The Wisemen chewed on this gristle specifically yesterday.
There is not one Black Demo who has pushed PoJo to "reconsider". It's been all white guys and gals.The Congressional Black Caucus was unanimous and enthusiastic.
Black voters are the backbone of the Democratic Party. They love PoJo. He wouldn't be president without them, specifically Jim Clyburn. The Black church that PoJo attended over the weekend gave him sanctuary, wrapped him in a protective cocoon. “Hands off our president!” William told me that yesterday. "They're like a lynch mob coming for him" he said. Powerful word coming from a Black man. But Demos can't win with just Black votes.
William repeated yesterday something he had said before, that Republicans don't want to run against Kamala Harris. I gave the kaleidoscope a one-quarter turn and asked him to take a look: "You know the Black community better than I do" I began. If Biden withdraws and Kamala is the replacement, and she loses to Trump, then it's the Black woman's fault. Couldn't it set back Black women from becoming president in the future? This is a problem of an old white guy's making. It would be soo like an old white guy to run and leave a Black person holding the bag. Wouldn't she be a scapegoat? another powerful word to Black people. "I see what you're saying" William said softly.
I don't know, it's just another angle that I thought of. Hillary didn't break the glass ceiling. If Kamala tries and fails under these circumstances, it's a problem.
