"Too ambitious" is something I've literally never heard ascribed to a male politician. Good points. I started wt Harris and then went to Warren after Amy dropped out of the vp selection process. I’m satisfied wt Harris I think she will be a strong candidate Link to comment

She has a fine line to walk moving forward to keep herself likeable and her record won't do her any favors with left leaning and progressive folks. I think you are right. I don't think people really understand what it means to be a great speaker because I don't think most people understand how hard it is to speak. It is not about speaking your mind...it is about making people want to listen. Face it, name a VP that was anything special in the last 50 years...Dicky C is really the only one. The rest don't do much. Link to comment

After being falsely accused of rape. Kind of seems like she didn't do much to him. Pence won't do much in the debates just because that is his personality. And she may be really passionate but it is so hard to be passionate when the person you are fighting/debating is a cold fish. Did you even watch it? Dude was shook to his core, rambling on about how much he liked beer, and the only reason he's on the bench is because Mitch McConnell steals him some SCOTUS seats. Harris is going to make Pence her b!^@h, and it's going to be glorious. 1 Link to comment

Too emotional doesn't always have to be loaded, more times than not it is probably pretty fair. Not just for women either. Written like a man, who has never been told in an annual review, or at a table with leadership peers that he is "too emotional". It is loaded. Just like shrill, b!^@hy, tempermental, opportunistic, bossy, abrasive, aggressive, etc. 2 Link to comment

And yet her finest moments that she's earned accolades for in the last few years are when she's been focused and direct and assertive. I think one of her great strengths is her lack of backing down, of talking truth to power. I really hope we're turning the corner on women's skill sets being labeled differently than mens - it starts here. Set the example for your buddies Blitz. Link to comment

A debate where you're attacking opposing candidates to help yourself win is not that. She's a classic politician that goes whichever way the wind blows. 1 Link to comment
RedDenver Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 In reality the VP pick won't matter at all. Voters aren't going to decide between Trump and Biden based on Harris or Pence. The VP debate matters even less than a coach's pre-game comments. Link to comment
