Democratic Disarray - October 2025 Edition

Kamala Harris announced that she might run for President again in 2028.

The party is thrilled.

The Republican Party, that is.

Kamala Harris ran the best campaign she could have run in 107 days, but her best wasn't good enough.  That's because she wasn't good enough as a candidate.  Voters and donors had made that clear during her first presidential campaign in 2019.  (She didn't make it to 2020.)  She likely wouldn't have been the nominee had Joe Biden announced his withdrawal as a candidate for re-election sixteen months earlier than she did, and, as Steve Schmidt recently pointed out, she saw Joe Biden up close and personal and should have intervened to get him to acknowledge his fragility and his decline before he set out to run again.  

Again: Harris should not have been Vice President.  She should have been Attorney General, not Merrick Garland.  She would have been more aggressive in going after Trump than Garland was.

And just to show you how screwed up the Democrats are overall, consider their genius in fighting gerrymandered redistricting in Texas.

You might recall that, this past summer, Texas Democrats in the state legislature took buses to Chicago (the Chicago bus station is show above) and holed out there during the effort to pass a redistricting plan in order to deny the Republicans a quorum.  After only a couple of weeks in Chicago, the legislators returned to Austin because they had made their case and let the plan pass, vowing to challenged the new district maps in court.

Wait, what?

Texas Democratic legislators would hve had to stay in Chicago until early December to force the Republicans to withdraw the plan and attempt to reintroduce it in 2026.  One Texas Democrat explained that the legislators would have had to make numerous sacrifices to stay in Chicago that long, and it would have been impossible for them to be away from their families for so long.

Right.

You know, if these people had been involved in the Western Front campaign in the Second World War, we'd all be speaking German.  "We can't stay in the Bastogne to fight the Nazis in December; we have to be home for Christmas!  And Junior is in big basketball game the Monday before!"

These are the Democrats?

Nuts.
