Subject:  Talking points re Senator Harris withdrawing from 2020 race

With Senator Harris's withdrawal from the race some disloyal critics are whining that the Democrat field no longer has a half-black female.  That awful Tucker Carlson is laughing that this is due to the fact that Democrat voters didn't like Harris.

We must counter this message, so please work the following talking points into your columns and broadcasts:

• All Democrat voters liked Harris.  She should still be in the race, and her dropping out must be due to one of three factors:
• The most obvious is racism.  Clearly Harris is brilliant and likeable, but white Americans just aren't ready to elect a black person to the presidency.
• A second reason is sexism:  Clearly American males are biased against nominating a woman for president.
• A third reason is Russian influence:  Everyone knows Russia intervened in the 2016 election to help Trump win, so there can be no doubt Putin is intervening again to torpedo excellent challengers to Trump next year.  This give you a new angle to push the Russian collusion meme.
• Finally, Trump himself probably called out his army of cult members to post negative comments about Senator Harris.  Because it's impossible to prove this, the sky's the limit on your creativity.

We need full message discipline on this, and specifically we can't allow critics to paint our Party as not being totally supportive of black or female candidates.  Or transgender candidates.  Or trans-racial candidates.  You see where I'm going here.
