<li>He didn't actually make the decision on his own. Pelosi and Obama pretty much forced his hand through the donors and leaks. His fundraising was down 75% and his polls were trash. I would bet that he was threatened with the 25th Amendment if he didn't step out of the campaign. There are going to be tell-all books about this in a few years. </li>

<li>Commentators are wrong about Harris. There is going to be a fight there, because Harris is a manifestly bad candidate. Also, the fact that Biden is now effectively admitting to being unfit has had the predicable outcome of opening Harris up to attacks based on their record. Basically, the Trump people are saying that Kamala was the puppet master for Biden's administration and that all his failures fall on her. It took less than an hour from Biden dropping out for this ad to start running in PA, WI, and MI. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6kUEVtApwg&ab_channel=TheFirst" rel="nofollow ugc">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6kUEVtApwg&ab_channel=TheFirst</a></li>

<li>Whitmer saying that she isn't willing to run this year is the equivalent to how, up until about 12 hours ago, the Biden administration was still issuing statements that they look forward to beating Trump in 2024. It's a politically-expedient open lie. If she thinks that she has a chance of winning as VP, she's going to pick that spot every time. </li>

<p>Liberty is inherently more dangerous than not having liberty.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>That's just a duh.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>And every liberty is abused to the injury and death of the innocent.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Liberty and safety cannot coexist.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>And when you restrict liberty on the basis of its abuse, liberty doesn't exist, and criminals dictate what liberties innocents may have.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The reason we established government was to better protect the rights of the innocent over anarchy.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>For the government to then hand those rights back over to the criminals is dereliction of its first duty.</p>
