If they debate her before the convention, and it doesn't go well, the Democrats will just thrown her under the bus and go with yet another option. Glad they are waiting to see how this pans out.

How many times can white-out be applied to a bumper sticker? This will be yet >another test for the American people ;)

I know people who are either so party loyal, or so anti the other party,
that they would vote for an inanimate carbon rod if their party put one forward.

I heard/read that the Obamas had someone else in mind... But Joe did an FU move
by endorsing Kamala as soon as he did. It forced Barry's hand.

Could be, except the Obamas waited until it was pointed out, by
Republicans, that Harris didn't have the Obama endorsement. Then they immediately endorsed her. I am not sure they cared so much what Biden did
as they have more sway than him.

Most people did seem shocked that he endorsed Harris instead of an open convention.

I saw an FEC person on the News and they said that they just transfer money >from Joe to Kamala... He said that Trump will need to fight it. There is >nothing setup for this.

The Florida East Coast railroad??? :D

I am not sure about that. I have heard several sources mention that the
money that Joe raised can go to Harris and only Harris. IIRC, the same
thing happened in 1968 (Humphrey got LBJ's funds) but the law was quite possibly different back then.

I seen on YouTube that there are pictures of Joe. he's already dead.

The same people who were pushing "Joe is dead," the last time I saw it,
claimed he died in Vegas. They were the same people who only a short few
days before were showing video of Biden, post-Vegas, and complaining that
he wasn't wearing a mask.

Jill is supposedly pissed at the Dems for making Joe step down, so I doubt she'd put up with a charade if he was dead.

[..]

I am also curious to see how it goes. With the Obamas throwing their support behind Kamala yesterday, I don't see how it can go another way.

The delegates at the DNC choose the nominee. Not Biden, or Obama,
or any other non-delegate.

That said, I think that the Trump team is smart not to schedule a debate, or
to engage with her too much in general, until after the convention.

What the entity known as Mike Powell is trying to say is Trump
is too chickenshit to debate Harris - even though the debate on
September 10 had already been agreed upon by all parties.

What a sore loser.

For Life,

Alan is not usually right, but he is here.

You and Alan might both be right that Trump made a request to congress, although I have not heard or seen it. But "orders?" How does Trump "order" congress to do anything, while president or ex-president?

Trump has control over a significant follower base. If Johnson had ignored Trump's "request," all Trump would have to do is say "RINO" and that
follower base would have been all over Johnson, or any other Republican
that didn't follow the order.

Also, do not forget that the Trump family now controls the RNC
pursestrings, much like Hillary controlled the DNC pursestrings in 2016.

So is it a direct order? No.
Does it carry the weight of an order? Yes.
Could not following that order have voter and/or financial consequences?
Yes.

Also, how can you say for sure that Trump wanted the legislation passed just t
boost his campaign?

He pretty much said as much.

Sometimes people tell people to do something that they are already in the process of doing. If my rep voted in favor of the bill, I'd be angry with my rep.
