of Kamala Harris since she became a senator are now experts on her past and present abilities and accomplishments. They are planning a campaign to oppose her for not being pure enough.

I use to post about Harris here when most folks had to google her name to see who I was talking about. Now they are the Harris experts.

Just watch if she runs in 2020, they will do to her what they did to Hillary.

amazing that Booker was singled out for having received pharmaceutical donations, but other Democratic senators that voted against the same bill were not chastised. I wonder what Harris and Booker have in common?

The same thing they have in common with Barack Obama? I made a similar observation and was excoriated for it.

dividing Democrats - but, Democrats are almost always somewhat divided (my profile quote is from the 1920s or 30s)

That kind of money buys a lot of elections. With people in the U.S. as gullible as they are, it doesn't take much to wreck the country.

spending $5 million, $10 million or $50 million is a drop in the bucket when you're talking $500 billion
