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
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.
What this really seems like is "If you chicken little idiots think you're going to get a Newsowhitmepritzker out of this, I'm here to throw ice fucking cold water on that."
I absolutely don’t think it’s an endorsement of her taking over.
I was looking for space of him not declaring that moving away from Biden was unthinkable. He’s one of the most important people for Biden. He lets in light others could join.
As I said, this was more focused on passing over her.
