    I noticed that as well. Her campaign went from electric excitement to, well, I don’t know quite what I’d call it. Resignation maybe? It reminded me a lot of the Hillary campaign by the end, and I continually got the impression that Kamala wasn’t really in the driver’s seat for her campaign. Here’s the moment that I started getting nervous, and someone in the campaign should have started smashing the panic button: Obama lecturing down to black men for not supporting Kamala enough.

    HUGE yikes moment when you start finger-wagging a group that’s supposed to be your base for not supporting you enough. Obama’s a smart dude, so I really have no idea wtf he thought he was doing here, and no idea why anyone ever thought staging and publishing this was a good thing to do. This should have been a red flag visible from space in so many ways.
