What I'd Say If I Was Veep Nominee Harris

"I've been dealing with bullies all my life and I won't say they lost, but I will say I won. From the time I could walk and play I was ridiculed for being a girl, for looking different, for being black, for having parents who immigrated from another country. Once it started, it never stopped, but here I am to tell you that almost all of those people are in my rearview mirror. Almost.

"Like all those bullies I've left behind, Trump is trying to scare people with the fact that my parents came to America to study and build their lives. He says that it disqualifies me. The truth is it disqualifies him because he clearly hasn't read the Constitution. I am an American who was born in America. I have read the Constitution and I am here to put this unqualified bully in all of our rearview mirrors."

Let Trump's record speak for itself.

I still don't understand how so many Americans couldn't see the life-long list of failures that is Trump and vote for him.

But his years as president speaks volumes about his incompetence and corruption. Hit him with it over and over.

It occurs to me that if Senator Harris can be the fighter and attack Trump relentlessly, VP Biden would be free to talk about the future and how he'll fix the problems we're facing. Bad cop/good cop, sort of.

With all her talent, the audacity to feel the need to put words in her mouth.
