Black women are mobilized. A lot of you won’t see it because the mobilization will be stealthy. And if you’re worried about Black men, I’ll just say this—if theres one thing a Black man won’t do it’s defy the word of his Black mama. They’ll get on board if mana says so.

Yeah, this.  There is a misnomer about black turnout.  Women vote.  The men don’t.  The women will make them here.

Fuck Joe Manchin.

Apparently he announced on CBS that he wasn’t running. That was after appearing on CNN and saying he might.

Manchin ends his brief flirtation with presidential bid

Well, that was fast. Sen. Joe Manchin’s (I-W.Va.) brief flirtation with a bid for the Democratic nomination for president ended between two cable news interviews Monday morning.

“I am not running for office,” Manchin told “CBS Mornings” Gayle King. About an hour earlier on CNN “This Morning,” he told host Kasie Hunt “people are pushing in that direction” when asked if he was seeking the nomination.

Normally the GOP is relatively on the same message with their team that goes on tv or with their tweets. Its why their message sounds similar if not identical.

crazy how they were caught flat footed yesterday by being all over the place. The spectrum went all the way from its illegal to its fine but Biden should also resign from office.

I don’t know why they weren’t ready for this scenario as it was being more likely Biden would resign and endorse Harris.

While funny, this is a fantastic analysis.

Manchin would have had a shot this weekend if he had had the courage to challenge Biden in the primaries. Instead he decided to walk away from the Dems, and now is making noise of wanting back in the party.

If you believe anything from RNC Research, then you are dumber than we all thought. Party is pretty fucking unified.

Two things I know about @PRONG HORN, he keeps really weird hours and he is dumb enough to believe absolutely any fascist bullshit he finds in his twitter sewer.

The one think I dislike about Kamala is that she the youngest boomer by being born in Oct ‘64. Only 3 months younger and Gen X would finally have their own President.  Boomers had 4 of the last 5 presidents.

I've been thinking that Trump might actually quit.   Why?  1) He's a coward who can't stand blows to his ego. Losing to a black woman like Kamala Harris is more than he could take. It's best not to risk it.  2) I don't think he really WANTS to be President for any reason other than he wants to protect himself from prosecution. If he can be assured that a) he'll be given pardoned if a Republican wins and b) Republicans stand a better chance of winning with him NOT on the ticket then I could see that he would walk away 3) he's old and tired and probably more than anything wants to go somewhere, play golf, and live out the rest of his days.

 

Trump has once again painted himself into a corner by blasting Biden for quitting, which he has continued.  No way does he quits now.

Trump also has surrounded himself with yes men. Who would possibly advise him to step down?

She’s more Gen X than boomer then. She can probably make a .pdf.

Guess running on his own dime with no support didn't appeal to him.

When the universal response to musings one might run is laughter, one might want to sit this one out.

Considering the flailing about by the Trump campaign/GOP yesterday, I imagine some poor intern was walking into the office with a fresh batch of "Biden is old" material and saw the news on TV like

I’m just going to predict right now that when the first real polls come out around Thursday, a lot of people are going to be shocked.

I can't wait to see them.  The post-debate polls had her performing better nationally than Joe - up in a few, down in a few, tied in a few.  Joe was down an average of ~2 points to Trump nationally, Harris about ~1.5.  Curious if she gets a little bump from yesterday - a lot of upside for her. 

NYT polls in PA/Virginia:

PA: Trump 48, Biden 45
Trump 48, Harris 47

VA: Biden 48, Trump 45
Harris 49, Trump 44

Quote

In both states, Ms. Harris performed slightly stronger than Mr. Biden with Black voters, younger voters, and women — all groups that Democrats need in order to be successful this fall. And, importantly, those are groups where Mr. Biden appeared to be losing ground.

Trumpers already calling Kamala a hoe and lazy on social media.

Good. While there are definitely more "normal" people that are going to be hesitant voting for a black woman in this country than we'd like to admit, they also don't want to be lumped in with the open misogynists and racists. MAGA is going to do the heavy lifting for us by being off-putting to the suburbs. 

Shit, even if Trump wanted to debate, would they even let him? The chances are way too high that he says something about being thuggish or ghetto or implies she slept her way to the top.

Speaking of, now that Joe is done, I kinda hope he pardons Hunter on the way out. Because fuck the GQP, that’s why.  

Oh, totally. I fully expect that pardon to come not long after the election.

Because the GOP didn't expect Biden to actually drop out and were planning to continue to push the narrative that he should and is unfit.

She's being labeled as Gen X from what little I've seen.

We'll see but I've thought that all the polling with Kamala so far probably underrated her. Before it was a hypothetical, now it is reality.

Yeah, I mentioned she has a lot of upside in polling from those post-debate polls.

Now it's real, the quickness of the unity across the caucus, the enthusiasm - I want to specifically see how black voters and young voters react in polling.  With the caveat that polling won't truly capture things, because the industry is broken. 

And of course, I want AZ, NV, NC, GA, WI, MI, PA polls.
