Obama wanted Sen Mark Kelly (AZ) at top of the ticket

[Dragonlady]

What's being reported is that he "plans to endorse her soon, these people said." WTF does "soon" mean?

Well given that he's been advising her on running a successful campaign for a while, to great effect so far, I'm guessing it'll be after she makes her VP pick, and AFTER the delegates have elected her so that it won't look like he's "annointing" her.

That way he's congratulating the Party for having chosen her. They'll have a big rally together. Beyonce will perform, and the crowd will go crazy!!!

As we know, Obama has not endorsed Kamala because he knows she will lose.

It turns out Biden (likely Jill) endorsed Kamala just as a “**** you” to Obama for forcing old Joe out of the race by pulling his donors.

Obama was blindsided by this endorsement by Biden, and he is furious.



Mark Kelly is probably the only guy who has a shot at beating Trump, simply because he appears to be an all-American white guy who has actually done something, he is a former astronaut. He also pretends to be like Ronald Reagan when running which is the only reason he was able to win in AZ, the boomers bought into it. Of course it’s all a facade and he is just as much a dumb woke liberal as the rest of them. But this is the only way Dems can hope to win, by deception.

Obama’s always been a smart politician

Kelly would of made a much better choice

The timing would be off. Mark Kelly was elected as a Senator in 2022. He wouldn't really have had much to offer as a Presidential pick as just an astronaut and former navy pilot in 2020.

He's only be talked about as a VP pick now because the position opened up in the next election.

He’s being talked about because he looks like a normal white guy and not some woke moron like Kamala.

He's a prolific fundraiser who is popular, recently won a tough race, and can help bring in a swing state.

He's a solid choice.

The agendas she spoke the other day is a continuation of why our nation is having problems now. Teha agendas will add trillions of dollars a year to the deficit if enacted. People will more and more slow down working or produce less or just enough they have to.

And the DNC told Kamala not to pick a Jew.

Yea, because he pretends to be Ronald Reagan.

Mainly it's because he's the only one of the contenders with military experience, other than Pete Buttigieg. There's this ridiculous notion that the military will never accept a woman as CiC, so putting someone with a strong military record, and who doesn't like astronauts?

Would they put two people from adjacent western states on the same ticket? Especially when all of the so-called "Blue Wall" states are in the East or Mid-West.

Your grammar sucks. Write sentences, not a continuous paragraph.

You also need a coom with your quotations.

Party, does not get a capital letter.

How come you indent one paragraph and not the other.

You really are this stupid.

President Trump called out the Obama’s for not endorsing Kamala:

Then, Obama suddenly endorses Kamala:

Brilliantly played by President Trump. Now they are stuck with Kamala.

This short video from last night shows why Obama was reluctant to endorse Kamala; she's an idiot...

Yours willingness to believe any lie that Republicans tell you is astounding. How can one person be so gullible and unquestioning, especially given the number of times you've fallen for Russian propaganda, Chinese lies, and Republican lunacy?

The general view in Europe (looking in from the outside), MAGA is very gullible. Europeans can't understand how they can't see GOP economic model as a bushed flush until we tell them that it is down to the media bubbles they live in and tribal nature that perminates in US due to a lack of sense of belonging.
If you live in a Red area (say a Rural area) you are mildly ostracised if you hold views outside the main tribe.

The main thing is not to question the tribe, the tribe protects us from the evil. Everything outside the tribe is generally evil.

I've seen Mark Kelley and listened to him. He is very intelligent and well spoken.
I don't know much about this personal positions. But he would definitely be a dangerous opponent.

I'm sitting in Canada and wondered why Republicans keep going with these big tax cuts that lead to economic crashes every single time, and I've come to the conclusion that economic crashes, which impoverish working Americans and make them every more dependant on "earned income credits", which enriching the donor class, are "features" not bugs in their economic plans for the nation.

I'm reminded of Chile. Hostile takeover by the CIA in the 1970's after a "leftist" was elected. All of the leftist politicians, union leaders, university professors, and lawyers were taken to the soccer stadium and shot, and all social programs, minimum wages, laabour law protections, or constitutional protections ended. Chile is now considered one of the best countries in the world to do business in.

Wrong. The general view in Europe is they agree that rampant immigration is a detriment to society and will only lead to the downfall of Western civilization if allowed to continue. They agree with MAGA policies.

Exclusive | Obama doesn’t believe Kamala Harris can beat Trump, which is why he hasn’t endorsed her: sources

“Obama’s very upset because he knows she can’t win,” a Biden family source told The Post.

nypost.com

The NY Post isn't a reliable source. It's one or two more failed fact cheques away from being a Questionable Source - just like all Rupert Murdoch media.

• Overall we rate the New York Post on the far end of Right-Center Biased due to story selection that typically favors the Right and Mixed (borderline questionable) for factual reporting based on several failed fact checks.

New York Post - Bias and Credibility

RIGHT-CENTER BIAS These media sources are slightly to moderately conservative in bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words

Is that why every right wing government in Europe has gotten tossed over the past year????

The Conservatives got voted out in Great Britain. After a surprising victory in early elections, Marie LePen failed to take the French governent, and Macron recovered and held the Presidency. Ditto in Germany and Poland.

The ONLY right wing leaders who have managed to hang on are those who have managed to subvert democratic elections to stay in power, like Orban, Erdogan and Putin.

But I thought you fuckers said Obama was in charge?

I like Kelly but Walz was the better choice
