Sen. Kamala Harris is running for president, Democrat donors say

John Sexton Posted at 5:01 pm on July 18, 2017

Senator Kamala Harris is running for president. The Hill reports that’s the word coming from top donors who are excited about the possibility:

The Bridgehampton event, where Harris mingled with top donors and supporters of Hillary Clinton, was the ultimate signal that Harris is “thinking much bigger” than the Senate, one top bundler said.

“She’s running for president. Take it to the bank,” another fundraiser said. “She’s absolutely going to run.”

Donors say Harris is giving them a glimmer of hope when they need it the most…

Since November, Harris has become one of her party’s biggest draws: She has raised upwards of $600,000 for Senate candidates in recent months, and she recently raised $227,000 in an email for MoveOn.Org, according to sources close to Harris.

No. No. Obama gave a great speech. Remember that was the launch of his candidacy. Harris hasn’t even done that.

No kidding.

She’s Obama’s candidate.

She very well might win.

Regardless of who runs against Trump, we had better hope we have reduced the voter rolls by at least 3 million illegals by then...

This is one of the things i've been thinking. The other is that he needs to cut off the testicles of the "Main Stream Media."

Those liars have been deliberately manipulating the elections through their falsified coverage. The "media" is effectively the "air force" of the Democrat party.

Like Obama in 2008, she is a blank slate to most of the country.

I guess it will come down to her personality, which I don't know anything about.

If she's too much like Hillary Clinton -- icy, brittle; irritable, entitled -- she won't get far.

If she's not, she could have a shot. I don't see Corey Booker stopping her in any case.

Beyond that, though, how much appeal would she have in Middle America? She doesn't have Bill Clinton's appeal there.

Also: Obama won in part because Black women overlooked his White mom because he married a Black woman from the neighborhood, so they turned out in droves for him.

Harris's Indian mom and White husband make for a very different dynamic, one that many African-Americans (men and women) don't appreciate.

The Rats are now wedded to identity politics.

There will never be a white man to head up their ticket ever again.

From here on in, the cry of the Rats will be “Death to the whites!”.

Get ready for it.

Yep because he’s not going to pull punches because she’s a minority female.
Also, I still think there are people more willing to vote for a minority male (Obama) vs a minority female, including minority males.

Man, are the Dems just doubling down. Didn’t learn a damn thing in 2016.

The question for the Democrats is will Kamala Harris win back the white male Obama voters in swing states who went for Trump or will she only ensure that the Democrats win California by 5 million votes instead of 4 million?

The Democrats are forgetting one thing before they give Kamala her coronation. The Clintons are still in the room and Hillary will pursue the presidency as long as she still breathes. The DNC wishes she would go away but she isn’t, and don’t think she has forgotten what happened in 2008. She won’t let another little known black politician deny her the nomination again.

True, but she did have to make some decisions as California Attorney General that she'll be called upon to explain and justify, so she may not have things as easy as he did.

Yeah I think a lot about of people regret voting for Obama and won’t vote for Harris.

A lot of those white working class Democrats and independents who voted for Obama won’t vote for Harris.

It is worse now than 2008. Media is openly anti-Trump, and would go twice as hard for Harris as Obama. Like in 2008, New York and California are already in the bag for whatever democrat runs, so now they know to spend a few million in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. They only need to buy or cheat a few hundred thousand votes in the next election to get the White House back. The only way to fend this off is with big results. tax cuts, obamacare repeal, border wall, and lots of jobs. So far, not much progress.

we understand the leftist socialist commie-type donors’ problem finding someone “saleable” to run

but certainly they can do better than this!?

Make sure the elderly know about this woman’s jihad on the elderly. I know of no other politicians who hates the elderly like her.

Do you mean besides reducing the conviction rate in Alameda County, and refusing the death penalty for cop killers?
