It’s actually surprising to me that I haven’t seen much talk of what VP she would choose. I wonder if there are people secretly working on that. Such crazy times!!!

After reading an article about scams/fraud, I had a conversation with my 86 year old mother about not answering unknown numbers. She said, “Of course I don’t do that!”

Anyone know how accurate pollsters were in the recent UK/French elections?

That’s not exactly the point. Her political instincts are very good. Why did she pass up the opportunity to quell this talk?

I generally agree with that. But Pelosi’s comments this morning certainly don’t support that argument

There’s definitely some not small group of Americans who are addicted to the drama. It seemed for a while we, collectively, were happy with boring but that’s not so clear anymore.

No. Because no replacement VP will ever get through the House which will leave Johnson in charge of electoral vote counting

Yah, that one has surprised me. I do understand his general point of view. But the degree to which he’s espousing it really doesn’t sit well with me. Nobody knows if changing horses will work…at least be honest about the risks

I think many ppl tried quite hard to get Feinstein to retire. And she wouldn’t. It doesn’t much matter what we push for if that person won’t go (elections aside).

Thanks for the answer. But I still can’t get my head around caring about one group of disaffected people so much more than an innocent country being invaded by an extremely dangerous and powerful neighbor.

What if Biden punked the media by repeating a direct, crazy quote of Trump’s as if it were his own? Wait for them to pounce and expose the double standard.

I have issues with Silver, for sure. But just to point out, he made his name (at that point it was only a handle) by correctly predicting race after race in the Obama-Hillary primary. It was crazy accurate. He’s just gotten too big for his britches

I wonder if such lawsuits might backfire. Trying to prevent the opposition from running its candidate would appear unseemly to many.

Others are saying that without House and Senate confirmation, Johnson would effectively be VP and in charge of electoral vote certification.

I definitely agree that there is no evidence his administration has suffered due to his age. But I am also at least somewhat convinced that there is no way to turn the narrative around given what it would require of both Biden and the press.

Thus the point someone else is making which is that he can’t resign and go through that perilous process. Need Kamala for the electoral counting. He can only drop out. I just keep thinking about how any system, no matter how good, can be gamed with enough time and bad faith.

But that’s why it’s perfect. Only one side will do that. And even if Dems decided to do something like that, SCOTUS gets to decide it’s not “official.” It’s Calvinball

If it were even possible, changing candidates would signal so much weakness and create so much chaos that it’s hard to fathom a good outcome.

Being aware of foreign policy means reading newspapers/being involved. Those people are inherently more likely to vote. There are always exceptions but generally speaking non voters are not high info.
