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.

Actually her as P and Keith Ellison as VP, or vice versa. Either way, utter destruction of the Dem party.

She doesn’t look black. I thought she was something else. And she has the nastiest personality, seething with anger, extreme rudeness and obviously full of hate - plenty of black people will vote for Trump, more than in 2016.

Fewer and fewer white people are guilt ridden, and those who are, don’t count. Minority of voters.

Nope. The more people see and hear her, the fewer will stomach her. Only the hardcores will like her. And there are fewer and fewer of them, they’re driving away the idealistic Dem voters. The core of raving nutter hate filled violence prone revolutionaries who like Antifa and that cop killer guy will be the only ones they can count on to vote for Harris.

He was all over the threads when this was hashed out years ago, always irrationally on the wrong side. You may remember; I do.

Thanks to you guys for keeping this in the discussion. We can’t afford to ignore the natural born citizen requirement for POTUS/VPOTUS.

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

There was some truth to what Gruber said about the stupidity o the American voters. In this case they will have had 4 years of non-stop Trump trashing by the MSM, the rats and the RINOS and the RINOS will have played their part by making sure Trump gets little to nothing actually done. They have zero respect for what we voters want.

What I want to know is - isn't there a better system? Who put 2 private entities in charge of our lives? They live for themselves. They pretend to care about the Constitution. They hold all the cards and they lie like rugs. I'm disgusted with all of them.

harris will not run against a successful incumbent. She will wait till 2024. They can dig up Biden to throw himself on the sacrificial fire.

The only thing you would have to tell voters is that Kamala Harris is from CALIFORNIA, specifically from San FranFago.
She just lost everybody between California and New York.
And she worked for Jerry (MOONBEAM) Brown.

Notice that businessmen like Bloomberg, Schultz and Eisner are silent at this point.

I think they can already see the writing on the wall. There’s no way to defeat the Don if he keeps going like he’s going. In fact, he just got started.

Amazing that only six months into his term and Trump looks like a shoo-in for 2020. He’s absolutely amazing. We are so fortunate.

Excellent points. Three strikes against her even out of the starting gate. Another thing is she is very junior in Congress, which will remind everyone of Boobamba.

Commiepukes and globalists hate the Constitution and want it disemboweled. One way is to destroy the actual meaning of NBC as it was commonly and legally understood until 0hole slithered onto the scene.

Hopefully this issue will be addressed sometime in the next 8 years of Trump’s presidency.

“he is the only President born after 1776 who did not consider himself a citizen for the US for part of his life”

Whig President John Tyler (b. 1790) was elected to the CSA Congress.

Dang, so many pessimists on this thread! Kamala is corrupt and as unlikable as Kankles, and she’s even further left than Kankles. She’s also a major league race baiter and a vicious femiNazi. I’m not afraid at all of this beyotch. She’s a perfect candidate for the libtards and she will be a big fat LOSER just like Kankles.
