Given his completely transactional nature, I wonder if Trump would be willing to clean up the Constitutional provision leading to so-called "anchor babies" in exchange for repeal of the Second Amendment.

Maybe, but there goes his bucket list item, shoot someone on Fifth Avenue .  Having a Seal team do it for you just isnt the same.
not to mention both are illegal

Illegal? Yes. Prosecutable for Trump is the question.

Well, no. Since the order would not be carried out.

That is an assumption I am unwilling to share. It only takes a couple of lackeys in the right spot.

Pretty clear that Biden thinks fighting to a bitter end is better for his Legacy than resigning.
What it means for his party is not so clear.
It is also not a vote of confidence for Kamala

The chat with G-steph was disappointing.  I saw someone who had the kind of unwarranted confidence that signals some loss of self-awareness.  It adds to the feeling that the DP machinery has become corroded and unresponsive.  I held back expressing this back in the primaries - solidarity and all that - but Biden seemed to me to be entering a Weekend at Bernies stage all this past year.  He had enough momentum and life wisdom to get him through a first term, but no more.

I think Biden feels.he can still do the job and is the Dem's best chance to  eat Trump. Whether he is right on either of those two things is very much open to question. Things like his debate performance feed into an existing narrative and are really, really hard to undo.

I think that it says nothing about his faith in Harris, but everything about his combativeness. He would do the same regardless of his Veep.

Note: I appear to have hit the space bar instead of a B, but I am keeping it in.

Agree.  I have Irish-Am relatives who consistently held onto their inner pugilist all through their lives.  I cant tell how much is DNA and how much is just a culturally transmitted thing, but have only seen it ended by either death or severe depression.

Eating Trump - rich, marbled meat am sure!

It means the millions of primary voters will not be over ridden ina back room deal. Also means Kamala Harris is the Vice President.

Poor Republicans half desire a Harris candidacy and half dread the same.

It is July 8

There is room for discussion but no need to hurry for a decision,
