Short of any major october surprises i think Trump is currently on course to win and Dems have nobody to blame but themselves for refusing open primaries against their awful candidates in biden or kamala. Leadership of the DNC and their top donors are probably more ok with trump winning then risking any challenge to their power from the ideological wing of their own party too
No matter how you slice it, I don't think the Democrats had a viable mass popularity option that wasn't in full dementia.
Well, that's true of the GOP as well, but Trump is getting a lot of graces for just a few years less on the dementia trail.
Open primaries would have been a good idea in February. But not in July. You have to blame Biden and his enablers on that one.
Because while I still was in favor of a short primary round, party unity would have been chaos the whole way to November with infighting factions. Plus the added bonus of black women who could arguably say they carried the party for years suddenly getting one of their own representatives sent to the back of the bus when she was the next in line. (And I don't like Kamala but still voted for her out of the two legit choices.)
The Democrats have some good peeps, but none of them with the broad appeal needed to carry the Electoral College.
DJT will drop like a fly one year in and you guys will be left with JD Vance lol.
This is 100% happening. During some briefing meeting, DJT is going to walk off and start hugging the White House curtains, going off about electric boats or some crap. The rest of his cabinet -- who in 4 years will be like 30 Judases, 10 Thomases, and 4 Matthews at the Last Supper -- are going to have to keep the meeting rolling pretending grandpa isn't about to accidentally open a window and fall out.
