harris is shaping up to be our next Democratic nominee for POTUS. What will Drumpf call her?

After all, we can expect no less than "Pocahontas" and his snide remark about Obama pulling biden from the trash heap.

It makes me so mad . I think our response, said in unison from the crowds at Harris' campaign speeches, is "LIttle hands!" It will piss the Donald off so much he'll probably lose it at some point. His little hands are prolly something he REALLY wants to keep quiet about...

Well played. Even though I'm a Harris supporter, I know it is way, way early. Remember when John McCain won the Republican nomination? Yea, 9 months before that his campaign basically imploded and he had to start all over. Having said that, If Kamala could go on The Arsenio Hall show and play the sax, I think that would basically seal the deal.

Sun Feb 24, 2019, 08:45 PM
Feb 2019

except for the story about her appeal of the ruling that would make the potential length of time court proceedings take a reason to deny a defendant due process. That type of intellectual deception is disappointing, to say the least

I think we can also debunk at this point the innocent queries of many of those who are feigning concern that the right likes Kamala Harris. It's a ridiculous claim, and I don't think that tactic will work again.

I wonder why Senator Harris scares some people so. She doesn't seem to scare most Democrats, and it's heartening that she's exactly the type of candidate who will punch back when she needs to.

Sun Feb 24, 2019, 09:26 PM
Feb 2019

I'm sure that there may be some who are willing to conflate the organization with the person at the top.

Of course, this poses a danger for all candidates. For example, if the organization a candidate led was shaken by credible allegations of sexual violence, sexual harassment, and a pervasive predatory culture, the person at the top would be the responsible party, even if he or she claimed ignorance about the events at the time they were happening.

The gloves will be off this time, and I wouldn't be surprised if every candidate among the Democrats is more than prepared to punch back better than he or she gets.

Rookie moves don't play well in the big leagues, and Democrats will not allow a replay of the nonsensical narratives that led to the election of Trump in 2016.
