Like everyone else, Nancy Pelosi is looking for reasons for why the Democrats lost the election. Her preferred candidate seems to be Kamala Harris, though she disguises this by making it look like she is swiping at Joe Biden:
“We live with what happened,” Pelosi said.
Pelosi was speaking to the Interview, a New York Times podcast, in a conversation the newspaper said would be published Saturday in full.
“Had the president gotten out sooner,” Pelosi remarked, “there may have been other candidates in the race. The anticipation was that, if the president were to step aside, that there would be an open primary.
“And as I say, Kamala may have, I think she would have done well in that and been stronger going forward. But we don’t know that. That didn’t happen. We live with what happened. And because the president endorsed Kamala Harris immediately, that really made it almost impossible to have a primary at that time. If it had been much earlier, it would have been different.”
Note, "there may have been other candidates in the race" - in other words, the Democrats were lumped with a useless candidate who klutzed her way to defeat.
Nope, Nancy. The blame needs to be shared about more equally. If Biden shouldn't have been in the race, he should have bene told that long before the disastrous debate. The damage was done in those months before, where the upper echelons of the Democratic Party were trying to cover up Biden's mental decline. And 'upper echelons' definitely includes you, Nance.
Stop trying to distract us by pointing at Harris.
I should probably have blogged a bit more over the last four or five years. Might have got more people thinking right. The world really seems to have gone to shit since I went on hiatus.
