This made it obvious that Biden was seeking a token -- some sop for the woke progressives in his base. And that sop opened the door to further demands: the demand, for example, that he pick not merely a woman (or, as the woke left might have it, an individual with a cervix) but a black woman.

There are a lot of problems with Harris but questioning why Biden chose her is idiotic. The reason is obvious; Biden chose her for the same reason Trump chose Pence. Women and African-Americans are the two largest parts of the Democratic base and Harris checks off those two boxes. White men and evangelicals are the two largest parts of the Republican base and Pence checks off those two boxes. Your vice-presidential pick shouldn't hurt the ticket. Harris doesn't.

Absolutely, but don’t expect the media to vilify her.

“Ben, you are on drugs. Biden has been a race pimp from day one of his campaign.”

I don’t know about drugs but shapiro has a strain of TDS in him, just not as virulent as in most on the left.

From the article:

“Facing a volatile, mistake-prone incumbent,”

A false premise in the first sentence.

This pick makes no sense...

The DNC is fractured. The Bernie wing is taking over from the Obama/Clinton wing.

The power brokers from behind the scenes are deathly afraid of losing their position inside the party.

That is why they staged South Carolina to save Biden's candidacy and they threw Harris in to ensure no Bernie people are in positions of power.

Harris is loyal to the Democratic establishment, not the radicals.

This is all about holding on for another 4 years in hopes they can run another establishment Democrat at the top and push the Bernie/AOC wing to the margins.

Blacks are 13% of the population. Black women of voting age are < 5% of the US population. This doesn't make sense.

More over your post is juvenile in so many ways. Whites don't vote for skin color, they vote for policy. Quit projecting your tribal racial bias's onto white people.

I saw some twitter reactions by the usual leftist racists. Someone actually said “there is nothing the right can say against (kameltoe)”

THAT is the very definition of living outside reality.

“heels up harris” seems to be sticking.

Have Ben and the rest of the Republicans all agreed to never bring up Heels Harris’ experience in gaming to the top with her genitalia?

That's why Shapiro is a cuck.

I will never forget how she attempted to intimidate and humiliate a border control official a few years back. It was the most vicious and cruelest public display of hate I have ever seen. She is capable of vile, inhuman behavior. I despise her and all like her. Mean women are the lowest form of life on earth. She is the meanest of all. Her heart and soul were sold to the prince of darkness. One day, not soon enough, she will face a righteous God and be given a judgement worthy of her putrid, lurid, reprobate life.

The back story is that Biden preferred Gretchen Whitmer. The dems may have forced Kamala Harris on him because she is the one least likely to object removing him via the 25th amendment.

Hillary is finished as a presidential candidate. I think the Democrats are throwing away the presidential race to concentrate on winning back the Senate and keeping the House, and of course I mean stealing back the Senate. They can keep Trump at bay for the next four years while controlling the investigative committees in Congress. I think this is the Democrats Plan B. They can plan more investigations on Trump and pave the way for winning the presidency and controlling both chambers of Congress in 2024. I don’t think the RATS want to get involved in a stolen presidential race. Controlling both chambers in Congress to harass Trump and the GOP and waiting for 2024 would be a far better plan for the RATS and a far less messy scenario for them to eventually gaining everything in four years.

“Now we have new kooky theory that Hillary will do so like what, 3 days before the election?

I swear that witch lives rent free in people’s heads.”

For whatever reasons people can’t seem to understand that all things Clinton are not just dead but DEADER THAN BILLS PECKER WITHOUT VIAGRA.
Donald John Trump drove the stake firmly into the heart of the Clinton Machine.

Fortunately Webb’s kid Chelsea has even less charisma than the bitch that whelped her so there won’t be a second generation. But there are those here who believe Chelsea is just waiting her turn.

Is Kamala a radical? She, according to FNC, gets higher ratings from Police than the ACLU. I believe people who say she has no core beliefs except getting promoted are correct. She had the left hating her when she was running last year. She is no radical. She has veered left recently, but if she is elected and becomes POTUS, she will be more like Clinton than Obama.
