If James does not win, the republicans will not have any black senators (Scott is not runing for office)

Pretty sure Scott is not retiring his seat just isn't up this cycle (Graham's is)

That means they’re incredibly deluded because their names will be swear words for the base.

Kristol's career looks legitimately much rosier under a Biden administration than Trump II, but a lot of that is Trump losing the power to enforce his blacklists. The chuds might always hate Bill Kristol, and he probably couldn't win a Republican primary but he never needed either of those things to exercise power before.

I'm much more worried about Biden's actual advisors. Larry Summers again :psyduck:

I can believe the Trump campaign is this stupid.

The Democrats if they had one iota of tactical sense would be sending people to help get Kanye on the ballot in all 50 states. Mostly I think he will pull from neither Trump nor Biden effectively but he will expand the electorate, which will inevitably accrue to the Democrats benefit in the long run.

Phoney signatures are de rigeur with these things, paid signature gatherers make minimum wage if they're lucky, lists are invariably filled with forgeries and honest mistakes that's why organized campaigns know they have to submit lots and lots of names more then the minimum required because some will invariably be challenged and thrown out.

Doesn't seem like a terrible strategy honestly, the media and Biden are queuing up the China hate for Trump on this one. Obviously that's not going to fix how bad Trump has screwed things up but no on the debate stage is going to challenge him for blaming China.

They insisted they would not work without a functioning U.S. Government watching the skies and the shutdown of all air traffic was enough to scare Trump into caving on the shutdown.

Harris was always the establishment's choice, her politics and policies proved about as endearing to the Democratic base as Joe Biden's had in his previous attempts at the nomination (or for 90% of this primary season), but she's a very safe choice unlikely to upset the election trajectory Biden is currently on. Tactically Rice would have been so much worse of a choice.
