It really didn't work for Biden, tho. He ran 4 years later, and would have faced no real chance against Hillary in 2016 anyway. He only had a shot in 2020 because the rest of the field was generally ridiculous, Pete notwithstanding.

I think a key distinction is whether they are anointed, or whether they happen to emerge on top after a competitive process.

Kyrsten Sinema retiring at end of term. I do appreciate her not guaranteeing that Arizona flips a senate seat to the Republicans by running as an independent as previously planned. Ruben Gallego now has a chance.

What would be the point? He would obviously lose. But he has demonstrated he is susceptible to being bought, so maybe a couple of gold bars in a jacket from an anonymous GOP donor could help him set up a Republican victory.

This is pretty interesting. Kinda portends what a lot of ppl have been saying about an emerging third party with sane republicans increasingly splitting from MAGA republicans

Time will tell if they just vote with democrats more, pull more democrats to the center or split off with right-leaning democrats for an explicit 3rd party

Quote :
"What happened: The four Democrats on the House Rules Committee voted with five of the panel's establishment Republicans to advance the package of four bills to votes on the House floor.

The crossover was needed after three right-wing hardliners on the panel — Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) and Chip Roy (R-Texas) — voted against sending it to the floor.
The right-wing rebellion was enough to kill the package if Democrats did not step in."

Gotta give the Dems negative credibility at this point for failing to read the room on grandpa Joe's age and having literally no one waiting in the wings. It was obvious 4 years ago that the country as a whole wasn't buying the far left loons' positions, yet the Dems have done nothing to move to the middle, despite being forced to pick a centrist candidate. We are now highly likely looking at a Trump takeover of the country because they couldn't see that the country didn't want their left wing lunacy.
We are so fucked

Have to give it to the democrat leaders who pulled this all off so cleanly so far. Most people thought it was impossible, every political science theory says it should be a death knell, but it’s going well

Would be interesting to know what all went on behind the scenes to make it happen. When did Joe know, who did he tell, and who coordinated all the moving pieces with Kamala’s team

And then the handoff of social media accounts, the instant posting of a coherent message, roping in a few key influencers… amazing.

I happened to flip to PBS's coverage on Monday, and they were interviewing Pelosi, and she was talking about how sneaky they were in gaining senate seats, and she literally said that the democrats are "reptilian" and "cold-blooded". And in searching for an article about it, I'm seeing it's not the first time she's said that. Odd adjective choice.

DNC rigs 2020 election and has Biden pretend to take a dive at a debate with Trump as a litmus test with less than 6 months before the election 2024, despite that fact that 4 years prior Kamala took a sweetheart deal to drop out of the 2020 race to be Biden's understudy, fully aware that this is the job she's been training for her entire wishy-washy career?
