Democrats go mean girl on one another

by Don Surber

Happy Veterans Day. In our honor, the government suspends mail call for one day. Such decisions explain why Kamala got 90% of the vote in DC.

Explanations of why Trump got a majority of the votes elsewhere are not as forthcoming, at least to Democrats. After all, in their eyes, he is a bungling, convicted felon, Hitler, raping puppet of Putin who downs 12 cans of Diet Coke a day. How could they possibly lose to the likes of him?

So they are blaming Joe Biden, the only person in the universe to beat him.

The New York Post reported:

President-elect Trump was on track to win 400 electoral votes in a head-to-head race against President Biden, according to the White House’s own internal polls.

The news was revealed by Jon Favreau, a one-time speechwriter for former President Obama who now hosts the liberal Pod Save America podcast.

“Then we find out when the Biden campaign becomes the Harris campaign, that the Biden campaign’s own internal polling at the time when they were telling us he was the strongest candidate, showed that Donald Trump was going to win 400 electoral votes,” Favreau said.

400 electoral votes! That means he would have had to take 40 states plus one of the following jurisdiction that Real Clear Politics listed as Solid Harris:

• California (54)
• Connecticut (7)
• Delaware (3)
• District Of Columbia (3)
• Hawaii (4)
• Maryland (10)
• Massachusetts (11)
• New York (28)
• Rhode Island (4)
• Vermont (3)
• Washington (12)

I am not saying it is ludicrous. I am saying it is ludicrous to say Trump would take 37 states plus Illinois, Colorado and Oregon to get to 399. Trump carried 31 states, the most for a president since Dubya did it 20 years ago. That was worth 312 electoral votes.

It is fun watching Democrats go mean girl on one another.

The Washington Examiner reported,

“Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and Donna Brazile were caught in an animated conversation as the crowd waited on Wednesday at Howard University for Vice President Kamala Harris to give her concession speech.

“Pelosi, dressed in a red pantsuit, was seen pointing and waving her hands around as she had an intense conversation with Brazile while Bowser stood listening to the lively exchange. Brazile was also seen using her hands as she spoke to Pelosi.”

I particularly like the thumping of Biden, who was a pretty nasty piece of work throughout his crooked and conniving career. Never forget FJB’s mistreatment of Clarence Thomas.

Obama sent Pelosi to finally force Biden to step aside to make Miss No Personality the nominee. She chose Testosterone-Free Timmy as her running mate. Brazile was in on it too. They all were.

It turns out kicking to the curb a man who was 10-0 in general elections was not a great strategy.

Politico reported, “Dems rage against Biden’s ‘arrogance’ after Harris loss.”

Democrats are directing their rage over losing the presidential race at Joe Biden, who they blame for setting up Kamala Harris for failure by not dropping out sooner.

They say his advancing age, questions over his mental acuity and deep unpopularity put Democrats at a sharp disadvantage. They are livid that they were forced to embrace a candidate who voters had made clear they did not want — and then stayed in the race long after it was clear he couldn’t win.

“He shouldn’t have run,” said Jim Manley, a top aide to former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. “This is no time to pull punches or be concerned about anyone’s feelings. He and his staff have done an enormous amount of damage to this country.”

According to interviews with nearly a dozen officials and party operatives, Biden squandered valuable months only to end in disaster on the debate stage. And by the time he decided to pass the torch, he had saddled Harris with too many challenges and far too little time to build a winning case for herself.

Puh-leez.

It took her 3 months to lose by 86 Electoral College votes. Give her a full year to run and he would get 400 electoral votes. Every time she opened her mouth, Trump got another 100 votes.

One reason Biden hung on for so long was the media ran interference for him, labeling video of his Senior Moments as cheap fakes.

On June 18, Politico blamed the Putin of the American press — Vladimir Murdoch — for making Biden look bad.

A few weeks ago, as the White House press shop worked to blunt the impact of a Wall Street Journal story suggesting President Joe Biden was “slipping,” some aides pointed the finger squarely at Rupert Murdoch, arguing that the media tycoon with well known conservative leanings was getting his empire into partisan form ahead of the election.

That accusation turned out to be the opening salvo in what is now a very public war.

Since that WSJ story dropped, Murdoch’s other media properties (most notably the New York Post) have caricatured the 81-year-old Biden as a senile, lost old man. The focus of their stories is hardly new. Biden’s diminished physical stature exists in plain sight and age and stamina have been a genre of White House reporting with several predecessors. Everyone around the president sees, among other things, that his gait has slowed and that he speaks more softly than before.

But the New York Post stories have relied on selectively edited or decontextualized videos. And that’s led Biden’s team to take uncommonly public shots against the outlet.

(In John Kerry voice) Actually, Politico was FOR Biden before it voted against him.

The problem for Politico and the rest of the DC press is they rely too much on Democrat talking points. Reporters were not prepared to handle two competing narratives over whether Biden was mentally fit. The White House got its spin out first by dismissing evidence of unfitness as cheap fakes.

The misnamed PolitiFact loyally declared on June 21,

“President Joe Biden sitting in an ‘invisible’ chair in France. Biden wandering off from an event in Italy. Biden freezing on stage at a Los Angeles fundraiser. These misleading claims and others, based on videos that are deceptively edited or taken out of context, have flooded voters’ social media platforms in the last two weeks.

“These videos, called cheap fakes, have become a common tactic to undermine Biden’s fitness for office as the 81-year-old seeks re-election. Former President Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, is 78.”

But Obama already was rolling to replace the Old Fogey with Countess Cackula.

Well, maybe not her. Someone else. ABC reported:

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in portions of a New York Times podcast interview published Friday, blamed Vice President Kamala Harris’ election loss on President Joe Biden’s late exit from the presidential race and the lack of Democratic primary.

Pelosi told Lulu Garcia-Navarro, a host of The Interview, that “had the president [Biden] gotten out sooner, there may have been other candidates in the race,” the paper said in a story about the Thursday interview.

Democrats have only Obama and his puppet masters to blame. Had Democrats had open primaries in 2020, they would have had someone other than Biden as their candidate, Kamala would safely be behind a desk in the Senate. Instead, with Bernie, the Gay Guy and Pocahontas leading, Obama got them paid off to install FJB as the nominee. He chose her as his running mate.

After they stole the election in the wee hours of the morning in 2020, they were stuck with Biden in 2024 because the last two times an incumbent president did not seek re-election, his party lost. Don’t let them fool you. They wanted her in and Joe out.
