Clinton Donors Have Picked Their 2020 Democratic Presidential Nominee
Observer ^ | July 17, 2017 | Michael Sainato

Since Hillary Clinton’s unexpected loss to Donald Trump, her donors have strategized with Democratic leadership about how to revive the failing party. Billionaire George Soros held a closed door conference with wealthy donors in November 2016 that addressed how to “take back power” and was attended by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. On the weekend of Trump’s inauguration, David Brock hosted a retreat for the most prolific Democratic donors to figure out how to “kick Donald Trump’s a--.” On July 15, Page Six reported that Sen. Kamala Harris, a potential 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, met with top Clinton donors in the Hamptons. Many figures in Clinton’s inner circle attended, including Clinton’s 2008 Campaign National Finance co-Chair Michael Kempner, donors Dennis Mehiel and Steven Gambrel, and Democratic National Committeeman Robert Zimmerman. Harris also attended a separate luncheon hosted by one of Clinton’s top lobbyist bundlers, Liz Robbins.

Harris’ meetings with Clinton’s donors signal that they are rallying behind her as the 2020 Democratic presidential nominee. Harris has emerged as a leading figure in the Trump Resistance; Politico reported that the hearings regarding Trump’s connections to Russia have enabled the Democratic Party to frame her as Trump’s most aggressive critic. In response to one of the hearings she was involved in, she launched the slogan “courage not courtesy.” However, despite this catchy slogan, Harris has historically lacked the courage to hold her donors accountable when they have broken the law.

As far as I can determine, both of Wilson’s parents were citizens when he was born in Staunton VA.
The only President there has been any question about before Obama is Chester A. Arthur who took extreme measures to cover up any evidence.

Oh, that’s what she is; thus the name Kamala. Nice name, pinned to an evil freak.

She doesn’t even look female.

Right. I had forgotten about former President Tyler having been elected to the Confederate Congress. Of course that was after his Presidency (to which he was never elected).

I believe Tyler's father was one of the Anti-Federalist delegates to the Virginia ratifying convention in 1788, who was against the adoption of the Constitution.
