What I can't come to grips with is how a candidate in the primaries - namely Kamala Harris - who was a singular failure with primary voters, so much so that she dropped out even before the NH primary, gets selected as the VP nominee by Biden.

What precisely does she add to the ticket? She comes from a state that is very blue, she was not successful in attracting black votes, had a mixed record as AG in California ....... and yet she was selected!

Just a Hilly Benghazi Rodman ( hy-Fan) Clinton mini me
Hey, Mouser, the word eloquently refers to Speaking not clothing or tailoring. LOL.

Obviously, Kamala is a better speaker than most Repubs.

Hey, Sweetie, I lived in South FL for 12 years. I don’t need some YouTube video to tell me about Hispanics.

Did you ask the same question about Sarah Palin?

Nope. You did not.

Did you say anything about Mike Pence? He was a governor of a red state who was likely to go down in defeat for reelection due to being too homophobic even for the Hoosier state until Trump gave him a lifeline

Not even relevant ...... I voted Democrat in 08 and 12. I could not bring myself to vote for Trump or Hillary in 2016,

I am past loyalty to any party and its candidates though I lean liberal in terms of my social views.

It is a mistake to assume that someone is a Democrat or Republican because he/she asks a question.

BTW, the selection of Palin by McCain was totally irresponsible.

I don't agree with many of Pence's views but I think he is a basically decent person.

Oh, and Pence brought the evangelical constituency to Trump which was probably instrumental in his victory.

What precisely does Kamala Harris bring to the ticket? Precisely nothing or very little.
