    A Republican group is challenging Harris ballot access, citing Dred Scott decision.

    Trump just says she has no right to run.

    Are you talking about the Fred Scott Feline Symposium?

    What would the Republican Party be saying if Harris was a convicted felon?

    Nope. No cheating involved.

    But if you want a real scandal, she wore a tan suit a few days back.

    So, certainly nobody voted to have JD Vance be the VP nominee. Suppose for a moment that Trump wins, dies, and Vance becomes president.

    Is that cheating in your book? He'd have become President (not merely a candidate for president) because *one* person chose him.

    By contrast, having 2000 or so party delegates choose Harris (to be a candidate) is far more democratic.

    Sure it was.

    Biden stepped down. The voters in the primary voted for him and Kamala to be the nominees again. His delegates went to the other person on the ticket with him.

    There was a process. There was a convention. She was confirmed as the nominee with overwhelming support.

    Democrats are not upset, nor do they feel she unfairly got the nomination.

    That's debatable. Until the convention, the party doesn't have a nominee. And, if you're going to say, "He was forced out by the powers in his party," realistically, this happens to a lot of candidates in every election cycle -- this just played out more prominently. And how many times have legislators been compelled to change their positions and vote against their conscience because a power in the party threatened them with being primaried or losing a committee position? It's pretty much the same thing.

    After that, the real question becomes "So what?" Are Democratic voters upset that Harris is the nominee instead of Biden? It doesn't appear that way at all. Do independents mind having this choice instead of Biden-Trump? Doesn't look like it.

    If you're not a Biden voter, then your opinion on this really doesn't matter. It just comes off as sour grapes.

    It never is. That's how the DNC works.

    The DNC got Joe elected and the DNC pushed him to retire. Neither is wrong, its what two dominate parties do...
