Do the people YAAASS Queening Kamala Harris not realize that she was setting the groundwork for an outright rejection of the Mueller Report? Her premise was that Mueller may not have properly conveyed the underlying evidence in order to help Trump. She basically attacked Mueller!
Harris was sowing suspicion not just about Barr's representations of the Mueller Report, or any aspect involving Barr, but of Mueller's handling of the underlying evidence which was then crafted into the Report. So she's now strongly implying that Dems should not trust Mueller!
Her line of questioning (which was at least coherent, unlike Hirono) indicates Dems do not view the Mueller Report as the final word on these matters. They demand to see "underlying evidence." Which means Trump/Russia is going to continue to be a live issue indefinitely. Enjoy!
In theory I welcome seeing any and all underlying evidence for the sake of transparency. But Harris is using the non-availability of underlying evidence to cast doubt on Mueller’s charging decisions. Which means the conspiracy theory will remain alive for the foreseeable future

Tulsi receives another unusual endorsement: from Ron Paul. "Tulsi Gabbard is by far the very, very best," he says
You can discount this but Ron Paul came in third in the 2012 GOP New Hampshire primary. There is no party registration required in NH. And there will likely be no contested GOP race. So libertarians, independents, and assorted others could easily vote for Tulsi
I interviewed Ron Paul in 2017 and he praised Tulsi as "heroic"

If the economy stays relatively "good," at least in the macro sense, I wouldn't underestimate the appeal of returning to the pre-Trump status quo in the Dem electorate. Yes, there's upheaval globally and in the US, but it can be counteracted by a nostalgic desire for "normalcy"
Also recall: turnout in the 2016 Dem primaries was relatively low, which augured Hillary's eventual defeat. It's likely to be much higher in 2020. And people turning out could disproportionately be "normie Dems" who like Biden and aren't interested in sweeping structural change
In general, there's a tendency for pundits to assume that every election cycle subsequent to 2016 will produce the same kind of "disruption" as was evident across the spectrum that year. Alternatively, it could've just been a unique aberration. "Good" economy would reinforce this

Journalists keep tweeting old clips of Biden that are supposed to be damning. And while some are relevant, I just don't think they'll be that politically useful. Obama picked Biden and washed all his past "sins" away. To challenge him, you have to challenge the Obama/Biden legacy
I did a lot of canvassing in 2008 (in a non-journalistic capacity) and I distinctly recall many older, largely white voters who had reservations about Obama deciding to vote for the ticket in part because they liked Biden. Politically, he was a very effective running mate
I'm hearing stuff like, "the people voted for Obama, not Biden." That's just not true on multiple levels. For one, the people elected Biden twice as VP. He was on the ballot. More abstractly, a non-trivial amount of Obama's appeal with the electorate can be attributed to Biden

Le #breaking GOAT😉 de la nuit US. Le procureur spécial #Mueller a ÉCRIT au ministre de la Justice #Barr pour lui dire que son relevé de conclusions sur son enquête ne correspondait pas à son rapport sur #Trump. Retournement massif. washingtonpost.com/world/national…
2) Dans cette lettre, #Mueller accuse nommément #Barr d'avoir semé la confusion dans le public avec ses conclusions sur #Trump qui "ne capturent pas pleinement le contexte, la nature et la substance du rapport et de ses conclusions" (#verbatim)
3) D'après le @washingtonpost, dans 1 entretien téléphonique postérieur- mais attention, là, sources indirectes- à la lettre, #Mueller ne reproche pas à #Barr de mentir mais d'avoir présenté des conclusions égarant le public et les médias quant à l'obstruction de #Trump.

Harris ran for DA as anti-death penalty. She was elected. Those who are pro-death penalty will always object. Harris is right. Reviving this 15yrs later panders to the #GOP.

How Kamala Harris' death penalty decisions broke hearts on both sides cnn.com/2019/04/08/pol…
Clarifying that I meant #Harris was right on her death penalty stance and that it is my stance that @CNN reviving this story is the pandering aspect.

One feels for the widow, but we are not served by the death penalty in a civilized society..
@CNN What should be the takeaway from this tragic story for 2020 is that as a young prosecutor--and the first woman, first black woman, first Asian American woman--#KamalaHarris stood up against literally everyone because she knew, as should we all, that the #deathpenalty is wrong.

...am I really walking to The National right now to report back on Blexit? 🧜🏻‍♀️
Seats mostly look full. There was a movie to start.

Now Candace Owens is opening saying this is a 90s vibe b/c it didn’t feel like it used to be like this. Cited growing up watching Huxtables, the Jeffersons, etc. She wanted to be a doctor, not like Mike.
Loud applause when she says America is not racist, the media wants us to think it is. Now Owens is calling out Ralph. Says this is the Capitol of “Democrat Hypocrisy.” 🧜🏻‍♀️
