Kamala out* - snipes824 December 3, 2019, 12:11:31

Looks like we can beat the Republicans just by outliving them. - larue33 December 3, 2019, 16:12:15
Couldn’t blow her way into this job. * - Samricky December 3, 2019, 15:38:25
- Is there...some implication that she exchanged sexual favors for vocational or political advancement - Jackie December 3, 2019, 17:45:36
  - Yes, and it is really not much in dispute. The other women in the field have - Samricky December 4, 2019, 5:27:53
    - She seems to dispute it* - Jackie December 4, 2019, 6:00:57
      - She had an affair with Willie Brown in the mid 1990s. He subsequently gave her a start - ATL December 4, 2019, 6:14:41
        
        Seems her career benefited from the relationship - Jackie December 4, 2019, 6:34:01
        
        Never mind the 20+ women trump's assaulted or raped over the years, - Kimmerz December 4, 2019, 6:59:28
        
        No one gives a shit about Kamala and Willie Brown's consensual relationship - Casino December 4, 2019, 9:05:37
        
        I'll put you down for "assault ok" while we're at it. * - Kimmerz December 4, 2019, 9:16:03
        
        I already noted your nonsense response.* - Casino December 4, 2019, 9:20:01
        
        Lol. <3.* - DiamondDazzle December 4, 2019, 9:19:25
        
        I thought you'd like that. * - Kimmerz December 4, 2019, 9:20:56
        
        if only she had a rich dad, that could give her a political job the old fashioned way* - shua December 4, 2019, 9:15:56
        
        I'm sure you would object to when people make jokes attacking that too.* - Casino December 4, 2019, 9:19:32
        
        boys will be boys. Trump supporters idolize that he can do rich and powerful things... - shua December 4, 2019, 7:06:33
        
        I mean I HATE the whataboutism that is constant these days. But why do we applaud trump for - Taz December 4, 2019, 9:02:12
        
        If we’re going to condemn powerful men for sleeping with young women because ... - DoucheLaloosh December 4, 2019, 6:49:14
        
        First of all, we should never condemn victims of the system for using the system to - Taz December 4, 2019, 8:59:31
        
        I can only support a candidate who earned every position they got solely by hard work and merit - DT December 4, 2019, 6:45:23
  - Someone blew you thirty years ago to get ahead?* - Phytynlini December 3, 2019, 19:10:40
  - That much of her political success is attributed to her affair with Willie Brown* - CanHartlebHireSnider December 3, 2019, 17:49:12
    - At least her start. It is pretty well known. Took place a long time ago * - Tooldresser December 4, 2019, 6:08:11
- There are times when I think: "How could anyone support a giant asshole like Trump?" - IlliniRunner December 3, 2019, 15:41:33
- Yeah, she's no Mitch McConnell. - Kajagoogoo December 3, 2019, 15:41:29
  - I think Mitch is more of a backdoor guy* - DanSaint December 3, 2019, 16:41:55
    - Looking at him, he'll take it or give it any way he can. - Kajagoogoo December 3, 2019, 17:43:35
I think Bloomberg scared her off. - osklister December 3, 2019, 14:56:58
- I think she has her eye on VP. Now just white people up on stage (except Warrin', of course).* - Warrin'_Illini December 3, 2019, 15:01:46
  - Cory Booker and sort of Deval Patrick.* - SurfTheBoneyard December 3, 2019, 15:27:49
    - Neither have qualified for the debate yet* - CanHartlebHireSnider December 3, 2019, 15:32:51
  - I laughed* - TarheelIllini December 3, 2019, 15:07:33
- I don’t think Bloomberg had anything to do with this - CanHartlebHireSnider December 3, 2019, 15:00:29
- She must have been worried he'd split the broken windows authoritarian vote. * - doubledown December 3, 2019, 14:59:25
  - lol* - gvibes December 3, 2019, 15:06:40
- is Bloomberg trending in any polls? who'd he be taking supporters from?* - shua December 3, 2019, 14:58:04
  - I've seen him at 3 to 6% in recent polls. I also see he spent 23.7 million last week - larue33 December 3, 2019, 15:08:09
  - yeah, his spend got him into the top 5 in some polls - TarheelIllini December 3, 2019, 15:06:57
    - GOP's canceling primaries or only submitting Trump's name on ballots* - ECEIllinois December 3, 2019, 15:35:50
    - Former Johnsburger Joe Walsh! Nobody should spend money on that clown. * - Kimmerz December 3, 2019, 15:28:23
    - punch yourself in the face for saying "his spend" :) * - shua December 3, 2019, 15:17:14
Kind of interesting the people who have attacked Joe the most viscerally - CanHartlebHireSnider December 3, 2019, 14:18:45
Just donated to Cory Booker's campaign. Hopefully he can pick up what little support she had* - IlliniRunner December 3, 2019, 14:14:08
Her campaign was a train wreck* - CanHartlebHireSnider December 3, 2019, 14:06:32
I read this as Kamara out and about freaked out* - CubsWonWorldSeries December 3, 2019, 12:55:44

*Latavius dances* - Kajagoogoo December 3, 2019, 12:55:22
i guess maya rudolph’s saturdays are free now* - biclops December 3, 2019, 12:33:58
- lol.* - DiamondDazzle December 3, 2019, 12:54:46
I think she may be strong candidate 4 or 8 years out - RSMBob December 3, 2019, 12:26:01

I don't think experience was her problem. She has as much as Warren and more than the Mayor. - DT December 3, 2019, 12:29:18
- Pop quiz, what are two or three policies she believes in very strongly? - meanjeans December 3, 2019, 12:40:51
  - What do you want her to believe in strongly?* - DT December 3, 2019, 12:53:59
    - No, I'm saying candidates who don't have a cause and just want to win tend not to do well* - meanjeans December 3, 2019, 12:56:04
      - OTOH Biden's still in the lead* - ECEIllinois December 3, 2019, 12:57:29
        
        Biden has what 40 years of supporting labor and other traditional Dem constituencies? - ATL December 3, 2019, 13:21:42
        
        No Malarkey! - Chicago1995 December 3, 2019, 13:00:47
        
        Malarkey is Kamala spelled backwards - Tortillini December 3, 2019, 13:43:11
        
        Fair point but i think former VPs get to coast on previous administration brand coattails * - meanjeans December 3, 2019, 12:58:48
    - Healthcare. For everybody. Maybe with Medicare, maybe with something else!* - DT December 3, 2019, 12:54:25
- mostly due to dreadful/dysfunctional campaign infrastructure, i think* - suburbanmyth December 3, 2019, 12:33:17
Perhaps if she gets a personality transplant.* - Stu December 3, 2019, 12:29:09

Yes!* - Stu December 3, 2019, 12:25:01
really thought she would get more traction... seemed like a strong candidate on paper* - ECEIllinois December 3, 2019, 12:23:42
- yes, but then her lack of real, sufficient skills became apparent* - Potomac December 3, 2019, 12:30:38
  - You are doing a schtick!* - ATL December 3, 2019, 12:32:46
    - I spoke the truth. Do some homework.* - Potomac December 3, 2019, 12:33:31
      - what other candidates make you feel this way? just curious who does and does not have real skills* - torinese December 3, 2019, 15:27:20
      - She lost traction due to factionalism in her campaign, and uneven policy statements - ATL December 3, 2019, 12:40:21
        
        So she lacked skill as a candidate.* - Chicago1995 December 3, 2019, 12:57:33
        
        That's not a lack of "real, sufficient skills" - ATL December 3, 2019, 13:16:49
        
        I disagree. Being able to run a campaign is a real skill. - Chicago1995 December 3, 2019, 13:58:07
        
        yes, but it doesn't mean said person doesn't have any other skills* - torinese December 3, 2019, 15:28:12
        
        Or, more likely, that she is just nauseating* - Stu December 3, 2019, 13:40:38
        
        What don't you like about her? She wasn't my first choice but I'm surprised at the strong negative r - ATL December 3, 2019, 13:46:15
        
        she is a cop* - gvibes December 3, 2019, 14:07:05
        
        Bernie bro spotted* - ECEIllinois December 3, 2019, 14:21:44
- That's why we let progressive Twitter pick the candidates, ECE* - ATL December 3, 2019, 12:24:42
Somewhere Kim Chee throws down his pith helmet.* - DanSaint December 3, 2019, 12:21:26
Not surprising if the article re: the turmoil in her campaign was true. * - Kimmerz December 3, 2019, 12:16:25
- I think she was all out of money, too, and wasn't bringing very much in. - DT December 3, 2019, 12:24:54
  - The writing was on the wall a month ago - CanHartlebHireSnider December 3, 2019, 14:16:51
interesting, since she was one of the Dec. debate qualifiers... - shua December 3, 2019, 12:14:56
- theory i saw was to prevent her name from appearing on the ballots in California* - ECEIllinois December 3, 2019, 12:26:40
