While that path carries risk because Harris’s poll numbers are nearly as lackluster as Biden’s, she is popular enough among Democrats—particularly among women and Black voters—that casting her aside could cause resentment and division within the party.

Something the Dems can’t say out loud is that going with Harris at the top of the ticket will likely expose the reluctance of many Democrats to support a woman of color for President.
Now WE might attribute her lack of support to Harris’s patent vacuity; leftism; lack of engagement/accomplishments as VP; dearth of executive experience (she can’t even run her own office or campaigns); inability to debate (remember that Tulsi Gabbard demolished Harris’s Presidential run in five minutes); etc.
But DEMOCRATS can’t say “it’s her, not her race and gender” because in Dem ideology, doubting any black woman’s qualifications is racist and sexist by default. (Especially since the Dems’ standard for white presidents has been “dementia patient”). Their only choice will be quietly not voting. Some will split the ticket, but millions will just skip the whole election, leaving downticket Dems up a creek. In the aftermath, the woke Dems would be very unhappy to re-awake in a party that has not left Robert Byrd so far behind. The non-woke Dems will be unhappy that having Harris forced on them solely because of race and gender led to losing power.
Fine fix they are in. It’s breaking my heart...
Keep dreaming.
Kamala Harris is widely disliked in the Democratic party and even by her staff. Her public manner is odd, with schoolgirl giggles and sly appeals to race. Nevertheless, unless Harris did not want to run, she is the near certain replacement for Biden.
It’s all about the money. Biden has a huge war chest that would only go to Kamala…anybody else the Dems might appoint wouldn’t get it. It would go to the DNC and not the candidates’ campaigns.
“That’s a CNN poll. Remember, the media is designed to further State supported propaganda. “
Thanks. Didn’t hear the source of the poll. CNN polls are trash.
Nope, My bet is Joe Manchin.

Respectfully, I don’t think so.
I don’t think there is anything constructive GOPers can do or should do, barring some dramatic surprise development.
Everybody on earth saw Biden. I honestly don’t think there is anything to be gained by making any commentary about him/it.
Harris got something like 1% when she ran for president. Black and a woman, there is nothing to be gained by harassing her. She is not liked. And I do not believe Black people consider her Black. My belief is that women, who should be her natural fanbase, know the type of woman she is: domineering, manipulative, and they don’t like it one bit.
I could be wrong on all counts. I honestly don’t think there is a smidgen of gain to be had criticizing either one of them.

*Black and a woman, there is nothing to be gained by harassing her. She is not liked.*
*I could be wrong on all counts. I honestly don’t think there is a smidgen of gain to be had criticizing either one of them.*
Disagree. SHE’s wrong on all counts. Top it off by saying “I don’t give a damn if you’re black!”
Obama will choose who will run for present.
The internal Democratic polling is showing about a three point move to President Trump according to one source.
We should get more detailed polls to compare by the end of the week.
You don’t have to get a source and talk about alleged internal polling.
It was published.

July result, 49/43 Trump. April was the previous poll with that methodology. Also 49/43 Trump.
The Swamp Filth Never Trumpers on FR are horrified at this. The debate didn’t change the numbers and so Biden will stay in and Trump will beat him. The debate event did not affect the polling.
SHE’S NOT ELIGABLE!
Come on. If she’s eligible to be VP she’s eligible to be POTUS.
I would still wait a week or do.
The dust has not settled yet.
Or three or four.
I just heard his campaign schedule announcement. Lots of meetings this week and a press conference late in the week.
He’s going to look just fine and undercut the efforts to remove him.
All very very good news for Trump. Eat the clock.
I consider the future much more uncertain.
Dementia never sleeps—and despite the most heroic efforts at staging and drugging Biden he could do something wacko without warning.
This is like Russian roulette for the Democrats.
The next bullet could be nothing at all—or the real thing.
If they want to keep Biden functioning in the normal range for the next few months they should get rid of all the political aides and replace them with nurses who are experts at dementia care.
