    I’ve accepted the racism and sexist thing as a real risk for Kamala. But I think most Democrats have accepted it too and are coalescing around her.

    Here we go people. Buckle up and prepare for a ton of racist and sexist attacks. I assume the Lawyer / Prosecutor experience for Harris will come in handy for this and she’ll come up with good Rhetoric / political plan for the situation.

    Arizona Senator Mark Kelly for VP could help insulate Kamala from these attacks. A lot of good VP picks actually could help.

      Risk? It’s great. Racist and sexist people were not gonna vote Democrat anyway. All this is doing is alienating the black and female Republican voter base.

        The women who were on the fence won’t be swayed by this. If you are a woman and you were even slightly thinking about voting for Trump then you are already so far to the right that nothing i can think of will get you to change your mind.

            If you are a woman and were somehow still on the fence about going to vote then I don’t see how this could change your mind considering all the shit trump said in the past about women and how the gop treats women’s rights.

            When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.” He adds seconds later: “Grab them by the p----. You can do anything

            All of the women on ‘The Apprentice’ flirted with me — consciously or unconsciously. That’s to be expected. A sexual dynamic is always present between people, unless you are asexual.

            It doesn’t really matter what (the media) write as long as you’ve got a young and beautiful piece of ass.

            “Somebody who’s been very vicious to me, Rosie O’Donnell, I said very tough things to her, and I think everybody would agree that she deserves it and nobody feels sorry for her.” — Trump at the first presidential debate in September 2016.

            If you were considering not voting already I don’t see how the trolls will change your mind when that was the shit a former president and current front runner for the presidential race said.

            Let’s not forget this one

            “I’ve said if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.

      She’ll probably win anyway, but we’re going to have reams of material by the end of it for the next time R’s are feigning ignorance about why everyone thinks they are racist bigots.
