I have no idea who finally prevailed upon Biden to drop out or what threats or inducements they dangled before him. But it is clear that the action disenfranchised voters.

The fact that the Democrats have settled on someone as preposterous as Kamala Harris as their candidate is a sign of their contempt for the American people

ike many commentators, I have described the sudden, almost magical elevation of Kamala Harris to the status of presumptive Democratic nominee for president as a “coup.” “What just happened,” I wrote on July 23, “is essentially an anti-democratic coup. Kamala Harris, who got no delegates—zero—when she ran for president in 2020 and was only chosen as Biden’s running mate because he had promised to pick a black woman, is on the cusp of being handed the Democratic nomination for president of the United States.”

How did that happen?  If you said, “It happened because of the machinations of the deep state,” go to the head of the class. Even Donald Trump has called what just happened a “coup by the Democrats.”

But Mark Steyn makes a good point when he observes that, in many ways, what just happened to Joe Biden was not a “coup” in any ordinary sense. A “coup” (from the French “strike, blow”) suggests an abrupt intervention that brings about a change at the top. The element change is a major part of what a “coup” in this sense means.

Yet what change has the Biden-Harris pas-de-deux brought about?  Until the very morning of the day he announced his withdrawal, Joe Biden and his team were insisting he was in the race till the end.  His debate performance against Trump was a disaster, true, and his poll numbers were in free fall. No matter. He was going to tough it out.

Megyn Kelly is joined by Victor Davis Hanson, author of “The Case For Trump,” to discuss the media covering for Kamala Harris as she shifts every unpopular position she previously held, the disgusting Democratic messaging and smears from the media about JD Vance and “couches,” a creepy new ad attacking GOP voters, and more. …

Frenemies to the End
So much for the myth of No-Drama Obama, whose endorsement of Kamala Harris is a win for Joe Biden and a loss for America.

The not so distant past. Obamacare architech Jonathon Gruber made it clear that Obamacare only passed due to the “stupidity’ of the American voter and a lack of “transparency”. Shortly after Gruber uttered his condescending and brutally insulting opinion of fellow Americans, it disappeared from the internet in an attempt to conceal it. Obama neither denounced Gruber’s disgusting insult nor did he fire the twit when he should have done both. Silence implies consent. Frankly given the fact that Biden and now Harris both continue to (astonishingly) enjoy double digit support from Americans appears to be proof that Gruber was spot on.

By the way, given Trudeau’s continued support (re: double digit ) Canadian voters have nothing to brag about.
