McLoofus 35,182 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 This is going to turn off some black voters, and some other voters sympathetic to race related policing issues. I hope there is a plan to secure those votes anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She'll also be effective on the attack against Trump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope there is a plan to secure those votes anyway. I understand why you say that, but I don't see her history as being that influential. Same goes for Biden's record on the same issues. Having said that, I hope both are straightforward in addressing it - perhaps by acknowledging the unintended consequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubearcat 2,138 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 The Trump campaign will probably play the Tulsi Gabbard attack on her incessantly on loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't pick someone that will cost you: - A chance at winning Florida - Your lead in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin Anything else is gravy, but those four states have to be the focus in any decision right now.

AUDub 11,204 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Eh Biden being rich is a relatively new thing so I'll give him a pass on that. He was known for his modest means going back to when he was first elected to public office. The vast majority of his wealth is relatively recent, cashing in post Obama era with a book deal and lucrative speaking engagements. Kamala being all "law & order" during her time as a prosecutor is true though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumps 3,705 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I was hoping for Karen Bass. We knew it would be a black woman. I wanted someone who isn't mean-spirited.

AUDub 11,204 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Wait until he finds out that many black people in Jamaica can trace their lineage to slavery, only with sugar cane being what they were forced to farm rather than cotton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump can't win without Florida and Biden is smart not to risk it with her. He still has time to lose Florida, but the VP won't be the reason now.

alexava 6,973 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I liked KH in the primaries. I’m not sure what I feel about the pick yet. I’m still deciding. But I do think she is a beautiful woman. I don’t know why that matters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is indeed.........still not sure I care for many of her comments she made while she was running for Pres........then both Dems and repubs have disappointed me over stimulus handling and stimulus doesn't effect me but for many it does.........It's been handled poorly by both sides. The executive order may be worst of all knowing many states cant afford to continue unemployment.........and for the record 600.00 wouldnt have been enough to stay afloat in 2000 when working let alone 2020...........certainly not enough to keep me from wanting to return to work.
