If he “chooses” to withdraw it will be because the Party leaders met his price. I have contended he was demented for years. I think you are probably coming around on that one. I am not bleating for anyone. I find the circular firing squad of the Democratic Party riotous. I just want to hear the leaders who so love democracy explain why those 14 million votes don’t count. Who was the other choice in the primary for voters to choose from Elvado? You can't pretend as though the DNC allowed the primary race to be a truly contested event. Thank you. The party which loves democracy ran a fixed game and now they are stuck with a candidate they knew was unfit from the door. . br]br] The irony is delicious.

When has either party primaried their incumbent candidate? Also up until Trump came on the scene, Republicans spoke of their love of democracy as well but now power is their only love

To the surprise of no one . . . MAGA Makes Racist Attacks Against JD Vance's Wife Extremist figures and members of the Make America Great Again movement have criticized the wife of Ohio Senator JD Vance after former President Donald Trump named him as his running mate in the 2024 election. Usha Vance, the daughter of Indian immigrants, was raised in San Diego before meeting her husband at Yale Law School. They were married in 2014 and later blessed by a Hindu pundit in a separate ceremony, The New York Times reported. In the wake of Trump's vice presidential announcement on Monday, numerous conservative and far-right figures have taken to social media to launch racist attacks against Usha Vance because of her Indian heritage and the assumption that her influence on her husband's political career means the Republican Party will be softer on immigration. www.newsweek.com/jd-vance-wife-attacks-maga-trump-running-mate-1926194Far-right attacks target J.D. Vance’s wife Usha’s Indian heritage Extremist supporters of former president Donald Trump are lashing out online against Usha Vance, the wife of Trump’s running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), launching anti-immigrant attacks because of her Indian heritage. Usha Vance, an attorney, is the daughter of Indian immigrants and a San Diego native. In a podcast in which he attacked the Vances, Nick Fuentes, an avowed white supremacist, repeated rhetoric often associated with the racist “great replacement theory” — a line of argument popular among the right-wing, white nationalist fringe that falsely claims that there is a plan to “replace” native-born White Americans with immigrants. Fuentes — who is also known for making antisemitic remarks and who attended the deadly white nationalist rally in Charlottesville in 2017 — said he doesn’t expect “the guy who has an Indian wife” to “support White identity.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/07/18/rnc-convention-usha-vance-maga-attacks/

This should also serve as reminder that Trump invited Fuentes down to Mar-a-Lago, and a number of Congresspeople spoke at Fuentes’ conferences. He’s not just some random guy on the internet.

But, I thought they said they weren't racists. It's almost like they're entirely full of crap and completely transparent all at the same time.

Come on, Elvado, this is ridiculous, and you know it. On the one hand, you've been claiming for weeks that Biden is demented, if not in so many words. Please feel free to correct me if that's not your position. And Biden has made it clear that he's not going to be forced out by anyone, so that if he chooses to withdraw, it will be because he considers that to be for the good of the country. But now you're bleating about the poor Biden delegates? This is disingenuous at best, and you can't have it both ways. Give it a rest. If he “chooses” to withdraw it will be because the Party leaders met his price. I have contended he was demented for years. I think you are probably coming around on that one. I am not bleating for anyone. I find the circular firing squad of the Democratic Party riotous. I just want to hear the leaders who so love democracy explain why those 14 million votes don’t count. No, I do not think Biden is demented, and I have never indicated as much. I do think he is showing signs of age-related diminishment. I'm not a doctor, but to my mind, that does not make him demented. Demented Rudy is demented. I'm not sure what you mean by his price. I think this simply comes down to whether he can be convinced that he is not the Democratic candidate most likely to beat Trump. And oh, by the way, I think Trump is also showing signs of age-related diminishment, just not to the same extent as Biden yet. He's still a full bore pathological liar.

I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but I can't help but wonder if the attacks on Usha Vance aren't part of the plan. Now Trump can say look, I'm no crony of Nick Fuentes and his ilk, he's a bad guy.

The media has to stop falling for the “Trump has changed” narrative that has been repeatedly pushed for the last eight years. In all the days leading up to his speech, there were countless articles about a reflective, more compassionate Trump. By one calculation that lasted 26 minutes before he went right back to his lying, vitriol, and divisiveness. The main stream media is absolutely failing this country, but, ironically, for the exact opposite reasons “fake news”-screaming Republican zombies seem to think.

By one calculation that lasted 26 minutes before he went right back to his lying, vitriol, and divisiveness. The main stream media is absolutely failing this country, but, ironically, for the exact opposite reasons “fake news”-screaming Republican zombies seem to think. A tale of two Trump speeches: powerful and perplexing The first 15 minutes of Trump’s speech were powerful, as he recounted Saturday’s assassination attempt. The rest of the more than 90-minute-long speech was thoroughly confusing. It meandered between points, often going off-script with ad-libs that left a standard-issue Trump campaign speech without the kind of coherent, lofty theme that defines traditional presidential convention fare. And Trump’s initially subdued manner and calls for unity didn’t match the content of an often-divisive speech. -- WaPo National Review Online @jimgeraghty : As Trump reverts to factory settings, ditches the prepared text, and goes off on riffs about the chances of the Green Bay Packers, the best news for Republicans is that a lot of folks on the East Coast have already gone to bed.
