Rant #3,396: Gone, Gone, Gone

Well, he done did it, and that is why I am here with a blog post today when I originally said I wouldn't be here.

I warned you!

Anyway, President Joe Biden dropped out of the Presidential race on early Sunday afternoon, and has endorsed his vice president, Kamala Harris, as his choice to succeed him.

All the delegates that Biden had are not necessarily directly given to Harris during the upcoming Democratic convention.

They are pretty much free agents, but I am sure that if the party wants Harris, they will go with her.

All of this adds more intrigue to this process--will Harris go unchallenged as the nominee?

Who will she name as her running mate?

What a mess!

All of this makes for an incredible day in U.S. history.

All the TV news anchors were rushed onto their respective networks' out-of-nowhere Sunday afternoon news broadcasts, and a lazy summer Sunday afternoon suddenly became tumultuous.

Was Biden pushed and forced to make this decision against his will? Word is that he is kind of bitter about it.

Was he forced to bow out because he was losing badly?

If so, who forced him into this decision?

You kind of think that former Presidents Obama and Clinton probably had plenty to do with this, but who knows?

Personally, I always thought the plan was for Biden to be a placeholder for Harris, and when he was unable to be president, Harris would be able to slide right into the role seamlessly.

Biden just so happened to survive during his first term as president, so now, it just took a little longer for that to happen. 

And you just know that race is going to be a major facet of this race, and it has already been so, as almost immediately, Hariis was quickly endorsed by several black organizations, as well as female organizations, obviously simply because of her race and gender, and nothing else.

That is just so wrong, but this type of racist and gender-biased thinking is passed off as OK today.

And let me posit this question--

If Biden is unable to run for another term, is he even fit to be our commander in chief right now and for the next six months?

My next question:

Will age still.play a role in the campaign, but this time, used against the Republican nominee?

Now that I have posited these two questions, the next question is an obvious one:

How does this impact the other side?

I really don't know.

I don't think it will change their platform or what former President Trump stands for, but his focus will now certainly be changed to Harris.

We will see exactly what that means during the next few months.

And as for me, I am not voting for Trump, I was not going to vote for Biden, and I am not going to vote for Harris.

In a funny way, they are all cut from the same cloth--politicians thst are not to be fully trusted-- and I won't cast a ballot for any of them.

And you know, there are independents that either agree with me or can go either way--

And Trump and Harris will need to court these voters ...

And the one that does the best doing so will win the election in November.

It's as simple--and as complex--as that.
