as she kicks off her presidential bid in CA. I get the feeling the crowd wants the entire tRump admin and GOP enablers to get prosecuted (her skill as a prosecutor).

(51,584 posts)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.

(42,641 posts)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.

(17,984 posts)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.

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

(51,584 posts)for now anyway. Great speech. I found myself clapping to the TV after she concluded her remarks.
