107. I can't get over how good she was

Fri Jun 28, 2019, 12:07 AM

Jun 2019

I was her early supporter and then switched to Pete but will be watching her closely again. I’m afraid Pete’s candidacy is over due to police killing in his town and failure to record it while he was saying all around the country how great he is by implementing body cameras. I don’t think you can recover from this considering strong competition.
I’d be curious to see polling changes between biden vs. harris among AA community. I consider race issue is #1 issue before healthcare, economy, etc. maybe equal only to gun control.

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

How do you feel Biden is doing tonight? leftieNanner Jun 2019 #21

IMO not fantastic, but credible enough that he's not hurting himself AdamGG Jun 2019 #26

I think he is two steps behind leftieNanner Jun 2019 #27

I think he won the scrum with Harris customerserviceguy Jun 2019 #30

i think she ate his lunch StarfishSaver Jun 2019 #32

It started out pretty effective but ending with the busing thing was just ridiculous. Just what is UniteFightBack Jun 2019 #62

"the busing thing" is only "ridiculous" to some people StarfishSaver Jun 2019 #65

Don't throw that black female candidate bullshit at me GOT THAT? It's opportunistic to lie about UniteFightBack Jun 2019 #67

What part of what Harris said is a lie or says that Biden "coddled and praised segregationists"? StarfishSaver Jun 2019 #86

Post removed Post removed Jun 2019 #90

Harris made the statement a week ago about Biden coddling segregationists this was a continuation Thekaspervote Jun 2019 #104

Starfish! You made a great point. That Biden supporter isn't doing his candidate any favors talking DemocracyMouse Jun 2019 #120

He didn't win it - looked to me like he got really flustered womanofthehills Jun 2019 #143

i beg to differ. She twisted his words re: the segrationists and got way too emotional at that point onetexan Jun 2019 #48

He just sounded old leftieNanner Jun 2019 #51

i didn't get that impression. He was very measured. No gaffes, only on point. onetexan Jun 2019 #54

She didn't twist his words at all. StarfishSaver Jun 2019 #61

you're entitled to your opinion. i beg to differ. onetexan Jun 2019 #63

How did she twist his words? StarfishSaver Jun 2019 #93

Joe's comments have been debated here on several long threads so i'm not going to bother going there onetexan Jun 2019 #96

IOW, you can't explain how her comment in tonight's debate twisted his words? StarfishSaver Jun 2019 #98

not that i can't , but i WON'T. Bye! onetexan Jun 2019 #109

What about this BAD quote by Joe?????? womanofthehills Jun 2019 #142

I think he did OK - mission accomplished. nt UniteFightBack Jun 2019 #58

Just stating "mission accomplished" isn't an argument. DemocracyMouse Jun 2019 #121

Harris isn't doing her homework! Attacks on biden only seem to help him not hurt him Thekaspervote Jun 2019 #105

What exactly did she say that was an "attack"? StarfishSaver Jun 2019 #113

"Your comments were hurtful"??? RHMerriman Jun 2019 #114
