    Just so people are clear here and have all the facts, this guy is a Sean Hannity commentator. Context matters in posts like this. Again I state that people who say crap like this fall into 3 buckets. See earlier post for details.

    This guy works for FoxNews and is not coming out and making this statement in good faith and I’m pretty sure your “I won’t vote for Biden if...” sentiment also isn’t in good faith.

    Seems obvious that you are using suppression Techniques to move people to Trump.

    Biden/Harris would be 1000x better for the country than a second termed Trump/Barr (we all know he’s the real #2) If you care about actual democracy and things normal Democratic voters care about. A vote for Trump is a knowing vote for destruction of many elements of our Democracy. Unless Kamala personally put your dad in prison or something this decision is completely ignorant and irrational unless you are actually just a Trump supporter playing games on his behalf.

    Well, if she gets the job, God bless her. She's certainly the smartest and most qualified. She's no milquetoast. She might have to sand off the edges on some of her comments.

    As mentioned, I hope she isn't too much of a lightning rod. She's been such a foil for FAUX; then again, the far right has never been too keen on intelligent women, much less mouthy (GASP! oh, yeah, she won't just think it, she'll SAY it) women (DOUBLE GASP!) of color (TRIPLE AND QUADRUPLE GASP!)

    Reasonable people is a interesting term, remember these are people who continued to think Sanders could still be nominated because the allegations of Tara Reade and really pushed that story.

    I really don't think it matters because the margins will not be so thin and Biden is not Hillary.

    I don't see with her being a lightning rod as a bad thing it will energize the electorate IMO and the people that listen to Fox news will not be voting for Biden anyway.

    I see it as a plus.

    Does that mean he's a deplorable degenerate who will now vote for Trump because people called him one?

    Again, as I said just a minute ago, there are so many people that are just looking for excuses to come home to Trump. I have no idea if its a waste of our time to try and coddle those people thinking that maybe if we just take them seriously and walk on egg shells, maybe they'll just wake up and see the light.

    I tend to think that its a waste of time, and most of those people are going to go home regardless. The whole "oh if he picks Kamala, that'll be the last straw" thing just screams "Im looking for an excuse".

    Blue collar voters in traditional dem havens like Penn or Michigan shouldn't be taken for granted, but I agree with the general notion against "one choice" or "one remark" being the straw that broke the camel's back.

    It's the politicians job to separate noise from legit concerns. Biden better execute it because that's why the establishment presumably chose him....for that blue collar white vote Hillary called the cops on when they rang her gated community asking for an audience.

    This man is mentally unfit for any job, much less the demanding job of President.

    While Black voters kept Biden alive, the other candidates who dropped out didn't have to back him. They were prodded by Obama and donors to support him over Sanders who was the front runner. Biden owes a lot to Black voters but they weren't solely responsible for making the primaries end sooner than it already has.

    I think you're knee jerking from past Sanders debates. I can still call that establishment bias without conspiracy theories or whining how that process was bigly rigged.

    I am not knee jerking against anything, I am pushing back on the argument that the establishment foisted Biden upon us.

    Where was the this prodding before South Carolina?

    Why can't these candidates just have looked at the numbers and realized they had not path to the nomination.

    Biden got the votes its really that simple.

    i wanted Reagan to nominate Barbara Jordan to SCOTUS, and Mittens to pick Condi for Veep. I'd take Nikki Haley for President today. milquetoasts all.

    maybe i'm not far right enough for you.

    If you're for Trump over Biden, you're more than enough "right" for anybody.

    Trump so easily exposed the moral and ethical rot of this country. Just a pile of spoiled brats.

    Defending the indefensible. MAGA!
