    Interesting argument.  Would she have taken it?

    I bet she would; she's every bit as ambitious/ craven as Vance is. She would have been a far more palatable option, too, since her foreign policy views are reality-based, at least.
    Let’s be honest if she was picked she would be slandered here by the lefty liberals just like any other candidate. That’s what you do here.

    End of the day it doesn’t matter. The 10-20 posters here are voting for an empty chair over Trump. It’s people like me who have voted mostly Democrat in their life that needs a centrist candidate to be better than Trump. That isn’t Kamala. That’s what is going to decide the swing states and ultimately the election.
    I don't believe that for a second. Sorry.

    I may not be up on my news so I’ll check but the Obama’s didn’t endorse her have they?  To be continued…

    this is why reading is fundamental.  He waits - which he did with Biden as well.  Totally forgot.

    I expected that we would have heard from Biden yesterday. Today?
    I think I read he would speak later in the week.
    He still has “Covid”. He doesn’t speak until Pelosi gives the OK

    He should resign. Tell the Dems to F off! Gave 50 years of his life to serving the country and got thrown out with the weekend leftovers. All over a couple polls that said he couldn’t win. Won a primary and over 80+ million (most ever) voted for him in 2020.

    Now he’s a 6 month Lame Duck.

    Do you think Biden should step down completely and have Harris sworn in as President?

    Not sure how that would affect Vice President Harris' ability to be re-elected...
    I think he should resign. Obviously he’s not up to the job. He was the best name out there to beat Trump in 2020. He was the best name to beat Trump in 2024. The debate performance caused the panic.

    How can he do his job? Now he’s embarrassed. He’s no hero, he was strong armed out. Everyone is laughing at him. Wouldn’t Kamala look better to voters if she assumed role of President for 3.5 months?

    I don't think embarrassment has anything to do with it

    This may come as a shock to some people, but Biden strikes me as a life-long civil servant who is willing to put aside ego to do what's right for the country

    Everyone is not laughing at him, I'm certainly not.  Biden's got more honor and integrity in his left pinky than the whole tRump family combined. 
    Apparently Pelosi gave Biden 3 weeks to do things the easy way or she was prepared to remove Biden the hard way. 3 weeks was up yesterday. He chose the easy way. (Guessing Hunter Biden’s court cases played a big role)

    Biden didn’t think Kamala was qualified to be President. But he was forced to drop out and endorse Kamala. 
    takes a big man to admit when he's wrong

    Biden continues to impress more everyday

    looking forward to Hunter's pardon after VP Harris is elected

    There are a small, vilified handful of Republicans that have stayed true to recognizing Trump for what he is. Haley, like most of them, always comes back to King Donny. I am sure she'd have taken it.

    I'm not clear what the Biden decision would make the Trump camp wish they'd picked her instead of Vance though.

    Good question. I'd guess: she's more physically appealing/ attractive than Vance is (that matters to T---p!); she's more qualified than Vance; having a woman on the ticket would allow them to point to their own party diversity/ pay lip service to understanding the needs of women. Again, I'm just guessing here.
    With Harris as the supposed running mate, I was kind of expecting Trump to pick a woman...and at that point, I thought looks would come into play which (while I find it generally gross to objectify this way but it applies to him), is why I never thought for a second it would be Stafinik and figured on Haley, Tulski, or Noem.* I think Vance was more of the "party" pick than the Trump pick, though. I truly believe he was picked because he thought Pence should have found a way to certify for Trump and that he will not certify 2028 for a Democrat regardless of how the votes go.

    Now Harris ran the country when they said it was Obama?  Which is it?  The republicans are complete and total fools and liars.  They’re so wound up now and scrambling, scared, and giving us the most amusement yet.  I find this to be some of the funniest stuff the country has ever seen!  I can’t wait till the big baby loses to a woman.  

    The Dems/media hid and covered up Biden for 3.5 years and were willing to do that for 4 more years until he shit the bed in the debate. Then formed a coup led by Pelosi and the Hollywood elite to strong arm him out as nominee. Going against the will of 15 million primary voters and democracy.

    What a noble party!
    There you go, using coup again like it applies in this situation. 
    A coup can be an uprising or behind the scenes act.  I'll allow it.
    So the Constitution validates coup attempts via the 25th Amendment? 
    Are you trying to be witty?  Has Kamala become president and I missed it? That is what the 25th amendment is.  Making the VP the P no?
    The 25th is even a higher level intervention where a handful of people can remove a standing president. By the loose definition the reactionary right is using, it would also be a “coup”
    But it wasn't a coup.  They blatantly said it out in the open that Biden should step down, lol.
    I know it’s not a coup, that’s what I’m saying. It seemed like you were suggesting it was earlier.

    It was between Rubio and Vance. Yeah Jr. wanted Vance but apparently the law that VP and President can’t reside in the same state played a big factor as well.

    I mean, it would make sense.  You are thinking your candidate is going to win.  If you are he sitting VP...sets you up really nicely for 2028.  She would have been dumb to not take it....and Trump was an idiot for not picking her...par for the course.

    Believe it.  I never have and never would vote for Trump.  I have voted for just 1 Republican presidential candidate in my life.  I WASN'T voting for Biden, I will grudgingly vote for Harris.  But not excited about it.  And none of the liberals I know are excited about it, or the direction of the Dem party recently.  To be fair, none of the Cons I know are excited by the republican party in recent years either.  I suppose I am lucky to be surrounded by a lot of normal people, rather than people brainwashed by the far left and right.

    Biden didn’t think Kamala was qualified to be President. But he was forced to drop out and endorse Kamala. 

    at 81 yrs old, didnt think her qualified to be president YET kept her on the ticket?
    It was more of he didn’t think Kamala could beat Trump as well. She was put on the ticket because of her gender and race in 2020. 
    That's about the most crass way you could characterize her being on the ticket with an old white dude, but sure let's go with your generalization. I guess it's the same reason Obama chose Biden and Trump chose Pence. The VP is someone meant to balance the ticket. Same way Harris will most likely pick a white male because there are still too many in the country afraid of a woman in power, especially one of color.

    Your comments on here the last few days are just a glimpse in to the sexist, racist and misogynistic views that permeate the MAGA movement. So unfortunately, intelligent, witty and highly qualified candidates like Harris still have to push through these barriers everyday, unlike that unqualified ignoramus Trump.
    So qualified and unpopular that she dropped out before the first primary in 2020? I guess her on the job training working with Joe Biden for 3.5 years has made up for her failure in 2020 though.

    And as “Border Czar” did such a great job she didn’t need to go to the border and supervise the largest number of illegal immigrants coming in in our history. But tell us how great she is?
    did she call the speaker of the house and tell him to prevent the comprehensive immigration bill from coming to the floor?

    no. that was trump. he wanted the immigration issue to run on. you might want to look at who you are blaming the border "crisis" on.

    I expected that we would have heard from Biden yesterday. Today?
    I think I read he would speak later in the week.
    He still has “Covid”. He doesn’t speak until Pelosi gives the OK

    He should resign. Tell the Dems to F off! Gave 50 years of his life to serving the country and got thrown out with the weekend leftovers. All over a couple polls that said he couldn’t win. Won a primary and over 80+ million (most ever) voted for him in 2020.

    Now he’s a 6 month Lame Duck.

    Do you think Biden should step down completely and have Harris sworn in as President?

    Not sure how that would affect Vice President Harris' ability to be re-elected...
    I think he should resign. Obviously he’s not up to the job. He was the best name out there to beat Trump in 2020. He was the best name to beat Trump in 2024. The debate performance caused the panic.

    How can he do his job? Now he’s embarrassed. He’s no hero, he was strong armed out. Everyone is laughing at him. Wouldn’t Kamala look better to voters if she assumed role of President for 3.5 months?

    I don't think embarrassment has anything to do with it

    This may come as a shock to some people, but Biden strikes me as a life-long civil servant who is willing to put aside ego to do what's right for the country

    Is it possible that it had nothing to do with your accusations but rather a personal or medical issue arose?  That’s possible, correct?  Her record makes her more than qualified for the position.  Did she make mistakes?  Only one person I believe in never made any mistakes.

    You can bet that tRump's camp is wishing they had that Vance pick back. I bet they would go with Haley right now given the circumstances.


    Interesting argument.  Would she have taken it?

    I bet she would; she's every bit as ambitious/ craven as Vance is. She would have been a far more palatable option, too, since her foreign policy views are reality-based, at least.
    Let’s be honest if she was picked she would be slandered here by the lefty liberals just like any other candidate. That’s what you do here.

    End of the day it doesn’t matter. The 10-20 posters here are voting for an empty chair over Trump. It’s people like me who have voted mostly Democrat in their life that needs a centrist candidate to be better than Trump. That isn’t Kamala. That’s what is going to decide the swing states and ultimately the election.
    I don't believe that for a second. Sorry.
    Believe it.  I never have and never would vote for Trump.  I have voted for just 1 Republican presidential candidate in my life.  I WASN'T voting for Biden, I will grudgingly vote for Harris.  But not excited about it.  And none of the liberals I know are excited about it, or the direction of the Dem party recently.  To be fair, none of the Cons I know are excited by the republican party in recent years either.  I suppose I am lucky to be surrounded by a lot of normal people, rather than people brainwashed by the far left and right. 
    Fair,  but you're replying to discussion with someone else.  That person believes Pelosi is blackmailing a federal judge to increase Huntet's sentence.  And that Harris "slept her way" to the top.  People who believe this nonsense are voting for Trump.
