By the way, I went to the Women's March in Frederick, MD today. It was very inspiring. The Resistance here is alive and well and there are many high school and college activists involved! More good news to warm the heart!

Honest question, because the two big things that I am seeing on Twitter is that she has connections to the, for-profit prisons in California, and being for the death penalty.


Id like to hear her response for that in the future.

I always love to watch her questioning people she's sharp and no nonsense.

She's a lovely woman as well.

And she does make one feel joy. When is the last time anyone felt that way about a presidential candidate?

She would take no crap from him in debates if he tried to stalk around behind her. Hillary should have turned around and given him a smack upside his ugly fat head. I think Kamala would make sure she put him in his place.

Plus, I love seeing right wingers' heads explode.

It's too early for me to commit support to one candidate. I'm thrilled so many good ones are thinking it over or throwing their hat into the ring. I still have so much to learn about these candidates.

But Kamala guaranteed that I've got to take a good long look at her as a candidate with her message and roll out. She was electric and uplifting today.
