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

Posted on 07/17/2017 3:42:23 PM PDT by Hadean

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.

These people think their old plan of identity politics will work again; i.e African American AND a woman. Well, Obama’s appeal based on his race is not transferable, especially with a poor candidate such as Harris. And if Trump is running again, he will fight back against all the name calling, unlike other cucks in the GOP.

The way Kamala Harris questioned Jeff Sessions during his hearing was disgusting. If a white man had questioned a Halfrican woman that way he'd be accused of being RACIST.

She's as corrupt as they get.

"The only child of Donald Trump with two citizen parents is Tiffany."

The two citizen parents thing is a made up birther thing. There is no such requirement in the actual law.

Picking them on looks only will not work. I understand that she hates whitey and ain’t gonna’ change. I wanna’ see faux-injun squaw and faux-huge wig woman on the ticket (Warren/Waters). Can you imagine how much fun that’d be?

The natural born citizen requirement is in the Constitution.

One can only naturally be born a US citizen when there is no alternative to being anything else, born here of citizen parents.
Foreign parents bring foreign citizenships.

Who the gods would destroy, first they make mad.

They’ve made the Dems all totally psycho, certifiably schizophrenic. Alternate reality. They’re all on a mixture of bath salts, bad acid and belladonna.

Goody! If they pick her, the Dem party will have officially poured gasoline on itself, lit a match to the fumes, and at the same time jumped off a cliff.

Woodrow Wilson's mother was born in Carlisle, England, and was brought to America as a child. I don't think anyone argued that Wilson was not a natural born citizen.

Of course Wilson is unique in another way--he is the only President born after 1776 who did not consider himself a citizen for the US for part of his life (1861-1865). Well, other than Barry Soetoro.

I agree. Kamala may be a more formidable candidate than FR concensus believes.

If the democrat leadership were willing to let voters make those decisions, they would not be true democrats. They created Barack the first with the DNC Keynote Speech in 2004. They created Hillary (with some cheating) in 2016. Now they are creating Kamala Harris, whose only qualification is the same as Hillary’s - her genitals. It’s pathetic.

“Tony West – an attorney at the law firm defending Barack Obama’s birth certificate matters raises $65 Million for Barack Obama’s election.  His sister-in-law Kamala Harris is the District Attorney for San Francisco.
Kam Kuwata tells others (likely Sen. Feinstein) of weird Obama stuff he saw at the convention.
Obama elected with huge illegal campaign (25% of what he raises) coming through a SINGLE California bank) much from Tony West.  Rumors swirl of up to $300 Million in undeclared campaign contributions are not reported or those donors.
Feinstein’s aide and Kuwata’s business partner BOTH indicted and sent to prison by soon to be Dem Governor Cuomo of NY.
Kuwata works against CA Attorney General Kamala Harris to put in a CA AG who can investigate Obama campaign donations.
A few months later highly active Kuwata found 2 weeks dead in his apartment.
The same month Tony West is appointed as Assistant Attorney General in the Civil Division reporting to Eric Holder at the Department of (so called) Justice.
At Kuwata’s memorial, Feinstein very strangely “scooped” the President with the news of Osama Bin Laden death by 1 hour.  Feinstein and intelligence knew of OBL location since January.  Some wonder if this was a warning to Obama.
DOJ does not investigate Kuwata’s death.
A month later, former CA Obama Committee chairwoman embezzles millions in funds from Feinstein’s campaign and others including Obama’s CA funds.  This CRITICALLY impairs Feinstein’s reelection hopes.
Feinstein charged with ethics violations.
Kamala Harris found to be in pocket of public sector unions scuttling initiative on their behalf.
Kamala Harris named Co-Chairwoman of the Obama Campaign.
CA AG Kamala Harris and the NY AG replacing Gov Cuomo refuse to follow the law on failed mortgages, threatening the FDIC and creating a $25 Billion Mortgage settlement that:
Gives 70% of the money to government programs
Penalizes stockholders, brokers who never admitted guilt in due process
Allows the REAL perpetrators of the mortgage crisis (both public and private) to skate without ANY prosecution.
(Very good explanation here.)
It also gives her a slush fund of over $1 Billion to preside over.
Tony West is appointed ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL of the United States under Eric Holder.
American Bar Association Journal reports Kamala Harris be considered as next Supreme Court Justice replacing Ruth Bader Ginsberg.
Crazy stuff, huh?  You have no idea.”

Only problem is she is from California and the country hates California.

This is not the state that sent Ronald Reagan to the White House.

I honestly think Obama’s intentional sabotage of race-relations in this country have made it almost impossible for any non-white to win for many, many years to come.

Kamala Harris is a very unlikable b*tch. She’s overly aggressive, sanctimonious and just plain rude. I also think overall the country does not
want another black POTUS who will race bait, divide the country based on skin color, demonize the police, etc.

Kamala won’t do any better against DJT than Kankles did. And don’t forget, it’s not just the candidate ‘s personality that’s important, policies matter. The Rat party’s policies were soundly rejected last fall, that part hasn’t changed.
