anyone who thinks harris is gonna get an easy walk from the nation’s newspapers and editorial boards if she were to become the nominee is absolutely lying to themselves
I'm fully supportive of her candidacy if it happens, but 1. if they do it, she should become president, too, & 2. that doesn't mean I'm going to pretend it's without difficulties
The whole thing is just asshole pundits who want to be fiction writers, preferably getting optioned for movie rights.
I think a whole generation of political writers' brains were broken by Joe Klein and "Primary Colors".
Really, though, the most important thing is that they're actually being very disciplined in all of this. Like, the panic is among big donors and media shitheads, actual governing Dems are all but perfectly in step.
Mostly. I saw today some dumbass congressman in TX stepped out of line, called for him to step down or whatever. I think Biden should invite him to the Oval for a chat.
Still yet, all I see is a news cycle that's the worst since Biden left Afghanistan, if not since Her Emails, with absolutely nothing comparable ever hitting Trump, even when he was convicted. If I were Harris I'd be avoiding that maelstrom however I can.
I broadly agree with you re the freak out but Clyburn isn’t the type to just say things like that off the cuff. Not when everyone is looking to him specifically for dirt. We’ll see, obviously.
Are these not two different things?
The clip I see is referring to an MSNBC quote from today (I presume) whereas this is a quote from a USA Today interview Friday.
Strong agreed.
On further reflection the question is more how would you feel about going around Harris; rather than how would you feel about a decision by/for Biden to leave.
