    This is going to be a replay of Clinton v. Trump.

    At the time I said, "everything bad I've heard about Clinton I've heard from other people, and everything bad I've heard about Trump I've heard from his own mouth."

    This is not a replay of Clinton vrs. Trump in 2016. To most unaffiliated voters the 2016 presidential election involved selecting the lessor evil of two corrupt horrible candidates. The 2020 election is very different.

    I meant as far as the smear machine goes.

    Edit: but lesser evil is hilarious now. There is no way on God's green earth that our situation now under Clinton would be worse. No way.

    The Kamala birthers have arrived...

    Kamala Harris Is Eligible to Serve as President
    https://www.factcheck.org/2020/08/kamala-harris-is-eligible-to-serve-as-president/

    Quick Take
    Kamala Harris, former Vice President Joe Biden’s running mate, is eligible to serve as U.S. president, contrary to the false claims of viral posts on Facebook. Her mother is from India and her father from Jamaica — but Harris was born in Oakland, California.

    Full Story
    Former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, announced on Twitter on Aug. 11 that his vice presidential running mate is California Sen. Kamala Harris.

    But multiple posts on Facebook falsely claim that — in the event Biden is unable to serve out his term –Harris is ineligible to serve as president because she’s an “anchor baby” whose parents are immigrants.

    Days before Biden had even announced his choice of running mate, the posts said: “Joe Biden chose Kamala Harris as his VP.” The posts go on to claim, “If crazy Joe cannot serve his full term, Kamala cannot by constitutional law become President. She is an anchor baby, mother is from India, father is Jamaican, and neither were american citizens at time of her birth. That means the Presidency would fall on Speaker of the house. Recently Nancy Pelosi stated that she was next in line to become President. THAT in itself is reason to vote her out in November. Democrats have worked the whole scenario out and I believe that is why they chose Kamala Harris.”

    In an email to FactCheck.Org, Josh Chafetz, a professor at Georgetown University Law Center who specializes in constitutional law, described the Facebook posts as “racist nonsense.”

    Chafetz explained: “To serve as president, one must be at least 35 years old, have been a resident of the United States for at least 14 years, and be a ‘natural born Citizen’ (Article II, sec. 1 of the Constitution). Additionally, one cannot have already been president for more than a term and a half (22nd Amendment).”

    As we’ve reported before, Harris, whose mother is from India and whose father is from Jamaica, was born in Oakland, California, which makes her a natural born U.S. citizen and eligible to serve as president. She was born Oct. 20, 1964, according to the Biographical Directory of the United States Congress.

    Chafetz added that the fact that Harris’s parents are immigrants is “wholly irrelevant.”

  7. Presidential historian says the Republicans are ‘flailing’ trying to come up with ways to attack Kamala Harris: ‘They’re losing’

    Presidential Historian Michael Beschloss noted that things are going to get more complicated as the Republican Party tries to figure out how to run a campaign against Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) as she joins Vice President Joe Biden’s ticket for president.

    “We’re already seeing how her bio just her makeup, who she is, and her resume is proving difficult for the Republicans to kind of pigeonhole and criticize, do they call her an ultra-liberal, with other people allegedly she was too aggressive of a prosecutor and too close to the police during her time in law enforcement and the like, it’s that kind of problem,” said MSNBC host Brian Williams.

    “And if they’re flailing like that, that means they’re losing, they really don’t know how to sort of come at her and one of the reasons why Joe Biden chose her,” said Beschloss.

  9. Oh! A Presidential historian, no less! How credible! Guess Trump might as well start packing now. Kamala has impressive credentials and some major failings. That is the reality. Guess what, the Republicans are going to pound her on her failings. Through as I understand it, they wouldn’t be the first ones! Oh!
