I am hoping for a richer discussion of June 27, 2019 that addresses the hard thing Biden was trying to do (find a position on busing that white voters in the 70s and 80s didn't hate) and the hard thing Harris was trying to do (explain how opposition to busing had downsides.) — PolitiTweet.org

Some critics of Harris have implied she is untrustworthy and too ambitious--and they are fixated on June 27, 2019. In an ideal world, they would explain how a black Dem pol could criticize a white Dem pol on a racial issue in a way that would not seem too mean to the white Dem. — PolitiTweet.org

I have heard Harris publicly discuss these criticisms of Biden as just being part of the process. I probably agree that attacking someone on busing should be like attacking them on health care (part of the process) but I suspect Chris Dodd doesn't see it that way. — PolitiTweet.org

Warren criticized Biden on a lot of issues during the primary. But those criticisms probably aren't coming up in the vp process that much in part because they weren't as charged as a black person criticizing a white person about a racial issue, with the word racist used. — PolitiTweet.org

I think Harris was actually trying to say, "I am about to criticize you, white person, on a racial issue, but I am not saying you are terrible on all racial issues." I think some in the Biden camp were like, "how dare she invoke the term 'racist' when talking about Joe Biden?" — PolitiTweet.org

On the busing issue, Biden did not (and has not) backtracked from his wariness about some of the school integration approaches of the 1970's and 1980s. And Biden and Harris don't differ much on the issue now--neither is pushing aggressive efforts to integrate schools. — PolitiTweet.org

It's worth looking back at a specific section of the June 27, 2019 Democratic presidential debate. I am guessing this entire exchange lasted only about 10 minutes, but it's become very important. This is the main thrust of Sen. Harris's criticism of Biden that night. https://t.co/w4Oa8Wpzfh — PolitiTweet.org

That said, Cheney is so conservative that she could never be cast as a RINO and has a confidence that Ryan lacks. Also, Trump could be out of office in 6 months--so some Republicans may decide being super deferential to him is no longer necessary. — PolitiTweet.org

The Jordan-Meadows-Trump-Freedom Caucus coalition is powerful--they basically forced out the Speaker of the House (Paul Ryan) two years ago. So the politically-safe move for Cheney would be for her send out some obsequious tweet in the next few days praising the president. — PolitiTweet.org
