2020 Dem candidate

[sggatecl]

would he be treated to a scene like the one where the dude was misgendered at Gamestop...

Holy shit that was hard to watch.

I think Warren is out based on the issue of claiming Native American heritage.


https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/06/politics/elizabeth-warren-native-american/index.html

even when they're writing her off for killing her own chances with her lies, the media goes to great lengths to protect one who shares their ideology by making the point that there's no proof she benefited from her claims of Native American heritage.

If she was a conservative, they'd be all over her for cultural appropriation to advance her career and calling for her to return her ill gotten gains to the people she exploited. Of course, if she was a conservative (and apparently until the mid 90s, she was a registered Republican) we wouldn't have heard from her since this story first broke, back in 2012 or so.

Holy moly! I just heard a CA Democrat on tucker whom I completed agreed with on commentary about amazon and other tech companies regarding labor and outsourcing and whatnot there used to be more dems like RO Khanna! Where did they all go?

She shilled for Hillary in 2016. She's paid her dues in their eyes.

Notice how they're destroying those 3 guys in Virginia though. It all just depends how much it effects your voting base. Native Americans are a much smaller block of voters and usually don't swing votes.

I guess this is probably wrong, but it has crossed my mind that I’m looking forward to the funny nicknames that Trump is going to give all the Democratic candidates as we get closer to 2020.

Yesterday he talked about Beto O’Rourke’s “great first name,” so we’ll see if that sticks as the official nickname.

You appreciate seeing the artist at work, doing what he's good at.

meh.

Lyin' Ted? Pocohontas? his nicknames are just dumb & or mean.

George W. Bush was actually better at that.

 

[Spartanmack]

Fauxcohontas would have been much better - maybe it was too mean.

That?s what makes them funny.

But they catch. They work. He's the Don Draper of dumb insults and bullshit. It's not a good way to lead a country, but it's a feasible way to win an election.

I don?t think the typical Trump supporter would get it.

true. Maybe Pokeacuntas?

 

[tinselwolverine]

true. Maybe Pokeacuntas?

That had crossed my mind, but it might be too much even for Trump.

Bear in mind that when he talked about grabbing women by the pussy it was a private conversation with another guy. If he had talk about that at a rally, it might not have been so easily forgiven by his supporters.

On the other hand, he did get away with talking about Megan Kelly?s menstrual cycle so? Who knows?

I nominate Kamala Harris as 'Hillary Lite'.

 

[Polish-Hammer]

I nominate Kamala Harris as 'Hillary Lite'.

So.... out of touch old guard, corrupt, and willing to enter a war of aggression with Russia.

but now she wants to legalize weed and admitted she smoked a joint in college while listening to 2Pac and Snoop Dog who didn't release their first albums until 2 and 4 years, respectively AFTER she graduated from law school which was 3 years after she graduated from college.

note to Kamala - when you're trying to make up a "cool" story to seem relatable, have your staff do a li'l due diligence first.

Oh.

I thought it was an ironic double entendres.

Compared to Hillary she?s not light.

I?ve heard pundits say that that is her advantage regarding the democratic nomination.

BUT-

Typically unknown musicians, when trying to be discovered, will make and distribute their music on their own CDs to create a buzzz and a following prior to being signed to a label. So this is what Kamala can say-she was listening to their homemade CDs even before they broke.

Now, THAT is a cool story! She is so cool and cutting edge she was listening to Tupac and Snoop even before practically anybody else even knew who they were!

Far-fetched? Of course.

Possible? Probably.

Able to be disproved? Unlikely.

Just remember-a lie is just a great story that someone ruined with the truth.

That stuff missing is what makes her (possibly) just a lighter version.

Ha! I didn't know about that. That's just icing on the cake. Failure to seem relatable to base. Chalk it up.

I was more focusing on her track record not matching at all what her current platform is. Marijuana and immigration stances remind me of Hillary and her opinions on LGBT(QFR+?), TPP, and so many other things. No backbone, just go with what's trendy at the time.

 

[Michchamp]

Yeah, Harris basically took a bribe as California AG and let Steve Mnuchin avoid prosecution for mortgage fraud.

And like you said, her record as AG was anything but progressive... i.e. DECENT.

Republicans should like her...
