I recently did a post on how the media was promoting the theme that Kamala Harris was the chosen one. Some of these pundit clowns were even churtling about how she has been laying low and out of sight which is typical of nominees right before the announcement which is alleged to be this Saturday- according to the pundits, such as they are. I will tell ya what though, I still smell a whiff of Susan Rice in the air, and it is not pretty. Obama, Mooch, and Valerie Jarrett are Sleepy Joe's primary handlers and they are in the tank for Rice. Joe might go against his handlers but I have never seen that before so that would be something new. Susan Rice is a stronger candidate than Skankala so that will piss me off if she is nominated, so I would be plenty happy to see Skank selected. Typhoid Mary Rice is a target rich environment too of course but she is quite a bit brighter than Skank and can hold up under pressure and lie through her arse for months without unraveling the way Skank did in the primaries.
Susan Rice is a woman of gravity. She’d run circles around anyone on this board in foreign policy and affairs. And she could hold her own in those subjects with anyone in the world. Those are true statements. What she lacks is pop appeal. She’s a true nerd. Kamala Harris has pop appeal, so does Trump in his own way. She creates more excitement and positivity around her. My two cents is Rice is the more prepared to actually be the president but Harris helps the ticket more.
Her appeal has always been that she checks all the boxes and should end out being the recipient of everything that dem votes want to project on to her even if she does have what they want. Problem is, checking all the boxes gets her off to a good start but then the sizzle wears off her steak. The "pop appeal" that you refer to is there at some level but she just does not connect or collect votes, including black votes, the way the package is supposed to. Look no further than the the dem primary for an example of that. People just kept wanting her to be more than she was because she checked all the boxes but she ended sort of worn down, not much of a showing, and cackley like Hillary and confused about all of her conflicting positions. I hope he chooses her though. Maybe Kamala the Cop on the ticket is just what the protesting left needs to see. OR NOT.
I wouldn’t count on voters being turned off by Kamala. She fits well with in the VP slot. The good news is it won’t be too much longer now. Biden said he will announce his running mate in the first week of August.
"She fits well in the VP slot." Fine and dandy. As long as Joe knows that. If Joe does not agree to that, then, well, she does not fit so well. All things considered, she is pretty stupid. Typhoid Mary is sort of all set either way. If she does not get VP then Joe will take care of her anyway, especially if they take the senate too and she can become Secretary of State
