Not my leader of choice. If I'd had my druthers, I would have gone for someone like DeSantis or Christie. But we got what we got. And when compared to the Democrats' choice, the decision is easy.

Doesn't elude me at all. I come from a biracial family. But what we don't do is pander based on whatever racial identity is convenient or expedient at the time. What may drive away black voters is her inauthenticity, her background prosecuting/persecuting black men for petty crimes, and her lack of connection to the greater African American community through a common history.

I disagree, as you might expect. I recall it was the Democrats, with Hillary as Sec State, that showed off the "reset button" with regards to Russo/American relations. Putin would far rather negotiate with Harris than Trump, Russia tends to do its dirty business when Democrats are in office. And yeah, it IS possible to disagree without being disagreeable. Seems a lot of folks just like to vent their bile and have no other outlet than the safe anonymity of this forum. OR If you want to sling mud, at least be clever or original. Repeating the same trite accusations and phrases is a waste of time. At least provide a modicum of entertainment!

Oooops. After digging through Trump's personal life for years, the chickens are coming home to roost. So Mr. Kamala got his kids' elementary school teacher pregnant while still married to their mother? Interesting.

Translation; Putin wants Harris to win the election, so he pulled the trigger on this deal to give her and Biden some credibility. I mean, seriously. Can you imagine Kamala across the table from Putin, or Xi Jin Ping? They would be hard pressed to contain their laughter.

My God, your jealousy and obsession are palpable. In your dreams could you live a life like Trump has. Get over yourself.

I have. I have heard him speak for close to two hours, off the cuff, in a very entertaining way, with humour and intent. He's very entertaining. Now that your "what about..." has been satisfied, are YOU satisfied with how YOUR candidate speaks? Because she does have a certain reputation for being, how shall we say, salady.

Here is what you get when future-President Harris speaks without a prepared speech; "This is just an extraordinary testament to the importance of having a president who understands the power of diplomacy and understands the strength that rests in understanding the significance of diplomacy." Trots out a few of her favorite buzzwords (significance, understanding, etc) and salads them together into a waste of oxygen.

I would prefer successful businessmen and successful presidents personally. Her record of achievements is paper thin.

Congrats to her, and welcome to the party! History has a habit of repeating itself. One thing Kamala 2020 and Kamala 2024 have in common- both received zero primary votes.

Hey America! Dont repeat the same mistakes as your distressingly woke neighbour to the north. We went through the same sort of hand wringing and navel gazing 3 years ago, over the supposed discovery of secret graves of Indian children. None have been found to be true, yet the moaning and gnashing of teeth continue.

I disagree. You are different from the weirdo in chief. Trump actually has a sense of humour.

Another parrot, squaking the same tired talking points. People focus on things like this because they are reluctant to discuss any issues of substance that might endanger their candidate.

Really? You certainly sound like you are. You parrot the same talking points, use the same trite phrases, and show a lack of critical thinking that enbubbled people tend to feature.

Glad you enjoyed my post. And actually, history is my 'thang'.

Sure. Like every month is "white history month". Grow up.

...and you know this how?

No, I disagree. Looking at the simple facts- record low unemployment, sentencing reform, funding for HBCU, he was good. YOU, however, seem to have a strange attachment to labelling people. It's lazy.

At this level of politics, most candidates are wealthy. As for Harris' background, it don't impress me much. Shouldn't matter, yet sadly in 21st century America it makes a big difference. Especially for the democrats. I mean, she just had a "White Dudes for Kamala" meeting. Good lord, can you imagine the sputtering and vituperation if Trump had a "White DUdes for Trump" event? Heads would explode.

Uh, Hindu is not a religion? That means a billion or so people are gonna be mighty surprised... But Vivek was absolutely right. She was almost always the "Asian" or "Indian" candidate when running for office in California. Possibly because Asians outnumber African Americans 3 to 1 in that state. Now, on the national stage, she chameleons again. It is craven identity politics at its lowest level. Just curious- does anyone think Biden would have chosen her for VP candidate if she had been a white dude? Carl Harris, whiter than a polar bear in a snowstorm, would never have made it past deputy assistant to the acting DA in California politics.

Not in the United States, certainly. Odds are that her family was part of the 'ownership' side of that particular issue.

No, he garners favour because he is a Democrat. I am waiting eagerly to see Harris take an interview with a journalist who is not starry eyed and enthralled at the 'historic' nature of her candidacy. Actually, waiting for her to take ANY interview- she has been dodging the press for more than a week now. But we all know that isn't going to happen. She will take easy, prescripted questions from fawning members of the MSM, while Trump (rightfullly) faces tough and intense questioning.

To older Black men, Harris’s biography is atypical, and she can be seen as an enigma. Her immigrant parents were from the upper classes of Jamaica and India, and she was predominantly raised in a South Asian household. Black men may have doubts about her incarceration practices as a prosecutor in California, and, less important, about her marriage to a wealthy white corporate lawyer. https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/4800764-symbolism-wont-persuade-black-men-to-vote-for-harris-heres-what-will/

The nasty attacks were the journalist on Trump. Wasting so much time on playing Word Police and not enough on the issues that African Americans actually care about. It turned into just another pile-on of personal attacks. Objectively, Trump was a good president for blacks. Also one of Harris' problems, which will surface going forward, is that she may be part black but she is not African American in the sense that most people understand. Descendants of slaves brought over in the 17-19th centuries. She is the daughter of academics and has no connection to that aspect of the 'Black Experience' in America. African American men especially see her as an opportunist and chameleon.

Interesting. So, assuming that is true... given 10 million undocumented immigrants have entered under Biden's watch, that means that 40,000 violent crimes were committed that need not have taken place. Great work, Joe and Kamala. In Texas alone, nearly 1,000 murders have been committed by illegal aliens since 2011. Plus nearly 7,000 sexual assaults.
