The vice president told a crowd of roughly 20,000 in Dallas that former President Donald J. Trump had said he would terminate the Constitution in a second term.

“Consider: Donald Trump has openly vowed if re-elected he’ll be a dictator on day one, that he will weaponize the Department of Justice against his political enemies, round up peaceful protesters and throw them out of our country and even, and even and I quote, ‘terminate’ the United States Constitution,” Ms. Harris said.

    Oh wow, I’m really frickin tired. They weren’t in a row. My mind jumped from 2016 where Hillary Clinton already had control of the party’s assets to 2024 and 2028. Sorry about that.

      No problem.

      I won’t go so far as to say 2016 was rigged, but the DNC definitely tipped the scale for somebody who already was going to get the nomination regardless.

      The fact of the matter is, Bernie pulls more support from independents than he does centrist democrats. He proved that the left is taking over the party, but we aren’t where we need to be yet.

        He also proved that the party will fight tooth and nail against the left but then just expect to win without trying against the right.
