It truly is incredible the DNC went this way. I lost some betting money, but I do not regret it whatsoever, if anything it just made buying up Trump even cheaper.

But seriously, maybe the DNC really did opt for the Joejan Horse method from the start. I was, as is typically with politics, naive to see what they were thinking. At the start with the primaries, Joe didn't seem that bad. But the more camera time he was given in the following months it became more and more obvious how bad things were all along.

It really makes me wonder what it would have been like if they had just gone with Hillary again - or another classic establishment name, none of these new contenders (Pete, Tulsi, Booker, Harris), hell Mike Obama would've made more sense from a "hope and change" campaign angle.

Even Bootyjudge....he was the most Obamaesque, purposely modeled his speeches from him.

They are saving him for later.

They’ve clearly spent a lot of time coaching him. He will reappear, I guarantee it.

Not sure how the DNC will deal with the fact that their Black Plantation voters, obedient as they may politically be, won't actually vote for a gay man. He also looks like a child grown up with a enlargement ray. Lord knows what he did to achieve his political "success" thus far, but he's just not big-league material.

He's the mayor of a small city in Indiana. The Left now thinks that just because a non-politician won the presidency, they can run a dogcatcher and he can be just as good. Forget that Trump ran a multibillion dollar international business empire, he didn't build that, he got a loan from his daddy!

I have noticed that the people on the left just out of nowhere started talking about him a lot this week.

Is it too late for democrats to change their nominee? If not, might not be out of the question they are trying to force Pete back into the show rapidly to avoid time that people can see scrutiny. If it is too late, Biden could step down right away and Harris gets to pick her VP, would she pick Pete?

Whatever it may be, even if it is nothing, the narrative slowly shifting towards "Pete good" seemingly out of nowhere is curious. But I think what we are actually seeing is similar to what Republicans saw with Trump, that Trump overtook the republican party and made it his. We are seeing the radical left take over the democrats.

I guess that's their problem. They flip flop everything. But with the election, it's concrete. There's no going back. No re-do's. All they can think of now, is going back in time, and picking a different nominee.

But the train has left the station....

So sounds like Biden step down, Kamala president and Pete VP

Most states won't allow a new nominee three weeks before Election Day in a national race. The only excuse would be if Biden dropped dead, and then Kamala could pick someone else to be her veep.

Faux news has been having him on as some sort of gay DNC visionary.

I would award the Best Obama Impersonation to Robert Francis Beta O'Dork. Watched him in the debates for Texas senate against Lion Cruz. It was so obvious and pathetic. You could tell he watched countless hours of tape. It failed spectacularly on the national stage.

I lost $20 betting against him getting the nomination. Still can't believe it

The establishment really didn't want Sanders even though he could have energized the base enough to have a chance. The rest of the field was such a mess, Biden looked like the least objectionable choice. They just didn't know how bad his dementia already was and thought he could hold it together well past the election.

If the left didn't have big money and literally the entire media propping them up, they would've collapsed long before now just because their strategy is so bad. I still pray for that to happen.

Who knew that the party of bad judgement would make a bad judgement?

Sanders never had a chance. The old people, you know, the generation who actually vote, would have voted Trump 10-1.

I don't know. I think there's truth in that, but I also think Sanders could have energized the youth vote in a way no one else ever has. And although older voters skew conservative a little bit, I don't think it's as much as you think.

A lot of older people are from a generation that was raised to trust the news, and they believe all the media lies without applying critical thought. I know some of them.

That I thought was rather obvious - unlike all the other primary candidates, EVEN despite his obvious dementia, he has WAY more experience in government, much more establishment control and connections, and more name recognition to boot. Perhaps the Dems at first didn't realize what an uphill battle his deteriorating condition would be.

Kamala is where I lost money, I should've clarified up above, I honestly thought the Biden ticket would've been saved by a very solid and appealing pick to the middle - clearly not, in the end it was a Joejan Horse decision OR just a compromise to the new Marxist Democrats that took over the DNC since 2016 (Ohmar, AOC, etc).

I would have if I could have gotten goddamned Predictit to let me set up an account.

I've suckered a leftard into saying he'll bet against me with crypto -- we'll see if he follows through, he hasn't yet.

The only reason Joe is the nominee is to provide cover and protection for the previous administration’s crimes. Joe is implicated, along with the rest. He has to be the nom.

Exactly my sentiments, they figure running for office is also a shield for any criticism as it's 'not fair' to bring it up or something. They're trying to preserve the brand.

The trouble is he's the best they've got. They're all so flawed. Either corrupt, senile, or radical leftist.

The most reasonable candidate they have is Tulsi, and even she is very far left. She probably gives the Democrats a better shot to win, but she has a principled antiwar stance, and the Democratic leadership can't stand that. If you aren't willing to have random foreigners killed to solve domestic political troubles, today's Democratic Party has no place for you.

I think they wanted Harris. She didn't get traction though an Tusli ruined her. They pushed Biden for name recognition and to get Sanders out of the race. They then had Biden select her as VP knowing she'd really end up being president and they still get their wish of having her installed as president if they manage to win.
