the african-american community remember and know vividly how he worked side by side with barack obama. the question for the vice president is that he has to demonstrate that people believe he is the best person to go up against trump and a lot of people believe that. that s why he has been leading in the polls and he has to demonstrate that in debate after debate. that s the challenge for him. i don t think this is really about civil rights issues, but it was kamala demonstrating she is tough enough to take on trump and the vice president had some. barack obama departmeidn t do w his first debates, but he won the primary after that. the vice president has a lot of opportunity. we got my favorite tweet of the day, greg young. it s not about the candidates,
obama? it certainly helps. barack obama is hugely popular in the democratic party and it helps protect his base among african-american voters which is significant. that s what harris is trying to erode and booker was trying to erode by bringing this up. the question that democrats have to ask is what is the damage that could be done in beating trump if some of these disputes move from issues to personal character questions. if you are saying i don t believe you are a racist, you are about to unload a critique that said i think you kind of were a little bit in this way. what is the effect of this on the nominee if biden were to become the nominee and the effect on the debates if they move in this more personal direction? also, it has the effect of changing the way we understand
about joe biden before the nature of last night before last night. um, that may be correct, but i can t speak for senator harris, but what i will say is that the vice president s comments about known segregationist senators which is out of step and out of touch with the american people. that s the days of the past. it reminds me a lot of former senator that we had here, strom thurm thurman. this was a pivotal point in the civil rights movement. that dealt directly with bus sig african-american students. that was the predecessor to brown versus board of education. going forward, do you think this issue is settled or do you expect senator harris to continue to be in her terms in effect prosecuting this.
