(37,648 posts)106. It wasn't a mistake. She had to do something daring to break out of the pack & up her numbers.
It was a calculated move, complete with pic of her as a child ready to go. It worked. So gotta hand it to her for getting her numbers up. Whether it was enough, who knows. But if it worked once, she will do it again. Except others now know to expect that, so they'll be more prepared.
She did mischaracterize his past actions and work and stance on busing. So in that sense, it was disingenuous of her and not quite on the up and up. IMO.
So she didn't make a mistake. It was a planned attempt at making some time, and she succeeded. She's an adept prosecutor and I think an experienced debater.

And misrepresentation of herself as benefitting from Federally mandated busing.

I think I see what the OP was referring to: 43% say Biden has best chance to beat Trump

+1 Also, voters perception of electability will change based on more exposure and poll results.

This poll doesn't say what people here seem to think it says. 43% is NOT people supporting Biden.

One asks who want to vote for. The other asks who you think others will vote for.

No, the poll is just dem and dem-leaning voters. But it still makes sense.

It's confusing because people don't actually read the linked articles. ;-)

I can't see why there would be blowback over Mayor Pete's ownership of the AA community/policing

I think that 43% number bothers you and you would have rather it not be a real number

I have no feelings either way about the 43%, I only take issue with the way it was

This "verbiage" is the exact one CNN used when they presented the poll live on TV.

she is at 17%, Biden dropped 10 points to 22%, the OP's playing 'cherry-pick a category' games

Harris and Warren bring intelligence/smarts to the ticket and they add the female persuasion

Susan Rice does all of that, as well - plus she and Joe respect each other...
