Things go file away: 1) It is nearly impossible for Rutabaga to resign as the NOMINEE but remain PRESIDENT. If he is too senile for one---in the public mind---he is too senile for the other. 2) If VP Harris became Acting President upon a Rutabaga resignation, she does NOT . . .
2) contd . . . Constitutionally have to name a veep for the remainder of the term. John Tyler didn't in 1841 and left the vice presidency empty for three years. Mike Johnson would be next in the line of succession.
3) This would be the best fire insurance ever for Harris.
4) Even if all that happens, and she actually appoints someone, both the senate and the house must approve. Doubtful the house will approve Witless Protection or Newsome or ANYONE who would benefit a D presidential ticket.
5) If Rutabaga stayed president, but they . . .
5) contd . . . removed him from the TICKET, it would be a disaster: Harris would be saddled with all the bad crap of his policies and not have any of his (few) advantages, namely his MUCH superior polling in WI, MI, PA. She would not help with the black vote as she is NOT . . .
5) contd . . . considered by American blacks as truly "black." This isn't just her: it's a view that afflicted West Indian blacks for a century. They aren't viewed as part of the "struggle."
6) Biden is already in the low 70s/high 60s with blacks. Harris would drop that 10 point
7) They, by their own declared timetable of a "virtual" convention by July 27, now only have 23 days to do anything.
8) There is, to quote the Allman Bros., "No way out."

1) Zero (Obama) just RE-endorsed Rutabaga. Oops. Doesn't sound like he's goin' anywhere.
2) Why? Of all the DemoKKKrat fecalmonkeys, Zero seems grounded in electoral reality. He knows that replacing Rutabaga with Harris would result in a 400 EV loss for the DemoKKKrats.
3) The down-ticket collapse under Kampuchea Harris would be a thing to behold. She loses, according to Baris's polls, every single Rust Belt state and it won't be close. This would make PA, OH, and WI senate races close.
4) Sometimes you need to understand, like the Soviets did, that your enemy is at a Stalingrad and that they ain't so sharp, and the NOTHING they can do will save them. Surrender the whole army, or die.
1) Good points. @TrentTelenko mentioned Thomas Eagleton's veep resignation in 1972.
2) First, he left in September, BEFORE the absentee ballots went out.
3) Second, neither party relied on the early votes like they do today, but even if they had E left in time.
@TrentTelenko 4) However, McGovern/DemoKKKrats didn't have the looming issue of Ohio's ballot on Aug. 7 to contend with.
5) TT suggests there would be challenges to state laws.
@TrentTelenko 6) Time is on our side either way. The less time they have, even if successful, in getting some of these laws challenged the less time to cheat on the early ballots. They have shot themselves in the foot.
AP: "Biden appeared to lose his train of thought" (That train done left the station years ago)
2) PsychoDrudge: "Cruel Jill Clings to Power."
Yahoo: The Senior Sk . K must step up
3) Yet they continue to lie:
"for all the good he’s done in office, is struggling to make his case to the American people and does indeed come across as a struggling elderly man"
HE HASN'T DONE ANY GOOD. HE HAS DESTROYED A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY.
4) This is the "Carville Fallacy," that Rutabaga just doesn't have the right messagING when he actually doesn't have the right MESSAGE or policies. Good. Let them continue to blunder.
5) DRUDGE also continues to lie or at least miss the fact that there are NOT "130 days to go."
1) If I'm coaching Pres. Trump for the debate, the strat is threefold, simple, and deadly effective.
2) Since they are counting on "triggering him" with "convicted felon," he must not debate or challenge that.
3) Rather turn it: "THIS 'convicted felon' (air quotes) will immediately close the border, begin deporting illegal invaders, stop the crushing inflation that is destroying the lifestyle of middle class Americans, rebuild the economy Biden crushed, & negotiate peace in Ukraine."
4) Every time they use the phrase, merely repeat it as an entrance into the POLICIES President Trump will enact. Believe me, people will remember those and not care about the former.
5) Point #2: at a strategic point, maybe half way through, introduce your Veep.
1) The latest hair-brained scheme/rumor going around is that Rutabaga will replace Kampuchea Harris with . . . wait for it . . . CANKLES. Then "they" will remove Rutabaga and Cankles de facto becomes the candidate.
2) Break it down!
3) Let's begin with the obvious. The HOUSE must vote to accept a replacement. Johnson wouldn't do this, and he might also be smart enough to drag this on past the convention and Oct. 7 when the ballots go out---at which time ANY vote for "Biden/Harris" would be disqualified.
4) Then there is the even more obvious. Rutabaga, believe it or not, is actually MORE popular than the demonic haglet Cankles. Plus she is a loser. She's already been fired once.
1) We had just started a kind of "open mike" set at the Troubadour in LA. I for the life of me cannot recall how we got all our stuff set up---that alone was an hour job at least.
2) Anyway, we started playing---only original songs. We had 2-3 that were excellent.
3) One, written by our singer Doug, called "Mississippi Funk," was a real toe tapper, and our "hit" was "Didn't Want to Have to Say Goodbye to You." Anyway . . .
4) We barely got into the first song when the Who---or half, anyway---Pete Townsend and John Entwhistle . . .
4) contd . . . came in and sat down at an open table to our right. It had to be "their" table cuz the club was full. The crowd was into it.
