Since Hillary Clintons 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 Trumps inauguration, David Brock hosted a retreat for the most prolific Democratic donors to figure out how to kick Donald Trumps 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 Clintons inner circle attended, including Clintons 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 Clintons top lobbyist bundlers, Liz Robbins.
Harris meetings with Clintons 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 Trumps connections to Russia have enabled the Democratic Party to frame her as Trumps 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.

According to my observations, Soros has lost nearly $2 billion shorting the market since the American election, and he’s about to lose more.
Trump is a threat to the Nazi Soros, but Soros also needs to watch his back because other investors want to see him squashed; he’s a troublemaker. I’m guessing that Soros doesn’t have much juice left. This is Soros’ last hurrah. IMO.
Her unlikability is off the charts. The leftists I know want Sanders or Warren. They don’t want an annoying lawyer with a leftist slant.
“These people think their old plan of identity politics will work again; i.e African American AND a woman. Well, Obamas appeal based on his race is not transferable, especially with a poor candidate such as Harris.”
We are talking about the lowest common denominator voters—those that turnout based on someone’s skin color. Look at the difference between minority turnout for Obama and Clinton, especially in the states that flipped for Trump. They would be nuts not to run a minority. The only drawback for Harris is that I am not sure minority men turn out for a woman like they would a man.

Yes it is.
"One can only naturally be born a US citizen when there is no alternative to being anything else, born here of citizen parents."
No that's wrong. That is not what it means. A natural born citizen is one that is a citizen by birth, as opposed to a citizen that is naturalized. Being born within the country makes you a citizen by birth, a natural born citizen.
If a few thousand voters change their minds, that part changes.
Just light your Elizabeth Warren devotional candle every night at sundown and maybe your dreams will come true...

Very true, but Harris actually has a record that she has to defend, so she can't just be the kind of fantasy candidate that Obama was.
Identity politics isn’t enough. What’s the Democrats’ message?
All voters keeping hearing is Russia!
If they have policies to address the real problems facing the country people care about, its a well-kept secret.
Today the Democrats have become the Seinfeld Party.
“Sen. Kamala Harris, a potential 2020 Democratic presidential candidate”
Perfect. Another minority, far-leftist candidate like Soetoro, with no record of accomplishments. Although she is a two-fer and no doubt has more testosterone than Barry Boy ever had.
Natural born is not the same in all cases as a citizen born in the country.
The 14th Amendment is very clear on this.
You have non citizen parents, you are under the jurisdiction of their country, even if you are born on the White House steps.
Vattel says both parents have to be citizens, and their offspring is a natural born citizen. There were at two copies of Vattel(1758) at the Constitutional Convention in 1787 (via Franklin and Washington).
Obama,Cruz,Haley,Jindal—not eligible to be President.
Eight years of Obama taught us to take the Constitution literally.
Dude it isn’t about making some political policy point based on rational thought. It is about motivating the lowest common denominator voter to actually get out and vote for whatever non-rational reason happens to appeal to them. Skin color is one of those reasons, the dems would be nuts not to run a minority again. Look at the margin of victory in the states that flipped, then look at the difference between the turnout between Obama and Clinton in just the black vote in those states. It’s an easy call.

If I could pick the dims candidate for 2020, I’d pick Kamala Harris.
Saw that coming like a freight train! Go for it, RATs! You thought Hillary was nasty, Kamala is worse.
She’s hot but, that ain’t going nowhere...
Das Vidanya yuh devil Worshipin, Satanic Inspired, Kommunist...
The democRats think of her as bold, intelligent and great in debates. She could bring out all those Obama voters some of whom did not bother to vote for Hillary. First black female POTUS? That will bring out every white liberal and the entire media will go gaga over her candidacy.
I hope the Rats nominate Pocahontas. She is more beatable.
I would be seriously surprised if we:
1. Would elect another Black to the Presidency given the Obola disaster.
2. Would elect someone from California (because the whole country has decided that CA is the country’s boogey man).
3. Would elect a woman after the Hillary debacle.
I was hoping for Wiener/Holder 2020
Soros needs to go”
He’s nearly 87 (August 12th), I think that Satan is working on it. With any luck, he’ll be on he way to Hell before the 2020 election.
Likely she will be...made her official coming out when she hammered Sessions
Kamala reminds me of an older/more mature version of Mosby....but her nature is the same...
