I love Senator Harris, but if anyone thinks a female who's also an African American can be elected in this land of misogyny and racism, I'm sorry to say, but it's doubtful.
I like the chances for Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker, Joe Biden and some of the other old timers, IF they get adequate funding and a modern team of staffers who know social media and have the energy to make up for their candidate's lack thereof.
Though I agree, we do need some young blood in office, I think it will take an old pro with deep contacts in both Houses to clean up the messes this fucking orange menace has created.
On the bright side, at least the Democrats won't have the GOP's problem of finding a candidate who doesn't have orange Cheeto stains on their mouths or zippers.

Anybody following the news story about Georgia Secretary of State, Kemp (GOP), in his run for Governor against Stacy Abrams (DEM)?


That horrible person is misusing his power by purging Black voters from the voting rolls.

So it is more than a little suspicious that Kemp, who also happens to be the Georgia Secretary of State, is implementing a massive voter purge that just happens to have caught up tens of thousands of black voters.

Here's the article from AlterNet (Today: October 10th, 2018):
