vote corpse
The weird piles of lunacy which will most likely evaporate into noise. But. Maybe not. Everyone is going to have to vote for the corpse. The comedic element is, of course, that we now get the comparisons with Trump. It is all very asymmetrical, that. Kind of begins with a phone call to the morning show of DNC cable officialdom, MSNBC’s Morning Joe. It is like hearing Trump on Fox and Friends, compare the levels of obsequitiousness at your leisure — I guess Joe and his co-host are a tad more hard-hitting, able to quickly draw up a board relating the list of high-profiles telling him to drop out, allowing Biden to chuckle at David Axelrod. But overall, Biden parlays against the elite opinion, and insists everyone on the ground he is meeting with, huge crowds, are with him. Scarborough eggs him on, a tweet jestfully parlaying his new status as “Outsider”, though I imagine the reference on “Hollywood” with a few celebrities weighing in — is a throwback to his conservative Republican roots. And now comes the line of the day. The Democrats are saying in private what few date say in public. But everyone cowers before Trump or Biden,and you don’t want to be like all the other party was under Trump, do you?
Dribs and drabs of commentary have always come off as a tad off in this sense. The citation of every Republican loss post Trump. It skips some Republican wins — the biggest election for 2021 went Republican, Virginia Governorship. 2018 they realigned the Senate. And they did pick up the House in 2022. More to the point, where did the Democrats end up through eight years of Clinton and then eight years of Obama? Lots of party losses — they happen. Of course, current party losses are going on in the next administration and with the other party in charge.
Puzzle over the headline. Pelosi is working to expand Biden’s decision making time past that point he has indicated a decision?
I watched this Better man interview. It maybe I watched him at a show with Biden. I do not think he understands that concept of “right for the moment” in the statement about how absurd a qualification along the lines of “best president of my life, but” — not the contradiction he thinks it is. More to the point — I can’t figure out what dusty brick building he is holding forth in here.
You know, I always had the sense when Kitzhaber was re-elected Oregon governor that he immediately planned his exit. His second second inaugural speevh was very perfunctory and lifeless. The Republicans just put up someone lousy against him in this blue state — though, to be sure, he did win a stateside election later. Kamala Harris is running either way, isn’t say? I suppose the main thing on Biden is a chaos factor emerges, and you have to let everyone swinging whatever direction know — it is not as much chaos as you think, and it pales to Trump’s (who I guess has an idea of rebranding at the RNC convention, or tapping off Abortion, laugh off Project 2025, introduce us to Rubio.)
