    Biden and the DNC know that this election is going to be a knock-down, drag out fight, so he went with a fighter. Harris is known for throwing punches and will probably have Pence running home to mother to nurse his wounds.

    There are a bunch of secret indictments, but I doubt any are for Rice. If a democrat who worked for Obama/Biden were under indictment, Barr would shout about it from the rooftops. The indictments are likely for individuals who are not able to be charge while they are the sitting president (not to mention any names).

    He said there are 12 women and one black man. He said they do.

    They do run they do get elected. They just don't go on and on and on about it. Because they don't have anything to prove.

    Woman make up 50.52% of the country. They make up about 4% of the GOP in Nationally Elected Positions.

    Minorities make up about 23% of the country. They make up about 0.5% of the GOP in Nationally Elected Positions.

    There are more Republican women and minorities running for Congress in 2020 than ever before.

    You think there are hundreds of females and minorities running for national office in the GOP?

    Yes, I know there are. If your Google works, you too, can know things.

    Oh, I see. You mean individuals who filed to run. That's fine and commendable.

    How many made it out of the primaries? In other words, if every female/minority GOP member won their respective races against the Democratic Opponent, how many more would be in the House and Senate?

    The primaries aren't over, so we don't know yet. I'll be interested in that answer in a few weeks. You can tally the "so far" if you'd like. I don't know. Skin color and genitalia is less important a qualifier to the right.

    Yes, she's a slugger, but against Trump no way and against Pence she will appear a moonbat. Its really not a wresting match, but we who are into politics like to pretend it is.

    Rice is in a bad place. Barr isn't a shouter.

    She isn't going to debate Trump, but a smart, mentally fit person would have a field day with Trump. It would be impossible to imagine all the angles a debated could hit him from. Harris has already started doing so (i.e. dispelling the myth that Trump was a successful businessman).

    Barr has done everything he has been able to do to help Trump. If anyone from the Obama admin were under indictment, he certainly would be shouting it from the rooftops. He has even said, despite DOJ rules that he plans on trying to bring indictments for the bogus "spying on Trump" nonsense before the election. I wonder what will happen when those indictments never occur (because the underlying "crimes" never occurred)?

    They did. They moved away and didn’t come back. Jr though.... always came back so he was able to keep it. I’d say the non accent is the fake one. Dude really is Texan.

    Here’s one from ‘92. I would not say no trace at all, but not always thick:

    People from Odessa/Midland have a distinctive thick west Texas drawl....like Bush's authentic voice.

    Bushes accent seemed forced to me, my mom grew up in Midland and her accent which was mine until I entered school didn't sound much like George Bush's

    Yeh, I grew up there from 0 years old until my late-20's when I made my escape. He sounds like west Texas to me most of the time. Houston doesn't have quite the same drawl as Odessa/Midland. I'm sure when he got to Harvard, people made fun of him, so he learned how to "self-help speech therapy" the drawl down a bit. LOL

    If you're interested in going skin deep and counting people-of-cervix compared to everyone else, feel free to Google away. I usual spending time researching other things which have more meaning to me.
