Re: It's HARRIS! - 2 days ago

The rumor on Twitter is that Trump will dump Pence "because he bungled the coronavirus" and replace him with Nikki Haley. That way Don will have a minority woman, too, who as we know are interchangeable and means everyone will vote for him instead of Biden.

LBJ got dragged down by Vietnam because he was trapped between a rock and a hard place, not wishing to follow the desires of the hawks but also not wishing to be perceived as a dove. So he muddled around in a kind of middling piddling way that was doomed to failure. Biden is obviously not going to putz around like that when it comes to this pandemic. There isn't a "safe" middle groun

I’d posit that a few weeks ago most people had never even heard of Karen Bass. I agree. I think this is the wrong election to try to introduce what is for most people a new name. The mood of this election is We Don't Want Anything New. We Want to Turn Back Time.
