Folks, let's stop for a minute and reflect on what Kamala Harris did in the last 24 hours.

Donald Trump started this week with ugly comments about lynching and ended the week getting an award from an OUTSIDE group on an HBCU campus. That had to be challenged.

So Kamala Harris pulled her support for the forum. She was prepared to hold a counter-program with her own people.

That was a huge gamble, because it only works if you have the ability to rally your own supporters on short notice. Team Kamala HAD that ability, and therefore was taken seriously.

It's also important to note that Columbia Mayor Steve Benjamin, one of the co-sponsors of the event, had a choice to make -- he could side with the Trump friendly sponsors, or side with Kamala. He sided with Kamala.

Now, that doesn't automatically mean an endorsement (and Benjamin will be a big endorsement when it comes) but it never hurts to work together toward a common good.

So tactically and strategically, this was a big win for Team Kamala.

Yep. She has had a very good 24 hours.

11. Yeah but then

I think that was just a new, questionable poster who was trying to cause problems here. We seem to be getting a lot of them these days!

5. Always glad to see someone stand up for values.

6. Still waiting for other Democratic candidates to back her up

So many of them came to Gabbard's side last week. Not one has defended Harris against Dotard's attacks, or thanked her for standing up.

I am still wondering why.

9. I also wonder why

16. Interesting, isn't it? nt

7. She did. She's got the right stuff -- when she decides

to or has an opportunity to use it. I’ll proudly support her if she takes the nomination. Right now, that’s a big if.

12. Harris has what it takes

to be a great president. I don't do twitter, but I heard the Russian trolls were out early bashing her. I honestly think trump is scared to death of having to face her in a debate. He saw what she did with Barr, and he knows she would wipe the floor with him.

It's still early, and I think there will be some big changes coming in a couple of months, and she still has a chance.
