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
If the Biden Drop Out!s get their wish they’re going to regret it like three weeks later when they see how the media covers it

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

we are in week two of the freakout and there has not been a single, solitary leak from people near harris about her considering it, it’s a dead letter

I guess the other thing is how much she wants to do it at all.

Like, I assume she wants to be president, but she might see stepping in here as dangerous for (at best) her career and (at worst) her life.

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.

Man. People are fools. "If you come at the king you best not miss" is a cliche, for God's sake. If there really is a Second Term Dark Brandon: Even Darker, some of these folks are gonna go through some things.

He's so milquetoast centrist. Lloyd is the embodiment of squish. White, Boomer, male who got yelled at over death panels in the rollout for the ACA passage.
