Fighting for what is right is good, taking people out in a debate is wildly overrated BeyondGeography Jul 2019 #4

Well, if she wants to go down in flames, attacking the leading MineralMan Jul 2019 #5

yes qazplm135 Jul 2019 #6

This is a primary...her method works in a primary but has damaged her as a general election Demsrule86 Jul 2019 #13

nonsensical qazplm135 Jul 2019 #15

If they forget her ambush she loses her bounce. ucrdem Jul 2019 #21

well it's been a few weeks qazplm135 Jul 2019 #22

Is she wins the primary Trump will remind us 24/7. ucrdem Jul 2019 #25

and I'm pretty sure qazplm135 Jul 2019 #26

It would be in PA ucrdem Jul 2019 #27

oh of course not qazplm135 Jul 2019 #28

Well, there's 2016. nt ucrdem Jul 2019 #29

no idea what that means qazplm135 Jul 2019 #34

"Fan fiction" is a GREAT description of some of the stuff I've read here, lol. Demit Jul 2019 #30

you're honestly wrong qazplm135 Jul 2019 #35

That's what I kept hearing last time. Unfortunately ucrdem Jul 2019 #37

lol qazplm135 Jul 2019 #38

Hillary wasn't running on busing either. nt ucrdem Jul 2019 #39

lol qazplm135 Jul 2019 #40

See you around. ucrdem Jul 2019 #41

I would luv to see a woman prez...but have to agree harris will not be a winner in swing states Thekaspervote Jul 2019 #52

It raised her numbers some...but no she won't win the nomination. Demsrule86 Jul 2019 #46

What objectively points to this method as damaging to her in a general election? LanternWaste Jul 2019 #49

She is running on race which is a bad thing in a general. Americans Demsrule86 Jul 2019 #51

I'll come to my own conclusions, if you don't mind. MineralMan Jul 2019 #50

You nailed it loyalsister Jul 2019 #43

When men get angry it's "righteous" When women get angry, they lost control StarfishSaver Jul 2019 #65

"relitigate the race wars" loyalsister Jul 2019 #9

The question is do we want to attempt to re-litigate race during this election...we will surely Demsrule86 Jul 2019 #12

Agree. Busing is exactly what Trump needs to escape his own trainwreck. nt ucrdem Jul 2019 #23

It's those who want to return to the 20th that worry me loyalsister Jul 2019 #42

Great post...I think Harris is running on race and it is a mistake if she makes it into the Demsrule86 Jul 2019 #11

Agree. ucrdem Jul 2019 #20

That is true...her record as DA and AG will not be helpful. Demsrule86 Jul 2019 #47

On style I give Senator Harris a solid 'A' grade. She is forceful, communicative, and confident. riverine Jul 2019 #16

Yes she's a whiz at winning elections in California ucrdem Jul 2019 #19

Yeah-I think she has real problems in the mid-states. 58Sunliner Jul 2019 #68

I didn't see anger, but my friend who was watching with me said ecstatic Jul 2019 #59

ABW Angry Black Woman left-of-center2012 Jul 2019 #60

That's her take based on her experiences working in corporate America. nt ecstatic Jul 2019 #62

It's a shame that was her experience. left-of-center2012 Jul 2019 #63
