The ability to say something of which you have absolutely no knowledge, but to say it with such conviction and confidence, is impressive.

This was Trump on July 29th: Asked how he'd rate Harris as a vice president, Trump said, "I think she'd be a fine choice, Kamala Harris. She'd be a fine choice." Are you full of it, or was Trump full of it two weeks ago?

Is it really that hard to admit that a person of color, a woman of color no less, is actually competent, qualified and intelligent?

Yes, she is all of those things. Biden didn't say he would pick the BEST running mate. He said that he would pick a BLACK WOMAN and he did. The racist democratic party using black people as pawns once again. Next.

Show me proof that he said that. You won't be able to. If you want to be taken seriously, don't make stuff up.

Harris, Affirmative Action??? wrote:

Kamala Harris attending law school, UC-Hastings. UC-Hastings is not hard to get into. How do you know Kamala Harris did not have at least the average L.S.A.T. and average g.p.a. of other students at UC-Hastings? Kamala Harris' public jobs in CA were jobs to which she was elected.

She did benefit from it getting into Hastings through their Legal Education Opportunity Program:

She didn't get into Berkeley or Stanford (even though her father was a professor at Stanford) and she failed the bar exam on the first try, which, although not all that uncommon, is likely more common among those of lesser intellect. As far as her employment, when she was HIRED (not elected) as a deputy district attorney for Alameda County in 1990 after law school, it is also possible she benefitted from affirmative action policies. She eventually proved herself capable, but she very well may have benefitted from affirmative action in getting into law school and getting her first public job.

Not at all. Ms. Condoleeza Rice, we need you.........now.

The idea that republicans have the nerve to discuss academic qualifications for a a vice president when their party has had two of the least qualified presidents ever in Trump and George W. Bush is hilarious.

What were their qualifications?

1. white

2. men

3. rich

4. legacy (Bush)

5. openly racist (trump)

Democrats are “funny”

Like him or not Bush was qualified. Trump on the other hand was and still is not qualified

It's not even about qualifications, it's about having beliefs and policy ideas that would help the country. Harris' ideas were incredibly unpopular. Harris is so bad she has no guiding principles. She flip flopped on everything to become VP. For example, she recently supported medicare for all. Now she doesn't.

She has no idea what's best for the country, she only knows what is best for HER CAREER.

Don't forget Dan Quayle when he was VP for George Bush Sr. Definitely not one of the sharpest tools in the shed.

Anything for a little power, right Kamala? Call a guy a racist, oh you want me to be your vp? Sure I'll be your second fiddle! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CPHcGoSrpFg

I don't think that you can accurately say that the silent bit is ridiculous. As it stands, if you publicly state your opposition to the Democratic platform, you are immediately branded a racist and/or misogynist, regardless of the foundation of your political position. You can still speak clearly at the ballot box without fear of arousing SJW wrath. That is the beauty of living in a representative republic, if we can keep it.

Yep. I live in a liberal heavy area, and if you don't agree with them then you are ostracized. There are a lot of people that say one thing while believing something totally opposite.

re: "if you don't agree with them then you are ostracized"

That's no different than what happens when you live in Trump country.

She is "American".

In 100 years, when we are all dead and gone, the majority will be beige/brown/olive and black and oriental and white will be the minorities. Mixed will be the norm.

Obama self-identified as African American. He is half Irish, people forget that.

It is not just about self-identifying, both Obama and Harris's birth certificate say's either Negro or Colored...America identity's them as Black.

Damn, Biden crushed it last night. Didn't see that coming. Hannity this morning on Twitter, "We have a contest."

Not shocked Biden could deliver a speech well off a teleprompter. He has been around a while as we all know. The question remains when he will do a real interview and how will he handle that. I think he is on ABC this weekend. Let's see what if any tough questions he gets asked. If he wants a tough, but fair interview, do Fox - like Trump did and when they pressed him on COVID response. They (Wallace) do not do easy interviews with anybody. Which is how it should be.

Aug 21st. Just saw Biden's acceptance speech. Really like the guy. But the people behind him I can't stand any ,just as much as I hate Trump; including Harris who appears to be as phony as they come. Biden/Pence and I'm good with this election.

So he has to do better than 'Person woman man camera TV' then and he wins the battle of the Wallace interviews?

Pence, really? I know as VP he has to parrot the President's line. But at some point you have to stand up for what is right. I don't expect him to speak out in opposition but his cheerleading of the President during a crisis is stomach churning. You lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas. No thank you to him on any leadership ticket.

Liberal media hero Dr. Fauci himself said UNDER OATH that President Trump has done a great job with coronavirus and that he can't imagine anyone else taking a more serious approach to it. Biden objectively would have done worse - he called Trump xenophobic for banning travel from china. That decision SAVED LIVES - Fauci admits it too.

yeah, good ol' Joe and Nancy P weren't against the POTUS for his shutting down incoming flights from some countries, now they complain he didn't do it sooner...typical!
