Democrat powerbrokers refused to allow any challenge to Joe Biden for their party’s nomination this year. Now that the country has seen his cognitive and physical frailty on display, the party elite pushed him out of the race yesterday in a move fraught with political and legal landmines. In withdrawing from the race, Biden also announced his endorsement of Kamala Harris for president.
Yesterday, we asked readers if they thought Democrat voters would take the bait-and-switch and support Harris in November.

Here is a sampling of the comments we received from our readers after they voted in the survey.
“It doesn’t matter what name is on the ballot, DJT’s running against the Democrat machine. And it will stop at nothing to retain power.” – Cindy Armstrong
“Democrats would vote for a mushroom (again) as long as there is a ‘D’ after it.” – George Rodda
“Too many people would vote for an eggplant if it had a (D) after it on the ballot.” – Kermit Heaton
“I think the ‘sheep’ of the Democratic Party will vote for her. But I’m betting that the open convention is going to be a real circus. I’ll be watching with my popcorn.” – Dawn Gerstenberger
“While the Democrat Party is ‘saving democracy,’ they are making sure their voters have no voice in whom they want for president. And like good little sheep, democrat voters will do as they’re told, and like it.” – Cheryl Alexander
“Truth is not a left-wing value. They will lie to their own people to achieve the power they desire.” – Brent Shutt
“Kamala Harris will almost certainly not be on the Democrat ticket for POTUS in November.” – Harry Hingst
“Democrat voters have always outworked Republican voters. They understand what it takes to get and keep power. Democrats harvest ballots, walk neighborhoods, organize, and spend their weekends working for their candidates so that they’ll win. They have created a well-oiled machine. Democrats work hard to win Presidential and local elections. They’re extremely focused. Republicans complain online, vote for the President every four years, pray, fly a Trump flag or banner, and go to rallies. Only one side truly wants to win.” – Catherine Buschold
“They have to vote for Harris. She was a DEI hire. They can’t turn their back on her now, no matter how awful she is.” – Heather Hunter
“Once we see Democrat leadership (Soros) endorse Kamala, all the rest of the clapping seals will follow right along.” – Chris Breaux
“the same voters who aren’t smart enough to see that Joe Biden isn’t fit to run our country will be equally blinded by Kamala’s lack of ability.” – Bernadine Pearce
“Their motto is ‘vote blue no matter who.’ Combine that with the fact that they hate Donald Trump so much, the race is going to be a tough one. They don’t care how wildly unqualified Harris is, she is not Trump.” – Jennifer Hyland
“If the democrat voter was willing to vote for one incompetent politician, I am confident that they will vote for this other incompetent politician.” – Dennis Scharp
“While I think Harris is ‘dumber than a box of rocks,’ Dems will vote for her because it’s the party, not the person!” – Hamila Hobson
“The bigger concern should be… Will the 80+ million supposed voters be fooled like they were in the 2020 ‘elections,’ and continue to believe in the lies fed to them by Democrats and their Propaganda Ministry, the MSM?” – John R. Makow
“While the Democrat hardliners will most certainly vote for Harris, I believe the sentiment of your question asks how many otherwise faithful Democrats will just stay home. I think that number will be—for those of us who truly care about the country—a welcome disaster for Democrats.” – Roger Taylor
“I think Democrats will rally behind Kamala Harris, and she will pick Mark Kelly as her running mate.” – Kim Brittain
“I think there are some democratic politicians that would like to challenge Harris, however, out of threats, intimidation, and fear of suicide to their careers, they may choose to be silent.” – Cindy Kelley
“Don’t get comfy. There may be more to the Democrats’ bait-and-switch scheme.” – Mike Smith
“Democrat voters will do as they’re told and gladly follow along like the sheep they are.” – Tina Bartley
“They only care for the power, not values or fixing things!” – Gary Reeves
“Given how they swallow Democrats’ talking points then try to spread the nonsense, I’m sure they will be like lemmings and go over the cliff voting for Harris.” – James Davis
“Give Democrats some ability to judge situations properly. Many of them understand that Kamala Harris is poison for the party and the country. A dark horse will emerge to be the next loser. After a year and a half of cramming Biden down America’s throat, voters will not be kind to ANY Democrat candidate.” – Arthur Potter
