I feel like Kamala has checked out of the race...

...or perhaps she’s just not having a good night. Either way, not sure how much longer she will stay in. And it’s kinda sad because I really, really like her.

That's exactly what I've been thinking.

I actually whooped out loud when she announced her
candidacy but TBH, I think she was born to be the AG.

for some reason, she seems to have lost her mojo. If a Dem wins the presidency, and I hope with all my heart that we will, I hope that she will be Attorney General or at least have some other high ranking position in the administration. She is too good not to be a part of this.

Wed Oct 16, 2019, 12:22 AM

but she just doesn't fill a niche. Not quite a centrist, and not quite on the far left so her home is very narrow.

I think she'd have done better to move a little more one way or the other to challenge one side or the other directly, but she's tried to be in the exact middle and I think that's left her without enough support.

Wed Oct 16, 2019, 06:49 AM

The reaction on social media has been negative but that is a sorry sign. For three years Trump has incited hate, violence, racism and threatened war in 140 characters. Gun violence and mail bombs have been carried out by his supporters. He has violated the Twitter Terms of Service yet Kamala got criticised for saying what everyone else has been tweeting for three years.

Pathetic.
