Ever since Joe Biden dropped out of the race, prominent Republicans have been relentlessly calling for him to resign. They argue that if Biden is unfit to run, he is also unfit to serve. It is hard to argue with that. But getting Biden to resign would essentially be the equivalent of throwing Brer Rabbit into the briar patch. Elevating Kamala Harris to the presidency is not going to help Republicans win in November. In fact, it would almost certainly help Harris and the Democrats.
Let me try to explain.
First of all, history has shown us that “incumbent presidents” always receive a noticeable boost compared to other candidates.
Right now, Kamala Harris is not an “incumbent president”, but if she is elevated to the presidency she will be.
Secondly, if Kamala Harris even serves for a couple of months in the White House, it will give her an opportunity to show the American people that she can do the job.
As long as she doesn’t mess up too badly, that could calm the fears that many have about her ability to fill the role.
Thirdly, the moment that she is sworn in she will become “the first woman president”, and that will be greatly celebrated by the mainstream media and will generate a tremendous wave of enthusiasm for her campaign.
So even if many Republicans were not calling for Joe Biden to step down, I think that this is what the Democrats were planning anyway.
Ultimately, I think that elevating her to the presidency is simply the next logical step in their grand plan to get Kamala Harris into the White House.
Of course they are going to need a good excuse, and Joe Biden’s failing health is perfect.
As I discussed yesterday, it appears that Joe Biden had a very alarming health episode during his visit to Las Vegas last week.
KSNV reported that a hospital in Las Vegas was put on alert due to “a possible medical issue with President Joe Biden”…
A Las Vegas hospital was on standby after being alerted about a possible medical issue with President Joe Biden Wednesday afternoon while he was visiting Southern Nevada.
Law enforcement and medical teams gathered outside the University Medical Center trauma room entrance on Wellness Way in case the President of the United States arrived after he canceled an appearance at the Unidos US Convention in Las Vegas due to testing positive for COVID-19. Unidos US President and CEO Janet Murguía made the announcement to attendees who were waiting to hear the president speak.
President Biden did not seek medical treatment at the hospital but instead went to the airport and departed Las Vegas on Air Force One to self-isolate at his home in Delaware.
Initially we were not told what that medical issue was, but now there are rumors that Biden was displaying “stroke-like symptoms”…
Reporters at RedState have also followed up the leads, and claimed that law enforcement has told them something did indeed happen, and that Biden was displaying ‘stroke-like symptoms’.
Ultimately, Biden must have quickly shown improvement because he went to the airport instead of the hospital.
But his physical condition is certainly deteriorating really fast.
I don’t see how he can possibly continue to serve in the Oval Office for six more months.
For the Democrats, it would make much more sense for Kamala Harris to replace him before the election in November rather than afterwards.
So expect to see a move in that direction sooner rather than later.
Meanwhile, Kamala Harris has grabbed all of Joe Biden’s campaign cash, and in response the Trump campaign has filed a complaint with the FEC…
The Trump campaign filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) on Tuesday, accusing Vice President Harris’s campaign of improperly taking over President Biden’s campaign funds when he left the race Monday.
The complaint, reported by The New York Times, came after the Biden campaign account changed its name to “Harris for President” on Monday following the president’s announcement that he would not seek reelection.
“Kamala Harris is seeking to perpetrate a $91.5 million dollar heist of Joe Biden’s leftover campaign cash — a brazen money grab that would constitute the single largest excessive contribution and biggest violation in the history of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended,” Trump campaign counsel David Warrington wrote.
If you choose to run for a federal office, you must file a Statement of Candidacy with the FEC.
There are no exceptions.
Kamala Harris has not done this.
Instead, she has just replaced Joe Biden’s name with her own name…
The complaint argues that if “Kamala Harris were a candidate for something in 2024, federal law requires her to have filed a Statement of Candidacy and for her name to have appeared in the name of her authorized committee. But Kamala Harris’s name does not appear in the name of her purported authorized committee, ‘Biden for President,’ and, until Sunday, no Statement of Candidacy existed for her. Then Sunday, rather than filing her own Statement of Candidacy, she merely altered Joe Biden’s to replace his name with hers. There is no mechanism under the Act for one individual to end another’s federal candidacy by simply amending the other’s Form 2. Moreover, in that purported amended Form 2 Harris designated ‘Biden for President’ as her principal campaign committee and then renamed it. Altering a document submitted to a federal agency is a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1519.3.”
There is another allegation that is even more alarming.
It is being alleged that millions of dollars from wealthy donors are being chopped up into hundreds of thousands of small donations “made in the name of people who have no clue they’ve donated”…
Democrat donation platform ActBlue has been accused of a engaging in a “MASSIVE money laundering operation,” by which contributions from large donors are being funneled through hundreds of thousands of small donations made in the name of people who have no clue they’ve donated.
If these allegations are true, we are talking about fraud on a historic scale.
James O’Keefe says that he has proof that more than 200 million dollars has been “laundered” by the Democrats…
James O’Keefe Exposed Democrat’s MASSIVE Money Laundering Operation
Contributions were made through ActBlue & Citizens all across the US
Over $200 Million Laundered
It’s called “Smurfing”: The activity of laundering money by conducting a large number of small transactions through banks and individuals
One Person “contributed ” $217,000 through 12,000 different contributions in a 3 year period, in variations of his name & address.
Thousands of transactions laundering hundreds of millions of dollars
Even though the FEC has been alerted, everyone pretty much agrees that it is going to take years for them to do anything…
It’s unlikely that the commission would take any action until well after Election Day, given its slow pace of resolving enforcement questions.
“I don’t think most campaign finance lawyers believe that this is a best reading of the law,” Rick Hasen, an election law expert at UCLA’s law school, told CNN on Tuesday of the Trump campaign’s argument. But, he added, “that doesn’t mean it can’t get tied up in FEC proceedings for years.”
By the time the FEC finally resolves the questions that are now being raised, the election will have been over for a very long time.
In the end, someone might get slapped with a fine.
This is yet another example that demonstrates that our system has become a complete and utter joke.
We live in a nation that is in a very advanced stage of decay, and our politicians are some of the biggest lawbreakers of all.
Now that lawlessness is reigning from the very top of our society to the very bottom, how much time do we have left before it fully collapses?
