‘The next Obama’: Why GOP operatives think Trump should be terrified of Kamala Harris
With the second round of the Democratic debates coming next week, the horse race analysis is reaching peak levels. Should Democrats pick Joe Biden in the hopes of peeling off working class white voters? Is it time to go with a woman or a person of color?
Writing in Vanity Fair, journalist David M. Drucker writes that Trump's biggest fear should be Sen. Kamala Harris, a view affirmed by her tough and effective attacks on Biden at the last debate.
Drucker says that Harris would be a tough opponent because she might drive up the black vote. Additionally, she might appeal to suburban female voters turned off by Trump's style.

‘Facebook is a crime scene’: Filmmakers show how social media used to run ‘psychological experiments’ on voters
Two documentary filmmakers appeared on MSNBC with Stephanie Ruhle on Thursday to discuss their latest movie about the way social media is manipulated to conduct what they described as "psychological experiments" on voters.
Karim Amer and Jehane Noujaim, whose new movie "The Great Hack" premieres on Netflix this week, told Ruhle that they found that companies such as Cambridge Analytica had brilliantly exploited Facebook's algorithms to push out misinformation about Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
But even looking past the 2016 election, they say that Facebook has served as what amounts to a platform for unethical research about human behavior.
In a scathing exposé in the Washington Post, the former editor of the Liberty University's school paper accused school President Jerry Falwell Jr. of leading the fundamentalist Christian school away from Jesus with a focus on supporting President Donald Trump instead.
According to Will E. Young, now an editorial assistant at Sojourners magazine, his time as editor in chief, when he was a senior, of the Champion, Liberty University’s student-run weekly, was filled with turmoil that also included forced apologies for not toeing the school line.
