Woulda Coulda Shoulda

There it is. Trump is already trying to back out of a debate with Kamala Harris.

He’s running scared. pic.twitter.com/259fgBeFcL

As I absorbed the news and accepted Kamala would (likely) be the candidate (that’s up to the delegates), I started imagining the debate with Trump. And I considered what Trump would do, such as declare the agreement with Biden null and void now.

And so he did.

Now, will he debate? My guess is: no. Like he can’t be seen in public with Project 2025, he can’t afford to be seen in a debate with Harris.

Begun, the whinging has.

Joe Scarborough says that "the most telling thing about how positive this may be for the Democratic Party is the Republican response," noting that folks like Newt Gingrich and Mike Johnson are complaining that this is a "violation of democracy." pic.twitter.com/vjDNZL6cXN

I know how the Trump campaign is going to go after Harris. I’ve seen it. And the MAGA Neanderthals will love it and the voters that matter will hate it. It will backfire on them. Bigly.

This is all they’ve got?

This is MAGA. This is also the next 4 months. This is who they are. pic.twitter.com/8mWeDH8VvI

"Why’s everybody always pickin’ on me?”

He’s a clown.

Manchin re-registering as a Democrat to run for president right now is the stupidest thing ever. How much air time is going to be spent on something that absolutely nobody except the northeastern media cares about?

Will anyone notice the difference?

Hopefully when the American people decide to end the long national nightmare of Trump’s foray into politics this November they will also decide that they want a House that works for them and actually accomplishes substantive things. pic.twitter.com/i12wzj0Hl9

It’s not up to Congress. It’s up to the VP and "a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide."

The 25th provides no role for Congress unless the President declares himself (in writing, to Congress) fit for office (having been suspended per above), and the same group that suspended him objects (in writing) that he is not. Congress then settles the dispute; but not before.

Mace’s proposed resolution is a null set. Investigations into why Biden withdrew from the race are better grounded (but no more sensible). And since there would be no legislative purpose to such an inquiry…(you can’t pass a law to force people to run for office).

And what the RNC is doing to campaign against Harris:

She was addressing a table of the blind, you morons. https://t.co/gI7yRgVDPy
