Harris is the VP pick for Biden

I wanted this. Of course, I also wanted Duckworth.

I thought Harris ran a disappointing campaign, but I thought she had the chops.

I've gone back and forth about this so many times. Harris was my top choice until Buttigieg stole my heart. I like Sanders and Warren more than I like Biden. I liked Booker, too, but he never really did anything to capture my attention for longer than a few minutes. Now that the chips are laid, I'm satisfied. Harris, gawd bless her, is a non-white woman. She is going to be assaulted by every manner of subhuman attacks from now until November. I will say, though, that I like the Biden-Harris ticket better than I like Biden's candidacy all by itself.
 
Worst possible choice. She brings nothing but incompetence and unlikability to the ticket.

OTOH, maybe she'll help Biden pick up the crucial swing state of California. :lamo
 
Harris argued at a Commonwealth Club forum that “people come to San Francisco to commit crimes because it’s cheaper to do it,” with the city setting lower bail rates than surrounding counties. She specifically called for higher bail in gun cases. The city court system hiked its bail rates for gun crimes the following month, over objections of defense attorneys.


Debate fact check: Kamala Harris' criminal justice record



There's a lot of little factoids like this about her. She's tough.

So in your mind she's right on Trump/Pence level, right?

Are you kidding? Her professional experience in enforcing the law first as San Francisco's district attorney and California's attorney general makes her the perfect choice. She knows the system as well as anyone.

I’m not the problem and odds are my vote is set, my comment still stand and this is already being discussed on CNN (not just FoxNews but CNN) within the last hour. I’m not saying this kills the ticket but it does make a few consider her background, and even though odds are you will fail to admit it you need others but party loyalists to get Trump out of office.

Try again and try harder.

Could have been a worse pick.

Like Pence, for example.

Oh sweet irony. His supporters won't care at all and will go on accusing her of everything under the sun: communist, racist, lesbian, and all the racial slurs - just wait...

Trump donated — twice — to Kamala Harris' campaign for California attorney general

there are reports that the black leaders told Biden if he didn't pick a black female, they wouldn't support him or that it would cost him dearly

‘He better pick a Black woman’: Biden faces Whitmer backlash - POLITICO

an example

“He better pick a Black woman. If he picks Gretchen, he’ll lose Michigan,” said Virgie Rollins, chair of the Democratic National Committee Black Caucus, who hosted Biden at her home before his Michigan primary win this spring.

or
“If he doesn’t pick a Black woman, it’s going to be an awkward day for" the VP nominee, Carr said. "There’s going to be a lot of tension, people asking, 'Why not?'”

didn't all Republicans candidates come after Trump in the debates?

Sure. But civil rights is deeply personal. Even Harris said that his stance was very "hurtful" to her.

It would be like Carly Fiorina, after Trump was a complete asswipe to her, singing his praises or accepting a position. When you're truly personally offended by what someone says or does, you aren't going to cheering them on.

But that's politics for ya. :shrug:

I don't think it was a great pick for the Democrats. She's not very likable, I don't think.

that would be a worse pick for those who want more riots, more looting, and more attacks on taxpaying citizens and the police.

Not only that, she was an anchor baby, not a natural born citizen. Neither parent was an American citizen.

I hope that goes to SCOTUS.

Oh so you're going to resort to birther conspiracy theory version 2.0? Wow man! You are just really sad.
 
I sense a lot of fear and desperation from the trumpies. Just days after announcing Trump was gaining with the black vote Biden pulls the rug out from under them, although I can't imagine how anyone did't see this coming. Well played Joe.

Not exactly, but TDS aside, I mean she's incompetent even for a Dem and unliked even by blacks.

oh yeah. they will trash her while ignoring Trump's...

  • adultery
  • cheating people out of money
  • scamming customers
  • running a corrupt charity
  • not releasing his tax returns
  • having multiple guys in prison




and it will work to a degree.

That’s not going to happen. Pence is calm and steady. She’ll get emotional, say something rude and obnoxious and shoot herself in the foot

Nothing sexist about that comment.

Classy.
 
Tahuyaman said:
Nope. The Trump campaign is excited about Biden picking Harris.

Sure he is. But then again, you believe everything Trump says so you're not the best barometer.
We know he likes her enough to donate to her past campaigns, maybe that has you both confused.

Sure ... Biden and Kamala have the black vote cornered ... :lol:


@DiamondandSilk

Jim Crow Joe picked Kamala Harris as his running mate, how convenient. One wrote the crime bill to lock up black men, and the other one followed through with it!

well if people are worried about Civil Rights they'll definitely be voting for Democrats.


you should really google what all the Republicans candidates attacked Trump on. it's funny that you don't seem to remember but are saying it's important now.
