Moses Mikey led the charge to keep the 81-year-old Democratic incumbent president on the ballot, saying that “it’s unlawful,” for Joe Biden to step aside at this point. Yeah? Could you cite us a code number? Statute? Case law? Parking ticket number, maybe? Give Mikey a moment, he’s digging in the glovebox. Thought so. Mike Johnson can’t cite to a source which compels Joe Biden to remain on the 2024 ticket because there is none. On ABC, Johnson said: “It would be wrong, and I think unlawful, in accordance to some of these states’ rules, for a handful of people to go in a back room and switch it out because they don’t like the candidate any longer. That’s not how this is supposed to work.” “This” that Johnson refers to is delegates choosing a candidate at the convention. That’s exactly how it’s supposed to work.

HuffPost pointed out that Johnson failed to cite a legal doctrine to back this allegation up. But that’s not the point. The point is that the GOP is scared spitless over the advent of a young, sharp candidate with fire in the belly and a united Democratic party behind her. I quoted Abraham Lincoln yesterday and will continue to do so. “Public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment, anything is possible. Without it, nothing can succeed.” And perception is everything. Joe Biden gave the perception of having become enfeebled. That was the GOP’s high card, entire hand and complete deck. Without Senile Old Joe to play off of, they’ve got nothing. They know it and they are drop dead miserable this Monday morning in July.

No more rematch, Donald. No more debate against Biden. What is funny about the June 27 debate is that Trump also did terribly but that was expected, so the publicity all went to Joe Biden’s disappointing performance. All that is gone, now.

Trump is in the lull before the storm. The Democratic convention will go forward, Harris will start to build her momentum and he’s got to endeavor to come up with new talking points and a new game plan. So far that plan is not going well. Take a look.

The last tweet is Trump’s fervent prayer. He’s terrified to run against Kamala. He was terrified to run against Joe Biden in 2020 and with good reason. Yes, Joe fell off a step or two, but nowhere to the vegetative level that he was depicted to have fallen to. That was all that Trump had, was a Biden faux pas here and there, so that Trump could mount his nasty insult comic fest against the man.

All that is gone now. Trump has to get an entire campaign together, an entire new act, just a few days after he put the entire Republican party to sleep with his 93-minute reset speech that was no reset speech, but the same old Trump.

Trump’s got nothing new to bring to the table. And he’s scared shitless right now. This is going to be massively entertaining to watch, as MAGA and the reality TV actor recede into the sunset and a new age dawns in American democracy.

  1. It could prove to be interesting – a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist versus a very competent prosecuting attorney.

    What is the betting on Don the Con coming up with excuses as to just why he can’t take part in a public debate?

    • He will do everything he can to avoid the debate — or to get it on Fox News, and I don’t know if that’s negotiable. The way for Kamala to handle this is to bait him and depict him as a coward if he tries to avoid her. That way his ego will demand that he participate — even if he’s scared to.

    • Exactly. He will do everything under the sun to create escape routes. He cannot be on the same stage with Harris without looking like the demented old fart he actually is.

  2. NY AG Letitia James and Fulton County DA Fani Willis must be laughing their asses if right now! I’m excited at the possibilities she has before her for a running mate. Choose wisely grasshopper, choose wisely.

    • Letitia in particular is screaming with laughter. She spent a lot more time working up her case than a lot of prosecutors who were after Trump. She who laughs last, laughs best.

  3. Trump, standing in his glass house, throwing stones at Biden, is becoming dimly aware that those same stones are now heading his way.

  4. She can’t be the I’ll take the high road candidate . With this group you have to fight dirty. Call him what he is a rapist a convicted felon. Tell him I’ve put many a criminal like you in jail. She has to be forceful and dirty. If she takes the high road he will destroy her. Tell him things like there are a million less people watching this who all died because of the terrible way you handled the pandemic. Be tough be forceful be aggressive I for one would love to see that.

  5. MAGA will.hate her. MAGA aka the GOP.are white, rural,poorly educated, racist and misogynist men. MAGW,women are evangelical wives who vote the,way their preachers tell them to.

    Kamala,Harris scares the bejesus (literally) out of them. She is relatively young, well educated,,a former prosecutor and Attorney General for California. The worst thing they can come up.with are dating the then Speaker of the Califiyrnia,Assembly. She receiver some political.backing from him, which would have been just fine if she had been male. She also lived in Quebec when her mother took a post at McGill where her mother did important research in breast cancer. Apparently intelligence runs in the family,not something Boebert,,who flunked the GED, can claim.

    And she is undeniably stunning. No.wonder the Bimbobert hates her.
