    On July 22, WikiLeaks published the Democratic National Committee email leak, in which DNC operatives seemed to deride Bernie Sanders' campaign[12] and discuss ways to advance Clinton's nomination,[13] leading to the resignation of DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz and other implicated officials. The leak was allegedly part of an operation by the Russian government to undermine Hillary Clinton.[14][15] Although the ensuing controversy initially focused on emails that dated from relatively late in the primary, when Clinton was already close to securing the nomination,[13] the emails cast doubt on the DNC's neutrality and, according to Sanders operatives and multiple media commentators, showed that the DNC had favored Clinton since early on.[16][17][18][19][20] This was evidenced by alleged bias in the scheduling and conduct of the debates,[c] as well as controversial DNC–Clinton agreements regarding financial arrangements and control over policy and hiring decisions.[d] Other media commentators have disputed the significance of the emails, arguing that the DNC's internal preference for Clinton was not historically unusual and did not affect the primary enough to sway the outcome, as Clinton received over 3 million more popular votes and 359 more pledged delegates than Sanders.[28][29][30][31][32] The controversies ultimately led to the formation of a DNC "unity" commission to recommend reforms in the party's primary process.[33][34]

    Yeah, your argument just shifted from people not being allowed to vote for Bernie to the debate was scheduled in a way that Bernie didn't like. A little different, don't you think?

    So you’ve gone for saying what has she done — she was hard on crime (not a good thing based on current MAGA dogma, I get it.

    Then the goal post is moved to “well, she’s a good AG, but that’s not presidential material. And so I pointed out that she was VP for 4 years, which is IMO pretty good training for the job.

    Now you’re taking an out-of-context quote on the borders to ask what her responsibilities were?

    That’s a lot of goal post movement. Regardless, I’d say that she is vastly more experienced than a game-show host who bankrupted a bunch of companies before he somehow won an election.

    VP of the U.S.
    U.S. Senator
    AG of California
    DA of San Francisco
    Never lost an election. Won a number of significant victories as AG. Destroyed predatory for-profit colleges. Took on oil companies. Prosecuted criminals. First Black woman to serve as VP of the U.S. and AG of California. Ass kicker.

    Law & Order Harris vs. 34-Time Felon Trump. Sucks for your senile old man.

    This is an ignorant, moronic and childish argument. Do yourself a favor and stop repeating it.

    Don't worry that Newsome would curry the favor of Putin away from the felon. Trump's already got the Russians working for him again.

    Even Donald Trump (before his dementia days) knew what a boss Kamala Harris is:

    So what? That happens in politics and parties. You do know that Hilary Clinton clinched the nomination by winning enough delegates in the primaries that the race was over before the convention? Your own article says that. Do you have reason to contradict these facts? But thank you for bringing up the Russian emails again. Another reminder what the Party of Trump hates Ukraine and NATO

    That is actually an accurate statement about community banks. Very bright lady. Former prosecutor. So we have a criminal versus a prosecutor now

    Yes, that's why he's so confused. Watching Dementia Donald for years, he's not sure what to do with an accurate statement from a coherent person. ;)

    Remarkable how little understanding people have of the Political party process. Or history. Even in a forum for college educated people. I brought up the 1968 Democratic Convention and the folks who immediately parrot the talking points don’t even respond. Just typical here

    Happy to educate you. Her resume is at White House. Gov Kamala Harris: The Vice President. And she did all of that while not bankrupting companies, being found liable for Fraud or rape, not being indicted and convicted, not being concerned about what crimes she has immunity for it whether her prosecutor was lawfully appointed or where to move top secret government owned documents so she could keep them. And she has managed to avoid offering fake electors to Congress— to be fair— she didn’t have to because she was part of llll a ticket that kicked Trump’s butt in 2020

    Granted its not the kind of experience critical to good governance one can gain from hosting a TV game show or failing repeatedly at business. Not to mention the international financial experience gained from laundering Russian crime money.
