The media keeps on spinning. We will see what happens next.We’ll see. But I truly think that will turn into wishful thinking. Unlike that primary years ago, she will have the support of her party and most of the media.

Her record as the one who prosecuted the whistleblower in the case against clinics selling baby body parts, caught on tape? Her record for record numbers of black men arrested/prosecuted? WHAT record did you have in mind?....besides, we have seen her work on the border...Ideally, she would lean in to her experience as a prosecutor. Law and order at the border and around the world. Make this election a choice between a former prosecutor and a convicted felon. I think that would sell well with the public. However, my guess is that she sticks with the Biden platform.
Kamala is already having an effect on the Democratic base. I doubt with all the endorsements she is getting Manchin has a chance.Manchin is saying he might rejoin the Dems and run. ... I could get behind him if he was the president, and I’m a big conservative. In this current political environment he would probably have a damn good chance of winning if he can get the democratic base to come out and vote.
It is a pretty good horse to beat for the suburbanites. I know women that used to vote for GOP candidates that will never vote for a GOP candidate due to the abortion issue. And most of them are not childbearing age, but take offense to GOP attacking “women’s reproductive rights” and forcing their religious views on them.The huge advantage Harris has is dredging up the old play book that republicans are going to outlaw all abortions. I’m sorry “women’s reproductive rights”
...
So Harris will beat the abortion dead horse for 3 months solid
That only works for people who are unfamiliar with her abuses as a prosecutor. That describes almost all democrats. And to be fair, probably a lot of Trump supporters, but they aren't at play here.Ideally, she would lean in to her experience as a prosecutor. Law and order at the border and around the world.

You make a good case for repealing the 19th amendment.It is a pretty good horse to beat for the suburbanites.

@Red Leg. Thank you for the historical context. It matters. I hope more Americans pay attention.It is important to have facts correct. We are not and have not provided monthly $60-90 billion dollar aid packages to Ukraine. Though had we the first year, the war might well be over and Putin would be back in his box. To date, the US has passed authorizations for $175 billion of which $107 billion actually directly supports Ukraine. The war has been going on 30 months. You can do the math. Spread over three years of four to six TRILLION dollar budgets, that isn't even round-off money.
Germany is reducing their direct allocation because of the Group of Seven loans to Ukraine funded through frozen Russian assets and EU financing. The net for Ukraine from EU sources thus remains about the same only more stable. The optics are confusing.
It is truly beyond my comprehension, other than through absolute ignorance, that even the most die hard Trump fan believes it is in our national interests to help Russia and China achieve their goals in destabilizing Europe. The Xi Putin handshake occured at the Olympics, because Xi saw the opportunity to enable a resurgent Russian military threat on the doorstep of Western Europe. The lessons of the Cold War are pretty clear that the US has difficulty focussing on the Pacific when the protection of our critical interests are divided between Asia and Europe. One could hardly find a national interest more critical to our well being than undermining that goal.
The notion that we can somehow hide behind the Atlantic was proven wrong at great cost in blood and treasure during the last century. Insuring we do not have to do so again could hardly be more obvious.
