I just asked Governor Gavin Newsome: are you going to be the next democratic nominee? That’s his answer, while he’s glowing 👇🏽 pic.twitter.com/W3JjsNtS0h

Husk-Puppet it is.
Boy he looks oily.
We already have enough crap gavin
Newsom can neither say he is the running until Biden actually withdraws his candidacy nor can Newsom say Biden should withdraw. The people to ask the question are those Democrats who aren't in the running for the office.
I should have said oleaginous, not oily. Never miss an opportunity to use that word instead of oily.
Sometimes when you hold no respect at home, it's good to travel far away to a place where you're just a handsome smiling face and nothing much is expected of you.
Run him! He'll either spend the whole time talking about his record in CA and how he's run thousands of people out of the state. Or he'll yak on about reparations and there'll be riots in LA, CHI, & NYC. Trump will win a all 50 states and Gavin will be a political pariah.
The facile face of fascism.
Biden will need to die to be replaced on ballots in some states. So ...
You sittin' over there
Starin' into space...
"Enjoy yourself with me."
The smell of hair oil and sulfur. Kirn thinks that Gruesome is playing the role of the dutiful son - that it won't be Gavin that slides the knife into Joe - he'll be loyal to the end. The 'end' being, when he accepts, more in sorrow than in anger, the nomination, as his Democratic duty.
The direction of the money flow will tell the tale. The convention is in mid-August, in Chicago. Who else is from Chicago? We've heard from JB Pritzker already. Don't forget, VP Candidate Joe Biden was the sop given from the Chicago machine to the East Coast establishment, so they could cover their bases and assure the votes. Obama's running things, and he has been for 4 years. That's why he stayed in DC.
He’s excited. Finally he is about to become Looter in Chief of the entire world, not just Cali. At a minimum Soros will pay him a huge bonus for completing the destruction of the deplorable American Nation that is blocking a World Government that uses Powers.

Newsom's like oleomargarine, the fake butter.
The Biden-Harris campaign funds can only be transferred to Harris, not some other Dem candidate.
Gavin's hitting the Ozempic, just in case.
Jeeze. A month ago I said Newsome/Whitmer
It was supposed to be a joke, not a prediction

Agreed. I bet he also leaves a trail of glistening slime everywhere he goes.
It is so disrespectful of Kamala Harris to be looking to Newsom as the heir apparent. How dare he swan around like that! And how dare Democrats openly talk about swapping him in for Biden without even mentioning what they'd do about her. I can't stand her, but this disrespect is intolerable. And I think I'm feeling something a lot of women feel. And I won't add speak for black people but I would like to hear from black people on this topic.
It's an acknowledgement of what a horrible, pandering choice Harris was for VP.
I would like to hear from black people how much they identify Kamala Harris, an Indian-Jamaican, as one of them.
Damn, that is one smarmy looking dude.
Anywho... yes, it is disrespectful to Kamala, but I can't think of anything she's done to have earned respect. That said, don't worry, they can't bypass her. The very foundation of modern liberalism is built upon identity politics. Biden isn't going anywhere.
Regardless of what Democrats and pundits want in the coming months; short of a President Harris, we have President Biden for 6 more months. In that time, we have a war in the Middle East, a war on the European continent, and Chinese fighter jets circling Taiwan. I can speak for myself and say I'm not "enjoying it".
If Biden can't stand trial and can't run for the nomination in a couple of months, because he can't make it through a 90-minute debate; he is unfit to be President, and you need to explain how the Vice President is unqualified to take his place.
And I think I'm feeling something a lot of women feel.
Would you feel the same way if they were talking about swapping in Gretchen Whitmer or some other equally worthless candidate who happened to be female at the top of the ticket? It's a woman thing, not a Kamala-has-earned-her-spurs thing, right?
Maybe they could promise Joe that if he steps down they'll still keep Hunter on as a bag man.
Kamala is a complete disaster that makes Biden look good. She was probably picked by Biden as assassin insurance. Seems the 1963 slaughter in Dallas still casts its long shadow.
But give her her due. She has suffered so much…er no.
"this disrespect is intolerable"
More intolerable than seeing her picked as VP in the first place?
"And I think I'm feeling something a lot of women feel"
Since women's feelings determine electoral outcomes and cultural trends, that has to be taken seriously.
But here's hoping Joe hangs in there--best person for GOP to run against. And if not, here's hoping that Kamala will carry the torch, for women! for blacks! for Asians! for Brahmins!
Boy he looks oily.

Ms. Althouse, or do you prefer Professor. Please tell me this is sarcasm. It walks the knife edge so perfectly I can't be sure. If it's not sarcasm, I have to ask you what Kamala Harris has done to warrant respect.
Of course, I also have to ask what did Joe Biden ever do to warrant respect. Occupying an office doesn't entitle one too much respect in my book. There are a lot of judges who deserve contempt, but I wouldn't show it to them in their courtroom. I'm past the time when I feel I should respect the office if not the occupant.
I don't always try to be polite to everyone I reply to on this blog, but when I reply to you I aspire to being respectful because this is one of the most varied and thoughtful forums on the internet. Thank you for that in these contentious and troubled times.
I agree with Althouse on this. It would be a disaster for the Dems to throw Harris aside for a white male.
It will either be President Biden or President Harris running against Trump in November.
Kamala would be
Apsaras[1]: 7 [2] (Sanskrit: अप्सरा, IAST: Apsarā, Pali: अक्चरा, romanized: Akcharā)[3]: 116 [4]: 78 Khmer: អប្សរា)[5] Thai:นางอัปสร are a member of a class of celestial beings in Hindu and Buddhist culture[6]: 24 [7]: i [8]: 52 [9] originated from Narayana, the ancient myth of India.[10]: 421 [11]: 240 They were originally a type of female spirit of the clouds and waters, but, later play the role of a "nymph" or "fairy". They figure prominently in the sculptures, dance, literature and paintings of many South Asian and Southeast Asian cultures.[12]
The apsaras are described to be beautiful, youthful and elegant, and are said to be able to change their shape at will; literally anyone will fall for their beauty. There are two types of apsaras—laukika (worldly) and daivika (divine). They are great in the art of dancing, and often wives of the gandharvas, the court musicians of Indra. The apsaras reside in the palaces of the gods and entertain them by dancing to the music made by the Gandharvas. The 26 apsaras of Indra's court are each said to symbolise a different facet of the performing arts, drawing comparisons to the Muses of ancient Greece. They are also renowned for seducing rishis in order to prevent them from attaining divine powers. Urvashi, Menaka, Rambha, Tilottama and Ghritachi are the most famous among the apsaras.[13][14]
"And I think I'm feeling something a lot of women feel."
If only men voted, Trump would already be president. This is a very important point. If they lose women the Democrats will simply lose. Women must must must turn out.
Normally governors make for good presidential candidates.
There's a big problem with that right now- especially for the demoncRATs.
Every single demoncRAT governor during the covidiocy fully demonstrated that were domestic enemies of the Constitution as they trampled over individual rights like they were meaningless. For Newsome, the firs attack meme, for it will be in meme form not attack ad, will be a picture of the lone surfer being arrested by multiple cops- with the caption- "America under Newsome".
For Whitmer, a display of paint chips from any paint retailer- "Under Whitmer- your choice is white."
Every demoncRAT governor has something like this that can be easily made into an attack meme. Republicans have several governors who did much better. Kristi Noem the best, but she's prone to shooting herself in the foot.
By the ay, the new 95 second ad Trump released that consists of nothing but Biden talking with Trump on the other side of the split screen is brilliant.
Newsom v Biden: Oily vs louche
I thought he was great as Caesar Flickerman in Hunger Games: Mockingjay.
If you go with Althouse’s (I’m paraphrasing)’I don’t make new tags lightly’, the “Biden drops out” tag is a ______ what’s the word I’m looking for there?
Since when are politicians a respectful bunch, particularly when the levers of power and money are on the line. It’s dog eat dog all the way… Both Rs and Ds are pit bulls when need be. Best to lower expectations re Kamala.
I'm getting a Barzini vibe from that grinning Newsome.
He'd better be careful going up courthouse steps...if you get my meaning.
"The Biden-Harris campaign funds can only be transferred to Harris, not some other Dem candidate."
That's why the VP will gladly pay Jill $10m in bitcoin for Joe to drop out.
Hillary is tanned, rested, and ready to run and avenge the "stolen" 2016 election. And maybe in her mind the 2008 election. She is the only plausible replacement who would not raise a strong ruckus by the Kamala partisans. All 7 of them.
Gruesom is much like Claire McCaskill in that (oleaginous) respect. McCaskill was known for leaving an oily residue wherever she sat or lingered for over 90 seconds.
Ann - I would be outraged as well... but everyone can see how horrible she is. She is completely unqualified for the position. Not as a woman - but as a PERSON.
My sources say Kamala Harris is furious. Direct quote:
I’m the VP. Did you ever think about that, huh? Did you ever ONCE think about that? "Send Kamala off to do this; Send Kamala off to do that." "Let Kamala take care of some Mickey Mouse border somewhere." "Send Kamala to pick somebody up at the airport." I'm your VP and I’m being stepped over. I can handle things! I'm smart! Not like everybody says... like dumb... I'm smart and I want respect!
Kamala, if you’re invited to go fishing, don’t go!!!
I thought Althouse was signalling, clamouring for Biden to drop out, and now that the likelihood is finally within shouting distance, she wants some kind of dignified pomp and circumstance ceremony? I don’t understand.
Dropping out and everything that happens during and after is not pretty. A lot of people are going to get their feelings hurt.
If indeed Biden cheated his way into the White House, dropping out of the race to stay there for 4 more long agonising years is, not instant, but the karma we could hope for… at this juncture.
House of Cards (UK) -
Urquhart: If he were...persuaded to retire, would you be interested in taking his place?
Patrick Woolton: Bloody hell, Francis. You don't mess about.
https://subslikescript.com/series/House_of_Cards-98825/season-1/episode-2-Chapter_Two
Could dropping out buy Biden… bye bye, oh my gosh I love this English language, buy Biden some good will from prosecution?
I don’t know if Trump has a dark side like that. I don’t think he does.
Biden dropping out could be bad for Trump. Very bad. Very very bad.
Biden-Harris = joke.
A sick joke where we are all paying dearly to house and employ their illegal entrants.
Democrats likely are mentioning what they'll do about Kamala, but not yet in public. Regarding issues of proper respect, I'm not qualified to opine on those due to my gender and racial status, apparently. I will observe that passing over or firing a DEI person is a potential minefield that I have no expertise with.
"It is so disrespectful of Kamala Harris to be looking to Newsom as the heir apparent. "
That should matter not one wit. Why is one person's honor more important than the wellbeing of 350 million Americans?
"Maybe they could promise Joe that if he steps down they'll still keep Hunter on as a bag man."
They will have to promise Joe a pardon for Hunter.
Through hook, crook, and omission, Joebama have been some of the most effective Democratic executors ever, but NOW it's time to pass the scalpels, set the IEDs, to a younger person(s) who identifies as the male sex or the masculine gender or wears a dress.

That should matter not one wit. Why is one person's honor more important than the wellbeing of 350 million Americans?
Because supposedly those 350 million Americans agreed to the US Constitution. Althouse never said she wanted Kamala Harris to be the Vice President. But the "names" she asked for earlier today are people, supposedly acting at the behest 81 million voters, claimed Kamala Harris was qualified to be Vice President, and if Joe Biden steps aside, she's the President. Asking the Vice President to step aside, because the President is no longer qualified to be President and they don't like Harris, seems a de facto attempt to usurp power without an election. Don't disrespect the Constitution on your way to install a new President.
My woman's reaction is that Newsom makes my skin crawl and I wouldn't want to be alone with him in a room. There's something red flag about that guy.
Hunter will appointed head of Navy... uh, navy, or president of some ivy league school per diverse precedents of pay for play in Democratic cells.
It wont be Newsome.
To white. Too male. Too coated in slimy human repellent juice. A lot like Ted Cruz.
The only people that Newsome works for are AWFL's with the most extreme daddy issues who want a good looking asshole to treat them badly.
Also it seems likely that Obama can't fit his hand up Newsome's ass and operate his mouth quite as effectively as he does with Biden.

Case in point.
It just wont work with women who had a male role model in their life.
When I look at Newsom I think of Jabba the Hut but with Newsom's head (the big tongue still evident). Kamala better watch out that she isn't forced to play Princess Leia.
Biden is going to have a medical emergency.
Soon he will be a martyr.
We will all be reminded how taboo it is to speak ill of the dead and the sick.
Also if you attack his replacement you are also speaking badly about Joe too you meany.
Only a Ruffian like Trump would focus on politics while we were in the middle of a medical emergency like this!
"Asking the Vice President to step aside, because the President is no longer qualified to be President and they don't like Harris, seems a de facto attempt to usurp power without an election."
I am speaking to the notion that Harris is owed the democrat nomination if Biden steps down from running for the next term. If Biden steps down from the Presidency before Jan 20, 2025, Kamala Harris is the President. No doubt.
Governor Brylcreem's denials and those of others look like cover for the Actual Plan™:
White House, Biden campaign slam replacement chatter after debate
Saith Newsom: "I think it’s unhelpful, and I think it’s unnecessary,” California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), who has been viewed as a White House contender, said on MSNBC late Thursday night. “We’ve got to go in, we’ve got to keep our head high, and, as I say, we’ve got to have the back of this president. You don’t turn your back because of one performance.”
It's not just one performance.
Methinks he doth protest too much.
Newsome is ready to meet the moment. Period. Full stop.
MadisonMan said...
"Boy he looks oily."
In Californis, he's known as Governor Dippity-Do.
Gavin Newsome is the asshole rich kid from every Eighties teen movie.
Look at this one! It's Jill Biden going full Mommy Dearest, and Joe Robbie Biden looking around, knowing that there is an ice cream cone somewhere for him soon.
Do you think this little number is going to let go of the reins of power without a bloodbath?
"Biden is going to have a medical emergency."
No. He is going to step down to spend time with his Hunter during his time of struggle. Because "a father's job is never done." And, "Joe loves his family so deeply." And, "growing up in Scranton in a Catholic, Jewish, Hindu, Jamaican, French-Canadian neighborhood, the value of family was instilled in him from birth." And, "Look at 'Joe the Hero' setting and example for the rest of us fathers."
No Malarkey!
It's Hillary. And I think in the rematch, she wins.
In 2016, the D fraud machine took the day off since the only question was how big a landslide it was going to be.
They won't make that mistake again for a generation.
Who's more likely to pay Jill a bribe to get Joe to drop out? Harris or Clinton?
It's all about the bribery.
Another bonus for Joe dropping out now. He can pardon Hunter. And he will.
"Kate said...
My woman's reaction is that Newsom makes my skin crawl and I wouldn't want to be alone with him in a room. There's something red flag about that guy."
Well, he did fuck his friend and chief of staff/campaign manager's wife.
The Democratic bench is empty of people with notoriety and a positive track record ready to step into the presidential race. No one even close. That’s why Joe will stay in the race, damage to his party be damned. The die is cast. He has to be voted out.
Yes, it is disrespectful to Harris, but aside from being born with her vagina and skin color is there anything she’s done to merit respect? Perhaps Althouse thinks all female politicians (oops, female Democrat politicians) deserve respect, but most don’t. Jeffrey Epstein and Seth Rich could explain to her what happens if you don’t play ball.
But wasn’t I just reading that California is facing a serious budget shortfall? Should Newsom be running for President or should he be trying to fix his state’s budget? No, he’s not good enough to do both.
At least when Dukakis ran for President the smoke and mirrors that was the “Massachusetts Miracle” had not yet given way to economic reality. Under Newsom’s leadership the state of California has become an economic basket case. By all means run him, Democrats! Trump will destroy him, and he deserves it.
Althouse said: I think I'm feeling something a lot of women feel. And I won't add speak for black people but I would like to hear from black people on this topic.

Biden will need to die to be replaced on ballots in some states
Since Biden has yet to win his party’s nomination, I’m curious which rogue states you have in mind.
Is K.Harris really African-American? Just asking
Newsom is the most viable candidate from the capitalist wing of the Democratic Party, therefore he will be Biden’s replacement.
Is K.Harris really African-American?
She’s half Indian and half Jamaican. Like Barack Obama, she was born in the United States of a black father.
Michael Shellenberger explains how Gavin Newsom governs.
"Newsom is like that last shit of the day when you have had the runs all day long- a squirt of mostly dark looking water."
How about "oleaginous shitweasel"? Or would that be disrespectful of shitweasels?
Jerry Brown never made it to the presidency, thank goodness.
Gavin Newsome just might, God help us all.
Oily vs oleaginous. Never use a two syllable word when a simple five syllable word would do.

That would allow the rest of us to call Biden a criminal and an obviously terrible president resigning in disgrace. Whoever replaced him would have to answer for the failures of the Regime and would have to defend the obvious criminality that caused the resignation.
But if Biden has a stroke and is in a coma or dies and the funeral is sometime in late October there will be beautiful eulogies to his 50 years in office and anyone that criticizes the regime is attacking a guy in a coma or who just died. The replacement walks in with a clean slate.
Option 2 has more benefits.

Obama’s ego would never allow Hillary to be the nominee, it would repudiate his 12 years of governance. Hikkary would spend all her time talking about how she was right to fake the dossier.
Her father came here in 1961
disrespectful of Kamala or disrespectful to Kamala
I was taught the second is correct.
is that because different between US and English?
Oily vs oleaginous. Never use a two syllable word when a simple five syllable word would do.
Churchill's dictum, and it was a good one, was always to use a French word preferentially over a Latin word, and an Anglo-Saxon word over a French word. "Oily" is from Middle French, as is "greasy". "Oleaginous" is Medieval Latin. So is "unctuous".
However, "slimy" is a good Old English word, from slimig, and will do nicely for that worthless heap of filth. Another Old English word that suits him is smeoruwig, which means greasy or oily, and comes down to us in the word "smear".
NBC or maybe ABC had an excellent news article on how the D's could replace Biden.
1) Biden will have to drop out. Its impossible under the current situation and rules to depose him
2) Once Biden is gone, the 3000 or so Biden Delegates and the Superdelegates can choose whoever they want. But if Biden says "Pick Kam" its hard to see how the D's could not nominate her.
3) However, if Biden doesnt care or doesnt support Harris she wont get it. Harris for a lot of reasons, isn't beloved in the Black Community. If Newsome offered to replace her with another Black person as his VP, or just keep her as VP, the crucial black vote (they vote as a bloc and follow their leaders) would go along.
4) The average D voter doesn't really care who the leaders pick as the candidate. Unlike R voters, they will troop the polls and vote for anybody as long as they have D after their name. If Biden goes, and doesn't care who succeeds him, it will be decided in a "Smoke filled room" and the whole D party will go along. they're robots.
The plan is get Kamala re-elected as VP before Biden steps down.

Depends on your opinion of Cuomo.
But both Cuomos were obviously taken out by the regime co clearly not an option for them.
I think they have lost the capitalist wing to be honest.
Just like the Republican party lost the warmonger wing.
There are a lot more capitalists than warmongers though.

Trump gave Biden an out by raising an eyebrow at Biden's claiming a six golf handicap.
Biden will join the Seniors golf circuit to defend his honor as a Biden but only after appointing Harris Chief Justice as Roberts finally is dealt the adoption card.
Kalorama's day is saved with a Taylor Swift/Mayor Pete ticket.
I’ve seen two insightful comments today that are not widely shared:
1. Newsome (and perhaps Whitmer) don’t want the 2024 nomination because they think that’s a loser — they want the 2028 nomination.
2. The money that has already been donated to “Biden-Harris”. can be used by Harris, if Biden drops out, but not by anybody else.
They say nothing that happens in politics is accidental - so when something unexpected happens, it's a reflection of the planning capacity of the party. It's not just Joe's debate performance, it's the entire 3½ year circus to-date that's had quite a few unexpected outcomes. One of which is, a complete lack of alternatives.
If the Democrats decide they want to force a change to the ticket at this late date, the war between the Left Coast Newsome-Pelosi-Getty family fortunes, the Chicago Obama-Pritzker Machine, the East Coast Blue Blood Establishment, and the Biden Crime Family is really going to be something to see. I think I'm betting they stay with Biden.
Naranayan: “seducing rishis” - like Sunak? Is that why the Tories are losing?
JSM
Biden has to agree to step down to get rid of him legally- it really is that simple. "This idea" that he can be 25th Amendment ousted is just a fantasy for Democrats- they won't ever find the majority of the cabinet to initiate it. Based on this afternoon, it is clear Biden won't volunteer to quit.
So my prediction is that Joe Biden dies in a heroic attempt to save little girl's cat from drowning at the beach.

The Dem leaders are working out everything privately and then they'll present their choice accompanied by some slick, not to say, oily narrative which Dem voters will be expected to swallow like a dropped burger in a drive-by line. Already the brighter spirits are gagging. Bernie Sanders, RFK Jr., are sprawled in the dumpsters and Kamala is falling from the sky toward the same garbage bin and then somebody, (a rat dressed like a human being) will crawl out from under the filth and all the Dem cheerleaders will hold up signs, CLAP. But no CLAPS. CLAP, they'll scream, you damn women, FU, CLAP !! ?????@#$% CLAP !!!. And when women don't CLAP and the Dem pollsters ask them why, they'll say "You told us Tinker Bell was problematic. Well, we decided you were right." And everyone will clap.

“disrespectful of Kamala or disrespectful to Kamala”
I asked google and google told me both were correct with this distinction:
“It seems like disrespectful to someone is more common than disrespectful of someone, whereas disrespectful of something is more common than disrespectful to something.
He was disrespectful towards her.
He was disrespectful of her religious beliefs.”

I rather have the corpse continue for 4 four more years, or until he’s finally pronounced dead, whichever is discovered first.
Ever notice, that’s how this WH is written about. Commander had bitten more SS agents and no one had any idea.
Cocaine was found in the White House and we still don’t know whose stash it was.
Biden is in obvios decline, and nobody is interested in the story.
ChatGPT weighs in, and Chat knows language:
"Disrespectful of Kamala": This typically implies a general attitude or behavior that lacks respect towards Kamala as a person or her position.
"Disrespectful to Kamala": This suggests specific actions or words directed towards Kamala that are disrespectful.
This sounds like one of those subtle ones, like the difference between "that" and "which" Though used interchangeably by many people, one of them is always correct and the other wrong, depending on what you mean to convey.
I’m starting to read now that Biden has no intention of stepping down.
Let the fun begin.

I think the fact that Hillary already lost once to Trump rules her out.
"I’m starting to read now that Biden has no intention of stepping down."
There's a serious risk that he would fall over if he tried.

That sounds better than what I found. Thanks.
Hillary ran particularly bone-headed tin-eared campaigns against Obama in the 2008 primaries and against Trump in 2016. Only some serious rigging got her past Bernie in the 2016 primaries.
Obama tweeted:
"Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know. But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself. Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight — and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit. Last night didn’t change that, and it’s why so much is at stake in November. http://joebiden.com"

If she wasn't a complete shallow dingbat, they wouldn't be considering passing her by. This wouldn't happen to Tulsi Gabbard.
Men aren't blindly loyal to other men who are corrupt and dangerous. Gavin is douchebag, so is Biden. I don't care if they walk around with penises between their legs. Both assholes.
I don't believe in the infallibility of men, nor the infallibility of women. We are all equal when it comes being good or bad, smart or stupid, genuine or completely full of shit.
The Dems are going to replace Biden with Newsome a white male and bypass the current VP a DEI black female?
Not happening.
Joe is not going to step down right up until the moment he does.
I'm not saying he will, I'm saying there will be no forewarning if he does. He was never going to wake up today and begin musing in public about potentially stepping down. That's not a viable strategy.
Althouse It is so disrespectful of Kamala Harris to be looking to Newsom as the heir apparent. How dare he swan around like that! And how dare Democrats openly talk about swapping him in for Biden without even mentioning what they'd do about her.
Dear Lord Jesus Christ. Please let the Democrats replace Joe Biden with Kamala Harris in the general election and not Gavin Newsome. in nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti.
Professor Althouse: Why are you invoking the liberal intersectional loyalty expected from African Americans from feminist white women?
You can't stand Kamala either. What makes you think black men can like her? Kamala is horribly stupid. Isn't it kind of an insult to expect them to be offended because of skin color? It's been dangerous enough for her to be a heartbeat away from the Presidency.
Although I wouldn't support her now, Condoleezza Rice wouldn't have been set aside by the GOP is the situation were the same. She had a working brain, and could actually speak intellectually. Are black people required to have Kamala carry their torch because white feminists demand it???
But trust me. I'm on your side. I hope if there is a replacement, I hope the Democrats give Kamala her DEI turn. If she actually was elected, we deserve to get fucked.
Do liberal feminists REALLY want to put another woman up against Trump and lose?
The closest we will get to the first female President is if Trump picks Tulsi Gabbard as his VP. He would serve four years, and she would be the next GOP nominee. I think she'd win.
Democrats are the REAL racists and sexists. The oily Newsome savior fascination is just further proof.
"If [Kamala] actually was elected, we deserve to get fucked."
Speak for yourself.
FWIW, my impression is that the Prof's B/black following might be as much as 1% of her overall following.
Does personal competence matter? Dems have proven that they can steer the ship (albeit poorly) with mentally incompetent POTUS. Harris is and always has been the perfect politician to be led from behind the scenes.
"I hope the Democrats give Kamala her DEI turn. If she actually was elected, we deserve to get fucked."
Or blown...
I bet she still got it!

I can't stand her, but this disrespect is intolerable. And I think I'm feeling something a lot of women feel.<
It's definitely because she's a woman, Ann. I mean, what else could it possibly be?
Oh wait, there is that minor matter of her approval polling numbers being lower than those of Biden's. Naa...
"I think the fact that Hillary already lost once to Trump rules her out."
Hitchens on Hillary, 2008: "...[T]here’s something horrible and undefeatable about people who have no life except the worship of power...people who don’t want the meeting to end, the people who just are unstoppable, who only have one focus, no humanity, no character, nothing but the worship of money and power. They win in the end."
I'm not black but the "Disrespect" for Harris in the Black community exists because she has ZERO roots in the black community. Biden got the nomination in 2020 over Harris, because the black leadership picked Biden over Harris. If they'd gone for Harris, she would've won SC, and things would be different.
Obama, our half-white Hawaiian President from Columbia/Yale, earned his place in the black community by marrying a black woman, moving to Chicago, and working as a "Community organizer" and later representing a black majority district for 8 years.
Harris by comparison, is a half-indian, half-jamacian woman, married to Jewish man. She grew up in the SF bay area and Canada. Her political career has consisted of being city and state DA and then being a US Senator. She's lived in SF bay area, almost her entire life.
Harris has no "power base" in the Democrat Party. Whether the black Leadership will support her if Biden drops out is anyone's guess.
"And how dare Democrats openly talk about swapping him in for Biden without even mentioning what they'd do about her. I can't stand her, but this disrespect is intolerable. And I think I'm feeling something a lot of women feel. And I won't add speak for black people but I would like to hear from black people on this topic."

Why weren't all the slights against Hillary disrespectful? The snide remarks, or alternatively-- the times Hillary wasn't mentioned, plans were made without a care, or nod to how it would affect her standing, or any attempt to seek her input. There were numerous times when Hillary got the short-shrift, or simply ignored during key policy decisions during Obama.
You never seemed to feel something a lot of women feel then.

"Kinda funny to watch the "Trump is a threat to Democracy" crowd openly strategize how to thwart the will of every Democrat who voted in the primaries by engineering a coup at the convention and placing a candidate on the ticket without a single person casting a vote."

I think they are more likely to use the Governor from Maryland.
Abrams is also slimmed down a bit. She will probably be on the ticket one way or the other and would allow them to go with the oil slick from California.
The people who pick the eventual nominee should be thinking about who will be more resistant to Trump.
They are probably going to be thinking about DEI boxes instead which is a big mistake.
I don't find Kamela worthy of respect either.
But we have a party that worships at the alters of race and gender.
Drop kicking Kamala is a HUGE sign of DISrespect for blacks and women in general.
More than enough to scuttle the election for the left and maybe for years after.
As a non-negro, but person far more accultured as an American negro than Kamala Harris, let me say the best play for the Democrats is for Biden to resign the Presidency, and let Kamala be the first whatever for the remainder of the term in exchange for NOT seeking office. Bump Buttigieg up to Veep to lock down the queer vote. Then do what you want with whomever for this year's election.
I feel pretty safe in saying that from the ratification of the Twelfth Amendment to maybe the selection of Dick Cheney, there has never been a VP candidate chosen based on the ability to fulfill the Constitutional requirements of the Office. The VP slot has been a sop to the largest bloc of party supporters not represented by the top of the ticket, often quite openly so, giving them the impression their man is going to be near the halls of power without being in them (i.e., it's not worth a bucket of warm piss, as one VP opined.) That isn't to say that some VPs haven't been eminently qualified or powerful figures in their own right, just that the choice has functionally never been driven by the Constitutional outline of the job. The modern mania for a 'co-Presidency' really reflects the explosion of the Executive branch after FDR (It maybe apocryphal but Harry Truman was supposedly not even aware the Manhattan Project existed before he had to make the A-bomb decision) more than a return to the Constitutional roots of the job. It might have been possible to make the case that Harris was chosen Constitutionally if Biden hadn't felt it necessary to say the quiet part out loud to the Democrat Party bloc that is obsessed with the Didn't Earn It bean-counting.
It is so disrespectful of Kamala Harris to be looking to Newsom as the heir apparent. How dare he swan around like that! And how dare Democrats openly talk about swapping him in for Biden without even mentioning what they'd do about her. I can't stand her, but this disrespect is intolerable.
She's not just assassination insurance, she's also 25th Amendment insurance. Standing up to Biden is not something she's going to do. Certainly not in public.
If Biden (or the Democrats) liked her, they'd be pushing for him to resign now. Letting her be president for a few months would empower her to run in 2024.
Almost nobody is talking about the need for Biden to resign from the White House now.
And everybody's talking about the need for Biden to resign from the 2024 campaign.
Implicitly, that's a lot of people saying they don't like Harris. And she was horrible in 2020 campaign, and her support was negligible.
Democrats are the REAL racists and sexists. The oily Newsom savior fascination is just further proof.
His resemblance to American Psycho is uncanny.
If Trump wants to give him a nickname, "White Male" is pretty funny.
Slick.
Oil Can.
Batman.
Apparently Trump is going with New-scum.
ehhhhhhh
not impressed
he's lost his insult mojo
Rehab.
Anti-Pope.
Gavin Newsom = éminence grease
Oso Negro,
Great plan, from the Dem party pov.
It is only a terrible plan if one thinks that the president and vp are going to be making decisions and exercising power.
And who believes THAT about the current administration?
Althouse, it IS strange that Dems and their media reps are only talking about other potential candidates--and not even mentioning Kamala Harris.
If Biden is not on the ticket come November, I can't see any alternative BUT Kamala for President. I don't know why this obvious choice is being elided. Putting Kamala up would not tick off the base, not set off the Woke, and would enable use of the campaign money that's been raised. Anyone else would be unthinkable.
