Well said. Biden didn't go this far in marginalizing Harris, but his neglect of his duty, in my view anyway, to make a public demonstration of his confidence in the person who would succeed him if he died in office can be compared with JFK's similar neglect of his duty vis a vis LBJ. Also, Harris, with proper preparation and a good speech coach, perhaps, could make a strong appeal to those men and women willing to continue the fight for a Living Constitution.
I was just thinking about LBJ this morning in this regard. My sense is that LBJ was widely disliked by JFK's close circle, while Biden's treatment of Harris was in pursuit of a political goal-being able to run for a second term.
At least the SCOTUS, with its "Immunity" holding, has made it more difficult for Pres. Trump to prosecute former Pres. Biden :(

Yes, that's right, and the result in both cases was to fail to build public confidence in the VP among supporters of JFK then and JB now.
Yup.
Amen and be careful what you wish for. That was, to date, the most cogent analysis, reporting and projection I have read. Thanks
Thanks for reading my work and thanks for the kind words.
