You know Vice President Kamala Harris has something going for her if former President Jimmy Carter, 99, now in hospice, will vote for her.

And why not?

With fellow Democrat Joe Biden, 81, who looks like he’s headed for hospice, out of the way, Carter will no longer be considered the worst president in modern history.

That honor will go to Joe Biden.

So, Carter, who will turn 100 on Oct. 1, is supporting Harris out of gratitude for joining the Nancy Pelosi/Barack Obama cabal that threw old Joe to the curb.

Or at least that is what his grandson Jason said.  Early voting in Georgia, where Carter was once governor, begins on Oct. 15, “I’m trying to make it to vote for Kamala Harris,” Jason quoted Jimmy Carter as saying.

Georgia is one of a handful of states that will play a crucial role in the upcoming election. And while Carter may not have much of a constituency left, who knows?

Besides, Donald Trump is in an ongoing feud with fellow Republican Brian Kemp, the governor of Georgia, whom he once supported. The feud goes back to the 2020 election when Biden carried Georgia over Trump.

Trump is the type of leader who not only burns bridges behind him but blows them up as well.

This all means that with Biden shown the door, he, like Carter, will be a one-term president, and not a very good one at that. Carter, president from 1986-1980, will begin in retrospect to look better.

While the economy back then was in the dumpster and inflation was through the roof, there were no wars going on as they are now.

War and weakness were the touches that Biden brought to the presidency and the world with his pathetic and deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan. That set the tone for his presidency.

The main political difference between the two is that the voters turned Carter out of office when Republican Ronald Reagan soundly defeated him for reelection in 1980.

In Biden’s case, his friends — or former friends — befuddled him, not the voters. While largely unopposed in the Democratic primaries, Biden did get 14 million people to vote for him and was guaranteed the Democratic Party nomination.

Harris, his crowned replacement as a candidate, was not on the primary ballot and got no votes, just as she got no votes in the 2020 presidential primaries after ending her presidential campaign early.

When Biden announced that he was not seeking reelection but would support Harris, he looked like his family was being held hostage off camera.

Now, he is the lamest of lame ducks, and the country and the world wonder what, if anything, his replacement as a candidate and possible president stands for.

That has not stopped two former Democrat presidents — Bill Clinton and Barack Obama — from endorsing Harris’ candidacy.

They know what she stands for, and that is the continuation of the progressive policies of the Democrat Party establishment — from open borders to appeasement — that they espouse even though the policies have hurt the country.

Also, they know that a Harris presidency will depend on advisors from the Obama and Clinton wings of the Democrat Paty, just as Biden’s presidency was.

If you look at it this way, the country has six still living former presidents — four Democrats, if you include Biden, and two Republicans, Donald Trump and George Bush.

All four Democrats — Carter, Clinton, Obama, and Biden, have endorsed Harris.

The two Republican former presidents are split. While Trump endorses himself daily, Bush has remained silent.

Like all past presidents, Bush is on the other side of the bridge that Trump blew up. It is the way Trump rolls.
