The almost universal response to Marine Le Pen’s electoral victory has been “How can the National Rally be stopped?” Shouldn’t the question be asked: “What are the voters trying to tell us, through the due process of democracy?”
Maybe it is the money. The Democrats expected to have an overwhelming cash advantage, which would help them get a literal corpse over the finish line. But then the NY verdict blew up their thinking and almost overnight Trump has more money than them. No problem think the Dems, we'll go back to our big donors to top up, but big donors don't want to pay for a corpse to be President.
And she will win in a landslide. Record turnout. And don’t dare question the results. Don’t want to be accused of being some sort of election denying Raycist threat to their democracy
I don't see how they can just walk away from all that money. They may not want that, but she's got them over a barrel. Very puzzling, as it doesn't seem to have been thought through. Maybe they thought they could buy her off. OTOH, she can probably get rich off a book deal if she loses.

No 2 ways about it--politics is about money, and money talks.

"Mercouris, currently in Germany, believes that this dynamic is especially a factor among younger voters."
Yes, I saw this article today that reinforces that idea:

Wonderful to think (for the sake of the young) that their future does not belong to the current EU elite and the Davosians.
Sundance wrote today that it will be Kamala as per BHO and Jim Clyborn.
If it is Kama Sutra you're going to see Barry barnstorm the nation like never before.

Puzzling that they kept her on the ticket.
But maybe that was Team Biden's insurance policy against the 25th option and other shenanigans.
Shell have to be careful about her VP pick for the same reasons.
I think a telling question is who will "they" install as her VP? The one ready to pick up the baton if need be🤔
That's negotiated through both houses of Congress I believe.
Yes, forgot about that.
