True. 

Just saw this -Because Biden exited the race before officially becoming the nominee - the more than 3,900 pledged delegates get to cast their ballots in an open convention for whichever candidate they want.

If a candidate wins the majority of pledged delegates on the first ballot, they become the party nominee. 

If no candidate gets a majority, then the so-called nearly 740 superdelegates, also known as automatic delegates, get to vote as well. They include a mix of party members and elected officials. 

Voting continues until a candidate gets a majority of delegates.

Its going to be a mess I imagine. I dont think they will all get behind Kamala.

The Dems problem seems to be that the campaign money raised for Biden/Harris, cannot be used except for Biden and/or Harris. So unless Harris is on the ticket, they will have to start fund raising from scratch. I doubt Trump and his team would overlook any misuse of the existing campaign funds, after his trial in New York on similar charges.

Biden was a bit like a pope. But a communist one.😅

‘The tragedy of Trump’s candidacy is that, embedded in his furious exhortations against Muslims and Mexicans and trade deals gone awry is a message that America’s white poor don’t need: that everything wrong in your life is someone else’s fault.”

JD Vance,  in 2016 🤣

He is seemingly endorsing Kamala not sure if that is just protocol ?  - Whoever gets the nomination they want the most articulate, feisty brave soul to call out the Orange Felon Rapist now 

they will fall in line behind Harris

the big choice is who she picks for her VP

will likely be one of the following more than likely

 

Gretchen Whitmer (MI Govenor)

Josh Shapiro (PA Govenor)

Andy Beshear (KY Govenor)

JB Pritzker (IL Govenor)

Roy Cooper (NC Govenor)

Pete Buttigieg (US Transportation Secretary)

Mark Kelly (AZ US Senator, astronaut, combat vet)

Wes Moore (MD Govenor)

Gavin Newsom (CA Govenor, but is from same state as Harris, so he would miss out on CA's massive pile of 54 EVs (as if the POTUS and VPOTUS are from same state, the Electors from that State can only vote for one), so would not be VP unless Harris/Newsom wins by 324 or more (EVs) as if 324 or more Newsom, will have enough to win outright (270 or more) even without CA's 54 EVs

Raphael Warnock  (GA US Senator)

William McRaven, (ex 4 star general, war hero, led the killing of bin Laden, centrist)

If a commie shits in the woods, and the tree they are sitting on whilst shitting falls on a bear, does the Pope hear it?

The irony here is that who's the senile old (and fat) guy running for office now? 😆

Hi,

Thank you for sharing this information.

It's Kamala.
The others don't want to get wasted as they believe Trump cannot lose.

She raised 47 million just the past few hours. She's probably the favorite now.

I should have explain that joke.

It was a blend of multiple metaphors:

1. "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"

2. 'Does the Pope shit in the woods?' (A combination of the two rhetorical questions... 'Is the Pope Catholic?' and 'Does a bear shit in the woods?)

3. I added in 'commie' due to the post I was replying to's use of TC's favourite Cosmic meme (commies commies everywhere!!)

There are three things I have n't seen in my life said a wise man:

- a commie without money
- a fat woman without a boyfriend
- a gypsy wearing glasses - myopic glasses, sunglasses everybody wears.
