I'm so glad I bought Kamala's's book, because it's encouraged her to rrun. If she gets the nomination the Republican has just won the election.

Please let it be Kamala. Please let it be Kamala. Please let it be Kamala. Please let it be Kamala.

I do understand you, but seriously have the Dems no better candidates than those four listed?

[Dilbert San Diego]

Pete Buttgig has a beard now. Is he trying to look like JD Vance?

[Vigilanteman]

I bought it for a $1 donation to her PAC. I guess they have that many left over copies to sell.

They thought they were so clever by waiting until after the GOP convention to nominate her thinking she could just run out the clock.

Now they complain that she didn't have enough time to prepare. It is almost funny except for the fact that they are dead serious.

” Kamala Harris tops with 31%, followed by Gavin Newsom 16%, Pete Buttigieg 7%, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez 6%.”

Not one even remotely capable person among that lot.
Could you even imagine the horror?
Like a phoookin psycho clown car.

But the GOPe, Never Trumpers, and Qatarlson Haters would be happy to have any of them to keep their grifts going,
cuz Orange Man Bad.

Probably just means “what name do you actually recognize” more than who they really want to be president

Ditto, ditto, ditto...

i assume your chant included crossing your fingers, too, just to make sure, right?

Don't be so sure. The fool density in this Nation is really high.

“I bought it for a $1 donation to her PAC”

they lost money on that sale if shipping was free ....

It's the same group who made David Hogg their second in command of their party. You should see who's at the bottom of the barrel!

"Pete Buttgig has a beard now. Is he trying to look like JD Vance?"

No, he's trying NOT to look like a brain-dead sissy-wimp.

It's 'backfiring" on him.

[dfwgator]

No, he's trying NOT to look like a brain-dead sissy-wimp.

Pete is a queer.

Being Queer is his only qualification and credential

[catnipman]

“Probably just means “what name do you actually recognize” more than who they really want to be president”

pretty much, but for LIV Dems it’s too often the same thing ...

[rbg81]

Kamala Harris? Really?? I find this hard to believe.

[chajin]

I would love to see either JD or Mario run against Kamala, she could become the 21st century’s William Jennings Bryan.

However, all of this means absolutely nothing. The weed-filled room where the Dem capos meet will decide who the nominee is, and convince everyone else to drop out; cf. “Joe Biden 2020.”

Yikes!!!!
