    Dr. Jill Biden is smarter and more credible than her husband and his running mate!

    18 females and one black guy go against this idea that you have to be white and male thanks for making my point for me.

    Clearly you don't have to be white and male.

    So if I had an image of Ben Affleck as a baby sitting on an old black womans lap that make him black?

    A PLATFORM OF LIES: Ann Althouse: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris deploy the Charlottesville hoax to stir up racial pain and anger.
    They’re terrible people who would happily wreck the country so long as they wound up ruling over the wreckage.

    Dems will never stop the racial rhetoric until the country is completely destroyed through the DNC's platform of tribal divisions.

    Powerful conclusion to that article you linked about Biden/Harris flat-out lying to the people on their first combined speaking engagement....

    I don't think anyone argued that can't be a female or a minority and be part of the GOP House or Senate.

    It is just extremely unlikely.

    Trump definitely did say that there were very fine people on both sides of Charlottesville. And pointing out Trump's repeated ****-ups on racial issues is a winning message for Democrats.

    So where is the lie or how will focusing on that issue destroy the country?

    Not that facts make much difference to most of the twisted left or their many media allies....

    This Poem was written about WWI when Europe learned the horror of how the industrial revolution changed warfare.

    Gyre is an old word for circles.

    Turning and turning in the widening gyre
    The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
    Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
    Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
    The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
    The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
    The best lack all conviction, while the worst
    Are full of passionate intensity
    .

    https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43290/the-second-coming

    Here in America, I think the center will hold.

    As much as I love Ann Richards, and continue to vote for her, she was wrong.
    Jr grew up in Texas, Midland and Houston specifically. He did go away for college, but came back and continued his life in Texas. He moved to DC to help on his fathers campaign, but ended up back here in Texas, owned the Texas Rangers, and became governor, beating my second favorite politician ever for the governorship(good ole’ Ann).

    Because they're not on mission to pick up People based on their race that's the Democrats.

    It's the Democrat Party that has something to prove.

    Blacks may be the most conservative members in the Democrat Party. The decades of voting Democrat will be hard to change since they vote as a block, largely due to social pressure. It's not a bad strategy for a minority group to have more power voting as a one-party block to have influence over that party. Dems kowtow once every four years, making sure that loyalty continues.

    However, the number of conservative blacks is on the rise in recent years, so we may end up seeing a larger shift in partisanship in the future as the Democrats continue to drift further and further left, and as more and more blacks succeed in the upper socioeconomic classes in America as they have been doing over the last 50 years. Then Democrats will move on to a focus on newer Hispanic migrants.

    While Kamala is very unlikely to be elected, while she might be our first East Indian VP, she would not be the first Indian VP, that honor will forever be held by Indigenous Charles Curtis, a remarkable figure in US politics.

    Twice the white male voted for Obama. And, Hillary won the majority of votes in 2016. I'm not convinced the Democrats will elect him at the Convention. They stole it from Bernie last time too. Joe had a script on the desk when he was talking to Kamala asking her to be his running mate for the election. He couldn't do that without a script. something fishy going on in the Democrat Party again. Liars and cheaters they are.

    I figured the conservative tendencies is why the Democrats pander so hard. I fit into a particular minority group and find it rather insulting.

    Just proves most Democrats bigots as well. Rallying the wagons around Harris. I suppose you think bigotry cannot be committed against one's own race, religion or national origin? You would be complete wrong if you do. Bigotry involves more than just hatred. It can and has involved a desire of power and authority over those of the same race, religion or national origin. Jessie Jerkson and Al Shi@$#ton are perfect examples keeping Black American's in poverty and welfare. The mayors of the 40 largest cities and Democrat controlled, mostly by Black Democrat Leadership, keeping Black American's in poverty, welfare, on food stamps and not letting them seek better education for their children, and keeping fathers out of the homes. Entering, Kamala Harris, the bigot. First thing she wants to do with Biden is raise taxes on the poor and middle class. Next, raise taxes on the wealthy corporations and small businesses that employ mostly Blacks in the large cities through corporations that re-entered the U.S. after Trump lowered corporate taxes, individual taxes and lowered regulations. Why is she willing to do that against her own? Then, she wants to put them on food stamps. Then, she wants to stop charter schools and private religious schools like Catholic Schools and not allow inner-city children, mostly black and Hispanic, go to them. Instead, keep them in the terrible indoctrination schools of the Democrat Marxist Party. She's definitely a bigot as was Obama and most Democrat Black, White and Hispanic leaders.

    Just reading the reaction of the righties and ultra righties makes her a great VP.
    Because what comes from that side is just manure, from the top down.

    She would make a very fine VP and if needed President.

    Great choice.

    If minorities and women wanted to run for office under the party of the GOP, they would.

    When David Duke endorsed Trump, he got criticized when he said, "I don't know anything about the guy. I know nothing about him." And that statement is something he maintained even after being told explicitly who was David Duke.

    He didn't get credit for discrediting David Duke roughly 48 hours later.

    Similarly, when his initial response to the Charlottesville was to say there are very fine people on both sides - that **** should get condemned even if later tried to exclude his praise away from white supremacists and neo-nazis because I guarantee you that there were white supremacists and neo-nazis among that group and among the general population who solely heard him say they were very fine people.

    I saw a video of GWB speaking at a campaign rally when his Dad was running for President. This must have been in 1988. GWB had NO trace of a southern accent when he spoke at this rally.
    I wonder why none of his siblings acquired a southern accent? They were raised in Texas too weren't they?
    P.S. I admired Gov. Ann Richards; she was funny and smart.
