Over the past four weeks, Democrats have had the wind at their back since President Biden announced he would not be seeking re-election and endorsed Vice-President Kamala Harris to take his place. Harris' selection of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate has kept the momentum going as has been reflected in recent polls.
Will the momentum halt at the DNC slated to begin tomorrow in Chicago?
I'm not talking so much about the protests outside of the convention hall although they could loom large. Rather my concern is the small contingent of "uncommitted" (read: pro-Hamas) delegates on the convention floor who believe the Biden-Harris Administration has been too pro-Israel. Calling themselves "Delegates Against Genocide", they intend to exercise their "freedom of speech" during the course of the convention.
How is it going to look if these delegates see fit to heckle former Presidents Clinton and Obama, former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, President Biden, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, VP running mate Walz and Harris during their speeches? And what of Harris' husband, Doug Emhoff who is Jewish?
Not very good unless they sternly rebuke them along with the majority of the delegates does the same along the lines of what Harris did earlier this month in Detroit.
However, what I fear is that Democrats will mollycoddle these so-called "Delegates Against Genocide" (who support the genocidal Hamas) as Harris did in Arizona following the Detroit confrontation.
Given that these delegates have deemed Harris as "Killer Kamala" she and the Democratic Party should stand firm against those segments of the party who are not amenable to compromise or reason much less co-existence with the Jews.
Unfortunately, what I would like to see come to pass should such a confrontation occur on the floor of the DNC is likely to be different than what ugly reality is likely to emerge. That ugly reality could give Donald Trump new life.
