She could build the entire campaign around them.

Whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall fall in it - fall in it
And whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall fall in it (fall in it)

If you are the big tree,
Let me tell you that: we are the small axe
Sharpened ready ready to cut you down, (well sharp)
To cut you down.

Damn straight! Everything she is saying is spot on for the current attitude of the GOP controlled US govt.

I just checked out Fux Ruse and they are airing it too. Has the Donald created a nasty nickname for her yet?

I was misunderstood when I wrote last week that if she were to become POTUS she would be treated as badly as Obama and Hillary were by the racist misogynists that make up the GOP. I would love her to be the candidate but I hate seeing how the vile GOP treats opponents especially those who aren't white, older men. It makes me see red.

For 8 years, no matter how badly he was treated by the racists in the GOP, President Obama never descended to their level. And if he had, if one time he had given voice to his experience of being black in the US, he would have been immediately attacked by the GOP and the corporate media as being an angry black man.

When he spoke about Trayvon Martin, and noted that if Obama had a son...…., that statement caused some to react with outrage that he dared suggest that the US was not beyond racism.

I hope so, since our message needs to go beyond "Lock them up!" And, hopefully, by the time the campaign is in full swing, most of them will already be on their way to jail.

They could make an association between the two. Don't know if it would work.

I think the key is to play up those associations and create a sense of nostalgia. It could be very effective with the older voters. I'm just thinking strategically. I want a campaign that demolishes everyone in the primaries and then obliterates the Rump in the general.

of the great Democrats of the past - including Obama.

I am trying to be objective to pick the "best" candidate that can win.
But damn, Ms. Harris has "it."
