Her abhorrent behavior during the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings plus everything else she’s stuck her nose into should provide for some embarrassing sound bites. Plus her adulterous affair with San Fran mayor Willie Brown shouldn’t help her with the religious voters.

Joe Biden has selected Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate

Perfect!
She's perfect for him...

It sickens me to think of the having to hear that voice for the next three months.

Well, he was Speaker of the State Legislature at the time, but yes.

Kamala, eh? Here's hoping she falls flat on her face.

YES!!

For the first time in history.....and probably the last time a Dem Pres candidate made me happy!!

No, it’s not true at all. Remember how during the primaries blacks couldn’t stand her and didn’t vote for her?

The real question is, does this do enough to energize the black vote? However, even if it does, if Joe does bad enough in the debates, it could scare off moderate Democrats enough that they don’t turn out and more than offset what Kamala brings.

Sure an overzealous prosecutor, who slept her way to the top, and was dirty. That should totally win over the black vote.

Scary to imagine this as our CinC!

President Trump will get a higher percentage of the black vote than he did in 2016.

Mostly black neighborhoods voted more Republican in 2016 than in 2012

But now she is THE Black candidate....if only for VP. Blacks will vote for her(them) solely because she is black. I'm curious to hear your counter reasoning.

She'll be the "fall guy" when her and old Sleepy Joe lose. I can hear it now...Biden was ahead by double digits until he picked Harris to be his running mate. She lost the election for him. He was a shoe-in!

K Harris:

.@JussieSmollett is one of the kindest, most gentle human beings I know. I’m praying for his quick recovery.

This was an attempted modern day lynching. No one should have to fear for their life because of their sexuality or color of their skin. We must confront this hate.

Here’s The Real Reason Why Kamala Harris Was Not ‘Black Enough’ For Some Black Voters
Dienekes / December 14, 2019
Kamala Harris’ dropping out of the Democratic primary has media pundits talking about ‘racism’ as though it was white Democrats who rejected Kamala Harris. The fact is, Kamala Harris was not ‘black enough’ for some black voters.

To hear the media tell it, Kamala Harris ending her quest to become the Democrat Party’s nominee for President was the result of racism and sexism.

“We can note the mistakes of the Kamala Harris campaign while recognizing that the road became tougher for her, throughout the campaign, simply because she inhabits the body and skin that she does,” wrote Rolling Stone’s Jamil Smith.

“No other candidate saw herself targeted, at as high a perch, by as many racist and sexist attacks as Harris,” Smith wrote.

What the media (or Smith) is not saying out loud, though, is if Harris was indeed the victim of racism and sexism, since only Democrats decide who their nominee is, that racism and sexism is entirely within the Democrat Party.

What the media is also not talking about, however, is that to many African American voters, Kamala Harris is not ‘black enough.’

“I hate to tell people this but there is empirical evidence of different outcomes for immigrant black people versus native born black folk,” tweeted Tressie McMillan Cottom, a sociology professor at Virginia Commonwealth University, back in January.

“I don’t know who is saying what but it is disingenuous to suggest this isn’t true,” McMillan Cottom stated.

Although the conversation began much earlier with Barack Obama’s candidacy, Obama was able to overcome it. Kamala Harris, apparently, could not.

Among the African American community, though, Harris was doomed almost from the outset.

Here are some of the reasons why:

Given her Jamaican and Indian parents, Harris is not “ADOS” [an American Descendent of Slavery]
Harris’ ancestor was (reportedly) a slave owner in Jamaica
As a former prosecutor and attorney general of California, Harris was accused of putting a disproportionate number of black men into California’s prisons
Lastly, Harris is married to a white guy

As Ricky L. Jones, chair of Pan-African Studies at the University of Louisville, writes:

While some members of the self-involved black bourgeoisie nauseatingly praised her, younger blacks and black progressives were taking deeper, dispassionate dives into Harris’ real-world record. They didn’t like what they found.

Of particular note is the level criticism that those who identify as ‘ADOS’ heaped upon Harris–even after she dropped out.

Below is just a small sampling of the #ADOS comments on Twitter that indicate Harris had no traction among many in the black community:

So @KamalaHarris telling black people she ain't doing shit for us isn't the reason her ass got cancelled, it's because we negroes seek a white savior .. how sway!! #ADOS

Emhoff is a partner at DLA Piper, a global law firm with locations in more than 40 countries. The firm represents Fortune 500 and Global 1000 enterprises, emerging companies, and technologies, along with advising government and public sectors.

According to his bio, Emhoff is a litigator and advisor with more than 25 years of experience. He is licensed to practice in California and Washington, D.C. He joined DLA Piper in 2017, and before that he was with Venable, where he helped oversee the firm’s West Coast expansion.

Before joining DLA Piper, Emhoff worked on the famous lawsuit involving the Taco Bell mascot, the Psycho Chihuahua. Wrench sued Taco Bell for $42 million for breach of contract, claiming that Wrench had created the Chihuahua character, Newsweek reported. Wrench won and Taco Bell tried to make the ad agency TBWA cover the settlement. Emhoff helped TBWA not be on the hook for that money. That ruling came in 2009, after Taco Bell tried to sue TBWA, claiming they should have known about the similar theme and claiming their contract indemnified Taco Bell, AM Law Daily reported.

His J.D. is from Southern California Gould School of Law in 1990 and his B.A. from California State University in 1987.

When Harris dropped out of the race, Emhoff shared a photo of the two embracing while she sat in his lap, with Emhoff writing: “I’ve got you. As always.”

He was known for sharing highlights and behind-the-scenes photos while his wife was campaigning. And during the race, he and Pete Buttigieg’s husband, Chasten Buttigieg, became friends.

Heels Up Harris!

They certainly didn't support her in the primary against Joe...

What a tone deaf pick in the middle of riots purportedly based on criminal justice / police brutality reforms.

I take it to signal that they're basically just going through the motions, half expecting to lose.

This seems like a good thing for us.
