He should win easily enough if he can stop saying black people ain’t really black... He isn’t a bad candidate to be president. He’s empathetic, and he’s smart enough to understand his limitations. I think he would be a good president. He’s swung really far left, not because of pressure to do so, but because the times call for it. The move didn’t seem like a political one to me.

tgo Posted May 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 Haha what laughably shitty timing for that bet on my part btw. /facepalm I’m afraid that the backlash to these riots may actually turn Minnesota red, Dems barely won it in 2016. Then again, maybe black voters in Minneapolis will be more energized and motivated to vote. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes it a rather large liability. I just hope Dems don’t get goaded into the trap of choosing Harris. I’d be good with Demings though but that seems unlikely. Warren seems like the obvious choice to me. oldschool 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant it’s astronomical odds that she ended up being the DA for that exact cop back in 2006. We are living in a Stephen King novel right now. tgo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctm Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 It wasn't just that Klobuchar declined to prosecute the one officer in question. She had over two dozen cases of officer misconduct referred to her office. In each case she referred the case to the grand jury rather than make the decision herself. That allowed the decision to be made behind closed doors with no transparency and no accountability on her part. That is what black activists are complaining about and why she got less than 1% of the black vote in South Carolina. They know what time it is.

Justafan Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 Warren is the obvious choice but I'm rooting for Demmings. No1TitansFan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitansFan777 Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 How was Harris’ record as a DA and AG? She could be a double edged sword kinda pick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctm Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) Harris has a long bio. Read the section on consumer protection and the number of multi-million dollar settlements she got while she was California attorney general. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamala_Harris Edited May 29, 2020 by ctm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prosecutors use Grand Juries to indict for lots of good reasons. Mainly it give them a trial run before taking a high profile case to trial. The use of Grand Juries isn't the problem. Its who sits them and the fact they routinely allow police to get a pass for criminal behavior. I would agree with the criticism leveled here if she didn't empanel grandy juries and decided not to prosecute. the fact 24 Grand Juries didn't indict is a sign the issue lies with the Grand Juries, not Klobuchar.

Titans279 Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 I think people see her and Harris as presiding over a corrupt system and basically doing nothing to change it. luvyablue256 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
