The Bernie Bros have been attacking Harris ever since she came to Washington. The Trumpsters won’t be too much worse.

If Jesus Christ came back to earth, bought himself a get-real casual outfit like they do now and started campaigning, he’d be attacked as a globalist who doesn’t really understand Real America’s values and was weak on that whole crucifixion thing and where’s the birth certificate and there’d be push polling about would you vote for a candidate who never even had a girlfriend that anyone knows of and on and on. He could raise Reagan from the dead and it wouldn’t help. So yeah. But she’d also get a lot of affection, respect, and support. I don’t know much about her besides that I like her but that’s sure a start.

We saw what happened when Obama got elected.

Won’t it be worse if a black who is also a woman ran for Pres?

Much worse for a WoC

Ugly, painful, and racist. But she can handle it.

I don’t think that the inevitable racism will be the worst of it. Back in 1992 I went around asking people which they thought we’d have as president first: a non-white man or any woman. My answer was a non-white man because as bad as racism is, misogyny runs so much deeper…

And pissed off American women would have her back.

Let’s just say both racism and misogyny run far too deep among far too many. So it would be ugly, painful, racist, and sexist. But she can handle it.

I do not know if I would support Ms Harris but what I know for certain it is good to see females considering a run for President are taken seriously.

I hope she runs. She’s my Senator. She’d make a great candidate who could take the heat and stay on message. She’ll make a great President.

Harris-Brown or Brown-Harris will win between 53%-56% of the two-party national vote and over 330 EVs.

“Let’s be honest. It’s going to be ugly,” Harris continued. “When you break things, it is painful. And you get cut. And you bleed.”

That’s a pretty graphic description of what she can expect, but i’m with her. I think she’s right. Unfortunately. She has so much positive going for her, but at this point in time, with The Dotard sitting as President, with Fox State News amplifying every hateful meme he spews, there are a lot of simple-minded people out there who are not ready for who and what she is and represents. No question that we’re better off because Obama broke that glass ceiling for a black man to become President. However, the vitriol he’s caused by demonstrating to the deplorables that white might does not make right is just a warm-up act to what we may see if she decides to run. And she will be a very high-profile candidate. She might even win the nomination, but getting there will be ugly, and not just for her. T rumpp has unleashed the worst human values in millions of Americans. Still, we’ll never progress as a society unless we collectively elevate the lowest common denominators. I’ll respect whatever she decides.

This is her saying she’s going to run. She’s already decided.

I can only assume that most of the pain she’s talking about would come in the general, not in the primaries.

I’d understand her deciding not to run at this time, but I hope she decides otherwise.

I’d vote for her in a heartbeat. The fact that the typical suspects have been treating her like a bogeyman shows how scared they are

Unfortunately, about +/-35% of white women appear to be as deeply misogynistic as +/-65% of white men.

Yeah and that just effing pisses me off.

And, let’s not forget, she earned her chops in San Francisco. She wins the trifecta!
