That's the only motive that makes sense to me unfortunately Walleye Jul 2024 #60

To the extent that the are operating in good faith I think they want "hypothetical democratic candidate". D23MIURG23 Jul 2024 #79

As I said in another post, basic politics is, you can't beat somebody with nobody Walleye Jul 2024 #80

OK, but I have yet to hear what the hell they actually do want Walleye Jul 2024 #61

To me it sounds like they don't want either. If they want Biden gone, they also want Kamala gone. KPN Jul 2024 #82

No. It doesn't. LBJ kept the Kennedy cabinet after JFK was killed. Grins Jul 2024 #62

I actually think this is about Kamala, they don't like her and they are concerned she will be taking over Bev54 Jul 2024 #67

You're right Bev. They also know if Joe resigned two years into his second term and Kamala Emile Jul 2024 #69

They want the excitement of an open convention newdeal2 Jul 2024 #10
