I agree with the premise, but to a degree.
I think they are floating Kamala.
She was the path of least resistence.
She is VP and they can’t be seen as passing over the VP (who is also a woman and minority, just in case you didn’t know. heh).
If she doesn’t get a substantial lift in the (INTERNAL) polling in a few weeks, they will have plan B ready to go.
Calamity Harris will definitely stay “on script”, the Dim’s convention will be a battle, I agree with blitz128, AND that Plan B is “Big Mike”.
“Big Mike” doesn’t “present” very well today, but all she has to do is WIN, and Obama’s FOURTH administration will sink this country.
Yep. Path of least resistance.
Harris was picked because Democrats understand that normal Americans like things orderly, regular, and by the book. Also, when they ripped off the bandaid by removing Biden, they wanted it done as fast as possible, as soon forgettable. His veep is the only logical substitute.
They can’t do it twice. Beyond her there’s no logical substitute, there’s only chaos at the convention, plus a threat to their hold on the campaign funds. That won’t do.
With Harris they might be able to market her enough to make the steal credible — a close loss to Trump, and a steal of a couple of battleground states. That’s their best shot.
With anyone else, they’d lose all credibility and Trump would be looking at 400EV, meaning they’d have to shoot him again and that’s kinda problematic too.
Plan C or, perhaps D if you count Trump’s attempted assassination.
