Vp pick needs to be whitmer. Two women ticket and go all in with women’s right to choose. They need all those suburban moms to oppose and expose the right’s message and stance.

She's very unpopular with young people and progressives because of her prosecution record. I don't know a single person who thinks of Kamala other than "Copmala"


Not being facetious at all, if Taylor Swift endorses Harris enthusiastically, I think the younger voters would turn out in droves. I’m not a TS fan, but no denying the influence she has.

And, I don’t think people who believe a woman without children is “less than” would ever have voted for Biden or Harris in the first place.

Finally, I think that people aren’t going to remember the chaotic time between the debate and today, as long as the party coalesces around Harris. Sounds like they are. News cycle moves fast.

It's true that Obama hasn't publicly said anything about who should replace Biden.

He just released his formal statement about 15 minutes ago and he did not endorse anyone or even mention Kamala. Not sure if he’s trying to appear neutral or he really doesn’t think she’s the right choice.


Given she is VP, this is tantamount to an anti-endorsement:

"We will be navigating uncharted waters in the days ahead. But I have extraordinary confidence that the leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges."


I think Obama’s phrasing is targeted and ultimately regrettable. I think the inclusion of this language, to be -this- pass-agg pointed so quickly, is a real mistake on his part. Disappointing. But not surprising.

I think a female attorney general versus a hush money felon is a great match up!

Good point - I hadn't thought about it that way. The ad just writes itself!!!


Idk. That is not going to play well with a lot of important voters that already don’t trust the system. This is an ad that would appeal to wealthy white liberal women (which is what I assume you are) but I do not think will play will with groups that have a lot of good reason not to trust prosecutors.

Ohhhh no it's not - not in evangelical circles. And I don't think Trump surrogates will be able to stay away from the issue. Trump/MAGA already have a problem with women. This is not going to help. Can you imagine Donald Trump choking out the words that's it's perfectly fine for women to make the choice not to have children. Not to mention the evangelical reaction to that. Very rock and a hard place position here.

? Evangelicals wouldn't vote for a Dem anyways, so moot point.


Not a moot point. Trump has a problem with women. If you have Trump surrogates out there attacking Kamala Harris for being childfree you aren't turning out women who don't want to vote Dem but are on the fence for the GOP. And if the GOP/Trump try to distance themselves from this POV you start losing the evangelicals. Trump has already made the hard line abortion folks angry.

By and large this election isn't about winning large swaths of voters over. It's about maintaining your 2020 support and undermining the support for your opponent.

Let me see if I get this straight: Evangelicals will be stumping for Trump by saying that Harris has never had any children of her own and doesn't know what it's like to juggle being a real mother with working, while Trump has never changed a diaper in his life, and never had to try to juggle parenting and working. And that will win over on the fence women voters?

Did I get this right?

Any women with any self respect would support Harris after such an attack.


Trump is not winning the women vote.

That alone is a massive turn off to a huge number of voters. She's never known what it is like to be a mother of her own kids and had to make sacrifices to make a career and family work.

A presidential candidate who doesn't have kids is just unelectable in this country. It's the way it is.

I believe this is the stupidest thing I’ve read yet on this thread.

+1 let's be honest, MAGA would rather vote for a rapist, criminal, 3x married swine who cheats on his wife while she's pregnant, than a woman who's never had a child, as if that's sooo important to being a POTUS. As if Trump has ever changed a diaper or had to juggle parenting responsibilities with working for a company.

In all fairness, Kamala had an affair with a married man with 3 kids. And married man who helped her get ahead in her political career.

In September 1958, Brown married Blanche Vitero, with whom he had three children. He has four grandchildren and a step-granddaughter. According to a 1984 New York Times article, Brown and Vitero separated amicably in 1982.[80] James Richardson, a reporter for The Sacramento Bee, said of Brown, "The measure of his flamboyance is he'll go to a party with his wife on one arm and his girlfriend on the other."[81]
Brown also has a daughter, Sydney Brown, with philanthropic fundraiser Carolyn Carpeneti.[56]
From 1994 to 1995,[82] Brown dated Kamala Harris, who worked as an Alameda County Deputy District Attorney at the time and was 30 years his junior. In 1994 Brown appointed Harris to the state Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and later to the California Medical Assistance Commission.[83] Their relationship gained renewed attention in early 2019 after she had become a U.S. senator and ran for president.[61][62][63]

Yeah, no. They need a white guy somewhere in there. Everyone understands this.

I suspect those who bleat "DEI" also had no problem voting for a VP who needed five mediocre colleges and six years, just to get a communications degree.

Funny how you can be some GED felon and get votes from the same people who think Justice Jackson is a "DEI" hire. But sure, no racism involved in your thought-process while we see the buffoons who get elected on the right.


Defending DEI and blasting its critics mindlessly as “racist” is just not the centrist platform the Dems need right now to turn this election around.


It isn't about defending it, it's about pointing out the extremely low standards required of WHITE politicians on the right while in the same breathe as calling anyone non-white a "DEI" hire.

That you called it "mindless" when anyone with even two, functioning brain cells can see the racism from those who attack it, is your limitation.

The same people who think Boebert is qualified to be in Congress, think Jackson has no business being on the SC, despite the fact that she is more qualified than several of her white counterparts. Tough sh*t if you can handle the glaring hypocrisy from the right. We all see it. The Obamas had to be the "Huxtables" while Trump could get away with being Bill Cosby. Spare me your inability to see the cancer of racism being the entire reason someone as disgusting as Trump IS the Republican party. That stupid man wouldn't know the constitution if Madison used puppets to explain to him. The moment he used racism was the moment he galvanized the party. Mediocrity for one race, rules the GOP and has for a long time. It's why someone as unqualified as Dubya became president. It's why a moron like Palin got to be a nominee. The GOP has NO standards.


Boebert was voted into her current position. Harris couldn't even win a primary for President. How will they credibly argue she can win swing states?


I don't think Harris can win. I'm the one who said I dislike her. I simply don't like her, but that doesn't change the fact that the GOP is a f***ing joke when they talk about "DEI" when their party is full of people who are the reason dry cleaning bags read: "This is not a toy." Where in the hell does ANY Republican get the nerve to talk about "DEI" with the morons they elect and nominate? Dubya was a C/D student who got into two of the most prestigious universities in the world. Palin was an idiot.

The GOP doesn't get to mention "DEI" when they vote for ACTUAL affirmative action candidates.


29 year old Kamala did have an affair with a married man who helped her with her political career.


That should win over some Trump voters. Or does she not have enough affairs on her resume to impress the Republican base?


Trump cheated on every one of his wives, so you're a hypocrite to speak about "affairs."

Also, it should be noted that Kamala Harris's political career went far beyond the reach of whatever political influence he had which speaks to the fact that she got to where she is on her own merits.


English sure is a a tricky language to decipher, ain't it?

Oh wow. That’s not good.


He may have wanted to acknowledge Biden separately from praising his replacement.

Give the process time to play out.

Trump? Harris was a DA. He should be s**ting his depends. He is old and really inarticulate. He should be worried but like most US born white old men, he is completely overconfident.


yep.
