Bernie Bro's going hard after Kamala claiming she "kept slaves" and put black men in prison for giggles.
 
CNN already crowning Kamala Harris as the Dem frontrunner a year in advance.

I can't say she won't beat Trump; there's a big enough backlash against him and Harris checks all of the boxes old white men in the establishment don't. Not a high bar at this point.

BTW I just rewatched the mini series Centennial, from the James Michenir novel about the history of a small town in Colarado. IMHO one of the best of the American miniseries from the 70's and 80;s.

The "Front Range" is more like one third of the way west (maybe more like 40% as I measure with my fingers) of the Kansas border to the Utah border. However, not all of the rest of Colorado is mountainous. A pretty big area in the NW is actually a high desert.

Citation please.

I could swear, there once was a time when an expectation existed that claims such as this should be followed by, get this, a quote and a link. What a concept!

Lacking a quote and a link, and being aware of the BS you routinely foist, I don't buy your unsupported claims for a nanosecond.

I doubt she'll be able to generate more enthusiasm than Clinton did.

I'm with you on that. It started the whole miniseries fad of the 70's and 80's.

Yeah, Hillary had the advantage of being perceived to check all those boxes that the "old white men" didn't, plus with her mastery of the Time Warp dance (It's just a jump to the left... Then a step to the right) she managed to additionally check all the "old white men" boxes, too.

I feel like being old and white kind of handicapped her in the "not an old white man" event. That and her political career being irrevocably tied to a literal old white man.
 
The field is so large that the best strategy might be for two candidates to find each other early and run as a team, with the first slot on the ticket to be determined by the primaries.
Clinton's VP didn't help her at all, IMO, even though it was a very calculated choice.

It's called "I made up an opinion that sounds like something someone on the other side would say, so I'm just gonna say they said it without actually waiting for someone to actually say it."

Travis does that a lot.

Yeah, Hillary was more of an "old white man" than Joe Biden in some ways.

Kamala Harris doesn't seem to have that same issue. But give the GOP a year to work on her and we'll see what her issues will be.
 
The Dems would rather have a... whatever the opposite of a "Great White Hope" is lose to Trump then have an old white male Democrat beat him.
 
I don't think the Dems have some sort of ingrained anti-white racism or anything of that level or nature, I just think the narrative of a person from one of the groups Trump is working the hardest to disenfranchise being the one to beat him are too perfect for them to pass up.

It's not that, it is just that we tied an old white man and she lost.

But if the somewhat young black guy could have run again, Trump would have lost in a landslide. Is that not obvious?
 
This is the kind of attitude we need from the Democrat candidates.

Ocasio-Cortez: If Trump was gone tomorrow, it wouldn't change 'systemic injustices'

CNN, MSNBC and other ostensibly left-leaning media like to make it about the Orange Man, how members of the left take shots at him, how much better they speak, read, write than him. And the Mueller investigation that they just can't wait patiently for...

We get it, but we can do that all day. What about the middle class, what about healthcare, the corrupting corporate influence in politics, etc?
