'As morally bankrupt as the Republican Party': Major donor slams Dems over Biden stancehttps://t.co/ohcVYf1UAR
— Raw Story (@RawStory) July 3, 2024
Polls so far haven't reflected the sense of panic conveyed by many Democrats, but donor support will be a leading indicator of whether Biden can weather the storm – much to the chagrin of the president's team and even some donors themselves.
“To suggest that the donor community could do that is scary,” said lawyer Craig Kaplan, a Democratic donor in New York. “Money plays too much of a role in politics already.”A) It has to go to Kamala.
1) Because the money held by Biden-Harris is about $240 million. “Money plays too big a role in politics already” is a lovely platitude, but moneyless platitudes don’t win elections. That $240 million cannot be transferred to a Candidate To Be Named Later.
2) You can’t walk away from that much money. Not if you’re in your right mind.
B) Biden can’t pick Kamala. The convention has to.
1) This is not a TeeVee show. There are rules, not the whims of a scriptwriter. This ain’t an episode of “The West Wing.”
2) A brokered convention can do whatever the fuck it wants. Hell will only follow after.
C) The best way to ensure Trump wins is for Biden to step away.
1) There is absolutely no grassroots support for this. You want to make voters stay home, like they did in ‘16? Telling them their primary votes and small dollar donations don’t mean shit, is the way to do it.
D) This will all be over by the 18th. If it isn’t, I’m fucking moving to Australia. Maybe from there I can persuade the Kiwis to take me. 🤔
