My favorite Hillary surrogate:

[sufrommich]

Jennifer Granholm,watching her on CNN, she rocks!

[merrily]

1. She works for the PAC that helped Bernie raise over a million bucks in a day by smearing him.

I'm not mad at her.

[artislife]

2. Canadian.

I wonder if deep inside, she is sad not to be a part of the incredible age Canada is embarking on.


My BC friends are all aglow.

[bvf]

3. This is a picture of Jennifer Granholm,

walking, with her fist in the air.

Do I have that right?

[riversedge]

5. Hope you do not have a problem with that?

[bvf]

8. Did I say that?

I was simply summarizing the OP in case anyone was having trouble figuring it out.

[riversedge]

9. ok. Since Jen is the only person in the photo and there is only one photo in the OP I do

not think anyone would have problems. ha ha

[bvf]

14. Here's another picture of her.

She's certainly consistent. I'll give her that.

[riversedge]

15. She is lovely and dynamic. Thanks for pic

[bvf]

16. No problem.

Twitter seemed to have a different take, however.

[sufrommich]

20. What was Twitters take? nt

[riversedge]

25. I recognize that pic. It is from the 2008 Democratic nominating convention

[riversedge]

4. Jen is the best. sharp witted with a sence of humor. Was she on cnn? That is good if so

as she is a great surrogate for Hillary. Sorry I missed it.

[sufrommich]

6. I love her,first female governor of my state.

[riversedge]

10. I have to admit--i think I first became aware of her

and her dynamic persona when she gave a speech at the Dem convention She was on fire .

[KMOD]

7. Yes.

She's fantastic.

[Scuba]

11. I met her when she was in Wisconsin campaigning for corpo-Dem Mary Burke. She's a great ...

... speaker but a lousy judge of character.

BTW, corpo-Dem Burke got crushed by Squat Wanker, worse than corpo-Dem Tom Burke did.

12. My favorite Hillary surrogate was Castro.

http://www.texastribune.org/2015/08/30/castro-questions-sanders-commitment-latino-communi/

"I want to say this in all frankness. I didn't come here to knock any of the candidates, but Sen. Sanders has not reached out to the Hispanic caucus in Congress, has not reached out to me. I've never met the gentleman. {He} has not visited Texas or the Rio Grande Valley," Castro, a San Antonio Democrat, said during a stop at a Mexican restaurant in Des Moines. "That's a bit of a concern.

"

Of course he did clear that "falsehood" up later, at a different event somewhere else.

Castro clarified Monday he was specifically referring to Sanders visiting predominantly Hispanic communities in Texas. In July, Sanders held rallies in Dallas and Houston that drew thousands of supporters.

There were several OP about that... here on DU, such as this one

[NCTraveler]

13. Love Castro. nt.

[riversedge]

17. Bernie made a big mistake in not contacting Castro when he was coming to Texas. Campaigning

involves building up contacts --and making contacts. Obviously sanders did not think Castro--and the Latino community was worth his time.

[Autumn]

18. A political tiger like Castro would have known Sanders was there to campaign

[riversedge]

19. It was the politice and politically astute thing for Sanders to do the

contacting of Castro. He is the candidate.

[Autumn]

21. Castro knew Sanders had been there to campaign, he walked back that lie

at another event, that's made clear in the article. The polite and politically astute thing for Castro to do would have been not to lie and say Bernie had not been there. Hispanics protested Castro for saying what he said about Bernie. But I'm not going to rehash this. Have a nice day.

[Vattel]

28. What a stupid thing to say:

"Obviously Sanders did not think that . . .the Latino community was worth his time."

[beam me up scottie]

29. It is, if he didn't think they were worth his time why was he there?

The things you read in this forum make you wonder where people get this stuff.

It's like they just make it up as they go along.

Castro-Sanders Feud Growing? Protest Planned In SA

[Bread and Circus]

22. Either Lanny Davis, Crazy Florida Racist Airport Lady, or Geraldine Ferraro...yeah, my top three

[bvf]

23. You can practically *hear* this one.

[riversedge]

24. Love that energy

[bvf]

27. You *do* realize it's an animated .gif

and not an extended video, right?

A muscle spasm of similar duration would provide the same impression of "energy," however illusory.

[riversedge]

30. of course I do. Yet the energy id spilling out of it.

[Funtatlaguy]

26. Why can't she run for President

But Cruz, also born in Canada, can?

[riversedge]

31. My understanding is that Cruz had dual citizenship.

[tammywammy]

32. She got her US citizenship through naturalization

She was born a Canadian citizen to Canadian parents. Ted Cruz was born in Canada with at least one US Citizen parent. He received his US citizenship at birth.

Naturalized citizens are ineligible for the presidency.
