This has already been a weird election cycle, and no, I'm not talking about anything JD Vance said about cat ladies. It's the Democrats that are behaving strangely, even for them - and given that they have been maintaining a Weekend at Bernie's presidency for almost four years, keeping befuddled old Joe Biden in place, insisting he was "sharp as a tack" and "on his game" until they couldn't hide the fact any longer that His Dessicatedness has lost it. So now they have anointed Joe's life insurance policy, Kamala Harris, Queen of the Word Salad. And as RedState informed you, she has picked

It's the Left's bet that Trump will self-destruct and place the most progressive "blue state" ticket ever at the head of the Executive Branch of the United States.

America needs Trump’s Wall not Harris Walz.
This is not a done deal. The convention/ party bosses can easily dump Walz next week. The question then is what would Harris do?
Hillary is always in the wings and don’t put anything past Shapiro- he knows the reason he was un- chosen.

I suspect the worse. They feel they can afford it. But then there is Occam’s razor. Simplest explanation is the best. The ‘Rats are stupid!

Based on what rank N file Dems are saying, most are happy with the pick. Walz is a hard left apparatchik masquerading as a ''folksy'' midwest governor. Dems love candidates who are complete phonies.

Not sure, but she's dumb as a rock and when you hear that video of him talking he comes across as a bully.
And, when you look at how he "achieved" many of the things he did in Minnesota, it was essentially authoritarian rule (bullying) to get his way.
If he's only 60 he has not aged very gracefully. Looks more like a grumpy old man despite only 60 years old.
Yikes.

All I could think of when she (Obama) picked this guy was Walter Mondale. This will be a Mondale esque landslide!

Been trying to figure out why the selected Walz for VP.
First thought, Minnesota was the home of George Floyd and the Democrats are trying to get the black vote. Look for the Democrats to drag Floyd out of the ground and rehash his death all over again to appeal to blacks.
Also think they selected Walz over Shapiro because they are looking for someone that might appeal to Muslims.

They can do whatever they want, the media will cover for them and make this seem like the dream team par execellánce. Besides, they already have the rigging in place to guarantee a "win". Its not that Trump can't win, its that the Dims cannot lose.

I suspect they ARE a throwaway ticket. They have tried every dirty and illegal trick they know to destroy Trump a second time. None of it has worked. They even tried to kill him and that didnt work either. Even their fallback...voter fraud... will be much harder this time because it will be watched for.
Since Trump is almost certainly going to win, they dont want to waste their best and brightest. Better to sacrifice a couple of losers while holding someone more electable in reserve for a future opportunity.

I can't help but think that somewhere Van Jones is either crying or cued up to cry.

The author posits a theory of strategic surrender on part of the dems. Like when we ran Dole but not seriously in '96.
Is he serious?
#1 I'm not even sure the electorate is sane enough to vote for their own protection.
#2 Im nowhere near sure we have enough election integrity in the swingers to admit Trump's victory even in a landslide.
So, No, I don't believe that Harris/Walz is a White Flag ticket for the thieving, lying, cheating, unscrupulous, hate filled, TDS infected dems.

It is not in the democrats DNA to have a throwaway election. They don't give up power that easily, especially with 2 or 3 supreme court replacements in the next couple of years. They have their fraudulent vote machine cranked up and ready to pull even the worst candidate across the finish line.

Consider that, supposedly, BO told Biden he was out, one way or another. Biden couldn't stop that but in a fit of pique, nominated Kamala as the replacement candidate, spitting in BO's face.
Now BO knows that Kamala is a klown show, so maybe he DOES decide to torpedo the dem's election, just to spit back at Biden and flush all the dems that are out of power but still have pull and are remnants of the old dem party and have to be purged for BO's forces to move forward. So Holder undermines the hapless Kamala and sets up a election defeat that will purge the dem party and let BO remake it in his image.
Pretty wild, huh? Remember how BO and his minions corrupted the Intelligence agencies to spy and lie about Trump. That was not simple to accomplish. It was almost unbelievable. They continue to do it today and the corruption has spread to the FBI and DOJ. They will use that to impede Trump and focus on 2028.
When you doubt what they might do, remember the title of BO's book, "The AUDICITY of Hope". Boldness and daring operating in the shadows, that is what BO is all about.

This is an interesting theory. They might be going for a 50/50 win if you lose / win if you win. If they lose this go round they may just come back stronger than ever in 2028 (the win if you lose). However, with the cheating machine they have in place they may very well come up with the votes from the dead, illegals, harvesting, mail in ballots and stuffed ballot boxes to actually win (the win if you win). On that, if they get lucky and win this year, we're doomed and if we have a 2028 election it will be a lopsided unfair one with only dems winning.

I think she asked more than a few Dems about being her VP before she found someone stupid enough to hitch his career to hers. The left wing is running the Dem party and they think this is a dream ticket.
I hope the Trump campaign sticks to the issues - if so, they will win in a landslide.
