Then we had Biden vs. Trump. Then Not-Biden vs. Trump. Now we have Not-Biden and Not-Vance vs. Trump and Vance.
IMO Gov. Walz was a pretty good pick for VP Kamala Harris’s running mate. He balances her in many ways (race, gender, experience) while being quite compatible with her ideologically. I doubt that he will be as much help in carrying Midwestern states as some are speculating. Minnesota has been safely Democratic since 1976. That is quite different from other Midwestern states. He also brings more firsthand knowledge of China than any president or vide president since, I guess, Herbert Hoover.
I have no idea who will be elected president and I doubt that anyone else actually does, either. The election will be an interesting test several things including the importance of getting out the base.
All I can say is we will find out soon if there was proper vetting done.
How much difference will it make if no one watches anything but ABC, CBS, and NBC? Or reads the New York Times or Washington Post?
Because the “world” is bigger then the media.
As Biden found out; the media can help you get elected, can even cover for a while; but governing or being a heartbeat from governing will expose all flaws.
The other thing to note. I find it hard to believe that voters are just going to treat the race as de novo and not take into account what they believe were the accomplishments or failures of the Biden / Harris administration.
Maybe Biden’s approval ratings was solely due to his age; but if so, it would be worthy of a dissertation.
Dave Schuler: Now we have Not-Biden and Not-Vance vs. Trump and Vance.
If the enthusiasm of the last few days are any indication, it’s Harris-Walz vs. Trump-Vance.
It’s the Bullshitter vs The Flirt. The VP candidates both seem angry, not sure of the strategy?
Good cop- bad cop?
