I watched this in the morning and thought of you, was almost certain you will post it :)
Yes it's a great interview and confirms much of what I've suspected and said about Harris even in the 2014-2015 time period on TMF.

Awhile ago here I had said that I suspect Biden ENDORSED Kamala - as a final up-yours to Obama, Pelosi, and the other idiotic Liberals that betrayed him.
By doing so - he gave them no choice but to get behind a flawed horrible candidate.
In the interview, Mr Morgan said exactly that so I am glad to hear the confirmation.
GOOD MR PRESIDENT, YOU GOT THEM BACK!!!! AND I'M GLAD MY ONE VOTE CONTRIBUTED IN PENNSYLVANIA. means something to me.
Ps: The Sheeple forgot Biden in 1 minute - like Dope and I had predicted. Notice now - they don't even mention their beloved "Kamala".

Good morning, I bet you knew this was coming too. I no longer read this daily spitball fight, but I feel an obligation to keep the usual suspects grounded in the real world with an actual occasional post. 🍿☮️ “Who will be the Democratic nominee in 2028?

Kalshi is the first regulated platform in the US where you can trade on events, just like stocks. Think of it as the NYSE, but for things you relate to, care about, and understand.

“ Awhile ago here I had said that I suspect Biden ENDORSED Kamala - as a final up-yours to Obama, Pelosi, and the other idiotic Liberals that betrayed him.“ To be fair when it’s time to take the car keys away from mom, dad, or granny, if you don’t and they kill people, whose fault is it? Hunter and Jill should have, done the right thing, 18 months ago, period. If the Dem party had respected the process and held a competitive nomination process, which ever candidate won would have beat the Teflon Don simple. Trump should pardon Hunter as a thank you for insisting Joe was healthy, alert, and fully engaged. ☮️

Liberals are not in favor of Democracy.
With all their bullshit about early voting, phone voting, blah blah blah they could've had a primary in that short amount of time -- and maybe Kamala wouldn't have blown thru 1.5 billion to shine Trump's shoes.
As far as gramps.....
I disagreed with the usual kissing Europe's sissy racist ass and helping them with Putin and the constant war mongering with Russia. But then again that is policy - not insanity. I supported the same shit under Bush.
I never once felt unsafe or worried that President Biden was at the helm vis a vis mental stuff. He had it when it counted and he had some decency around him.
But. They won. they ousted him.
I wonder how much they love their victory.

Stopped watching at "disqualifies her forever". Her sin is she lost. I read articles about someone making a fortune off of Trump. Doesn't disqualify her and I'm sure disappointed in Cuomo.

Of course Biden endorsed her. But you claiming that was a final "up yours" to all who betrayed him. He's savvy enough to know that no one betrayed him. There were discussions that he wasn't appraised fully of the poor polls by his staff. HE understood that he'd performed badly, and the people down ballot were complaining they couldn't retain their seats if he ran. There were people going to him and talking frankly. He tested the waters and found out they were telling the truth.
Your summation reminds me of the fellows who will look at a graph of a stock and come up with nice-sounding loaded explanations for the movement, but this is just patter, they don't believe in actually looking at the stock, it's all in the graph. They';; compliment each other on this interpretation too.
When someone endorses someone and bows out, they are throwing whatever votes they have influence over to that person. It's not an "up yours", he's doing that in coordination with the party. It was a smooth transition to Kamala, and he helped, played his part and didn't interfere - far from being an "up yours". It was nice to watch. How did you possibly get that so wrong?

LAMBO I can't refute what you say because after all, Biden didn't call to tell me.
BUT - Mr Morgan in that interview is well funded and well connected with Biden world..... he just said the same thing.
So doubt me - that's legit.
Morgan? I think he knows what he's talking about.
As far as Biden knowing he did badly? He only left - not when Obama pressured. Or Chuck. Or Barack. It took ALL of them and then-----it took big donors pulling the money.
Biden went because he was forced. He didn't volunteer.
And I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to vote for him again.

I think that's the major lesson here. There was not a huge shift in Congress, possibly because Biden DID get out of the race. The House is virtually unchanged. The Senate was always going to be tough for Democrats this year even if there was a strong Presidential candidate who won. To lose only two seats (given that one was Manchin and almost a guaranteed loss), isn't bad at all.
My own district is one of the closest races in the country and still hasn't been called with 99% of the votes counted. CA 45. Republican incumbent is losing by less than 600 votes out of over 310,000 cast, and will probably stay that way. With an unpopular Biden at the top of the ticket, we probably stay Republican fairly clearly.

Yes, and Albaby called it and outlined 3 outcomes. We are in the third outcome, where we ran Kamala, she's legit and primaried, so there are no fights at the convention, etc. She would lose, but we have a good chance of saving the downballot. If we'd kept Joe, we'd have lost the Presidency and the downballot. I suspect Albaby's tapped into a political group that follows politics and he's probably been following all his life, plus he's great at communicating. Then we got to see it, and go through it. That was a great experience. I was feeling down and my spirits got lifted by how smooth that was.
So if Albaby thinks the nomination for Treasury Secretary signals that Trump is aware and doesn't want to tank the economy, I pay attention. He's tapped in. Trump isn't following transition rules and for some reason isn't picking up the computers, and some teams aren't meeting. I'd rather have a smooth transition with few bumps.
China mfrs some cars in Mexico that they don't sell to us. So trump can put tariff's on them and it will have no effect, but it's... China! :)

"So if Albaby thinks the nomination for Treasury Secretary signals that Trump is aware and doesn't want to tank the economy, I pay attention."
read Lucky Loser, and you might have a different thought on what Trump might do.
Trump was a horrible businessman. He acted solely on his "gut" instinct. He took insanely
risky positions, did not analyze what the market for his casino's and properties would support.
Trump purchased land for golf course developments without even bothering to check on zoning laws,
or environmental restrictions. He just did STUPID, RASH stuff.
Trump was bailed out time and time again by Big Daddy Fred Trump, and in illegal ways.
Trump, per his IRS tax returns, had losses of over $1.1 BILLION over a decade. Trump does not
care 1 bit about the law, personal responsibility, or consequences. He has skated away
from all of his law breaking. Everything that's happened has just reinforced the thought
that he is above the law of the land. He HAS been above the law, his whole life.
None of this sounds like a guy who will show any reasoned thought and restraint during his
"reign" as President.
I know there are high hopes that the checks and balances of our system will hold the line
against him. We shall see, as Trump is going to test the hell out of those checks and balances.
