An unconventional week in presidential politics

Published 2024-07-21
The impact of this past week's Republican National Convention - where wrestling stars and former critics came to honor former President Donald Trump, whose 1.5-hour acceptance speech dwelled on familiar grievances and left some attendees dozing - is up for debate. At the same time, President Joe Biden continued to resist calls from some Democrats and donors to drop out. CBS News chief election & campaign correspondent Robert Costa reports on signs of unity and disarray on the road to Election Day.

    We truly are living in the worst and DUMBEST possible timeline.
  • One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast. 4 People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?”  The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies .."

    Three options: 1. Dems could pay the Big Guy to release the delegates. 2. Dems could agree to put Jill Biden on ticket with Kamala. 3. Dems could have Biden speak at a rally •••
  • Stop promoting Biden’s leaving the presidency, he has done his job very well and will continue to do do. My God Democrats grow a spine. You have an excellent examples to follow Jasmine Crockett and Pete Buttigieg.

    CBS and the rest of the Biden media is very sad and stressed out

    Anyone notice the opera song at the end and what it’s connected to? Considering we were told Donnie controls the music it’s def raising eyebrows…… The story line to The Sum of All Fears is about a presidential political figure, figuring out who tried to assassinate him and promising vengeance. The final ending scene has the same opera song.
