By Jennifer Rubin Jennifer Rubin Opinion writer covering politics and policy, foreign and domestic Email Bio Follow Opinion writer May 3 It is not merely grizzled men in the Democratic Party who think they need a white guy to win. Democratic women, nearly all of whom voted for Hillary Clinton, will say without prompting that they cannot “risk” this election on another woman . My colleague Dave Weigel has heard it. I’ve heard it. Pollsters I have spoken to have heard it.
The search for a white man stems in large part from the fear of not winning back the white male vote in the Rust Belt, something that Democrats have agonized over since November 2016. But anyone paying attention in 2018 saw that throughout the Upper Midwest and in suburban districts across the country, moderate women racked up victories. The congressional freshman class of 2019 is the most diverse ever.
Surely there are lots of ways to win states like Pennsylvania, Michigan and Ohio. Rallying African American voters, turning out young voters and pulling white women away from the GOP would work. It did work in 2018. This week, Sen. Kamala D. Harris reminded voters that there is more than one way to slice and dice a dishonest, arrogant white Republican man. She filleted Attorney General William P. Barr, showing she can plan out and carry off a rhetorical knockout. Hey, maybe she can stand up to Trump on that debate stage. Maybe she is the one to rally the African American vote and keep those women who crossed over to vote Democratic in 2018 in the Democrats’ corner in 2020.
My theory: prepare 2 minute summations for every policy. Also prepare a ass-kicking summation re Trump crimes like Rep Raskin did. A woman can win but not without a knockout punch. Develop one
She is another vacant elite seeking power.
I totally support her. Looking forward to the debates. She's brilliant.
She. Will. Lose.
Is it from her knees?
If your down to Sen Harris providing strategy. Then Trump could get to 400 Electoral votes.
Well, a prosecutor would certainly be the right one to deal with Trump.
She has no chance
We need mainstream votes this time around in order to bulldoze dump. No one risky, new, different or exotic is worth 4 more years of this sh*t.
As a woman she offends me and is too smug. She needs to tone down her attitude and let people interview her. Otherwise she is a fraud.
LEGAL SPEAK & DO NOT LET HIM BATE YOU...
Harris is missing three critical components. All Democrats are. Love for Family, God, Country.
Harris is a remarkable individual but her past life in criminal justice is going to work against her. I don’t think the election is going to “slice and dice” the way she hopes. It is a pleasure to watch her question witnesses in open Senate hearings. Skills!
Doesn't matter. She is gonna lose to Bernie.
Trump 2020
We sure as hell don't need you!
I really really really want to see her debate Trump. She would mop him up off the floor!!!
It's not about race or gender. It's about keeping America great! Making decisions that benefit the American taxpayers, lowering taxes, bringing our good manufacturing jobs back to the United States, lowering our deficit
Challenges challenging challenge.
Maybe 'Heels Up Harris' can have an affair with Trump and then accuse him of harassment.. Fits her skill set and she likes older men apparently.. winwin 😏
Screwing your way to the top, will not get her any further. Plus, lack of morals or a brain, doesn't qualify her for anything. This no class HO, isn't in Trump's league.
She has issues.
Never news just opinions.
What's Nancy's opinion? By the awesome Frankie D Studios FaceBook
So her claim to fame in the senate is a law she sponsored for a crime that hasn't been committed in over 30 years and she's a serious thinker? Funny
I love it❣️ The Democrat base who treat their emotions as facts & are all about the 'FEELS', use their emotional reasoning & decide that the way to fight mean old white man Donald Trump, is with the militant, misandrous, bitter, cold fish, KamalaHarris. Yeah do that Democrats💋
Ms Mattress Back
Get him off your minds and daily routines, and off the front pages. Let him be!
Horizontal harris
Ya think?
Trump would soil his pants if he ever debated with Harris.
HARRIS, A FORMER PROSECUTOR, CAN OUTTHINK A DONALD TRUMP 2-1.
You can start with not photo shopping her her picture!
There's the unfortunate video of Swingin Kamala out there that will be brought forward at the perfect time.....
Keep thinking until his second term is completed.
While Democrats think)
Trump ordered to introduce duties on Chinese goods for another $ 300 billion
Kamala Harris is the best candidate to be president. Unfortunately the centrist left are pulling for Biden while the progressive left are pulling for Bernie. I'd love Bernie and Kamala to be running mates.
Forget it Harris. You’re as boring as a rock.
Trump fears Black Women Harris in 2020.
Written by Jennifer Rubin 🤣😂🤣😂
Is she running on actual policies and issues in order to beat him in 2020? Oh wait nvm, “Orange Man Bad” right?
Let's all remember that Hillary won the popular vote by 3 million. And would have won period if not for: Putin and Comey. The problem is not the gender, the problem is the LIES!
Reality: “Harris is challenged to think” Observably true: “Harris is a challenge for anyone trying to think clearly and discuss differences rationally.”
You asked Putin?Did he give you permission to talk?
Nasty Woman.
best way to challenge trump is not to challenge him! because whole america is with him
“Voters who think we are being inundated by a horde of violent immigrants and feel that white men are victims are not persuadable voters.” Yup
She’s of no significance !!!
👊
Step up to = NASTY WOMAN! Now politics is reality show theatre- that’s REALITY!! KamalaHarris SenateDems TheDemocrats
Has ZERO to do with race,age.who you're arrived to etc etc It has everything to do with experience & electricity. Quit w/ the purity tests,democracy is hanging by a thread.
Ummm nobody cares about Kamala
What do think she would say if Trump stalked her on the debate stage? She would point at his chair and tell him to park his ass in it.
Thinking for the Thinking-Challenged
Neoliberal (right-wing/'Centrist) Democrats are the REASON we have Trump as President. America is demanding change, a move away from Capitalism and toward freedom, democracy. There is no longer a market for right-wing Democrats. Bernie2020 MedicareForAll GreenNewDeal MMT
Two options Sanders Harris Biden China war but the progressive will takeover America
No one can challenge trump! Middle class americans are with trump
