Ask your neighbor where the black people in Jamaica were before they came to Jamaica (or more likely, were brought there). Doh!

It's weird conservative clucking, huh? I mean, dunno who they're trying to convince of what, other than each other.

Wonder what conspiracy theory they have cooked up about her to try and spread? Pedophilia? Cannabilism? Corruption?

Something along those lines. Trump is probably relieved this means she won't be the one prosecuting him 😃
She will for sure have a voice in who's AG, and likely will be in that person's ear. She's feisty and aggressive. Trump is already dumping his putrid brains on the matter of her being the VP pick. Trying to find anything negative he can. She's no shrinking violet. Biden isn't either. I think she will embolden him. But they're going to be separate mostly due to the virus. A lot of virtual stuff will be happening. This won't be boring. But you can depend on Trump to be nauseating. All the way to the end and beyond.

The Fox News universe is just all over the map on this tonight. The most predictable pick possible and it’s like a tornado hit a sewage plant and is just chaotically flinging shit everywhere.

I guess THIS is what happens when OTHER PEOPLE chose your running mate FOR YOU. I absolutely HATE Donald Trump, but also I am realistic. This is a weak ticket that will be on defense all thru the process, constantly dodging whatever Trump and Fox News tosses at them. And when they lose, I sure hope the politically correct of the democratic party can salvage some sort of moral victory out of their loss. I hate to say it but Joe Biden needed a man for the job. Could of been a black man or Hispanic man, but a man because this is no time to be politically correct. Not this time when up against the republican testosterone, and getting rid of Trump is so urgent. I'm feeling a Walter Mondale, Geraldine Ferraro re-do.
You're delusional.

Not defending the neighbor here obviously - but the whole concept of "African American" is political correctness. Just because their skin is black doesn't mean they were a direct descendent of Africa.... Unless you're talking about humans in general, which would mean we're all African Americans lol.

well harris is the next president if Biden is elected in November. interesting choice for Biden picking someone who said a number of derogatory things about Biden in the past.
He said he doesn't carry a grudge, which is probably actually true and very much to his credit.

It’s politics, people say mean things about you. It would be nice to have a grownup in the White House who realizes getting shit done is more important than nursing whatever petty grudges you have against people for saying something mean to you.

Going to give conservatives a huge free tip here. Do not attempt to litigate Harris’ race - all it does is reinforce the idea that conservatives are racist and to put it simply you’re not going to convince America she’s not black.

Will Harris’s lighter tone and mixed background be a benefit, disadvantage or is it now irrelevant
My thought is it will help more than hurt. Whites looking at her don't see a black, especially the women. Blacks know, you have black blood, you're black. They know this better than whites. Doesn't matter, the blacks would vote for Biden if he picked a mop for a running mate. Anyway, I don't expect racial attacks to mean much in the next 90 days. Yes, the GOP will try to get racist votes, and it will work for some. I don't think enough to get them a 2nd term.

One attack on Harris I know will come, Russians and Republicans will put out the notion she isn't really black and constantly point to her husband. Attempting to divide the black vote.

That's won't be successful but they think it will be.
Most devastating attack will be using her sex for advancement with Willie Brown, not sex itself because Trump and many politicians had affairs but a woman using it for advancement goes against everything women have fought against in the corporate political world and the Hollywood casting couch.


" In the mid-1990s, Harris had dated Brown, who was investigated by the FBI when he was speaker of the California Assembly and as mayor was dogged by conflict of interest, and she had benefited from his political patronage. As the speaker of the state Assembly, Brown had named Harris to well-paid posts on the California Medical Assistance Commission and Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board. As mayor of San Francisco in 2003, Brown was supportive of her district attorney campaign although they were no longer dating. Critics—including her opponents—were bemoaning cronyism at City Hall. "

We are, 100%, going to get one or more lengthy rambling arguments from Trump about why she is not black. Take this to the bank.

Warren needs to do her good works in the Senate with a majority.
And Kamala leaving the Senate is no threat to Democratic control of the Senate because CA is so solidly Democratic it's breath taking. Her replacement will be a Democrat.

WELL.... At least now we know why Tulsi Gabbard ran in the democratic primary. To humiliate people like Harris on stage in front of the cameras to give Sean Hannity fuel for insults should Harris become the nominee OR... the VP pick.
Thank you Tulsi Gabbard, thank you for being the little skunk that are are.
And I hope you didn't swallow when you went down on Hannity, he had VD. Caught it from Bill.

That's Joe's job. One of the reasons he's the nominee. Non threatening to rural red state.

Thing is... we can all see his age. It is an issue. A BIG ISSUE. Assuming they win... his Vice President WILL be President.
