…first, that it’s incredibly one-sided and strained through the eyes of one of the most partisan of partisan writers. He places the blame on Biden, who “totally f’d us” meaning that Biden f’d Kamala Harris’ campaign. I would argue that Biden f’d the Democratic Party by anointing Harris…and they shouldn’t have let her run in the first place. She was terrible in 2020, one of the first Dems to drop out in 2020 in New Hampshire…literally had 1/10th the number of write-in votes that Trump received! Everything about her is wrong as a candidate; brittle, combative, dislikeable, filled with odd and off-putting quirks, tells easily-uncovered lies, ran far to the Progressive Left etc. etc.
As a VP, she was the definition of a DEI hire. Biden even said so, that he would have a woman of color as his VP. Fine…but that woman? She was terrible. Biden laid Harris on the Dems to screw them over and it worked.

Second…I obviously haven’t read Tapper’s book, but books like these are disingenuous in the extreme. It mentions that Biden’s physical deterioration was noticeable in 2023 when he started making noise about running. Ah, no. His physical deterioration was apparent in 2020, and in 2021 when his staff started hiding him and preventing others from interacting with him.
I kind of get it. No other Democrat was likeable enough to win, certainly not the frontrunners like Sanders and Pocahontas.

I have a hypothesis that there are good, centrist Democrats who are fully electable in a general election.
But…
They are totally ineligible due to the tendency of Democrat leaders (in ANY industry, btw) to exercise their ideological power over their practical power. They would rather RUN a nutjob leftist (or in industry HIRE a poorly qualified identity) than actually WIN.
You can’t tell me that Amy Klobuchar couldn’t have been a better candidate than Kamala. Same w/ Shapiro.
In the funny way that CNN is to blame for the rise of Trump the politician, the Democrats are to blame for re-electing Trump. They couldn’t get out of their own way.
Out of 50 nationally known Democrats, Kamala was probably the absolute worst option.

100% agree with your take. I had heard that when Harris interviewed Shapiro for the VP role, he basically communicated that he felt he should have the top role rather than Harris.
Harris was a stunningly poor choice. She made Dukakis look like FDR, Lincoln and Washington rolled into one. But the Dems can’t get out of their own way.

Someone should burn in hell for this. Starting with Jill Biden. Of course the dems will say it wasn’t the first time a first lady was calling the shots.
