I missed this earlier, but Tur called the trump ticket

"very masculine" today. Not misogynistic. No dishonest. Not sexist. Not racist. Not dangerous. "Masculine".

There is something wrong with a "journalist" who uses those words in this situation. I guess she thinks it makes cheato and J.D. look good compared to Harris. Either that, or she's just completely out of her depth.

Sisterhood! Amy Klobachar comes out for Harris!

Sounds like she knows her pretty well and is giving a great endorsement for her to Andrea Mitchell. Even Andrea sounds pretty positive, believe it or not.

For what it's worth, Peter Baker was on MSNBC earlier

and he sounded open minded about Harris. Of course, he got what he wanted. He's probably just trying to get an interview with Kamala. I hope she tells him where to go, but that's why I wouldn't be a good politician.

I understand the fear of Harris but it is unfounded

Yes, she will be a target of racist, sexist lies by MAGA. But ANY Dem candidate would be mercilessly attacked. Remember their disgusting smears of Kerry, a Purple Heart recipient? Remember how they treated Joe Biden until literally the last week or so? Remember their lies about Obama?

They are a lost cause. We will not get their votes. But independent voters are not going to buy that BS in large numbers. And Kamala will make up for the loss, if there is one, with renewed enthusiasm among young voters and people of color.

Picking the candidate based on fears of how the rightwing will react is a fool's errand. Let's not embark on it. Let's be positive and united!!

Let's go!

I'll trust Claire McCaskill and Rachel's instincts more than Tur!

Both Claire and Rachel think Harris will have no trouble securing the nomination. Tur is very "concerned" that Pelosi, Jeffries, etc. haven't endorsed yet. But Claire just told her that it would happen and that no one else has the infrastructure or base of support that she does.

Sorry, Tur and Jansing. The Dems are united. You two might have to turn your attention to cheato and covering him. I heard he lies a lot.

Like me, Rachel is very familiar with Kamala since she's from the Bay Area

She's very bullish on Harris right now on MSNBC. I have been a contributor and supporter of Harris for decades. I'm from the Bay Area too.

Rachel and I both know Kamala. She's a heavyweight. There is nothing to worry about.

Rachel on MSNBC now

Finally, sanity. Too bad she has to talk to Tur.

July 21, 2024

Tur should resign and let someone younger take over

She just called Jon Meachum Michael Bechloss and then corrected to Jon Mitchum. She also said that all polls showed Biden couldn't win. She's trending again and she more than deserves it

She is going to be atrocious in her coverage of Kamala. She needs to be gone.
