One thing that gives me "pause" on this election....

Obama has come out in the last couple weeks/month to campaign for Harris and my worry is he would not spend his "political capital" on someone who he knew was not a sure winner. He did this with Biden knowing it was in the bag. Same thing now with Harris? He knows what's up and is banking a winner?

I think Obama is trying to save some of his political capital personally. If he sat at home and did nothing, the dems would accuse him of delivering Trump. And it would appear his value has taken quite a hit the last year or so.

Or he could be making a last ditch effort in trying to protect his political image and clout from waning when Trump is president. It's not like Obama is out there propping up Harris but propping up himself. It's telling to me that he and Harris are not campaigning together but I also understand why he isn't because some of the answers she has, or has not, been coming up with with be embarrassing as hell for him being on the same stage as her.

The thing about political capital is that you have to use it or lose it.

Obama has been president for the past 12 years...you think he's gonna give it up...If Trump gets in this time, assuming he puts the right people in place which i think he will this time...he's going to tear it all down.
That includes any inkling of Obama meddling in DC. All presidents in recent history after serving their term(s) have moved away from DC and fallen into peace and obscurity...Obama buys a house in Kalorama Heights...less than 15 min from the Capitol building.

I think their hold on power is fragile right now and they know Trump can burn it all down.
On the flip side…if she wins, it’s over for this country as we know it. They will cement themselves.

True, but that was when they thought they could easily win and now they have to resort to stealing. "Ears" is not going to do anything which does not benefit him.
My other thought is if they know the steal is in place then they could just let Harris run around on her own but it appears they are not doing that. So?

The dems will have to strip it down for the next cycle. He will not be in charge. They will shift hard.

That's why Obama is campaigning for her. The far left should be toast, and they are probably feeling it now that they are not popular, and they are losing voters right and left. Probably losing enough that their fraud machine can't work.. This is their last hope to keep power...If Trump gets elected, they will have to move further right to win an election in the near future.

I see this everywhere, and some people give Obama way too much credit. Don't be fooled, Obama is doing what he's told to do. Same with his presidency. He's not the mastermind, he's a puppet like the rest of them.

OP you are giving Obama way too much credit. He isn’t some political genius or kingmaker.

True, but he appeals to a sizeable part of the Democratic base but I can agree his appeal may be failing...sort of like Bill?

He, just like all the other Marxist, is probably a bit concerned about what real investigative activity might reveal about him.

He has the same puppeteers as Joe, Kamala, the Clintons, the Bush’s, the Cheneys…. Need I go on?
Posted on 10/24/24 at 10:51 am to LSU4Life2021
It’s more simplistic than that. The only way he has a seat at the table is with a Democrat executive branch.
All that gray hair has come from knowing he has to count on Biden and Harris to keep his influence and I think deep down he thinks both of them are half wits

Did you forget in 2016 when Obammy was out campaigning hard for Hilldawg begging Americans to vote Hilldawg to preserve his legacy?
Hilldawg lost that election.

After the election, the blame game will start. It already has somewhat.
The Nation Not exactly a RightWing rag...
The Dem party will self-immolate. Their part of the realignment will begin.
Rs are about 15 years ahead of them.
