(12,344 posts)Second of all, the point is, they are going to use EVERY vote he ever made from the day he entered the Senate and EVERY thing he ever said against him in EVERY possible way. Just like they did to Kerry, Gore and Clinton, only worse. Our candidates didn't seem prepared for it on any of those occasions. Each of them had possible strategies they could have used against the attacks, but didn't.
Would it be fair if Harris attacked Pete on the shooting. No it wouldn't, but that doesn't matter, and she probably won't bother. He had zero support in the AA community but he was just starting to get some traction when the worst possible thing happened to his candidacy. I don't think he can recover, it's not his fault, and you are like the fourth person who thinks the unfairness against Pete is some kind of gotcha. It isn't, because all I care about is what works, not what's fair. So I am doing the unfair to him. I'm switching to Warren, as of now. In part because I think her best counter to unfair attacks against her is to stay on message. Which she has been doing. So let Harris call her Pocahontas or DINO or whatever, I think Warren has a plan for that. We'll see.
If I am wrong (I hope I am) and he recovers, maybe I'll switch back.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
