"SNIP.....
Kamala Harris is shaking up the top ranks of her presidential campaign, the latest sign her once-promising bid is failing to meet expectations, Politico reports.
The staff moves amount to a significant reorganization for a campaign thats dropped so far in polls that it risks becoming a postscript in the Democratic primary. Harris light early-state schedule, hiccups on the trail and lack of consistency in delivering her message have consumed much of the attention and blame for her mounting struggles.

It's looking more and more like it's Warren to me. Warren clearly has the right experience surrounding her, she has the message, she has the energy, and she has the momentum.

(7,447 posts)those who make two groups, and those who...
wait no that's not it...
People are who great at the big picture but need help on the little details, and people who are great with the little details but need help on the big picture.
I've not met a lot of smart people who are great at both...maybe one or two.

(118,690 posts)And "there are two types of people: those who think there are two types of people and those who don't" is my saying i took from a economics book i was reading in the library in Nova Scotia one time. But you knew that.. it must render on your computer but not on my cell phone.

(118,690 posts)with big picture thinking pick up on details if they form a pattern. And detailed people can be experts at anything they are taught..which could be philosophy which is the pinacle of big picture thinking.

(7,447 posts)my whole point was in fact that yes "many are one extreme or the other" despite the fact that some can pull both off.
You listed three people who are literally at the apex of humanity, extremely intelligent people who succeeded at the hardest, and one of the most intellectually strenuous jobs on the planet.
so, ya know, exceptions.

(31,261 posts)ideologues and down to earth thinkers. A good camoaign needs both. Look at her campaign's labor negotiations and compare that to Bernie's campaign. There was no news coming out as Warren's senior staff negotiated with the Union. Once an agreement that both sides like was reached, a simple statement was released by both sides. We saw what happened with Bernie's senior staff negotiating with the Union. Warren moves flawlessly between states, her immediate staff working seamlessly with state and local staff. At some point, all that stuff starts to matter for people that are looking for a leader, Warren looks like a leader.
