Steve, why did you waste your time with this guy? It's a waste of your talent.
By the way, there had to be people in Biden's camp who had to be aware of the humiliating position Biden put Judge Jackson in despite her impeccable background. Makes me wonder about the contents of the conversation between Rep. Clyburn and Biden's people …
Steve, why did you waste your time with this guy? It's a waste of your talent.
By the way, there had to be people in Biden's camp who had to be aware of the humiliating position Biden put Judge Jackson in despite her impeccable background. Makes me wonder about the contents of the conversation between Rep. Clyburn and Biden's people that produced the icebreaking Clyburn endorsement in the primary. Did Clyburn make Biden promise to commit publicly to nominate an African American female? We may never know, but that would explain what is otherwise inexplicably insensitive and stupid on Biden's part.
"Did Clyburn make Biden promise to commit publicly to nominate an African American female?"
Yeah, I wasn't aware of this, one of my readers mentioned Clyburn's part in making Biden commit to an African American female in a comment, but I haven't spent much time "digging into it"😁 But as you say, there had to be people who understood the position he was putting his eventual nominee in by publicly declaring these criteria.
If he makes deals like this behind closed doors? Fine. I'm sure these kinds of machinations take place in every case. But to highlight these selection criteria publicly, especially as there were so many other more relevant considerations he could have highlighted, is pretty damning.
I've gone into a little more details on why I engage with people like Allan in another reply. But it's good to know that if I want all my readers to tell me how smart and talented I am, all I need to do is engage with the occasional idiot.😁

He could have (and should have) led with other selection criteria. That would have been the politically astute (and mature) choice.
