“The horse has been led to water. We’ll see if it drinks.”

Glug, glug.

From your keyboard to G*d’s monitor. I wouldn’t have used the imperative mood. Subjunctive-ize it with some “might”s and “could”s and I agree with you. The evidence has all been laid out, about as compellingly as possible. The horse has been led to water. We’ll see if it drinks.

I feel like we’ve been on the receiving end of that ‘hate without cost’ for at least 40 years.

That is appropriate because we have been. However, tipping points and preference cascades are things. Trends do not continue indefinitely. We _may_ be nearing the end of that 40 year run.

Vance is my Senator also.

The fact is yes some will always say those things about anyone.
But we have a job to confront it right away and face to face. Remind then that that type of rhetoric is what causes assassination attempts and violence. It dehumanizes the target and makes it easier for those with the propensity to violence to act it out.

Andi: I did. Now fixed. Thank you.

What is coming, which looks like the death of this version of the Democrat party will be like drowning a rabid wolverine!

The fact that he is married to Usha, a fine lawyer, excellent mother, and by, chance, a Hindu, will become a means to attack her, and claim that he is even more racist.

I had the pleasure of seeing them, as a family at a Pro-Life event in SE Ohio years ago, before he was in the Senate. They were solid. I like having him as my senator, and will be sorry to see him leave that for VP, but only a little. Vivek, also from OH has been asked if he would take the job, if asked, and said he would very likely, if he thinks that would be the most effective way to implement his desired changes.

If Biden were to oust Harris, have Gavin as VP–then resign as many wanted–that might excite some but alienate others. It is mostly white liberals who want Biden replaced—that could bite them.

Now I dread an attempt on Biden’s life to elicit sympathy.

Seeing Trump’s son tear up as his dad moved towards the podium was moving.

“Yet in her nearly four-minute RNC speech, Rose made a compelling case for unlikely political conversions.”

And the more she changes the more she remains the same.

It’s all the same, when America wakes up due to the abuse of power of either dominant political party they make a change.

And that is by design.

IMO its all over but the cryin.

The question remains however: To what extent will the now desperate radical Democrat party and their associates within the permanent bureaucracy go to in order to retain their power?

The Democrats are like a cornered desperate animal and you can expect anything up to and including you know what in order to succeed.

They are not going to willingly surrender their political power; it must be taken away from them.

He was a Marine so at least part of the ticket has a little military background.

He went to The Ohio State. So he has that,but he then went to Yale. A small dip in his education.

The left can only attack him on his past opposition to Trump.
