a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result:

For weeks people on the right made arguments that Biden wasn’t fit for office due to health, subterfuge or whatever. Then Biden drops out of the race essentially giving those people what they wanted.

But, that wasn’t good enough. The same people who have expressed all sorts of disdain for the members of the party who voted in favor of him in the primaries now cry crocodile tears for those poor disenfranchised souls who they so vehemently dislike.

Goes to show that some people will never be satisfied even when the get what they say they want.

Perhaps you missed it, but the majority of people talking for him to drop out were from the left. Each and every day that added to there ranks. The right has been calling out him ineptitude fir going on 2+ years.
As to what now has happened well I believe it worked out exactly as the demo wanted. They knew there was no way whatsoever she was going to win a primary against anyone. And they sure as hell don't want RFK. So Biden had to run. Then once he locked it up...........
Every single Democrat voter should be up in arms that the primary was effectively taken out of there hands. All there votes meant absolutely nothing. And the only people saying that now is the right.

Personally I don’t care what the delegates think. They are part of an organization that does a lot of virtue signaling but their next action is rarely virtuous. It is possible that people who see this the way I do merely point out that the DNC compounded their poor decisions with more poor decisions. That’s just how I see it though.

Anticipating any whaddabout RNC claims or questions now…sure, if anyone posts something relevant and logical then I will agree that the RNC has its problems too. I’m aware of that.

Whether they voted for Biden or not it’s a given that 98.2% of them would vote for the eventual nominee whomever it is. So if a Democrat wins the election as far as they are concerned its mission accomplished. On the other hand the people on the right are concerned that whomever is the eventual nominee they will poll better than Biden.

Oh btw you missed it. I didn’t say people on the right were calling for him to drop out. I said that they were saying he wasn’t fit to hold office. There’s a significant difference between what you implied that said and what I actually said.

The far right is witnessing the daily fall of MAGA and is afraid. Donald Trump is showing who he is every day. He is an angry confused old man with diminished mental capacity. He is now running against Kamala Harris, a person 20 years younger than him who is smart and aggressive. I imagine he will not debate her unless his pride beats his diminished logic. She will shred him if they do. He will continue to make confused angry statements every time he speaks, causing a greater surge for Harris every time. His base loves who he is and what he does and says. No one else has the same opinion of him. He and his campaign have made a mistake in thinking his rhetoric that fires up his base will gain additional voters for him. Every time he speaks like he does more potential voters for him realize voting for him would be a tragic mistake.

Donald Trump Dealt Quadruple Polling Blow Within 48 Hours
Newsweek 8/1/2024

Former President Donald Trump has been dealt a quadruple polling blow as Vice President Kamala Harris continues to surge ahead of November's 2024 election.

Across six national polls released on Tuesday and Wednesday, Trump trailed behind Harris in four and led in two. Harris was up by 4 percentage points in a Civiqs survey, 3 points in a Leger survey, 2 points in a YouGov survey and a point in an Ispos survey. Trump, on the other hand, had a 2-point advantage in a McLaughlin poll and a 2.6-point advantage in an ActiVote poll.

The polls suggest that the Democratic shake-up prompted by President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the race is working for the party. The 2024 race has quickly become much closer in polling with Harris at the top of the ticket than it was with Biden.

Even though Cook Political Report's latest national average, which was released Wednesday, showed Trump ahead by 1.3 points, it also showed Harris was able to halve Trump's lead, cutting it down from the 2.7 points the former president was ahead against Biden.

The Leger poll, which found Harris with a 3-point advantage over Trump in a head-to-head, showed Harris with her biggest margin yet when other candidates were taken into account. The vice president led Trump by 7 points, with 48 percent support to his 41 percent with independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. leading third-party candidates at 5 percent. This marked a significant decrease in the number of voters who say they would support a third-party candidate, from 12 percent in June to 5 percent in July. The Leger poll was conducted between July 26 to July 28 among 1,002 people and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.

The Civiqs poll, which showed Trump trailing Harris by 4 points, showed Harris with strong support among voters aged 18 through 49, while Trump did better among those aged 50 and older. Harris had a higher favorability rating than both Trump and his running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance, with 43 percent holding a favorable opinion of the vice president, 42 percent saying the same of Trump and 34 percent saying so of Vance.

The survey also indicated that the majority of Democrats were glad Biden left the presidential race and that overall, half of Americans think Harris has a better chance at defeating Trump. However, more voters, 45 percent, still predicted Trump would win, compared to 42 percent who expected Harris to prevail. The Civiqs poll was conducted between July 27 and July 30 among 1,123 registered voters and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Though I'm sure they really appreciate all of the concern those on the right have expressed for their apparent disenfranchisement.

The YouGov survey marked the first time since November that the pollster recorded a Democratic candidate leading by more than one point over Trump. In the last survey, conducted before Harris replaced Biden, Trump led by 2 points. Thursday's poll shows Harris bringing Democrats up 4 points and holding the advantage over Trump, with 46 percent to his 44 percent. The poll was conducted between July 27 to July 30 among 1,605 adults and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.


While the Ispos poll showed Harris in the lead by one point, it was a slight dip for the vice president who was leading over Trump by 2 points last week. It also found that Harris has been able to improve her standing among Americans, lifting her favorability rating from 40 percent on July 2 to 46 percent by the end of the month. This poll was conducted between July 26 to July 28 among 1,025 people and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

No fan of Kamala Harris any more so than I was of Joe Biden. Unfrequently Republican voters chose a demagogue for a candidate rather than someone their core as well as swing voters could support. If Kamala Harris continues to surge, I fear we are going to be stuck with her as President for at least four years.
