Power brokers at the DNC gave voters no chance
The party treated his nomination as a fait accompli, discouraging any major candidates from tossing in their names. When modest resistance presented itself, they refused to hold a single debate, a move also strongly opposed by voters.
This month, when Biden finally did show up for a debate with Trump, it was an utter disaster. It would have been nice to know that weakness several months ago. Politicians belatedly begged him to step aside and donations dried up, yet the president dug in his heels.
Reporters and celebrities shared a flurry of anecdotes about the president’s obvious infirmity, some going back months. Trial balloons about potential replacements lofted over Washington, D.C.
What is a conservative anymore?Few can define it
Today, those same politicians are being considered as running mates. The DNC would know which pick was most popular if it had encouraged them to run in the primary. How else can you determine who best connects with the electorate?
Instead, the powerbrokers anointed Vice President Harris as nominee, just as they had anointed Biden earlier. Voters were not allowed to have a say, which is ironic since the party is named after democracy itself.
Kamala Harris' nomination was hardly democratic
For her part, Harris has a poor track record with American voters.
