The Biggest Blunder in the History of Politics?
Some commenter on a news thread posted a comment regarding the last election that gave me food for thought.
I’ll never understand why Joe didn’t resign, making Kamala the first woman President.
Not only would the gushing media coverage of her swearing in ceremony have taken the wind out of Trump’s campaign, but as President, she would have had the perfect excuse for avoiding debates and tough interviews: the need to “hit the ground running” with a flurry of meetings with foreign dignitaries, governors, lawmakers, diplomats, SC justices and cabinet chiefs.
An incumbent President doesn’t needs to campaign at all — the nature of the job provides the kind of exposure campaign strategists dream of.
The DNC could have run out the clock until the election, creating a non-stop series of favorable photo opportunities for her without her once having to open her stupid mouth.
She would have enjoyed the “honeymoon” that every new President gets during the months leading up to the election — especially the first woman POTUS.
I was 100% certain that was going to be their play — their October surprise — and not doing that has to be the biggest blunder in the history of politics.
Another replied to him that it was because Jill would not want to give Kamala that satisfaction. Who knows? Maybe even Michelle joined in on that decision.
Just a thought.

California’s governor race features 61 candidates — including a man who changed his name to Barack Obama
ConservativeInstitute.org | May 21, 2026 | Daniel Vaughan
California voters opening their ballots for the June 2 gubernatorial primary will find sixty-one names staring back at them, a field so bloated it reads less like a serious election and more like a monument to the state’s remarkably low barriers to entry.
Among the crowd: a man who legally changed his name to Barack D. Obama Shaw, a candidate who goes by “LivingForGod AndCountry DeMott,” and a former congressman who dropped out after sexual assault allegations but whose name remains printed on the ballot anyway.
