We'll see if there are lawsuits if Harris assumes control of the Presidential campaign account.

Anyone who donated to the Biden for President campaign committee would presumably have standing. I wouldn’t be surprised if some Republican lawyers donated five bucks just so they could have standing in this eventuality.

This also puts Republicans in an awkward position. Democrats have to choose a nominee before Republicans will know who to blame for the Trump shooting.

In addition to fixing the concern about Biden’s age, this also fixes another concern : Hunter Biden. As far as I know Harris has no one anywhere near her circle that has as much scandal. I assume they will invent one though. This campaign is going to get ugly. It’s already starting. Twitter is absolutely disgusting right now. Although, It was ugly from the start. Just look at the Republican nominee and all you see is ugly.

Well, I was being bad, by my own standards, today, and what do I see, first thing on all of the large screens when I walk into the casino? Of course, "Biden Withdraws from race and endorses Kamala". I will not, use the results of my visit on what I think the out come of this will be. I still yelled out a big Thank you, Joe. Got all kinds of looks, but mostly positive.

You can see who voted for 100% at least. It's kind of funny that the number has gone from 11 to 24 since the news broke.

I'm glad I changed my vote 10 days ago to 100%, not that it wasn't apparent that the public panic made it all but inevitable. Is there a way we can see a vote tally before everyone changed their votes after the fact? I noticed that the liberal parody troll/absolutefuckingmoron posted a screenshot...is there a more official way, and...what do we win?

A few things:

1. Stop with the Biden cultist bullshit. Cultists not found. Anywhere. Standing up for an Incumbent President who can demonstrate he is alert and oriented is not cult behavior. The fucking guy is 81 years old, he is not going to be a great speaker, multiply that 100 times when it's Biden.

2. If Harris or whomever becomes the nominee loses, it is not Biden's fault. Period. He did what y'all wanted him to do.

3. If Harris or whomever becomes the nominee wins, it was because Biden stepped up and stepped aside. Give credit where credit is due.

4. Harris was on the ticket and still is, she should be the nominee. Regardless, I'll be voting for whomever is at the top of the ticket because their comatose brain-dead body is better than Trump/Vance.

5. Anyone crying about how they were going to have to vote for the Strongman dicatator-wannabe, or stay home, or binge watch Storage Wars because Biden wasn't coherent and is slightly older than Trump... put up or fuck off. When y'all get Boxcar'd by Strongman Trump, you'll be one of the few who fucking deserve it.

Have to disagree with both 2 and 3.

2. Biden has to bear some blame. For crying out loud, he is 81 and would be 85 by the end of the next term. Sometimes it is just time to pass on the torch. He and his inner circle must have known that he was slipping. He could have bowed out gracefully before the primaries, and let Harris legitimately either establish herself as the nominee, or let a more electable candidate come forward.

3. I give Biden no credit for "stepping aside" now. More accurately, he was forced out. If he had stepped aside before the primaries, yes, then I would have given him some credit. (see point 2).

Trump wants a refund for the money spent campaigning against Biden.

'Have to start all over': Trump complains he was forced to 'spend time and money' on Biden

When Donald Trump heard that Joe Biden had endorsed Kamala Harris to be the next president, he first tried to change the terms of his upcoming debate. The second thing he did was to complain about having to "start all over." In a post on his own social media network, Truth Social, Trump...
www.rawstory.com www.rawstory.com

A refund from whom? Is he saying that he paid off the media but it didn’t work so he wants his money back? I guarantee he hasn’t thought that far ahead. “SOMEBODY GIVE ME MONEY” is his default reaction to everything.

His next demand will probably be that he should get to run against Hillary Clinton again.

I used to perversely enjoy the crazy posts on Twitter by the Reps and the conspiracy theorists. It finally turned into a complete ****show, and after Elon donated all that money to Trump, I cancelled my account.

Never underestimate the ego of a politician. Even if they know they have no chance of winning, they will run just for the publicity...case in point

Independent Joe Manchin considering re-registering as Democrat to challenge Harris: report

Sen. Joe Manchin (I-W. VA) is considering challenging Kamala Harris for the nomination, according to multiple news reports. President Joe Biden announced earlier on Sunday that he would "stand down" from his campaign, ultimately endorsing his vice president, Kamala Harris, as the next U.S...

If Manchin can get 300 Democratic delegates to put his name into nomination, more power to him.

Democrats Now Openly Admit They Pushed Biden to Block Bernie

There are some other things transpiring in American politics right now. But we must note that Democratic leaders are now unabashedly stating what Bernie Sanders supporters said over and over in 2020: the party pushed Joe Biden primarily to stop Bernie.

STFU with this disinformation bullshit. People voted for Biden. Yes, 4 of the 5 people with basically the same policies dropped out so as to not splint the vote, but Biden then got the majority by far. The majority of democratic primary voters did not want Bernie.
