Team Biden [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-06-29 Here is a possible way out of the trainwreck the Democrats experienced with the Debate. Half want Biden to drop out. Half want him to keep fighting. This is not what the Dems need while the Nazi Trump Juggernaut steams foward. As of today, Mr Felon is declaring victory and getting ready to hang some gold drapes in the White House. Dems need to change the story. HOW? Reschuffle your team, putting them where they can get the most bang for their skills. Each has unique assets that need to go where they give the biggest bang for the buck. 4 years ago it worked for Harris as VP. Here is a suggestion that could easily create a Blue Tsunami in Nov. Fact. SCOTUS is a mess and corrupt. Attention needs to be drawn to it. Fact. 2 or maybe 3 SCOTUS will be up soon. Dems need to be in Control in 2025. Why not grab a seat now? Mitch McConnell did. Karma Kamala might be the answer. Fact. Biden is old, polls badly, and Harris does even worse. Biden is old but very good. Harris is a lawyer and a good one, being the former AG of California. Politics is not her schtick. Here is the Game Plan 1. Sotomayor resigns for health reasons and /or in disgust and in protest over SCOTUS games and their attempts to rewrite the laws to their religious views. . This will be huge news. She resigns the day of Trump’s crowning, or the day after. His media glory would be sucked away to on Sonya Sotomayor. 2. Harris asks Biden to name her to be the SCOTUS choice a few days later, keeping the story in the headlines over Trump. Obviously qualified. A positive big news story for the Dems. Besides another black woman on the court, an Asian woman too, and former AG of the largest state in the union. Talented. Schedule the hearings for the fall, so again, Trump gets prempted in the media with hearings all about…. abortion…. and SCOTUS. Get all the GOP Senators, especially Ted Cruz, sneering at Harris on camera. ( luring Cruz into abusive questioning might just be what Collin Allred would need to get him past Cruz on Election Day too.. another win) Women will be glued to the hearings getting angrier by the minute, and being reminded they better get to the polls. Harris would be the perfect soldier to lead them and the media off to SCOTUS LAND. Putting Harris on as a lifetime appointee would drive the GOP mad and a big thorn in their ass for years. All this would be happening in the fall, taking away media attention away from both Biden and Trump. Less pictures of Joe not being perfect to be the headline so less pressure for him to be perfect to the press which will be zeroing in on him now. . Perfect for sucking news from Trump. too, which will drive him crazy. .The media goes after the ball thrown by the Dems to chase… the HARRIS SCOTUS hearings. 3. Biden picks Pete Buttigieg as VP to replace the Harris vacancy, Another HUGE media positive for the Dems. GOP will be shitting bricks, as Trump will at this point be the nominee. Biden/Buttigieg. JOE/PETE The Silent Generation choosing the most qualified Millennial in the country to be under his tutelage. This is Hollywood stuff. Everyone respects Pete. (the moderate GOP in the last DOT hearing last week were all thinking him. He slew the MAGAS and they went crawling into their caves. He can explain the Biden accomplisments better than anyone, and he can even do it on FOX and leave them all drooling and speechless. He is fluent in Arabic… helping heal the GAZA divide in the Dem party. He lives in Michigan, a swing state. He has a HUGE network now of local infrastructure people he has meet and networked with from handing out billions of dollars. Dem and Rep mayors love him. He would get the McCain and Nikki voters. He is a veteran. He speaks 6 languages. Slayer Pete. When he graciously bowed out and endorsed Biden after winning Iowa and coming in 2nd in NH in 2020, Biden said Pete reminded him of Beau. Do you think Pete as his VP would give Joe some energy running with the guy, campaigning with him and being on stage with him? I do. Everyone loves Pete. 4. TEAM BIDEN should be how it is rebranded. A qualified Millennial as VP to a qualified older incredibly sucessful president and a killer team. Since Americans love sports analogies, anyone with any doubt about Biden’s age would be reassured after hearing Pete have his back. Get Taylor Swift to be part of TEAM BIDEN too.. to endorse the new team lineup at TEAM BIDEN. Maybe do a fund raising concert to introduce them, and of course texting everyone to get to the polls. Again, you would have mass news coverage over 1.the resignation, 2.the choosing of Harris,3. the choosing of Pete, and 4.the SCOTUS hearings in the fall. Trump who? Let Trump try to out do those.. and all positives, to create enthusiasm where there is none now...realign the Team vs Joe stepping down. Middle ground compromise :) Tsuami in Nov with abortion on the ballot in many States. Joe/Pete, with Kamala on SCOTUS for life ( or she can resign in a year if it isn’t her thing Opps! .
