Would seem to be consistent with Trump losing a bunch of votes in every primary to Haley. Not impossible that diehard Trump cultists are excited about Trump, but absolutely no one else is?

Every time Biden gives an interview he loses a few more percentage points in swing states. Time for Joe to pass the torch.

Dems should absolutely be pounding away on it with embellishments in the same way R’s are running with “post-birth abortions,” etc. The MSM isn’t going to push back on either side, it would seem, so go for broke!

Harris needs an editor (who is not a lawyer) in the worst way.

Replacing Biden with Coherent Candidate X immediately puts Trump’s (alleged) dementia front and center in this campaign, with mental fitness as a prime disqualifying issue.

It’s because the actual quotes are from her pals Jason Miller and Matt Gaetz.

Anecdotal, but it seems so much of the BidenHarris2024 correspondence features Kamala the past few days.

I’d settle for being able to attend a robust Women’s March-style protest through DC in a few weeks, to start.

“The media” is going to be attack dogs on both her and Biden regardless. Which one do you think has a better chance of pushing back against those attacks?

Every conversation with my Trump supporting coworkers always starts out with “taxes! and gun rights!” and three beers later it’s “There’s too many Mexicans on the Mets now.”

It’s a four month sprint to convince <5% of America that Kamala is whoever they want her to be. Have to pull women from the R column and limit AA defections to Trump. She can do that.

She can simply say that she disagreed with Biden about inflation/Gaza, inherit every bit of the anti-Trump antipathy vote, and be sharp and energetic at rallies and the debate. Mollify AA and younger voters that hate Biden. Wins all around.

Time to pull the ripcord on Biden and find a big normie white guy to serve up to “swing voters” as Harris’ VP. What’s Tim Ryan up to these days?

Sure, but for Obama (of all people!) to anticipate or expect any semblance of decency or decorum from Republicans makes is inexcusable. Think about the racist sliming Obama endured from them at the highest levels.

We should have been in the streets protesting for Garland. Will never understand Obama’s lack of urgency on that, when it was time to pull the alarm

There's this weird thing happening when someone says "I'm voting for Biden because I want us to still have elections long after he's dead" and people equate that with "Biden is awesome and I agree with his actions regarding Gaza"
