Very confusing to see #RIPKamala trending on Twitter because Kamala Harris passed away, but not *that* Kamala Harris

Probably old tweets from when Tulsi shot her campaign down in flames at the debate.

Unfortunately Joe Biden rushed her campaign to the pet semetary and buried it and now she's back in business.

No, apparently a pro wrestler, James "Kamala" Harris passed away.

From what I can gather, it wasn't a mail problem per se, the CEE just never bothered to send the trucks full of ballots to the schools they were supposed to go to.

Trump only leads by 2 in Nebraska’s first district. That is very bad news for him. Nebraska is one of two states that splits its electoral votes by congressional district. Two are awarded for the winner of the statewide vote

I feel like you're conflating a few things. And also, I don't have any theories involving Mondale as it would require me to know more about him than he lost 49 states to one and had a woman as his VP pick. I know he was someone's VP...Carters? I know that the 1984 primary is why they created Superdelegates but I don't have any theories tying that to the vice presidency.

I do think that the vice presidency is a bench warmer's job, but that's not my theory. That one came from like the second or third Vice President, and ones that had an effect like Cheney are rare and require an ineffectual president when this time we're getting one with long relationships.

Also, since I don't care I'm not invested, so I wasn't asking on my behalf but because the person I was asking is against Harris in any role and didn't appear to click the link that showed Brown's suggestion was a more active role instead of VP.

In short, I think you're asking the wrong cat the wrong question based on the wrong memory.

Hopefully not with the side effect of violence, she was pretty violent before he buried her and the compounded effect...

It's a Democratic Internal Poll done by Kate Bolz's Campaign, which surveyed 400 people. I highly, highly doubt the margin will be 2 points, especially since this area is super red. NE-1 or NE-3 are not going blue; NE-2 will probably.

Tbf, he has a point. Have you seen the disastrous interviews coming out now? Trump has gone from being able to revel in the spotlight to fucking up every time it’s on him.

Trump's been making a fool of himself in front of a camera since he descended a golden escalator to tell the world about the rapists being sent by Mexico.
