    Maureen Dowd’s Lacuna-ing of Tim Kaine is a timely reminder that a forgettable do-no-harm running mate can be a mistake. The voters Clinton needed in 2016 were Bernie fans under 40 who could have been thrown a bone, but weren’t.

        Biden’s math is easier than Clinton’s because older white voters don’t hate him as much, so there’s not the same pressure. Left has also been sort of lost on the veepstakes, hence the 11th hour effort to turn Karen Bass, who hadn’t been vetted, into a compromise choice.

        I love John Nichols but his column exemplified this, pitching Nina Turner (who hates Biden), Barbara Lee (who’s 74), and Bass (who has been dunk-tanked by national exposure).

        It’s always, always, Hillary’s fault. THAT hasn’t been forgotten by journobros like Dave.
