Some interesting commentary on Kamala. I'm moving her from possible to probable. All depends on how she does against Warren. I think she can wax the floor with Warren. She can resonate with younger people, woman, blacks, hard core dems and hispanics. She's slicker than perceived by most.
I predicted she'd be the one to beat a year ago. https://elitetrader.com/et/threads/...e-its-hillary-2020.322817/page-4#post-4687594 Ol' TreeFrog mocked me lol. https://elitetrader.com/et/threads/...e-its-hillary-2020.322817/page-5#post-4687606 Its pretty obvious she's going to be MSNBC's choice imo. That'll carry a lot of weight too going into the primaries.
If Black voters sees she can win she will probably take off.In 08 Hillary started the race with higher black support than Obama because most thought Obama was just another Sharpton,Jessie Jackson type candidate that had no chance to win.After Obama showed he could win most black voters got behind him and the rest is history.I could see the same happening with Kamala. http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/10/17/poll.blacks.democrats/ Poll: Black support helps Clinton extend lead - CNN.com Story Highlights Sen. Hillary Clinton is top choice of black Democrats, poll suggests Clinton leads Sen. Barack Obama 57 percent to 33 percent among black voters Clinton support from African-American women at 68 percent Black men more evenly split between Obama and Clinton WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. Hillary Clinton's lead over Sen. Barack Obama, her chief rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, is growing among African-American voters who are registered Democrats, and particularly among black women, a poll said Wednesday. Sen. Hillary Clinton is the top choice of African-American Democrats, a new poll suggests. Among black registered Democrats overall, Clinton had a 57 percent to 33 percent lead over Obama. That's up from 53 percent for Clinton and 36 percent for Obama in a poll carried out in April. The 26-point difference between black women and men underscores the fact that the nation's vote is divided not only by race, but also by gender, said CNN political analyst Bill Schneider. "Black women don't just vote their black identity," he said. "They also vote their identity as women." Among white registered Democrats, Clinton drew 49 percent support, versus 18 percent for Obama and 17 percent for former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina, the latest poll found.
This meme is meant in jest, but there's a lot of truth to it. If she tries to use an executive order to seize weapons, most people will just deny owning them. They'll just wait for the next republican president to undo the EO.
I wont have respect for Kamala until she calls out Warren for using 1/245th Native American ancestry to claim being a Native American to get into school and and get hired later on.
Democrat voters seem totally uninterested in facts, costs or feasibility. It's purely driven by emotions, feelings and being able to tap into moral narcissism. So of course they were blown away Harris' adroit playing of the race card. She painted herself as a child version of Rosa Parks, with mean old Joe riding around in a pickup truck with his KKK buddies. Slick. Particularly now when dem voters have been conditioned to always defer to a minority. She is the favorite now but a lot can change.
She does not have a chance in hell, because she's going on and on about her race. Bad move. Nobody gives a shit. STFU about the fact that you are black. Move on from it. Yer a human being, like the rest of us. Science has proven that! Focus on THAT you moron!
THIS is funny stuff, and it is totally "interpretable" as racist. But it is FUNNY! And it is REAL LIFE! Politicians need to get a bloody backbone. Jesus H. Christ.
[/QUOTE] Heh, you got her nominated already. Don't cash in your chips just yet. It does not take a rocket surgeon to figure out now or years ago that any semi-black woman running will/would receive lots of attention. Duh. Others have/had Biden already nominated. Duh. Unfortunately for both of them, they have to deal with Warren. She is a loser but all the dem candidates are losers so that alone is not a show stopper. In the long run Warren will be the candidate to beat - because- as I have continually said- Skankala is stupid- and as Elderado has said- she has the Hillary cackle which reveals crookedness and lack of authenticity- and those two factors will wear on voters - at least swing voters- and she will need them. I have acknowledged that long ago I said that Warren had no chance but that was back when candidates were signing up by the pantload week after week and the field was not set. Once the field was set or close to it, some serious rethinking was required. If this is all they have to work with, then they are going to have to try to make chickensoup out of someone who is made of chicken shit- and here we are. Being a loser and being nominated are not mutually exclusive at this point. It is all they have to work with. You say that msnbc is obviously in the tank for Kamala. Heh. Like no shiite Dick Tracy. When was that not the case? They are all tighter than a bull's arse at fly swatting time with Melissa Harris Perry, the MSNBC analyst fired a while back and feel her pain and outrage. I guess she still has some kind of show with MSNBC or is producer of one or something. Lest we forget, Melissa Harris Perry is also known as Kamala Harris's sister.
