Veepstakes and a summer of Brats as WaPo editorial board advises Kamala resist a 'glide path' [1]

The Washington Post editorial board now gives VPOTUS Harris advice for pre-nomination time in the run up to 5 November.

Ms. Harris should both resist activist demands that would push her to the left and ignore the social media micro-rebellion that will follow. Ms. Harris’s pick of running mate could be a revealing early indicator, too. Tapping a politician likely to appeal to the median voter would serve her — and the country — best. [...] Ms. Harris might look at those numbers, and the complexity of the issues, and be tempted to ride a glide path to the nomination, taking few risks between now and when delegates vote in August. She should do the opposite. She could deliver a detailed national address and take substantive questions from journalists, hold a televised town hall to engage directly with voters and give interviews after rallies in battleground states. She could even take part in forums with fellow Democrats to showcase that the party is more than any one individual. The goal is to emerge from vice-presidential muddiness to presidential sharpness. A change in messenger might help convince people that, say, the president’s handling of the Ukraine war has actually been strong, or that the economy is, in fact, humming. It also allows the Democratic ticket to sketch its vision. The pen is in Ms. Harris’s hand. www.washingtonpost.com/...?

Donald Trump cannot stop a summer of chaos, party-girl antics and the coconut/lime green of ‘Brat’. The childless JD Vance couches of America degas the dog whistles of racist misogyny and dull iteration of clueless Trumpist shtick borrowed from mass media.
