That’s interesting. Nothing to offer to the country, or nothing to offer to you? Is it that she ACTUALLY had nothing to offer or just that the news didn’t convey what she did have very well? She had a lot of specific policies but I didn’t see much about them on the news I myself consume—including MSM of the print/pixel variety. I don’t watch TV news at all, so I have not idea what they were preaching.

I should have mentioned that I only watch Canadian news shows. Maybe they did her a disservice. She was hobbled somewhat since she couldn't deviate significantly (and implicitly criticize) from the outgoing administration of which she was VP.

Re. glass ceiling, etc.: I've worked in quite a few organizational environments, and some of the female management I've seen exhibit the "alpha male" behaviour, whether inherent or chosen career-enhancing technique. Harris didn't have that, so some voters may not have perceived her as a strong leader, "commander-in-chief" more specifically.

And what do Canadians think of the "strong" commander in chief-to-be with his collection of kakistockic band of administrators? The Faithful think this is fine because tRump will be "commanding all." Tulsi Gobbledlegook? HagSith? Don't forget fallout blows across borders.....

The way it's being reported here is that Thune (and his secret electors) represent a damper to the turbulence.

I wonder if a lone weirdo is being groomed.

There is a big part of me that says Bring On the Turbulence. MSM is paying attention, at least NBC: “Matt Gaetz, Trump’s pick to oversee Jan. 6 cases, backed rioters and spread conspiracy theories”

I am hoping Smith will wind down the cases before Gaetz gets his grubby paws on them so that Garland will release the full report of what we COULD have seen at trial.
