Kamala is already DOA

Never really got what she was thinking.

"I've been a Senator for a year and half. I may look black, but my Mom is Indian and my husband's a white Jewish guy and I grew up in an upper middle class family most definitely NOT in the hood."

I mean I think down the road she has potential, but it's unclear why her.

no poor thing. fuck this fake bitch.

Kamala?

Too early to say. Once everyone is in and the machines start doing their work, many will fall. Trump never ran against Bernie and Bernie has enough baggage to fill the luggage compartment of a 737 (both candidate and airplane model doomed?)

Enough with the bitch calling of every female politician, asshole at R2.

^^^Shut the fuck up bitch. I call EVERYONE bitch. Male or Female.

This was probably a sound check about an hour before the event. We all know deplorables can’t be trusted with being honest.

Which bitch? What bitch?

[quote] ^^^Shut the fuck up bitch. I call EVERYONE bitch. Male or Female.

But, but... I use it for men too. You don't expect people to buy that bullshit, do you?

She’ll move up once Joe starts making some gaffes, and Bernie can’t explain how he plans to pay for free college.

She's drawing crowds like Hillary di. Nuff said.

How tone deaf can people be? Trump got elected because he is not a typical beltway politician. People don't want career politicians like Hillary or Mitt et al. They want to vote for someone who will speak to them about real shit. Like ending war, health care, education, sticking it to tha man etc.

R9 You are a bonafide idiot. What planet are you on? When you come to this website what does it say? Join the BITCHfest. That's right bitch. So take your sensitive smelly vagina outta here. You CLEARLY don't belong.

Sing it, Sister!!! I need to put the BernieBros on pause because he all but assures Trump's re-election. Even Trump knows it and he's an idiot. Many Democrats still hate Bernie. Others would just see the choice of the two oldest white men on Earth and check out. Old white men are not what I want for 2020.

I would go with Biden before Bernie. At least Biden is road-tested. Bernie is The Titanic.

This pic is fake. FF

[quote] They want to vote for someone who will speak to them about real shit. Like ending war, health care, education, sticking it to tha man etc.

Or -- apparently -- they want someone to reinforce their base emotions: fear, envy and resentment of their neighbors. Even if that person is a lying, reality TV star billionaire who has never read a book in his life. Especially if he is a sexist, mean-spirited, foul-mouthed bigot.

OP's linked Twitterer is a Bernie bro.

Bigoted cunt courting and defending bigots.

Oh our Israeli friends is back.

Yeah, link to a BernieBro slamming Kamala with a random photo that for all we know could have been taken an hour before or an hour after. Jesus, you people.

R12, are you a moron? Because that was a fucking stupid post.

R19 Oh one of our Jew hating shit stains is back.

She is tapping into her sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha, to connect with the African American women in SC. They are a very powerful group in the African American community, here, so I wonder how much they will help her.

R22, check my posts. Zero anti-Semitism.

I call blatant covert advocacy when I see it. You're a known poster.

R24 I call blatant Jew hatred. You're known bigoted scum. Just like Harris. Just like Sharpton.

SAD!

Harris and Warren seem to be the 2 candidates who get the most hate. Harris is Black, and Warren can crunch the numbers.

Obligatory Bernie is not a Democrat.

OR both embrace and defend bigots. Some may find that off-putting.

R25, lies. All lies.

R25, "bigoted scum" makes you sound super foreign. We don't use "scum" anymore — that's an 80s sitcom word. Ask your pal cute Jared what we say now.

R29 Of course they are Adolph. Or is it Ilhan? Or Louis? Or Keith? Or Rashida?

R30 sounds super stupid. But then that's what bigots are. Ignorant scum.

The Israeli agent calls out supposed anti-Semitism but not racism again African-Americans.

Wonder why.

His obnoxiousness makes me a fan of BDS 😂

*against

R33 Busted! It's the Jews are the cause of Black misfortune troll! LOL!!

R19 I'm not Israeli, and I agree she's undone herself cozying up to the Ministuh. They sat in the window, how obvious is it that she wants to be associated with the Crown Heights Kristallnachter? The Halrlem Huckster? That shriveled old hunk of rancid bacon should be in prison. For a number of reasons.

Some of us need a reminder...

Andrew Yang for president. He is gaining steam and the Bernie voters are jumping ship.

[quote]Harris and Warren seem to be the 2 candidates who get the most hate.

Hmm, wonder why?

BernieBros hate all candidates who aren’t Bernie, except a few of them like Tulsi Gabbard.

But I think they hate Beto most of all. Not sure why.

R40, because they perceive him as the biggest threat to their Saint Bernard.

The media latched on to her because she is sexy and cute...then they pushed Batty Beto on us...as usual things get ridiculous. Instead of running a very reasonably canadates...we go to extremes. Warren is not liked. Gillibrand is an unlike nobody. Booker seems to be hard to read. WE HAVE TWO OLD MEN RUNNING WHO EACH HAVE ONE FOOT IN A NURSING HOME!! When will Democrats grow a brain and just get a regular, intelligent, educated guy with experience as a candidate Sherrod Brown was the guy.

Ok, it's clear this thread is owned by late-night DNC staffers on caffeine highs. You think Russian trolls are problem? Just wait till it's primary time. UGH

R25 is a Zionist who is just like any other Nazi.

R42, no idea where you got the idea that Beto is “batty”.

Sherrod Brown was evidently NOT that guy judging from how long his campaign lasted (it didn’t even really begin).

I agree with your points essentially, but your aversion to Beto is frankly silly and unfair.

R19 R24 As a former Irish Catholic, I would say your posts are a WEE bit anti-Semitic. "Oh our Israeli friend is back" -- what is that supposed to communicate? I'm thinking it means, "don't listen to him/her, its a Jew." Am I wrong in my assumption ? And it's rich that you call the poster who calls you out a "Nazi." One should be more careful. Or self-aware.

[quote]"I've been a Senator for a year and half.

I think you're correct that running for President when you've only been in the Senate for 2 years is a bit premature. Obama did it, but he was an exceptional candidate who comes along once in a generation.

For most other candidates, running for President so soon is risky.

She's going to get nailed to the cross because of her extreme AG prosecutions versus her current no-death penalty and weed and mass-incarceration messages. You can't back-peddle that much. Plus, everybody's going to know her first two federal jobs were given for "dating" Willie Brown, while he was still married. Church ladies still care about that stuff. Actually taxpayers do too.

Kamala has very poor judgment. You would think a career prosecutor would be able to smell a rat (Jussie Smollett) from a mile away.

If the rat is black, you can't attack.

Isn’t she polling 3rd amongst democrats? That’s hardly doa. I think she has a very good chance which is probably why the op is sending out attacks. It’s too early to say who’s going to run away with this.

[quote]her extreme AG prosecutions versus her current no-death penalty

What I don't get is, why didn't Kamala take a position against the death penalty when she was AG?

I supported her in 2010 and was glad she won the AG position over the Republican guy -- it was one of the few highlights that night in a bad Midterms night for the Dems (the other highlight was Sen. Barbara Boxer getting re-elected).

But then when she became AG, I was disappointed that she said she was going to do nothing about the death penalty. So she waits until now when Gov. Newsom says he wants to abolish it. Why?

Just because you are a racist pig, r49 it does not mean she is.

R52 She was defending it based on CA state law, which I think is legitimate. She should have said that at the time though- *except* logically she would have been undermining her argument, which isn't good either. I just can't can't stand her absolute current denial of a need for the death penalty, when CA has some of the most egregious horrible cases in the nation. There's a website that describes what each felon did to deserve the sentence.

R53 So only racist pigs doubted Jussie? You didn't? Because seriously, if you didn't, you're on the spectrum, for sure.

Sherrod did not run but he would have been the best candidate, who could have won. If you follow Beto and some of the very silly things he says you will think you are supporting a teenager.

Across the West, there is more Indian politicians, hoping to get the Indian voting block, to get across the line.

[quote]Sherrod did not run but he would have been the best candidate, who could have won.

You may be right. Nate Silver said last week that he thinks Sherrod was the strongest chance the Dems had against Trump.

Nate Silver hasn't been relevant since 2012. Check your Blackberry

[quote]Nate Silver said last week that he thinks Sherrod was the strongest chance the Dems had against Trump.

Where did he say this? I listen to every 538 podcast and read all of their politics articles, and I do not recall Nate saying or writing this. It would also be very (extremely) out of character for him to make a definitive statement like this, given the paucity of evidence.

[quote]Nate Silver hasn't been relevant since 2012.

This is one of the dumbest things I've read on Datalounge.

R60, Nate said this about Sherrod Brown on March 7 after Brown announced he wasn't running for President:

[quote]First person who I actually thought had a chance to win who isn't running.

I am wise enough to know that this country is full of racist homophobes so I naturally believed him. Has he confessed to anything. Believe me, I never ever trust a Chicago cop. I know there are many ignorant racist here and many of you always assume a black man is guilty before any evidence is brought.

Reparations!

[quote]When will Democrats grow a brain and just get a regular, intelligent, educated guy with experience as a candidate

'Regular' meaning a white, straight, Christian male. Everybody else is irregular and wrong, I guess. Never mind that the base of the party is black women.

Sorry, only a white straight man with non-socialist views can beat Trump.

The candidate who always wins is the one who voters “most want to have a beer with.”

That’s Bill Clinton, George W, Obama, and Trump.

It was never going to be Sherrod Brown, especially against Trump.

[quote] Sorry, only a white straight man with non-socialist views can beat Trump.

Trump shouldn't have won. He upended conventional wisdom, so I don't think you can apply that conventional wisdom to 2020. Look at who won Congressional seats in the 2018 midterms. That's the direction our country is headed.

We just need Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. They have shifted back into the blue column. We do not need red or purple states in 2020.

If it’s down to who people want to have a beer with, it’s Biden first. Then maybe Bernie and Beto. Although Pete Buttigieg seems like he’d be fun to have a beer with. If any of the women are in that category they’re going to have to prove it. Maybe Stacey Abrams.

Who in their right mind would want to have a beer with an egotistical cantankerous prickly old fart like Bernie, R68??

No.

R38 is correct. Andrew Yang is up and coming. This podcast is incredible, I had never heard of this guy before. He seems reasonable, articulate, intelligent, and very much for the working class. All the above bickering is exactly what the powers that be love. All these candidates are being fed to the fools. Listen and learn. Bernie is over, trump is over, Biden is over, and token identity politicians of all stripes are OVER.

I am so sick of people calling others racist pigs when they disagree with their position. Can we just take race out of it? Jussie's story stunk the minute it came out nothing to do with the color of his skin.

Kamala is having a Town Hall currently. She's WAY too speechy and long winded! She's not even as skilled as Hillary at listening to a question and then steering it toward the answer or subject she wants to talk about. She needs to SHORTEN her answers drastically and make them more succinct!

She's letting Lawrence O'Donnell corner her on his obsession with "Bernie's Medicare 4 All, OR ELSE!" She should have snapped back at him and just said, "I'll sign what congress sends me if it covers everyone! Getting rid of private insurance isn't going to be some easy lift if you want everyone covered NOW!" Instead she kind of avoided his dumb question/trap.

I wish her voice wasn't so thin and shrill. People say that's not important, but it is, they're just unaware of it. I still like her, but I wonder if she'll take off, or not.

Thank you r72. I liked Kamala from the start, but I quickly recognized issues with her presentation. Why these people don't include a speech therapist in their consultant contracts is beyond me.

I also notice that my boy Pete has issues maintaining eye contact. He, like Kamala, is sharp as a tac so I know his brain is just processing, but eye contact is important.

Home-state Senator Kamala Harris has seized the top spot from Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Elizabeth Warren is fast gaining traction in delegate-rich California, according to a new Quinnipiac University Poll released Wednesday.

The latest Quinnipiac California poll shows Harris leading among 2020 presidential hopefuls, with 23 percent of California Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters now behind her — surging six points since the last Quinnipiac survey in April. Biden, at 21 percent, has lost five points in that same period.

Fun redtag on the OP!

She's a fine and worthy candidate. She, Warren and Pete.

I will support anybody that is put up against tRump.

Kamala has made missteps (some big ones) but she's very smart and I hope evolving.

Also, I think she is relatable and likeable. Things Sec. Clinton was lacking. And yes, I voted for her anyway.

It's too early to tell yet but I see her as a strong V.P. choice.

I find her very beautiful. Anyone else the same?

No I think she's really attractive too, R78. I prefer Pete, Julian and Elizabeth to her policies and ideas, though.
