie Horton” Kamala Harris. Referring to the racist dog whistles used by the GOP in 1988.
We’ll see if something that worked (though was likely unneeded) will have the same effect 36 years later.
jamesb says
Harris IS doing a Rally in Wisconsin Right Now….

Democratic Socialist Dave says
They should be very careful of trying a Willie Horton (someone released from prison only to commit an even more horrendous crime).
A minor (and perhaps weak) Democratic counterargument is that Donald Trump was screaming for the execution of the completely-innocent Central Park Five, one of whom now serves on the New York City Council. Trump still insists they were guilty, even though others were tried and convicted of this crime.
A more serious response would be to investigate the consequences of the “First Steps” criminal-justice reform that Trump, partly under the influence of Kanye West, signed into law. (This was one of two good achievements of Donald Trump, both of which he now disowns; the other of course being Operation Warp Speed to create the Covid-19 virus vaccine which has now saved millions of lives)
Criminal-justice reform, which was praised by at least one GOP convention speaker, included the downgrading of lower-level drug possession convictions. At least one of those so released must have then committed some horrific crime that a dishonest Democratic publicist could convert into another Willie Horton.
Most Democrats also supported this bill, which overturned many of the increased penalties imposed by the 1994 crime control act supported by Ted Kennedy, Orrin Hatch and Joe Biden.
