Make Way for Candidate Kamala
The Democrats may be lauding Biden and praising Harris, but it’s all for show.
To hear the Democrats tell it, they’ve got those Trumpy Republicans right where they want ‘em.
First came the news yesterday that our mega-vaxxed, COVID-stricken president had finally thrown in the towel against Le Bête Orange, Donald Trump, having succumbed to a three-headed monster of mental and physical frailty, atrocious polling numbers, and an ever-growing chorus of panicky party leaders and media fellow-travelers.
This was cause for celebration among Democrats — not only of the decision, but also of the Dear Leader himself. Here’s how the LA Times spun it: “President Biden was heralded as a selfless hero by top Democrats on Sunday after stepping down from the 2024 race against former President Trump amid concerns about his age and capacity to run the nation.”
Thus, having an anonymous staffer send out a one-pager via social media rather than addressing the nation in person from the Oval Office is the stuff of heroes.
Among those with the longest of long knives out for Joe Biden was former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who subsequently called Biden “one of the most consequential presidents in American history.” In this assessment, we wholeheartedly concur, because “consequential” isn’t necessarily a complement. Indeed, we believe Joe Biden will go down in history as our nation’s worst president and therefore one of its most consequential, having done almost as much damage to the country in three and a half years as Barack Obama did in eight.
Interestingly, but not surprisingly, Biden didn’t explain to the American people why he’d decided not to run. As former Bush Press Secretary Ari Fleischer asked: “Was it his health? His decline? The polls? If it was the first two, he should resign the presidency. If it’s the third, there is nothing courageous about this. It’s craven politics as usual.”
Au contraire, says Nancy Pelosi. “God blessed America with Joe Biden’s greatness and goodness,” she added, no doubt in reference to her fellow Catholic’s pro-abortion zealotry. Perhaps this laudatory treatment was part of the president’s separation package.
Let’s be clear, though: Joe Biden hasn’t done his party any favors. The Democrat brand — such as it is — is in the toilet, and he left his party with the ultimate stinker when he endorsed Kamala Harris on his way out the door.
“My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year.”
The Clintons apparently agree, having also weighed in to endorse Harris. But the Obamas, strangely, have not, even though Harris and the former president spoke on the phone yesterday.
The Democrats might be putting on a brave face for Candidate Kamala, but let’s remember that she’s the only politician in America less popular than her boss. And remember: As Joe Biden’s border czar, she co-owns the most catastrophic policy failure of the Biden administration. In addition, she was also part of the cover-up that has attempted to hide Joe Biden’s cognitively addled state from the American people. Indeed, she was vouching for his fitness for office over the weekend during a $2 million fundraiser in Massachusetts.
We wonder: Do Democrat donors simply like being lied to?
Or perhaps the Democrats simply understand the fiscal realities here. As the Washington Examiner’s Paul Bedard reports, “Harris, the second half of the now broken Biden-Harris 2024 ticket, must become the presidential nominee, or the millions of dollars their campaign has raised for the general election will have to be refunded, according to federal election rules.”
In his announcement yesterday, Joe Biden said that our nation “has never been better positioned to lead than we are today.” At first, I scoffed. But then I got to thinking: If Joe Biden’s presidency has consigned his party to an electoral wipeout on November 5, to include Donald Trump’s return to the Oval Office, then, yes, I think he’ll have left us far better positioned to lead than we are today.
