Well sure, I mean they said the same thing about Nikki Haley endorsing dotard and telling her delegates to vote for him. They did, right?

That should be the plan no matter who it is. The only person that couldn’t make Trump show his ass was Biden because he just couldn’t keep up with him. No matter who it is they just need to keep hammering Trump on all of his failings. After every rambling response, emphasize how much of a complete verbal diarrhea every answer Trump gives is. 

Kamala can ask Trump did he regret the justice department penalizing Trump and his father for discriminating against black tenants in their property. Then she can remind everyone that Trump took out full page ads seeking the death penalty for the central Park five who were actually innocent. Up until now he has never apologized for that. She can ask him in the debate to apologize for trying to gain support to kill those innocent black men - which he has never apologized for yet.

She can ask him will you apologize to those innocent men now and agree that you made a mistake on both things? 

He can’t do it.  he simply doesn’t have the ability to apologize or admit it a mistake.   if this comes out in a debate, this will be the first time Fox and Newsmax viewers ever heard of this.  Kamala can call him out on those things that Biden would be less effective at - for obvious reasons.

Hopefully planned since Kamala’s oddly shitty 2020 primary campaign.

Her performance as a first time Senator in a primary of 19 people is not indicative of much.

Yeah but I’m talking Clyburn, Nancy, Jeffries/Schumer, Barack/Michelle and the big contenders (Gretchen, Newsom, etc)

There’s no way that Biden pulled the trigger on all this without all the bundlers, donors, and visible party leaders all being on board with the plan.

So how easily is the existing war chest, which I understand is in the neighborhood of $300 mill, transferred to a new candidate?

The GOP will surely challenge in court, and the GOP appointed chair of the ostensibly independent FEC is already posturing on Twitter:

That said, the consensus is that Harris should be able to assume, and is the only one who could, which is a major advantage for her.

serious question: has anyone come out against Harris or in favor of anyone else?

Pretty pretty good on the consumer safety and protections. 

The airlines stuff has been tangible for me personally, and a lot of people are benefitting from these projects, maybe not Austin because most of the infrastructure here is new or already undergoing construction

Pretty sure that when he was asked to account for this, he said something like, "Well, what were they doing in the park?"  i.e. they're young black men... they must be guilty of some capital offense.

Abbott

Let's not forget the third slur in the Republicans' Kamala Harris Trifecta:  "whore".

I look forward how they weave that into the narrative (nudge nudge, wink wink)

Endorsements for Harris by dems in congress starting to roll in

And speaking of predictions, I expect rather than a blitz primary, all of the potential contenders will have endorsed Harris in the next 24 hours.

Challenge what? Primaries are private affairs.

The Democratic primary electorate is not the general election electorate. The party had to coalesce around Joe Biden to stop Bernie Sanders from winning a primary lol

Kamala also gets to keep all the money already raised and you'll see the pledges that were going to be removed if Biden stayed in become solid now. The money will be there. The money that's going to Trump might now hedge because him winning is no longer a foregone conclusion.

AOC needs to lay off social media in these regards since she's not privy to the inside information like she thinks she is. I get that she needs to keep making content but now she gets to go make new content about how much Kamala being the nominee is a good thing. Making content has to be so exhausting.

In fairness to her, that's probably how those conversations did go, until it was obvious Harris had the most support. Then everyone got whipped into shape and fell in line, and it all had to happen before Biden flipped from "I'M STAYING IN THE RACE" mode to today's letter.

As a student of history, I’m looking forward to a civics lesson on how all this plays out. Kamala is being endorsed! This is huge. So I guess the process now is to call all the delegates? Biden releases his delegates and they will pledge to her? How many does she need? Still waiting to see what Nancy Pelosi says. Will she push for the mini primary which would be huge mistake or will everyone fall in line as we all want to happen? This past 8 days has been crazy af.

I really would like to think so. But this is the Democratic party.

Court cases would go through DC circuit anyway as I understand which would likely tell a challenger to pound sand. I suppose it depends on how brazen SCOTUS is feeling.

That’s one narrative.  Another is Biden was going to win all along.  Pete wins Iowa and drops out before Super Tuesday?!? Klob pulled a similar thing with NH?! Bloomberg comes in to have Warren destroy him and her in the process… that primary was nuts… lots of storylines but the most likely outcome (Biden/Harris) in the beginning miraculously became the end result.  Dems displayed dark lord competency in that primary.

I know that. It was a bullshit tweet. But even what she said in the video looks silly now.  Kind of a 2-for-1.
