Trump and the GOP’s Response to Kamala Harris as the VP Nominee Shows They are SCARED and Have Nothing

As most know, Joe Biden chose Kamala Harris as his running mate. All things considered, it was a safe and solid choice, and yet it still brought tears to the eyes, a woman of color will be going after Trump and Pence. As conventional as the pick was, it still felt bold – and good. More than a few professional “cool-kid” analysts on TV choked up a bit, and appropriately so. It was a moment, one of what we hope will be many Joe Biden moments.

And so the natural response is to look at how the GOP or Trump might react “in the moment.” The answer is, they have nothing.

That’s the best they have. That’s the statement from the RNC Chair, Harris has somehow become a “radical.”

And Trump? Given all the time they had to prepare for this announcement, what is Trump’s message about Harris?

Kamala Harris is a lot of things but “radical” isn’t one of them. She is more consistent in her pro-law-enforcement stance than Trump. Harris is far more “law and order” in many ways. She wouldn’t be out pounding on courts for pardons for co-conspirators, indeed she wouldn’t involve herself in the court process at all. There is no “law and order” attack that can stick to Harris, not from the Trumps.

Don Jr. made a bad decision, he wants people looking at which man makes women most uncomfortable:

The single strongest response from attack-dog Don Jr. is to call attention to #MeToo concerns? That could well be a positive. We damned well do need to listen to women and if Biden made women uncomfortable, he should listen. Now, time to honor the subpoena for Trump’s DNA and answer for all the allegations against Trump because Trump’s accusers should be allowed to confront him.

And poor Eric, the self-owned one. He retweeted out before the actual announcement and managed to step on a rake, again:

Nice job, Beavis. One doesn’t get to have a “Vice President” until one is a “President,” until then she is a “candidate,” not a vice president. My god he really is the dumbest one.

And here is the first campaign statement issued by Katrina Pierson. Boring! Sad!

There is a lot of new energy on the net, fully approving of Biden’s decision. The GOP and Trump have nothing on Harris. The Democrats are fully united.

Peace, y’all
