This is true. It was a big 64% wrong track stuff costs too much, you’re fired election. Carter ‘80. Campaign could have been 20% better but I doubt it would have changed much. Blame Biden. Should have gone far earlier, had real primary to replace him. But there were deeper
I like most of you are consumed by a desire to place blame, and there is a lot to go around. But one thing I will say this morning, I think Kamala Harris did a good job as a candidate, she performed far better than I thought she would. It is hard to face, but we were defeated

The @TLBHpodcast is a gem - I learn more from it than anything else I listen to. So it was great to be asked to take part in this episode, to talk about the world into which the JFK assassination erupted, how the two intersected, & why the shock still reverberates today.
