Re: 2020 Election
Biden's pick was obvious yet brilliant on many levels. As usual the GOP will do their typical gender attacks on VP candidate Harris and the response to those barbs will be the increase in support many people will give to the Biden/Harris ticket. The more they go low such as racist and gender attacks(which will happen) thrown at Harris the more anger that will create and galvanize voters in the base to get out and defeat Trump & Co. I'm even hearing from moderate republicans who are giving thumbs up to this vp pick. So let the attacks come and watch Trump and party pay a big price and further narrow their support.
So America may get the oldest president it has ever had and depending upon what happens during Biden first or second term the first female president it has ever had.

I, too, thought she'd be a great AG choice and wavered in thoughts about her suitability for VP.
But whenever I thought about repairing America's image around the world Harris immediately sprang to mind as a perfect VP choice...her Jamaican / Asian heritage should prove a real asset if Biden uses her strategically
that debate should be a corker

Re: 2020 Election
I wish someone would ask our Mt. Rushmore Wanna-Be, he who asserts he's "done more for Black people than any President ever, including Lincoln", to reconcile that claim with his calling the 1st Black woman to ever get to run on a Presidential ticket "Nasty", "Horrible", "Disrespectable" (is that even a word
? ), and "Mean".It's clear who those words do describe. And it's not Kamala Harris !

Re: 2020 Election
I don't think she's that liberal. She might have started off that way in the primary, and of course shes a CA Senator, but she's also been a prosecutor and AG of California.
I'm a centrist, and I am happy with the pick. She won't scare aware the moderates like Warren would have, has serious experience unlike Abrams or Lance-Bottoms, and is of course a black women which is apparently important to some people (I personally couldn't care less)
If a VP pick is first of all 'do no harm' I think she fits the bill.
I want her to be all those things. To Mike Pence.

THERE’S A WAR GOING ON OVER KAMALA HARRIS’S WIKIPEDIA PAGE, WITH UNFLATTERING ELEMENTS VANISHING
https://theintercept.com/2020/07/02/...ris-wikipedia/
The battle has started. Seemed appropo that it involved Wikipedia. I think of a lot of her past as it comes out is going to be a surprise to many supporters.

Harris was perhaps the best of bad options given that an all white ticket had no chance in this current climate and Michelle Obama and Mayor Lance Bottoms of Atlanta were not available.
