You need to remove Stuart Stevens from that list. For weeks, he regarded the post debate panic as insane, and said so in every venue available. See his piece in The Atlantic which begins by comparing the move to replace Biden with Jan 6th! Only Allan Lichtman was more emphatic.
If he came to accept the need for Biden to step down, it was with great reluctance.
Btw, I have not and will not read further. Once I saw Steven's name lumped in with The Bulwark, you lost me.
Time to thank Joe Biden for saving democracy - twice. Time to be energized and united behind Kamala. She's the pick and now it's up to all of us to help her get it done. I don't care about the past affiliations or regrettable choices of some former republicans who have of late come under the pro-democracy tent opened to them by Democrats, and I am grateful for the crusty experts like Carville, et al. They have been speaking difficult truths that many have wanted not to hear. I care that we all need now to support a groundswell of hope that will vanquish fascism (and in particular, the proponents and perpetrators of Project 2025).
They are on my shit list. I was a subscriber, but they have really lost the thread, and reading their preferences into Dems.
But they all were part of the reason for Trump’s original ascension to the presidency, and then they think they can tell the Dems how to run their party.
I will certainly miss Joe as president, but I do not see this as a misstep. Kampala will be a young and energetic candidate able to raise support among those disenfranchised by Supreme court decisions. She has the name recognition needed and has already garnered support from several democratic delegates, politicians and political analysts. The republicans are not prepared to fight her candidacy and appear to be in disarray. If she can gain support from other top democrats and chooses a young, active and vocal vp, I can see her easily defeating Donnie fatty diet in the popular vote. The big issue I am seeing is Mike Jackson's (johnson) control of the house. Can he be vacated if he chooses to not certify incoming house electees? Can it be done in a manner to insure a fair transfer of power or will the supreme court step in to give a lost election to drumpf? ( I did not type fatty diet but it seems an appropriate autocorrect)
Thank you, I was floored when I got the news. In my opinion, He was bullied out and these “Democrats” threw him under the bus. Shame on them! I am not sure if Kamala can clinch the nomination, considering her run in 2020 that was pretty bad. Maybe she is better prepared now. I am a permanent resident so I can’t vote and what I saw unfolding sucks. What about the millions of voters voted for Biden in the primaries? I have no more words and what I think about the assasination attempt are bad thoughts.
And we can add Nancy Pelosi to the group of fuck you who continuously pushed him to step down when she herself considered at 82 to be reelected as how speaker
I think that this whole situation since June 27 may have brilliantly planned by the Administration and the Democratic “elites”. They carefully set a trap and MAGA walked right into it. They have made pretty much the entire election about Biden’s age and fitness. Now who has the old man who is incoherent? 🤣 Brilliant! Watching Steven Miller nearly stroke out was priceless. And tRUMP demanding reimbursement for funds spent campaigning against “Old Man Biden”, fucking perfection. Well played Mr. President!
I’ll support whoever Kamala picks to be vice president. Anything to stop Project 2025 and the old orange stupid pumpkin head. I wish nothing but the best for the Biden family. Joe was the best president in my lifetime.
You expressed perfectly how I feel - thank you! I’m pissed off, heartbroken, and trying to gird myself for the coming shit show if the Dems can’t get their act together.
REALLY furious with the Bukwark crowd & so disappointed with the Pod Save America crowd, and yes, what they did won’t save them from the MAGA camps.
Now that’s off my chest, I’ll work for whatever Democratic ticket is left standing after the upcoming circus. This is our country, not the fascists, and I intend to show them that with my vote, money & volunteer efforts, no matter the ketchup they throw at the wall to see what sticks!
I just want to say that you all have been magnificent. Thank you for the engagement, comments, and commiserations. This means a lot to me.
WHO is this?
He looks just like Joe Biden used to, about 20 years ago.
I remember him. He was a great chap.
Eyes front, team!

You're right, I confused him with Steven Schmidt. I will fix that now. My bad!
He needs to use the immunity ruling:

Best use of flense I’ve seen in some time.
I learn plenty from watching Archer…
Thanks for giving it to the bulwark, I really needed the catharsis. Also the self important insiders, donors and podcasters.
They got what they wanted - I hope it works.

No thank you.
Thanks. You put in words what I felt. 💙

.... I agree I loved Joe winning again (he would've) BUT, I will vote for Kamala cross my fingers and wait for that big win in November! ✌️💙

Steven Miller needs to stroke out. That is a delightful benefit
Horrible days in America
