Imagine telling someone on July 10 that before the White Sox win another game, Kamala Harris would've picked her running mate.

@RadioFreeTom You get the sense that many of these people are more interested in losing to prove a point than accepting the realities of trying to win an election.

No. This is not about giving it your all and doing the goodest job you can do. This is about BEATING DONALD TRUMP AND SAVING THE COUNTRY. I’m sorry, but we need more. We need a plan to change course and win.
