A woman enjoys clothes shopping. Listen, if that were the biggest problem with Kamala Harris, she'd have my vote already. I'm still waiting for her to tell the world what her favorite Tupac song is.

I think the focus is on the reporters that pretend they don't play favorites.

Bernie has raised 6m in 24 hours. This is fantastic news for Trump.

Kamala Harris' dad says parents are 'turning in their grave' over her comments on weed and being Jamaican

[font=Roboto,]Harris' father, Donald, disapproved of the comments, which he told the [font=Roboto,]Jamaica Global Online constituted "identity politics."[/font][/font]
[font=Roboto,]"My dear departed grandmothers ... as well as my deceased parents, must be turning in their grave right now to see their family’s name, reputation and proud Jamaican identity being connected, in any way, jokingly or not with the fraudulent stereotype of a pot-smoking joy seeker and in the pursuit of identity politics," he said[/font]
[font=Roboto,]Donald Harris continued: "Speaking for myself and my immediate Jamaican family, we wish to categorically dissociate ourselves from this travesty.”

London to Paris by rail so much easier than flying for example in Europe

California's rail project is currently running 48 Billion over budget and 5 years behind the construction timeline. And that's just connecting 2 cities in within their state. A national plan to do the same thing is DOA. If the flight is short then you drive. If it's long it would be long on the train too.

Ahem... That's THREE cities actually.

Well, that’s pretty damning.

Think about it.  Think about what it must be like to grow up in the US but have Jamaican parents.
Every other time a new person finds out that you have a Jamaican background, they'll put on a patois accent and start saying, "ya Mon! Bob Marley! Get dee ganja! Irie!" The first ten times that happens you're confused.  The next ten times you try telling people, "I don't know what you're talking about.  My dad is not like that." Uncomfortable conversations ensue.  Few friends are made. By the time you're 30 you have bigger problems and you're done fighting about it. "Yeah! Jamaica Mon!" You're American anyhow, what does it matter?
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.

Not with that kind of money raising ability. Plus he carries the socialist message they all cling to.

I am curious though, I know the new DNC rules would force him to run as a democrat. If it came to a point where they "Bernie'd" him again, could he switch back and run as an independent?

I highly doubt it. He'd throw his endorsement behind Kamala Harris or Cory Booker and call it a career.

Ya think? I don't know about that. It is going to be interesting to see what Howard Schultz decides to do. I truly hope Bernie gets the nomination though and he won't be easy to ignore with the fund raising coffers he has. Trump will smoke a socialist in the general though, especially one with 3 large houses and a million dollar annual income.

I don't wonder in this case.   Encouraging empathy towards dark skinned people is not going to be a popular move in Northeastern FL.  I said it because it is right, not to make you feel good.

I don't think he wants to be remembered as the guy who handed Trump a second term, and I don't think the Democratic Party would stifle him this time around. He would have beaten Trump in 2016, and I think he stands a good chance of beating him in 2020, especially if Trump continues acting like a spoiled child when the House doesn't bend to his agenda.

You have to remind yourself what we're dealing with here. If there is a policy proposal which doesn't appeal to a middle-aged, middle-class white male, who probably works in IT, then it is clearly part of a socialist plot. I mean, those are the only people who matter, right?

Just remember that the Trump/Fox plan is to scare the old folks. And it's working! have you see the extreme clutching of pearls when AOC is mentioned? When the Green New Deal is mentioned? None of any of this stuff has even started it's way to become legislation. And it will never get there unless severely modified. But you have people diving under their beds in fright.

I guess everyone has to feel superior to someone, so many on here have to assume they are the only ones with true insight.

Sad.

So you think the electoral map will elect a socialist in 2 years? I just can't see that.

Bernie is going to buy himself a fourth house and then throw his endorsement behind someone else.

Dude is a sell-out. I don't agree with a darn thing he says, but you'd think he'd have the conviction to not cower to Clinton (and the DNC).

Do you think what you said is encouraging empathy towards dark-skinned people?

Why do you leftists always think conservatives care about race as much as you do?

If you read some of his followers comments on Twitter, it is kind of sad. There are hundreds of people who are setup for auto-pay to his campaign. I can't blame Bernie though, as he is capitalizing on the ignorance of the masses.

Bernie and the dems know he will never be elected. They’ll come to an agreement later for his endorsement of the eventual front runner in order to funnel his support and money. He’ll either get a VP nod (doubtful) or some lucrative Clinton-seque under-the-table money deal.

He’s grasping at an opportunity to throw the race card.
