She's the one who accused Biden of racism in his past.
Yes - she attacked him hard & cannot undo that]]
Good!!
While she may be sort of technically "woman of color", it's pretty light & will not turn on blacks at all
Her record as an extremely ruthless prosecutor will NOT help get blacks .. especially in today's environment
I'm sure T will milk that and get many blacks if he plays his cards right

She seemed to be the most likely pick.....I'm not surprised at all.
I expected an "actual" black
She's merely white chocolate :wink:
plus her record of extremely harsh prosecution & strict DA will not go well with blacks, a large % of which whom they have to get to have a chance to win
She was the one I hoped for as I feel she will hurt more than help ... and .. "likable" she is not
God help Americans.
"Kamala" means awful in finnish...
You should take that as a sign.

I expected she would get the nod. She does not excite Antifa/BLM even though she says she supports reparations.
Segregation Joe will resign and she will become president.
Well, about the only state she is reasonably sure of helping him in is her Cali .. and that's moot
No one outside of Cali can like her
I say .. it will rapidly become apparent the choice is a disaster for Jo

That is what I am counting on.
Harris is an effective attack dog. But, Tulsi Gabbard put her in her place.
After Tulsi creamed called what she is, KH suddenly looked like she aged 20 years older
Here's her after with Tucker

LOL. T just said she was his # 1 draft choice & too good to be true

She is tough, we'll see what this does for Joe..
As has been mentioned, Joe Biden may resign early into his presidency......assuming he wins.
True. She is and will be used as attack dog ... it's natural for her.
At the same time it will further emphasize Jo as the weak one ... He is the one who is must look like a leader to have a chance
Also, she is nasty and that often shows in fact
While true he may resign or be forced out. That is not an arguement that will produce votes .
The only way it could is if people really wanted her as pres - while in reality, she had to bow out very early with less than 2% of total votes .. not an indication she is a vote-getter or desired at all
That fact alone should have put her on the bottom of his list .. she just is not like-able or a vote grabber
More Food For Thot
Sen. Kamala Harris checks off two big boxes for 2020 Dems — gender and race. But the moment, if not the actual choice, feels underwhelming because of the amateurish way Joe Biden and his team let the process spin out of control.
The drawn-out, overhyped vetting often made it seem as if the running mate would save the ticket. A month ago there were six finalists, then maybe 12.
Some openly campaigned, with Stacey Abrams and Karen Bass enlisting supporters to speak to Biden directly. Susan Rice talked up what she saw as her qualifications on television as if picking her was a no-brainer.
FLASHBACK: HARRIS SAYS SHE BELIEVED WOMEN WHO ACCUSED BIDEN OF INAPPROPRIATE TOUCHING
Much of the time it seemed as if the campaign was putting out leaks to give the impression there were developments when there were none. With Biden mostly basement-bound in Delaware and slow to roll out serious policy proposals, the veep hunt and the speculation took on outsized importance.
Throughout, there were two acknowledged subtexts. The first was Biden's decision, in the midst of the #MeToo movement, that it had to be a woman, a vow that immediately undercut the credentials of the winner, no matter whom it would be. That's what quotas do.
Would Harris have gotten the spot if men had been considered and acceptable? Merely to ask is to cast doubt on her.
The selection was even more tilted because it increasingly became clear that the veep candidate had to be not only a woman, but also black. The lack of enthusiasm for Hillary Clinton among black voters helped sink her four years ago.
Although Biden largely owes his nomination to the turnout of black voters in the South Carolina primary, being Barack Obama's vice president could not by itself guarantee him sufficient loyalty and turnout in November. He needed to shore up his party's most important and reliable bloc, so the intrigue was really about which black woman he would select.
The second subtext is Biden's obvious mental and physical frailties, with more than one observer noting that there was a good chance that the running mate could become president within a first term, should the Dems prevail. The president-in-waiting, as even Biden supporters put it.
Harris had, in effect, one good sound bite, "That little girl was me," and one good debate. After that, she became a target and quickly wilted over charges from also-ran Tulsi Gabbard that she had been an overly aggressive prosecutor in California on relatively minor marijuana cases.
In the end, Harris did not give the kind of performance that leaves the public wanting more. Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Amy Klobuchar, for two examples, stayed until just before the deciding contests and got far better reviews than they got at the beginning.
Does Kamala Harris still believe the woman who accused Joe Biden of unwanted touching......she will be asked that question.
She's even more stupid than Biden is...

1. She said she did outright
But then, ... that was "then" ac_biggrin
2. Oh, they keep track of left / right Senate votes. She had most left vote of entire Senate ... more left votes than Sanders even (and that's an achievement) .. a a Berkeley radical she is .. which of course will play right into T's hands
She was the very last one I thought he would pick because of that and other reasons
3. A reputation of being an extremely heavy-handed ruthless prosecutor including against blacks and Hispanics .. The details of which just being listed or mentioned are deadly for her
That last one is strange .. extreme left policies on one hand, yet heartless prosecutor .. Go figure :confused1:

JUSTIN HASKINS:
n what may go down as one of the worst vice-presidential picks in U.S. history, Joe Biden announced on Tuesday that he has chosen Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., to be his running mate for the 2020 presidential election.
Harris is exactly the opposite of what Biden needed in order to compete with President Trump in November.
She garnered so little support and enthusiasm among Democratic Party voters during the primary season that she chose to drop out of the race in December, more than a month before the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary.
Harris has been heavily criticized by many on the far left for her stances on some criminal justice issues while she served as the top prosecutor of San Francisco from 2004 to 2011 and attorney general of California from 2011 to 2017.
For example, she previously opposed a statewide police body camera mandate, fought against a reduction to California's mandatory minimum law, and opposed the legalization of marijuana -- a position she has since reversed.
But worst of all, Harris has in recent years adopted increasingly more radical policy positions, frequently aligning herself with socialist politicians like Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.
Perhaps the most notable example is Harris's support for Ocasio-Cortez's Green New Deal, the most radical, socialistic proposal in history.
Among other things, AOC's Green New Deal resolution, which Harris co-sponsored in the Senate in 2019, includes a call for single-payer health care, retrofitting every home and business building in the country, a new system of publicly-owned banks, free college tuition, "universal access to healthy food," a federal jobs guarantee, the complete destruction of the fossil-fuel industry and requirements that would prevent Americans from purchasing gasoline-powered cars.
When you add up all of Harris's proposals, it's hard to see how her platform differs substantially from that of Bernie Sanders. Although Harris denies she is a socialist, her recent track record suggests that is exactly what she is.
Biden's decision to choose Harris is bizarre, to say the least. She provides almost no political benefits and a whole lot of far-left baggage.
The reason Biden was chosen by Democratic Party primary voters in the first place is precisely because they didn't want a socialist on the ticket, and yet, that's exactly what they have ended up with now that Harris has joined the Biden campaign.
Harris's socialist policy views will not play well in the conservative Midwest and moderate upper Midwest. Middle-of-the-road voters in states such as Michigan and Wisconsin, as well as swing states further to the east, like Pennsylvania and North Carolina, have no interest in voting for the socialist policies championed by Harris.
When they find out just how radical Biden's new running mate is, it could very well prove to be catastrophic for his campaign.
With that in mind, the only person who should be happier with this pick than Kamala Harris is Donald Trump.

That's a red old deal.
Harris will not shore up support in battleground states.
It's as if Biden asked T to pick his mate
In fact, she will be played loudly in those critical states
It make zero sense :confused1: - The only productive boxes she ticks are color (sort of) and female (I think)
Lindsey Graham thinks Harris will be a formidable opponent. I believe she will be an effective attack dog.
Kamala Harris Co-Sponsored Bill That Would Force Schools To Let Male Athletes Compete In Girls' Sports

Democratic California Sen. Kamala Harris co-sponsored a bill that would force public schools to allow biologically male athletes who identify as transgender on girls' sports teams.
Among other things, the bill would force public schools to expand female athletic teams to include biological males who identify as transgender girls, as both supporters and opponents of the bill have acknowledged.
Biden has pledged to get the Equality Act signed into law within his first 100 days in office, making the Democratic ticket united on the issue of forcing schools to allow some biologically male athletes into female athletics

Of course she was born "attack dog" .. problem is that most of the items she attacks on are unwelcome to a great many people .. .including most of the middle and mainstream Demoncrats
Also, for many, "attack dogs" are immediately off-putting whatever policies are put forward .. which, along with policies is why she was unable to get above 2% .. That's really bad and suggests little support among Demoncrats

Middle and mainstream democRATs?? Are they the ones rioting in Portland, calling for reparations to all blacks and defunding the police.
The demcRATs are an extremist party.
of course .. and good point ... maybe they are extinct
still the < 2% out of 100 is a huge factor indicating that is not so
What everyone forgets and greatly distorts appearances is that the more radicals are the voices we hear.
The less radical are unheard leaving an extremely skewed impression of the overall

I can remember when it looked like Biden's campaign was dead in the water and Bernie was the likely candidate. That was then, this is now. She will throw some one liners that the msm will replay ad nauseum.
I don't recall it looking like Berie in reality
True. The MSM skews how the public would vote in a fair fight
Still, they are playing to and affecting only the choir

It was early in the primaries, and it didn't last long. Biden started the primary season about as well as Jeb Bush did with the GOP in the last presidential election. The Dems fell in line like the Republicans used to.

Kamala Harris Was Tough On Crime, Often Sided With Police Unions As California Prosecutor
https://dailycaller.com/2020/08/12/kamala-harris-california-prosecutor-defund-police-joe-biden/?utm_source=piano&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2360&pnespid=1rYxpf8AGReN04LZDKGPKgpl4pcmBWBiGRksbWVa
Sen. Kamala Harris, who dubbed herself California's "top cop" when she was the state's attorney general, had a reputation for being tough on crime when she was a prosecutor.
"We need in our city to have a district attorney who recognizes her responsibility for making sure the consequences occur for serious and violent crime," she said in a debate prior to the 2003 San Francisco district attorney election.
Harris wouldn't support legislation that would allow the public to view police disciplinary hearings in 2007 as district attorney and wouldn't support 2015 legislation when she was attorney general that would've required her to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate police deadly force incidents.
She said police departments nationwide should be "reimagined," but didn't say they should be defunded in a June interview.
Former Vice President Joe Biden's presidential campaign had its best day of grassroots fundraising after announcing Democratic California Sen. Kamala Harris as the running mate, new reports show.
The campaign raised more than $10.8 million between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. Tuesday, The New York Times reported. The figure is a nearly 400 percent increase from the same time period of the day prior. The 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. slot marked the campaign's single best fundraising hour, according to Clarke Humphrey, Biden's deputy digital director.
Hillary Clinton is not ruling out serving in this administration. :001_rolleyes:
The Biden ticket raised $48 million in 48 hours after picking Harris as veep.
