There is no lawyer that can protect Trump from himself. We've seen it time and again.
You don't. It's the worst sort of magical thinking.
Because she's a black woman. I will always be worked up.
Deal
She's also a relatively great public servant with a promising future.
Because you wouldn't take 30 minutes out of your day to vote for Hillary.
Because the DNC was stupid and tried to placate people we should have ignored.
Valuation of STEM careers at the expense of all other professions is stupid. I'll criticize it whether it comes from tech bros or political candidates.
If her words were taken of of context, then fine. Once again, I've entertained the possibility she was suggesting tech literacy as a buttress to a legal or polisci career, which would be much less offensive. And actually pretty smart, given Zuck running circles around all the out-of-touch olds in congress.
We don't. We have two. There's just a time lag in the winnowing.
I mean, that goes without saying. Kamala Harris is brilliant.
But she's running this race as a black woman. Positive and negative. That people are.comparing a woman as accomplished and distinguished as her (lawyer - DA - AG of a date of 40 million people) with fucking Andrew Yang, is embarrassing. The misogynoir jumped out.
Need I remind everyone that Failed Mayor Pete Butt got months of positive press off the fact that..............his parents got him into a good school and.he had some decent accents
I mean. Meh. She's not the only black woman who will ever run. And she's a big flop.
She's Duke Nukem Forever.
Her campaign has been ass, and that's on her.
Like hopefully a better gay man comes along to be the first gay President than Pete as well.
Oh I see #khive taking the Bernie Bro route, lol.
So, you're for a black woman running, just not this black woman?
Gotcha.
she's not a very good candidate either on policy or ability to inspire others. that's why she's polling below Yang
That was inevitably what cost her. She couldn't keep the bump she got around the first debate.
She polled below Yang in one poll.
What y'all should be concerned about is the fact that she is the only candidate to actually critically wound Biden. Yang is a literal joke.
I may also pull for Warren, but y'all are not gonna short change my girl.
FYI I was on-board the Harris train before she ever ran, back when The Economist ran a profile article on her potential years ago. And I was impressed at her initial launch and enthusiasm. And defended her pivot on healthcare and think her plan is more plausible. And when she looked like she could dislodge Biden. And I agree a woman, and a black woman at that gets more scrutiny on certain things. And the cop stuff is generally bullshit. And I've posted about how electability is basically diet sexism racism that hurts Harris the most.
And then she flopped.
Because her campaign was ass.
So I'll point out she's a flop and her campaign was ass.
But that's probably because I'm a racist sexist.

He dropped 10 points after one debate. Kanala established the "he's not electable" debate.
She definitely showed that he could bleed. She didn't do much after that.
Critically wound by shooting up in a first round of post debate polling then proceeding to flop.
Kamala clearly has no message and her campaign hasn't figured this out. Warren, Bernie, and hell, even Yang have clear, defined messages. Biden has electability. What does Kamala have
There's the notion that when Harris was ethered by Liberal Icon, it let Biden use Reflect magic. But actually she had already started to slide and he had already regained before the next debate.
Something interesting in the NBC poll is that Trumps job approval is 43/53 but his fsvorability is 38/53. So there's a not small segment of people who dislike him but like the job he's doing. So I assume those are dumbasses who think the economy being good is his doing so hopefully when the economy shits itself next summer he losses those people.
Kamala just isn't a particularly interesting candidate underneath the surface. Her identity makes her campaign historic, but beyond that, what's really there? Medicare Advantage for all? A middle class tax cut?
We can call Yang embarrassing, but at least he's meaningfully distinguished himself from the other candidates running. You might think UBI is a bad idea but it's a good thing to have the topic broached in national discourse. Same goes for Marianne and reparations.

Exactly.
Hell, the one time he went again Warren, polling showed him winning that!
Biden is suffering from self-wounds. But only one candidate has truly clocked him.
At least he has a chance of getting to DC. I still feel like Warren's VP shortlist is really short.
don't forget racists who don't like that he's showing his power level or whatever
I feel like any of the also-rans like Gabbard could and would have gone after Biden for a cheap pop, but Harris was the one who actually did it. So hooray for her. Thank you for your service
Oh, and she fucks (or weird white kids fantasize about her fucking)

The intellectual heavyweight in the race is leading. Which is the only commonality in the last 6 (?) Dem primaries.
One could argue that his self destruction was a cue to not attack him outright. And it goes both ways. Kamala was blindsided by Tulsi and never really recovered. Every time shes confronted with that issue she flounders. She needs to be prepared if she is going to run again.
Fuck.. I hate to see this happen to someone. Especially Bernie who has a fiery passion for what he does.
I have absolutely nothing against Harris. In fact, she was (and probably still is?) my 2nd choice. I like her. The issue is...I do not understand why she wants to be President. I get why Warren wants to. I get why Bernie wants to. I get why Pete wants to. I kinda get why Biden wants to. I do not know what Harris stands for in this race. Yes, she was good at landing body shots on Biden, but she, for whatever reason, stepped back after doing that. Instead of putting her foot on the gas and going to 100 she eased off. I think that was a mistake.
I think the heart of the matter is, I don't know what she stands for, specifically. Even if I don't agree with Bernie or Biden, I know what and where they stand. With Harris, it feels incredibly calculated at all times. She's had 5 or 6 moments where she's taken a stance on an issue, then had to walk it back almost immediately afterwards. (Usually she walks it back for the better, but after the 2nd or 3rd time asking for benefit of the doubt...I gotta question some things.)

Call me naive but I am pretty surprised the WH counsel signed his name to that screed. It's been a year or so since I read Woodward and Bernstein's Final Days, but my recollection was the WH counsel there wasn't that bold. Plus, given the leaks about McGahn during the early years, I'm not even convinced he'd be on board about this.
Gonna have to google Cipallone (sic) just to see if he really is this much of a nutter.

O'Rourke is trying to make himself the gun control candidate. Which is both too late and also like there's not a huge amount of air between him and others.
He never had a clear message to his candidacy.
Most of the flops are because there isn't a clear brand or message.
"I'm a prosecutor" who cares why do you keep repeating this. Why are you running for President?
