The Worst Part? The Democrats Can't Use the 25th Amendment

[Eupher]

Interesting take on things, but it assumes a fair amount:

• McConnell can rally all 50 senators -- I'm not buying that, especially with Romney, Collins, and Murkowski in the mix
• On that basis, confirming a new VP doesn't leave the Dems "stuck" if Mitch can't rally the troops

Interesting analysis.

So, Kamala Harris becoming the President via the 25th Amendment means the Democrats lose their tie-breaking vote in the Senate, and without a 51st vote, there is no way for the Democrats to break a tie in the Senate in order to confirm a replacement Vice President. They are effectively stuck.

But the question is also whether or not the Democrats even want Harris to be in charge. Her polling is absolutely dreadful. There are a lot of whispers in the background about her being unable to even run a political office. The Biden team doesn’t seem happy with her, Democratic leadership is staying silent about her, and the media is not even trying to cover her out of fear it would make her look worse (and, given her track record, it absolutely would).

But how could this happen to the smartest people ever?

This is what you get when you select a running mate purely on the color of their skin and what is between their legs so that you can score a historic "first" rather than basing your selection on actual qualifications.

Harris was built-up to be some badass intellectual 'church-lady' California Kim Fox individual...

Well, the build-up worked.  'Cept now they see they're stuck with a foul-smelling, cardboard-thin mountain-goat with no idea about what's doing and why it's doing it.
