Just win, baby!I’m starting to think if they win he’ll have been a good pick, but if they don’t then maybe someone else might have been better.
Oof, that's an endorsement that could really hurt Walz.
This could be something that came up when Harris vetted Walz. Makes sense that they would release it after all the initial excitement of the announcement and first rally had died down a bit. Or maybe it's just good journalism.Interesting that this has been leaked now. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess it wasn't Trump's side that leaked it.
Declined the gig.Steve Martin
Interesting for Arizona...
Source, please?Harris is currently outpacing the last three Dem presidents re: the white vote.
It was a screenshot tweet, I'll try to go back & find it.Source, please?
Thank you.It was a screenshot tweet, I'll try to go back & find it.
It's in here. It's 'since Carter,' I misread the paragraph...

If there's a debate, the Harris campaign should invite some of them to sit in the front row, just as Trump carted out Bill Clinton's accusers to mess with Hillary in 2016.

Needs some work (e.g. showing some empathy with the suffering in Gaza), but I find her response strong, logical and decisive. It’s either her or Trump.Hmm. Needs work, I think.

The long wait for the crowd to cheer and for the protesters to respond was a great move.
This is a more polished Harris than what we saw 4 years ago.
I mean Mogadishu has some pretty nice beaches tbf.

It’s hard to say she is more polished now than before when she hasn’t given any interviews and all of her public appearances are highly scripted and choreographed. She still has a lot of work to do in terms of actually telling people what her policies are.
Yeah, I can understand the reticence and there's plenty of time but at some point she's going to have to take the plunge. As much as Trump self immolated at the Black Journalist's Panel at least the guy is putting himself out there. Even if she just starts with softball interviews I feel like she should do something to hone her message in more intimate environments. It can't all be stump speeches to crowds. Perhaps she's trying to hold out till the convention.
I think she's doing exactly what she needs to be doing now. This isn't a full election season. She had to raise vast amounts of money quickly. And she has done that in record time in record numbers. She had a couple weeks to get the right VP and make all the deals she needed for endorsements and keeping the party together and no huge splits.It’s hard to say she is more polished now than before when she hasn’t given any interviews and all of her public appearances are highly scripted and choreographed.

I like the look of Walz, come across as a very much an every day american as well as being a good public speaker.

She has to hammer these battleground states HARD while doing all that. Her momentum has been through the roof. With less than 100 days left it is imperative to hit all the battlegrounds fast and often. And reach as many as possible. Then you also have the DNC week that will eat into that travel and facetime too. Then if they do a debate or more that's another few days or week of prep. That CANNOT go wrong if a debate is on. And they will be ready to pounce on ANYTHING. While trump can lie and be as racist as he likes and barely get touched.
Should she give a few interview yes sure. But, she has the momentum she has ads all over the airwaves I mean she's spent a clear fortune with ads all over the Olympics coverage all day long here.
Her answer to those protesters are spot on. Be angry care about the war of course. They know damn well if trump wins he isn't going to give a shit about Gaza.
She has to be more than almost perfect. She makes a gaffe or misstep she will be eaten alive like she was wearing a tan suit. Democrats have a far higher bar.
I don't think that she is doing that though. I fully expect policy speakers etc at the convention for sure. The convention needs to have all of that. Policy, unified message. Speakers that can reach all of the voting blocs. Yes no argument she should also be doing interviews soon. Especially now with the full ticket in place. I dont think its some huge shady deal though like some seem to think.Its fair that she's on a condensed timeline, but that doesn't exempt her from telling the public what her actual policies are and allowing the public to evaluate them. Otherwise there's no point in running if no one knows what you're planning on doing once in office. Trump is obviously far worse, but that doesn't mean Harris should be playing the "you will vote for me, because the alternative is Trump" card.
but I find her response strong, logical and decisive. It’s either her or Trump.
Biden is a pretty proud man. Do you think he’d willingly humiliate himself on the debate stage to make the switch believable?I’m pondering whether this was the plan all along. It seems too organised.
Essentially dupe Trump and co into thinking they’re running against Biden and then have him drop out and the Republicans being caught with their pants down.
Maybe let the campaign release the platform before attacking the policies you're imagining?So another candidate that is not based how great can be as POTUS but on fear of how shitty the other candidate is. Just put a lettuce and say "vote the lettuce or Trump is coming". She can basically play the Trump card (no pun intended) everytime that she doesn't have arguments on her shitty proposed policies.
It didn't really seem very organized.I’m pondering whether this was the plan all along. It seems too organised.
