It made him sound like he knew when to quit. ucrdem Jul 2019 #47
Right. He was in a no win situation and knew it. Especially since... Kahuna7 Jul 2019 #54
Yes, once she said "hurtful" anything more he said would have been called lashing out, ucrdem Jul 2019 #57
And if she hadn't said it was hurtful to her and she just talked about his record StarfishSaver Jul 2019 #61
She said this was a calculated campaign move to confront R B Garr Jul 2019 #75
The fact that she planned in advance to bring it up doesn't undercut my point at all StarfishSaver Jul 2019 #96
She had t-shirts prepared to sell, so it totally undercuts R B Garr Jul 2019 #99
He wasn't boxed out at all. He could have said, marylandblue Jul 2019 #139
She misrepresented his words and the context. Fifteen second R B Garr Jul 2019 #143

Should we keep lying about Kamala's responses to R B Garr Jul 2019 #148
Yes, it's absurd, but I've accepted we live in a post-truth world, and marylandblue Jul 2019 #155
You're actually comparing a t-shirt with a picture of Kamala Harris as a little girl to MAGA hats? StarfishSaver Jul 2019 #161
I'm just noting the role symbolic identity markers play in politics. marylandblue Jul 2019 #162
Yeah, it just seems there shouldn't be double standards on who R B Garr Jul 2019 #164

Sadly, this is going to bite her in the ass...unless she figures out a way to make amends with Biden Pachamama Jul 2019 #9

You are still trying to twist forty years of ancient history R B Garr Jul 2019 #65
Stating facts about a candidate's record isn't "twisting 40 years of ancient history" StarfishSaver Jul 2019 #73
Saying Biden hurt her is twisting 40 years of ancient history. R B Garr Jul 2019 #77
Speaking of twisting words StarfishSaver Jul 2019 #129
I never said what you are distorting. Just like you distorted R B Garr Jul 2019 #131
In other words, you can't cite anything in my links that disprove my point StarfishSaver Jul 2019 #132

Did you notice that he pushed back hard? ucrdem Jul 2019 #34
It didn't look to me he pushed back hard. Maybe when he tried to bolster his civil rights creds Demit Jul 2019 #49
