Trump would have done much better picking a moderate female republican to be VP. Vance does nothing to attract independent voters and females in swing states. Now that he isn't running against a zombie I am afraid he may lose this election, not that I'm a Trump fan but I don't want 4 more years of democrat policies.

Despite a desire to run for a third term, Wilson stood down and stepped aside in 1920.

Crap Sid. Wilson didn't run in the primaries and win them overwhelmingly. Wilson's name wasn't placed in nomination by his party at the convention even after 43 ballots. Wilson would have accepted the nomination but his party of Democrats didn't want him. Wilson also refused to endorse any of the candidates in nomination at that convention.

But that doesn't fit your non sequitur narrative to make the insider coup of Democrats that has disenfranchised primary voters and overthrown Biden appear to be nothing more than a Wilson-like decision of a senior statesman.

We no longer live in a time when elections are won by getting the most votes. We now live in a time where elections are won by counting the most votes. If you believe otherwise, you're falling for a major head fake.

The latest Ipos poll as reported by 538 has Harris leading +4 . It’s only going to get worst for Trump , he can’t help himself , personal attacks on Harris will make him lose more Republican women. They will stay home , which is the RNC’s worst nightmare,

The only thing missing from this Salter column is some stupid connection between Woodrow Wilson and the Neshoba County Fair.

9:40 I agree. But unlike most presidential candidates who will choose a running mate who broadens their base of support Trump's concern with any subordinate is absolute personal obedience to Trump. Vance will probably not last four years.

If a person cannot find a poll that says what they want they do not own a computer.

Vance will attract the blue collar and Union voters in droves.
Soccer Moms? It is doubtful. But grocery prices, gas prices and school madness will make Trump attractive to the Soccer Moms.

11:12 for the win. That is, if facts matter. In today's world facts are irrelevant to the narrative.

Sid, how expensive is that far left progressive kool-aid?

If Harris chooses a white male moderate she will win. Trump blew it with Vance who will add nothing to the ticket.

The Dems dumped Biden not because he was senile and no longer effective, they have moved on because he was certainly going to lose and this is an election they don't have to lose. There is a big difference.

It’s looking like Obama - McCain or Obama - Romney in 2012. The Republicans will have a lot of time to fine their next candidate . It appears to me ,we got President Harris for the next 8 years.

I wonder if the decision to step out of the presidential race in these cases has anything to do with the fact that these were three of the worst presidents this country has ever seen?

Vance has the highest negative rating ever for a vp selection, If veeps win an election she could pick a rock.

Vance has the highest negative rating ever for a vp selection ...

Link?

Sometimes I think the GOP wants to lose this election.
Abortion alone has caused so many to defect. I am not sure where I land on that issue but I do know a large portion of the voting block seems to want options.

I don't understand the long game here. If we lose to Harris and she reverses all abortion restrictions, Well, I guess I hope it was worth it to take such a polarizing stance.

Damn 11:12 - your attempt to discredit Salter's column falls flat on its face by your on narrative.

Yes, Wilson's name 'was not placed in nomination by the party at its convention' --- because??? Because the party didn't want him. Just as Biden's name will not be placed in nomination by 'the party' in 2024 because???? Because the party doesn't want him either.

You say 'Wilson would have accepted the nominaiton but the Democrats didn't want him'. TRUE. Just as true as the statement that "Biden would accept the nomination but ----- hold on here ----the Democrats don't want him either.

And your attempt to blow out the Trump line that this is "disenfranchising 14 million Democrat voters" is pure bullhockey. Nice try, but it is no more disenfranchising of voters than any other presidential primary nominating process --- the folks who voted for Nikki Haley, or Ron DeSantis, or the guy who's name nobody can pronounce much less spell --- their votes are not being recognized at the RNC convention as "THE PARTY" makes their nomination for president.

Presidential preference primary votes do nothing but indicate -- state by state, not anything controlling -- the preference of Democrat or Republican voters in that state at that time. The selection of the party's nominee is done at the convention by delegates - not by any of those 14 million folks who voted in their state's preferential primaries.

Some folks did not vote for Biden in their state's primary - were they going to be 'disenfranchised' (your word, I realize copied from the talking points) if Biden had stayed on the ticket when the party nominated him rather than who they voted for? No more than the Haley, DeSantis, or other Republican voters who's choice was not nominated in Milwaukee last week.

Same bullhockey that folks try to make a legal issue about changing the name on ballots - the states put the nominee of the party, as certified by the party, on the ballot. The fact that Biden (along with others) filed to run for the state's primary is no different than any of the other candidates who filed and were candidates in the state's primary.

If Kingfish taught it false , he wouldn’t print and you can google it.

Harris can not adjust/remove abortion restrictions. SCOTUS ruled that abortions are legal but each individual state can pass legislation to restrict it.

The GOP has no impact on abortions on a national level, only at the state level.

Yea 11:12AM Sid left out “the well-orchestrated “palace coup” from “operatives at the very highest levels of the Democratic Party.”

https://nypost.com/2024/07/22/us-news/top-dems-threatened-to-remove-biden-unless-he-resigned/

How nice it must be for the “threat to Democracy” horse s__t spewing Democrat party to just get rid of the fair and square voter selected primary winner once they realized he could not beat Trump in the general.

But now, Democrats have the perfect candidate; DEI all the way. Harris got her azz handed to her in the 2020 primaries and was selected by Biden for one reason and one reason alone, gender and skin color. Exactly was the idiot voters of the country deserve.

5:09 abortion is wrong. It's murdering a human being, and some like to use pretty little words like 'choice,' but that doesn't change what it is. And if one wants to continue the practice in order to gain or keep a political advantage, then that's just as wrong.

"If Kingfish taught it false , he wouldn’t print and you can google it."

Okay - let's try it again, this time in English.

Now that the Supreme Court is in Republican hands, Trump is useless to many RINOs. It will be Deja vu for Trump.

I think 'the party' has the right to determine the nominee. I didn't realize Sleep-Pervy had the right to choose the nominee by some process of personal coronation. Strangely, I find myself in agreement with BLM who seems opposed to the way it came about.

Now that she is pushing herself off as African American, there's no way in hell 'the party' will mess with it by ousting her. Talk about political suicide.

And, no, Sid...zero similarity between this situation and that of LBJ in '68.

What'cha been smoking? Soccer moms love the Economic, Christian nationalism that is the movement led by Trump.

It’s funny Trump is talking about crowd size at his rallies. Harris is talking about the war in the Middle East and Urkanie, pulling people out of poverty and women’s reproductive rights. Which do you and the voters in swing states care about most?

Tell us again who is a danger to democracy.

Trump killed Soleimani, Harris bitched about it. 'Nuff said.

Where is your link Kingfish, I goggled it and couldn’t find anything to support your comment. Most policy experts condemned Trump actions at the time is what I read.

HER tweet on January 3, 2020. Of course you would support keeping him alive.

I don’t have x so I still, don’t know , all I have is your opinion, from what I read it was Trump looking for a head so he could prove he was a badass, and to be like Obama . Since he got bin Laden.

"Some folks did not vote for Biden in their state's primary - were they going to be 'disenfranchised' (your word, I realize copied from the talking points) if Biden had stayed on the ticket when the party nominated him rather than who they voted for?"

You ain't all that bright, are you? In the Democrat primaries, all that participated were allowed to vote for the candidate of their choice. They were not disenfranchised. The installment of Harris as the presumptive nominee by the elitist Democrat hierarchy without doubt disenfranchised those primary voters. Those voters did not have the option to choose, or reject, Kamala Harris. Thus, they were disenfranchised. I don't have talking points, what I have is a functioning brain.
