He is just a really weird, deeply flawed, irrational clown.

I thought it was Warren Beatty.

Clintons back Kamala Harris but Obama does not commit

Joe Biden and several influential Democrats backed the Vice President – but then her hopes of a smooth coronation took a blow

Could well be strategic. There has obviously been a lot of news today and Biden giving her his blessing was the most important initial step. Let it play out a bit and then Barack backs her in a day or two and it gives the news another bit of a boost. Better to drip feed than get it all there out at once. It’s only been a few hours since the news broke and nothing is being decided quickly.

Which describes so many in politics. He’s just further along that spectrum

Just like it was hugely embarrassing for Trump to lose to a mentally unfit Biden in 2020, it'd be even more humiliating if he can't defeat an already unpopular Democratic candidate ushered in during a chaotic period where the current President has been ousted from the card against his will.

If he does lose again this time, Trump must surely fade quickly into obscurity.

No surprises he’s already setting up the debate dodge

I sense some kind of 'reform' type entity. The irony being the republican nazi's are the same pint of weak piss that the democrats are, neither showing able to step in and oust a problematic issue.

"Let it play out, my hands are clean, I'm alright Jack!".

Trump would never drop out but you would love to think about the possibility of at least ATTEMPTING to return to some semblance of normal governance if he did one way or another.

She'd be 35 by election day and (obviously) when sworn in -

setting that aside - heads would explode and Trump would win.

And we can't have that.

Just need a rule for retirement age exclusion now.

This media length* measuring is obscene. There's millions of homeless, veterans in the gutter, children going without yet somehow the narrative is how winners get money so easily.

When did political capital become about the deepest pockets and the most unscrupulous? Is this the very definition of capitalism sewing the seeds of it's own destruction? Seedy, sordid, scurrilous, shambles.

When you meet your enemy on it's level, be not surprised you are unprepared.

sad.

I was just thinking about that. Vance v Harris would be fun.

Even if Trump wanted (i know it is impossible) to step down, barring his death, he cannot not be the nominee right? since their convention is over

Sat here, across the pond, it feels like the Dems are just getting going, and the Trump moment deflating.

Right-wing misogynist-trolls (there at least two who post here on GOT) are at work (sigh):
