  1. Romney's problem has never been lack of class or personal virtue, he's just stuck in a world view that's a couple of centuries out of date, so he's terrible on too much policy.
  2. If you step back to a longer view what appears to be happening with the orchestrated transition to Harris in the US is quite similar to what happened in France in that people are coalescing around the need to stop an existential threat, and making the kinds of concessions to that cause that you probably wouldn't see in everyday politics.
  3. I imagine Biden made a lot of calls before he put out that letter. Someone suggested that they could get it all orchestrated in advance and I remember saying I was skeptical that could happen without more leaking. Maybe the Dems are more disciplined than we give them credit for.
  4. And I haven't even sent mine in yet....
  5. Wait, what? I thought he wasn't going to debate. The Winds be tricksy around the GOP encampments today.
  6. If Harris accepted Spencer for Skubal he should be shot out of a cannon to manage an independent league team. 23 in AA striking out >30% of the time and no particular power? Really? He's basically Parker Meadows. I love Parker but I wouldn't trade Skubal for him.
  7. How hard can the GOP work the border issue in the face of the GOP refusal to move reform? The issue was already playing badly for them after the bill failed.
  8. Costa misspelled "Republican"
  9. gee, I don't find it funny at all.
  10. But it's Trump, he doesn't believe he can lose at anything.
  11. I have no idea what the polls will do with this, but Trump will get a lot of pressure from the GOP to change his mind if the GOP does find itself losing ground now.
  12. If they have a sense of theater and he is going to be a team player, he puts her name in nomination at the convention.
  13. The one other thing for Harris is that she has to work on being more the 'Happy Warrior.' Americans don't like to vote for dour people and Kamala can tend in that direction.
  14. That was why Hillary kept Bill sort of at a distance, though I'm not sure that in her case the idea that it would be Bill's 3rd term might not have helped her overall....
  15. Hurter has just given up 6 in 3 IP.
  16. another ridiculous game for McGoniClark: on base 7 times, 4 RBI, 4 runs scored.
  17. Out of likes but this is an excellent point.
  18. Like she’d let him. 🤣
  19. Tigers just a day late and dollar short today. Can't quite get the ball over the fence.
  20. zero government management experience? No, just no. Great lady, not prepared.
  21. 4 yrs ago I think she had real problem with not having thought through all her positions clearly before she went on the campaign trail. We can only hope that having been part of a pretty well oiled policy apparatus for 4 yrs she's more up to speed with all the angles.
  22. the problem is that she has been a relatively low-profile VP so she hasn't provided much recent material to work with. I haven't heard anything out there like Al Gore's "I invented the internet" stuff.
  23. One aspect: If Harris had to be a rookie president and run at the same time it would be a lot more strain on her than if Biden stays in place.
