Glenn, you can't go on like this and complain about theatre. =)
And btw, the presidency is serious enough to play hardball, especially these days.
At the end of the day, I am with John: I'll take this.
60-ish days ago, Biden embarrasses himself--along with the Democratic Party--in a debate against Trump. Not because Trump got the best of him, but because age has gotten the best of Joe.
About two weeks later, a sicko by the name of Thomas Matthew Crooks almost assassinates Trump. But for a matter of inches, the Republicans would have been forced to "foist" someone on us, too.
No one could have scripted this better if you're a Democrat. The GOP had the wind at their backs. The most iconic imagery imaginable: Blood running down Trump's face. Fist in the air. The American flag in the back against a blue sky. (Btw, how nutty does a guy have to be to pose for a photograph immediately after being shot and almost killed?)
Within a couple weeks, Trump picks JD Vance. (Talk about doubling-down on the base.)
The Republicans were strutting at their convention. Full cruise control.
Then just like that, the possible-but-not-probable goes down: Only three days after the GOP convention, Biden drops out of the race. The albatross has been removed.
Two days after that, his VP clinches enough delegates to become the Democratic nominee. And she EXPLODES! NOBODY saw that coming.
It proved how thirsty America was for an alternative. Trump was almost KILLED six weeks ago--like for REAL--and it's like it didn't even happen. Joe's octogenarian frailties were PAINFUL to watch. No longer an issue.
Now, Trump's the old man who rambles and talks about Hannibal Lecter. And of course, predictably, TRUMP and Co. have resorted to race-baiting. But not Kamala. She almost never talks about her race or ethnicity.
And of course, clowns like Megyn Kelly and Jesse Watters have resorted to sl*t-shaming. These are desperate moves by classless people. I expect nothing better. No informed person could.
As a proud NeverTrumper, this sh*t is hilarious, but I don't dare laugh too loud. This is probably a close race. One side will be super-ecstatic in November, and the other will be DEVASTATED.
One other message to John: The DNC absolutely targeted people who wouldn't naturally vote for them.
The last night of the DNC damn near threw progressives under the bus. Adam Kinzinger got a lot of time at peak prime time. If you look at Kamala's acceptance speech transcript, "Democrats" is uttered only once while "America" comes up at least 30 times. Her full-throated defense of Israel was definitely not a bone to the protestors outside.
PS - RFK Jr is an unabashed advocate for reparations. If I were part of the Harris campaign, I would remind Trump supporters about that everyday LOL
