    This observation by Lee Drutman feels important:

    "Two things are different about American politics in this moment, though. One, because of Trump’s coalition (more rural, more rust-belt working class, and therefore over-represented in the Electoral College), he can still plausibly win with just 46 percent of the popular vote. Second, because of the power of partisanship, Trump doesn’t have to be popular. He just has to be less unpopular than his opponent in a handful of key swing states."

      Yeah, a month ago I was certain it was going to be Amy Klobuchar and now I doubt it will be anyone who used to be a prosecutor. And I'd bet 50/50 it's going to be a black candidate at this point.

      I think Kampala will be test marketed again. I suspect secretly this is who Biden hopes can survive (her own party).

          I suppose. Speaking personally, I am confident that I will never hate a president as much as your typical TDS sufferer hates Trump. For that matter, I don't think I have ever been personally acquainted with anybody who hated a president as much as TDS sufferers hate Trump. I think Trump is the all time great head exploder.

          Education is extremely important.

              t will never happen. It makes way too much sense. Besides, I don't think she'd take it.

                  It does not make sense at all. Not because Ms. Rice is not a good person or is incompetent, but because if Mr. Biden cannot complete his term, Ms. Rice will succeed Mr. Biden as a Republican President. It makes no sense for the Democrats to take that chance.

                    Kamala Harris I could see... although <puts on flame suit> she is not African American. I think her dad is Jamaican and her mom is Indian.

                            I’ve always said Obama is half white. Usually just to see the woke other person’s reaction. 🙂
