This didn’t even make the US broadcast. NBC skipped a lot of countries from the Parade of Nations. As a country of immigrants, you’d think they’d show them all.
Man is stuck between a rock and a hard place. He doesn’t want to make this election a referendum on abortion, because as we’ve seen in ballot measures in the past two years, he can’t win that fight. However, his base won’t accept anything but a hardline stance. Must suck to be him, couldn’t happen to a worse person.
The thing is, I don’t think you’re going to find anyone who’s willing to run as Trump’s VP that doesn’t have some sort of baggage like this. He’s looking for someone who’ll ignore valid election results as some sort of leftist scam.
Sure, just remember, if you change who’s on the ticket after the convention, you can’t really complain if the Democrats complain who’s on the ticket before theirs.
Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.
Between the do-nothing House and the hypothetically deadlocked Senate, it’d never happen. Besides, without a VP, the Speaker of the House is the next in line for the Presidency.
The one upside for the Republicans of Harris becoming POTUS right now is that she’d no longer be able to break any ties in the Senate, letting them bring both houses of Congress to a halt.
I wish he had done this last November. I voted in the Republican primary this year just because the Democratic Primary was seen as non-competitive. I would have much rather had a chance to vote for a candidate I liked rather than voting against a candidate I didn’t like.
If people were going to pressure Biden to step down, I really wish they had done it back in November or December so we could have voted on a replacement in a primary, rather than one being appointed at the convention.
Larry, his bother Daryl, and his other brother Daryl are all alive and well, though they’ve each retired in the last five years. Larry’s 80, his brothers are both in their 70’s.
He was surrounded by a lot of highly trained good guys with plenty of guns, the Secret Service, and even they couldn’t stop the bad guy, only respond to him.
(I’m paraphrasing from the second season premiere of The West Wing, but the writers were dead on 24 years ago.)
I want the man rejected by the country and defeated at the ballot box, not turned into a martyr that’ll inspire another generation of MTGs, Boberts, and DeSantises.
