“Joe Biden made a “terrible mistake for himself, his legacy and for the country” by trying to run for re-election on 2024.”
Thus quoth always bitter Hillary Clinton in an on-stage interview with The New Yorker’s editor, David Remnick at an event this week, conveying her considered wisdom regarding the reasons for the Democrats’ face-plant in 2024 to anyone breathlessly awaiting it.
Somebody should tell her—Remnick didn’t—that pretty much everyone in the nation who wasn’t in a coma during the Biden administration before the election—that’s almost four years of painful observation—had figured this out the second Biden announced his candidacy. Those few dense souls who hadn’t already recognized the obvious certainly saw the writing on the metaphorical wall when Joe descended into Authentic Frontier Gibberish during his debate with Donald Trump. And surely when the result of Joe’s egocentric and demented botch resulted in his party anointing the hopeless and hapless Kamala Harris, absolutely everyone with the possible exception of Harris herself knew that Joe had engineered a disaster, though not without the incompetence of many, many others paving the way.
Hillary also proclaimed that if Biden had decided to “pass the torch” and the Democratic Party had held a competitive Presidential primary, “whoever emerged from that contest — whether it was the Vice President, or a governor, or a senator or anybody else — would have beaten Donald Trump.”
If you say so.
Jerk.

One of the most evil, conniving, soulless wicked witches on the planet, and we should listen to her, vote for her, support her because she’s a woman?

Harsh, but true. Despite the claim that she was the most qualified candidate ever, a lot of people saw right through her for what she was, a would be tyrant with few accomplishments of her own. We had a chance to see her as first lady as senator and as Secretary of State and that was plenty of time to decide she was not what we wanted in a president’. All the same, we were supposed to vote for her because she would have been historic and because she was Hillary.
The fact is that she was not outstanding in any of those roles. She was simply someone who rode the coattails of a powerful man even though in some ways she really couldn’t stand him, enabled his behavior that probably damaged the presidency, acted entitled, and either lied or looked down her nose at everyone who was not her. She was one of those women who everyone is afraid of and no one knows why. She was one of those people that if you asked what the consequences of not catering to her would be, everyone just said don’t do it.
Now she lost the Big race, almost a decade has gone by, and really there is nothing for her to offer at this point. Her failure meant The Fall of the House of Clinton. You don’t hear about the Clinton foundation anymore and no one donates to whatever she might be working on. There was briefly talk of running Chelsea as soon as a congress slot opened up in New York, but it doesn’t seem like Chelsea wants to go that route. Why should she? She’s already got recognition and riches from doing very little, she doesn’t need the headache.
I once compared Biden in part to a Punch-Drunk boxer who sits in the bar saying he can take anybody on. I guess Hillary is like that too, although from bitterness rather than dementia. It sucks to know that history is moving on without you.
I’ve met Chelsea. She’s nice enough, but has the charisma of a Pet Rock, and isn’t even as attractive as her mother was in her youth.
Then there’s this from Newsweek:
According to a poll conducted by Focaldata, Harris is the early favorite to win the Democratic nomination if she runs in 2028. Thirty-nine percent of respondents said they would support her candidacy. Newsom followed with 21 percent support, while 10 percent backed Ocasio-Cortez, a favorite among progressives.
Both former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro received 7 percent of respondents’ support, and Arizona Senator Mark Kelly received 6 percent.
Harris at 39 percent! What are Democrats thinking? Didn’t they see her?
1. They know who she is.
2. She’s still sort of black and a woman.
3. Look at the competition!
And they’ll all march off the cliff together again. It’s a political death cult.

Truth be told, Clinton wasn’t actually wrong. Biden did make a big mistake and the Democrats paid dearly for it. As well they should.

Well yeah. And I wouldn’t be wrong if I said “The Boston Red Sox lost the 1975 World Series to the Reds.” But everybody already knows that, just as everybody knows it was incompetent and foolish for Biden to run again.
I know. It is kinda like Clinton telling us the Sun rises in the East and sets in the West. Any fool knows that. It is not like she is granting the world some new, insightful pearl of wisdom. She is, though, showing us that she is still bitter, and hatefully so, about losing the nomination to Obama and then getting pasted by Trump in 2016.

Or his handlers. I’m not saying Biden in his lucid moments didn’t support running again but it seems unlikely that the decision was entirely his. And, as we’ve discussed many times, Dr. Jill and the inner circle were most certainly involved in that decision which is tantamount to elder abuse.
They cannot possibly be as incompetent as this to believe that Kamala Harris had a chance. I’ve believed all along that the plan was to get Biden in office and have him step down (or force him out) after a dignified period of time in order to install Harris as the – historic! – President. That plan derailed when Harris turned out to be ridiculously out of her league. They decided to circle wagons around the President instead and install an unelected cabal to run the country instead.
Then, unwilling to hand over the reigns to a qualified Democrat – or even any Democrat – they forced out all of the contenders in their own party so that Biden could be the primary candidate and hoped it would work. Unfortunately, there were too many glaring problems with Biden that tanked his candidacy. Not having an open primary to install an alternate was the final nail in the coffin.
People were tired of the Biden Cabal’s far-left politicking and, maybe, starting to get wise to the Democratic Party’s lack of transparancy.
Agreed. And how on earth could anyone spend any amount of time around Harris and not conclude she is a ditz? To me, a mystery.
But she was part of the cabal that let all of Biden happen, John.
She was and she is a horrible individual. All agreed. It is also true that allwoing Biden to run again (hell, even the first time) was a monumentally awful idea with disasterous results, all of which were duly earned.
