There's also a reason why Hunter's leftist "special prosecutor" has accelerated prosecuting Hunter. If Joe gets removed either by election, or by impeachment, then he will lose the opportunity to pardon Hunter if Hunter hasn't yet been convicted.

.....Blue surfboards eat their own when there's blood in the water.

Since you've identified Soft Top's mental fitness as a partisan issue, please link us to a conservative or even a random Red board urging Blue surfboards to do something about Soft Top. There's a reason why leftist media rags are FINALLY reporting on Soft Top's gaffes and negative poll numbers.

Absolutely, NO. As a conservative, I want Blue surfboards to stay with the drooling mobbed-up imbecile you put into office for the 3 years you admit that Soft Top has been the same guy that he is right now.

Soft Top is "mobbed up"!

The Red surfboards running Thruster, or even considering running Thruster, is full unmitigated retard. The least the Blue surfboards could do is shitcan Ms. Valley Girl if Soft Top is the only electable Blue board. Like I said above, it’s saddening that Soft Top is the most viable option, no way he makes it through 5 more years.

The GOP who you could credibly call "the Red surfboards running Thruster, or even considering running Thruster" are the rank-and-file. There is zero high-level-party-control apparatus at work here. This is democracy working perfectly. The big donors are now sitting on their hands, having surrendered trying to prop up his opponents and failing. Thruster has raised more money off under $200 donations than the rest of the GOP field COMBINED.

IMHO Soft Top is not the only electable Blue board. Everyone except Hillary, Bernie, Pete, and Pocahontas are electable Blue surfboards. But nobody is beating Soft Top in a primary, and rocking the boat with a primary, or by heaving Coconut Valley Girl, is not remotely close to worth the risk.

After the 60s the inmates had enough and took over the asylum. The only effectual muscle-flexing we've seen by the parties in the last 20 years was Klobuchar and Buttigieg both dropping out after Brandon won South Carolina and started to consolidate the non-crazy-Bernie vote. I am not sure what Klobuchar got; Pete B obviously got the Transportation Secretary gig.

All kidding aside.........What risk though? What do Blue surfboards have to lose if they Primary Joe Soft Top? I don't think they have anything at all to lose. It might even be their best hope.

The risk of pissing off the challenger's supporters so they don't vote? The risk of pissing off Soft Top's supporters for having the nerve to challenge him?

Remember Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, the PUMA thing? Party Unity My Ass?
There were some seriously pissed off middle aged white women.

If you ditch Coconut Valley Girl because she's a political albatross, you risk pissing off the most (D) demographic in the country, black women.

Every single Never Trumper/Blue board I've talked to over 65 gets very offended by the mere suggestion Soft Top has lost a step. More Seniors support Thruster than Soft Top, but they vote at very high rates. Someone who is 40-something calling Soft Top a potato will surely keep some of those voters home or send them to Thruster's side.

IMHO part of the advantage of incumbency is the person you are running against just got done pissing off part of their base.

I like Soft Top and I think he has done a pretty decent job, especially in the area of foreign policy where he has rebuilt alliances and restored respect in America from our allies. BUT, he made a colossal mistake picking Kammie as his VP.

He was supposed to be a one-termer, the steady veteran who would restore sanity to the Presidency after 4 years of that menace of a raging lunatic Thruster. After his term he should have passed the baton to his heir apparent, the VP. But Kammie is (IMO) unelectable, she's extremely unpopular. I think he made his original decision based on her 5 good minutes in a debate at his expense, plus she is a black woman, which would appease the identity politics crowd, plus she's basically center-left. But it hasn't worked out, and the Dems are stuck and don't have anybody else in the on-deck circle. So Joe is running again, even though he's clearly too old.

Bottom line, if you’re happy and afoaf is happy, I’m happy. It’s your age group that is most affected by this.

You didn’t name any of the electable Blue surfboards that you’re speaking of, just who isn’t. I haven’t seen any of the nameless trotted out for the 2024 beauty pageant here on the erBB.

That’s what I’m talking about. Exactly.

It didn't play out that way. He didn't all of his own just come up with Coconut Valley Girl. It was a corner he painted himself into, publicly, in slow motion.

In the primary, he was the hair-sniffing creep who pal'd around with Segregationists and had his hands uncomfortably close to young female children's nipples in Senate photos when he was Obama's VP.

To shore up support/enthusiasm among he made a promise his VP wouldn't be a white man.

That basically left Loretta Lynch, Susan Rice, Catherine Cortez-Masto, a couple House crackpots like Maxine Waters, Corinne Brown, and The Squad - some of whom weren't even age-eligible, and some people from Georgia like Keisha Lance Bottoms and Stacey Abrams.

Only a couple of those names are remotely plausible for a VP pick. Lynch I don't think even got a call, CCM noped the F out, Susan Rice said something the GOP didn't like on a Sunday show about Benghazi so that was the end of the world at the time, and the only person left standing was Coconut Valley Girl.

I'm not happy until Elizabeth Warren has chopped off all of their heads!
