KHiver switching to Biden

I'm still grieving, but this election is too important to sit on the sidelines. I really like Klobichar, but I want to win, so I'll be volunteering for Joe. I think he'll be training his successor, so I hope he'll pick Kamala as his VP.

I hate what the media, the Right, and some on the Left have done to Kamala. It had all the hallmarks of a coordinated, planned campaign. It was sudden, and brutal.

I don't want to sound like sour grapes; I like Joe; always have. But I hate what happened to Kamala.


If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

In the meantime, she'll be a Senator, which is a powerful position in its own right.

For awhile she was my #2 pick, but it wasn't the media that soured me on her. It was Kamala and the scripted attack on Biden in that debate. I still like her a lot, but it will take me awhile to warm up to her again. I'm sure she has a great political future ahead of her. Maybe she just wasn't ready this time.

All campaigns face challenges; some overcome them, some don't.

And I wasn't accusing your boy. (My thoughts are my own.) The campaign came on strong and suddenly, and it was very noticeable.

I care that you're accusing anyone without actual evidence.

She was my Number 2 choice and now is a very viable VP choice. Plus, she'll be sitting in the Senate for Trump's trial holding many, many feet to the fire. And that's something she's very skilled at.

That doesn't erase the disappointment or the anger about the way she was pummeled by the media. Politics is a harsh mistress for anyone who participates. But the press is particularly tough on women, sad to say. We all saw what happened to Hillary Clinton.

The meat grinder never rests!

It's disgusting that Bernie's campaign complains about media bias when all candidates get hit by the media but none more than Kamala Harris.
