  1. You say that like your Passenger Princess (TM) and kids passing out for 2 hours while you get jacked up on Dew and knock out some serious mileage to Charley Crockett is a bad thing.
  2. He's on the ticket unless he resigns. VP is the only person Trump can't fire.
  3. This look was my fucking jam back in the day.
  4. Harris' biggest weakness is not electoral, it's actually administrative. Here office is a bit like Selena Meyer (or it was in the first 18 months): Toxic and dysfunctional. But that can be overcome. Pick a strong COS/Campaign Chief and let them run the day to day, and focus on the prize.
  5. Part of it is the media loves to sell shiney, impractical shit, and you need names, so we will see lots of people who it won't be for a variety of reasons: Warnock, Whitmer, Kelly, Newsom, etc. Short of a Dark Horse we haven't heard of (like when Karen Bass almost snuck in 2020), it's almost certainly, at this late stage, one of 4 people: Brashear, Buttieg, Cooper, Shapiro, with maybe a Midwest Governor like Tim Walz lurking. Basically, run the background on everyone, make sure there is not a live boy or dead girl, and pick the one that you think gives you the best chance to win. If it's Cooper or Shapiro, dispatch them to their homestate and tell them to shake every hand and kiss every baby between now and election day.
  6. JFC. Mark Kelly occupies a swing seat in the Senate the Dems have to hold. It isn't going to be Mark Kelly. Or any other Senator who the Dems might not be able to easily replace. It just won't be.
  7. Sadly, actually reading it is going to be like dragging sand paper across an eyeball. He may get the best access, but Bernstein was the writer of the two.
  8. It’s gonna drive Trump insane he can’t get a drop of media coverage for the next week.
  9. Seriously though: there need to be a series of Sherman-esque statements from Whitmer, Newsom, et al in the next 24 hours.
  10. Convention is in Chicago. Somebody dig up Norman Mailer, use a revival spell, and let’s do this thing!!
  11. Stop feeding the troll.
  12. Im def not the crowd for it, an maybe I’m gwnerally out of tune, but I’m finding this speech weird, mawkish, a bit off putting? I kind of prefer my Trump spitting fire and not acting like he’s a bridge builder.
  13. This. It’s the reverse of Minnesota or New Mexico being in play. If that’s true, Trump will sweep the Midwest and SW
  14. My wife has been on two progressive calls this morning. Lot of smoke pouring out of the White House.
  15. My issue with Shapiro is he's smallish. I'm a bit with Trump on liking my Politicians to look like politicians, and that means some height in men. And I say that as a manlet. Luckily Harris is short, as is JD Vance.
  16. Prolly some anodyne Southern Governor like Andy Brashear, Roy Cooper, or Jon Bel Edwards.
  17. Literally ran this play on my mom at one point. Old age is hell.
  18. Shit. If you can competently read off a teleprompter, you've doubled Biden's capacity right now. Being able to speak in complete sentences without notes is Einstein level stuff for the Dem Candidate.
  19. As I understand it, this is more or less correct. The money issue is much simpler with Harris.
  20. once he's nominated and accepted, the only way to get him off the ballot is for him to resign the Presidency, if you want to avoid the ballot complications. And he'd have to do it around Labor Day, I'd think. Short of a full blow rebellion with MoC boycotting the convention, Cabinet Secretaries openly calling for the 25th, Obama and Clinton publicly calling on him to step aside, Donor's bailing in giant numbers, I just don't see Biden leaving. They've convinced themselves they are the comeback kids. They aren't even talking to much of their campaign at this point.
  21. It's fine. Happy to suffer through another Trump Term. Just as long as Joe, Jill, Hunter, and Ashley don't have to get the feels.
  22. As much as everyone keeps talking about the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago, it's going to look like a different Democratic Convention in Chicago: 1956, when they nominated Adlai Stevenson to get slaughtered by Eisenhower.
