Kamala!

[George K]

Axlerod claims that Kamala was not Biden's first pick - he would have chosen Whitmer (sp?) of Michigan or Fauxachontas.

But Harris ticked the right checkmark, female (Can I say that?) and mullato African American black Black.

[Mik]

Whitmer would have been a better choice. Not sure about Warren.

[Mik]

Will black Americans see Harris as 'authentically' black? A prosecutor? I have my doubts, and she has a whole lot of nasty statements shes going to have to walk back awkwardly from the primaries, which is going to give her huge credibility problems.

Kamala is going to do so much better than people think. The fear is justified, and the attacks are very much fear centered.

The only real risk is that she makes Biden look weak in comparison.

You may well be right. The media certainly will support her and quash criticism.

[Mik]

On the other hand, she didn't get squat going in the primaries no matter how low she went.

... if you saw her during the Kavanaugh lynching hearings.

Getting nostalgic, eh, @Mik?

Thought this was a funny remembrance of hers (regardless of whether you like or dislike her).

"When she was studying in law school, she was living with her sister Maya and her young daughter. She recalled her experience potty-training her niece:

“I’m dealing with this brutal stuff, dog-eat-dog in school, and then I would come home and we would all stand by the toilet and wave bye to a piece of shit. It will put this place in perspective.” "

Now I ask, did the Kamala selection change a single vote to Biden? Was there anybody out there saying “I wasn’t going to vote for Biden, but now that he’s picked Kamala, I have changed my mind!”?

Seriously, though, LD, read the Bulwark piece I posted earlier.

Wow.. i guess that explains why she won the democrat nomination for preside....... oh wait.... she was one of the first ones to drop out. What was her "soaring approval rating at that - 2%?......

@jon-nyc Good article. I think it does explain it. well.

Whut.

@LuFins-Dad said in Kamala!:

Harris has a frigging horrible record when it comes to criminal justice and the African American community?!

I guess she has the black vote ... locked up.

@Klaus said in Kamala!:

So, what kind of person is Kamala? Which "wing" of the party does the belong to?

She was more of a centrist type (former prosecutor and all) before but when she ran for president she shifted left a bit. She’ll be able to mirror Biden without really having to fake it.

Yes, she's young enough to run in another eight years.

Secret Service gave her the code name ‘47’.

Was "69" already taken?
