This angle confuses me. I can't think of a time since I've been voting where people tried so hard to make believe the VP was the incumbent. These are two very different offices with very different roles. (This ignores the fact that the President shouldn't be the one in charge of super-all-policy-and-power- everything in the first place, and I wish we could collectively get this office off THAT pedestal...)

I didn't hear anyone talking about Pence or Biden or Cheney or Gore or whomever in anywhere near the same realm of imaginary control as they have Harris.

Again, she's not my favorite person for the role, just making an observation on the political tactic (which seems to have taken quite the solid hold).
