NEW: One party brings back David Plouffe, the other brings back Corey Lewandowski

As Chicago -- site of so many drama-filled conventions gets underway -- Dems have mostly snuffed out their drama.

I wrote on how Dems have become what Repubs used to be

politico.com/news/magazine/…
Democrats are a healthier, better organized, more hierarchical and even ruthless party. Unified against Trump more than they are dedicated to any ideological project, they’ve adopted what’s effectively an Al Davis platform: Just win, baby.

President Biden is finally going to give in? Get in line behind Harris — now.

The vice president is discarding her now-inconvenient left-wing proposals from her 2020 primary bid and airing tough-on-the-border ads? Nod.

She’s inviting a cast of Obama-era Democratic consultants onto the campaign she inherited from Biden? Salute.
After so many years in which our British cousins have adopted American political tactics, Democrats finally took a page from Westminster. When prime ministers struggle or become impediments to the party’s success, their colleagues abandon them or pressure them until they step down. It’s not personal, it’s business.

NEW: On the vindication of VP’s comfort food pick, the first signs that she’s running in a general election + the shades-of-2008 moment last night that triggered Repubs

Oh, and one victory lap: I told Walz in Dec either he or Beshear would be Kamala’s running mate (he didn’t push back!)

My column from Phila >>

t.co/HDTpyIUwRW
The “only in America” line that triggered the “U-S-A” chant has some Dems wanting more

Including Wes Moore

He thinks Harris should drape her nominating convention later this month, literally and metaphorically, with the stars and stripes.

“This needs to be framed as a celebration of America,” Moore said of the Chicago conclave, urging Harris and Walz “to be unapologetic in speaking about their love of country.
Here’s that memorable Obama to- camera opening spot of the 2008 general I mentioned

This is peak inoculation politics

And. yes, a different time

I had lunch in SF w WILLIE BROWN early last month

Then 6/27 happened

And we lived thru the World Willie Made

On the VP, GAVIN, PELOSI, MAXINE, TRUMP, KIMBERLY and more

Pull up a chair:

politico.com/news/magazine/…
He’s the most enduring Black political figure in America.

You can scarcely find a pol in either party - from LBJ and Pat Brown to Trump and Kamala - to which he doesn’t have a connection

He was elected to the Calif assembly 60 years ago this yr

And in Chi, he’ll be able to offer expert insight on the Democratic nominee - almost 2/3ds a century after he attended JFK’s convention
The story of how Kamala first met Trump involves Willie Brown, Trump Force One, Teterboro and Steve Wynn

Oh plus Harvard and the LA school district, where Trump wanted to build a west coast tower

Now cometh the news cycle when Dems realize Biden is gonna avoid debates, hope they can pin it on Trump for not doing debate commission ones

This has, literally folks, been the Biden plan for a year.

They “believe that Trump or any other Republican nominee will be reluctant to work with the Commission on Presidential Debates, lessening the chances, and risk, of a head-to-head debate.”

If ya don’t think somebody who’s skipping the super bowl pre game interview two years in a row - a massive free media opportunity - is looking to avoid any unforced errors you should pay closer attention

Best part of this is how much it contrasts w Biden’s woeful history in Iowa, caucuses and general

He knows who brung him to the dance and it ain’t Iowa

NEW: Inside Sinema’s sniping spree

As she stockpiles cash, she’s letting loose on what she really thinks of her Dem colleagues, @SenSchumer @RonaldKlain + jello

It’s delighting her GOP audiences & giving some hope they can convert her yet

My column:

politico.com/news/magazine/…
Among the Rs who want McConnell to cut a deal w Sinema: W. Mitt Romney

Even if she doesn’t caucus w Rs, Mitt said he wants Sinema back, is open to stump for her in Ariz

Consider: In the vote that counts for McConnell, leader, he’s more likely to be backed by Sinema than Lake
This glimpse at Sinema is why some of her colleagues like her (quick w a iine, in on the joke) and why some of them find her insufferable (full of self)

But it's who she is.

And is why so many eyes rolled when she became an indie & said she hadn't thought thru the implications
