CHICAGO — I guess I didn’t expect a coup to end with a balloon drop.

Vice President Kamala Harris accepted her party’s presidential nomination on the final night of the Democratic National Convention, and things were not just peaceful but downright ebullient.

I’m confused. The GOP’s always-honest presidential nominee Donald Trump has repeatedly said that Harris replacing President Joe Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket was a coup, an attempt at a “vicious, violent overthrow.”

Trump recently said of Biden that Rep. Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats had “threatened him violently” to step aside.

So, not to sound rude, but I was kind of expecting the DNC to end with a bit more … you know … violence. Maybe a public beheading or two. You know ‒ coup stuff.

Instead, we got a balloon drop. I guess the balloons fell a little violently, but I saw no evidence of injuries, and Biden wasn’t publicly........
