| Kamala Must Go There is now talk going around that the Dems will not replace Biden as their candidate, but will replace Harris with Hillary Clinton. The belief is that Biden could not make it through a second term and the VP will take over. Nobody in the country wants or likes Harris and the party does not want her to be the first female US President, that role was already reserved for Clinton, a real fan favorite amongst liberal women and gay men. In fact she was a presenter at the Tony Awards last Sunday to a thunderous standing ovation of the Broadway elite. The possibility still exists that Biden will fail so miserably at the debate with Trump (if it is allowed to proceed) then Hillary will take his place as the Presidential candidate. That scenario creates all sorts of issues because it means a “straight” white woman will be pushed into place over a POC in Kamala Harris making the party look racist. The party looks racist by dropping in Clinton as VP, but not ridiculously so. Besides, some sort of emergency or accident might sideline Harris and her replacement being another woman seems less offensive. Also putting Clinton in the top spot requires a different VP anyway as the party is not going to have two women running as it is unbalanced. So Harris would be ousted then too. If Biden was replaced with Gavin Newsom, you still have a problem with Harris. Thus moving out Harris from the get-go is the most effective maneuver. When analyzing the original Harris choice for VP in 2020, you have to conclude she was the equivalent of a “poison pill” put in place to assure Biden remains at the top of the ticket. She makes complex changes difficult. That said, the Democratic Party has no real problem swapping out VP's. Roosevelt, for example, had three different VP's, Garner, Wallace and Truman. So getting rid of Kamala has precedent. |
