where is the Fla. senate campaign?

Mucarsel-Powell is only 3 - 4 points behind Scott. Scott is definitely beatable. But I haven't seen anything that suggests that an election is even taking place.

Governor Brewster Mullins Bradford III for VP

Governor Bradford, of one of America's oldest and most distinguished families, is an immensely popular governor of a critical swing state. A gifted orator with a reputation for getting things done. He is liberal without being a far left ideologue. His views on the Israel - Hamas war are consistent with those of Harris, Biden, and the majority of Americans. He is young, attractive, Episcopalian,
and with Harris they would represent a new generation of leadership. The choice is obvious*.

*Any resemblance between Governor Bradford and a jew named Shapiro is purely coincidental.

a history of news media narratives

MSM news is entertainment. Entertainment requires a story. The media creates a story and sticks to it regardless of truth or accuracy.

Some examples:
● Hillary Clinton is unlikable. (Pure sexism)
● Al Gore is a liar (after years of being called a boy scout).
● George W Bush is a good natured dope. (He was a terrible president but he is not stupid.)
● Gerald Ford is clumsy and stupid. (He was probably the most athletic president and as house minority leader was respected by both parties.
● Joe Biden is senile because he sometimes forgets a name. (A lack of verbal ability does not mean a lack of cognitive ability).

I don't know what narrative the MSM will invent for Harris but we must remain vigilant and stop it before it becomes widely accepted.

It was not some grand plan, it was a massive failure.

The party should have defended Joe from the start. They should have said that a few senior moments augmented by a lifetime stutter does not indicate cognitive impairment. They should have stuck by Joe like the repubs stick to tfg. Instead they bought into the media narrative of Biden being too old. It wasn't strategy, it was mass hysteria. It was Democrats once again failing to fight back.

Joaquin Castro for VP

Puts Texas, Nevada, and New Mexico in play. Maybe even Florida.

Did you ever play "Hi Bob"

Time to say:
Bye Bob

Reuters headline after news conference: "Biden mixes up Harris, Trump names as calls to end his campaign grow"

The media narrative will not be changed so we must speak the truth louder.
