Rough morning for the ‘favourite’ choice of mostly everyone…
Kamala Harris….
My wife has a view of the California US Senator…..
‘Abrasive and mean’….
Jill Biden probably agrees with my wife…..
I still think she’d be better as the Attorney General cleaning up Bill Barr’s mess at the Justice Dept. for Biden….
Politico: “When former Sen. Chris Dodd, a member of Joe Biden’s vice presidential search committee, recently asked Kamala Harris about her ambush on Biden in the first Democratic debate, Dodd was stunned by her response.”

James, I’m starting to think that the VP stakes may be a lot more up in air than I previously thought. Just getting a sense that the VP pick will be someone the Black community has a real comfort level with.

It’s about who Biden will be comfortable with…..
He’s worked with Rice for more than 8 years….
Rice souldn’t have trouble with the black community which should see her as a historic success story….
