It the torrent of coverage that has followed the realisation that Ol’ Joe is actually not up to the job, one small snippet has slipped through the net.
What is becoming increasingly, unpleasantly, likely is that the Democrats are going as fast as they can for a Coronation rather than let the smelly proles have a voice at Convention. Rolling everyone up as fast as possible before alternative courses of action can gain traction. So now, despite not one single vote being cast in any single primary for her, the Democrats are being lumbered with Kamella Harris.
This is exactly how oligarchy works.
Even those, previously touted as possible contenders, people who would attend an open Convention and debate it out to see who should be considered a replacement like Newcomb, Shapiro, Andy Beshear, Gov Pritzker or Pete Buttigieg are all falling over each other coming over to endorse Harris. All colluding to shut down debate.
Except one. And I feel she is playing the best politics here, Gov Gretchen Whitmer.
Whitmer has said that she will sit this one out. She will not challenge Harris saying she has more than enough on her plate this time round as Governor. Not an endorsement and not a challenge. Canny girl.
My guess is that an endorsement of Harris, by the tainted party leaders at the very doors of Convention, those same fools who got you all in this mess, will go down with the rank and file workers and activists in the party like a pint of cold puke. I hate to think how the electors will view this whole new Democrat pantomime. Anyone involved in this democratic charade will be tainted.
So when this all goes pear shaped, and either Harris simply makes a mess of it and loses to Trump, or the Democrats are back lumbered with as dud a President as they had a candidate, Whitmer alone has clean hands. As the next four years reveal (as they surely will) the collusion and deceit of keeping the depth of Biden’s mental problems from the paying public, her star will rise.
Whitmer for 2028!
