It's nice to have options. In the GOP, we believe in primaries rather than anointing the candidate.

The MSM cannot take a conservative candidate down. Only the candidate himself and his voter base. Stay true, be yourself, and remember promises made, promises kept. The late great. El Rushbo spoke these words of conservative wisdom all the time.

....kamela never even won a SINGLE delegate in the 2020 primary and was the first candidate out (out of about 10 as I recall).
She had no significant accomplishments on her resume.
She is a horrible speaker.
She is stupid (not making a politically influenced assessment here - it's just true).
She failed miserably in her roles as VP - she was "The Border Czar" during the worst border crisis in history and never went to the border for about 15 months after being named to the job to handle the crisis. (In her defense, the crisis was an intentional policy set by the BidenHandlers - but she was politically responsible for the result in the eyes of the voters).
She was sent to Ukraine to de-escalate growing tensions between Ukraine and Russia....war ensued several weeks later.
She has an alcohol problem.
She chose Walz as her VP instead of Shapiro.
Many in the Dem party didn't want her - but she was black (kind of as she claimed earlier in her political career that she was Indian), and because the Dems are beholden to their DEI beliefs, they could not possibly pass over the black VP for someone of greater merit. She openly played the race card and threatened the party not to pass he over.
Dems caved.

This would not have happened to the GOP.

Biden outwardly called himself a transitional presidential candidate in his 2020 campaign, clearly indicating that he was a one-term guy. I do believe the party was stunned when he reversed that position, but they should have cleared this matter up immediately. Instead, they let the debate do it for them, which was cowardly and extremely short-sighted.

JB's revelation in June- conv was in Aug - campaign funds could be used by DNC for any candidate

There was definitely time. And the DNC could have spent the money themselves on a diff candidate had they won more delegates at a convention. So the "not enough time" argument cannot be related to campaign funding.
This linked article is quite good, and it clearly shows that all of the money that was used by Harris could have been used by another Dem candidate who got more votes in the primary.

"Stephanopoulos: Let’s say Newsom became the nominee and there’s a bunch of money left over in the Biden-Harris account. That money could not go to Newsom directly, but it could go to the DNC’s account, which is separate from Newsom. And at that point, the DNC would also not be allowed to just give the money to Newsom. But the DNC could spend the money on its own advertising about how great Newsom is and that would be totally permissible. That would be independent spending. It wouldn’t be a contribution to Newsom’s campaign. At the moment, it doesn’t seem like this scenario will come into play. But if somebody other than Harris had been the nominee, that’s what would have happened."

I don't mean "interested in running for President" in general, but rather, who on the left was ready and willing to sign up to blitz their campaign on short notice for a primary? The only name that I recall speaking up that I recognized was Marianne Williamson. I do agree that the D.N.C. felt like they had to push Kamala forward as the candidate, but even if they leaned towards having a primary, were there enough (viable) candidates willing to jump in? I'm not sure that there were.

and complete a primary campaign, with plenty of time to let the American people know all about that chosen candidate...all within 4 months....piece of cake. Fortunately, Americans are wising up to the disaster that DJT is...approval polling is dipping into the 30's and that's going to have a significant impact on the 2026 Mid-Terms...and his ability to stay out of prison as soon as he leaves office.

Which of course means that they don’t believe in democratic rules.

And that fits with all of the communist protests by the Left and also confirms their projection of their own problems with their “No kings” slogan.

and he's still on the hook for multiple Grand Jury Indictments, both Federal and State...plus he has a monumental Personality Disorder of Malignant Narcissism, which is essentially incurable...easily the worst possible candidate for America's top Public Servant...what Gall for BVZ to not acknowledge such a God Awful choice.

Kamala Harris passed the tough CA Bar Exam and as CA AG forced the top banks in America to pay citizen constituents nearly 5X what they thought they had settled for as a result of our 'Great Recession'.

Baron likes to make up stories about other people out of whole cloth...just like his Avatar, DJT.

,,,,you may have chosen to vote for the unknown Handlers who annointed The Cackler over Trump for other reasons, but if primary criticisms of opponents from politicians who later take appointments from their target were really an issue for you, you wouldn't have voted for kamela - she slow roasted Joe.

but the attacks weren’t nearly as personal as those between Trump and Rubio, IMO. Trump went for the jugular when he attacked political opponents…hell, he still does. He goes too far. Remember what he said about Ted Cruz’s wife?
