The Magic 8 Ball:
Democrat Candidate Selector Edition
Vice President Kamala Harris is being anointed as the Democrat Presidential Candidate after President Joe Biden’s awkward exit from the race just weeks before the Democrat National Committee Convention. More accurately, Democrat elites and the left-wing media are attempting to sell her to Democrat voter as the savior of the Democrat Party. This is not a subtitle sell, it is very heavy handed. In Democrat-think, such decisions are too important to be left to rank-and-file Democrat voters or even a truly open convention of delegates; a very small group of elites must step in and stage-manage everything for the "good of the Party."
It is a coronation.
The Democrat power brokers forced Biden out. And. Now they are stuck with the worst possible replacement candidate because of their own identity politics that made Kamala Vice President to begin with. As much as they might have wanted to pivot to another candidate, Kamala’s race and gender solidified her safety. BUT, let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
As best as I can figure, it was a decision that appears to be driven by the iconic Magic 8 Ball toy. Primary votes don’t count, only the will of some Democrat elites who asked the Magic 8 Ball, “Who should we nominate?” Shook up the 8 Ball and flipped it over to read, “Answer Unclear. Try Kamala.”

Where Else can you wade into a throng of 9,000 die-hard Republican voters? Only at the Texas State Republican Convention! If you have never attended, what are you waiting for?

But with a little bit of planning, you can get your PTO arranged, transportation to Houston and back and find a roommate/buddy to share that hotel expense. Texas has been red for all these years because 9,000 of you step up every year to be a part of this! It is an honor and a privilege to be a Texas State Convention Delegate and/or Alternate Delegate and represent your Senate District and active Republicans who want to go are likely to be elected as a delegate to attend.
