Again, the rank and file of the Democratic Party did not choose Harris. Only way she should be candidate is if Biden was dead or unable to serve because of medical reasons. If so, he should have been replaced accordingly and Harris would be president right now. Less than two months before she became nominee, Dem leadership (Pelosi esp) was calling for her to be removed as VP candidate for 2024. The Democrats keep moving the goalposts when it can meet their wants. I would have a problem with it if the tables were turned. America continues going down a slippery slope and both parties are playing a role.

Still can't get over Robinson being the best candidate the Republicans could put on the ticket. Good grief.

Democrats trotted out a Weekend at Bernie' s style corpse with a crack addicted son the last 4 years so not really sure they stand on any moral high ground.

Not to mention Kamala's Willie Brown scandal, her Husband banging the kid's nanny and impregnating her etc.

---

Democrats scuttled Bernie/Brandon/Biden because they recognized he was a bad candidate at this stage, and replaced him with a much more electable candidate.

Too bad Pubs didn't do the same with Trump or Robinson.

---

So you're okay that the democrats didn't take there voters thoughts at all in getting the next candidate? Who tf thinks that's a good idea

I think the polls are closer than people think in NC.

This is a last ditch effort to persuade conservatives that your candidate doesn't stand a chance so why even vote

Dems can't make candidates run.

Other candidates could have declared but it was moot at that point and everybody knew it.

Kamala could step into the war chest and campaign staff she and Biden already had. Other candidates would have to start fundraising and pulling together a staff, start up a campaign, and get rolling big time in a little over three months.

The prudence of Harris stepping in aside, I bet the interest other candidates had was basically nil.

Yep.

I don't like it but it's not changing, and given the various considerations I don't have any issue with the way Kamala got nominated.

Biden had clearly lost the support of the party and was unelectable. The onus was on the party to act and they did to encourage him to step down. Kamala had all the built-in advantages of being able to step into nearly $100MM in campaign funding, and use Biden's campaign staff.

No other candidate was interested in changing that momentum, in what could well be a losing effort. Why would they wet their powder and run a partial campaign under the gun when they could just bide their time and embark on a full campaign in four years or eight years?

This is a bigger issue than partisan preference….its a powerful mechanism to control people. Robinson never said anything like how he's parodied in that AI-generated hit piece but it's so real, and people are so ignorant of AI, that it's devastating.

It is what it is... We are destined for doom!

Now leftist would never make up an account on Ashley Madison or other porn websites to harm conservatives would they? Oh wait, Christopher Rufo, an actual journalist, who is helping in taking down leftist causes, had his name show up on Ashley Madison. Same person had tred to drag down Ted Cruz and Samuel Alito. Who knows if they had anything to do with the Mark Robinson allegations.

https://www.theblaze.com/news/leftist-false-flagger-tries-to-take-down-chris-rufo-but-theres-a-major-problem-with-her-narrative

I thought I saw that someone from his campaign admitted to the account. I'm just speaking from the Mark issue. I could be wrong.

It's over whether they admit it or not. His senior staff quit, his reputation is irreparably tarnished, national Pubs are abandoning him, and Stein was already +10 in the polls before the most recent **** hit the fan.

Barring some crazy October Surprise Stein scandal, this thing is done-zo.

republicans need to conceded the governors seat and focus on the house and senate majority. Robinson is a boat anchor of a cadidate and i wonder if he will push nc to harris as well.

The GOP legislative leadership deserves all the blame for this fiasco by putting their thumb on the scales for Robinson. They went to great lengths to finish off Folwell whom they'd been trying to get rid of for some time. Just goes to show the folly of interfering with primaries.
