rolandsmartin Who cares? Harris is not going to win. As much as I love Obama, this country is not going to elect a black woman. I hate to say it but this country needs someone that can bring us together. That’s not Haaris or Sanders.

Who?

Who cares? She’s just another Obama meaning that she’ll sit around and do nothing and then when a republican gets in office, they’ll push the narrative further to the right. She’s not the right candidate.

rolandsmartin You can rest assure over on tyt they're going to make a big stink about this, I try to say that she's not quote Progressive Like Bernie they might as well call themselves The we hate Kamala Harris Network.😒

When your slogan is “For the People” and ur having high dollar fundraisers at the Hamptons it really means ‘CORRUPTION AS USUAL’ KamalaChameleon waffling on every issue and policy she touches 🙄

They must have bought her new Knee Pads!

Well that just ended her campaign. Obama was NOT popular.

Dems, get ready to open your mouth and take whatever the DNC shoves down it.

Not MY candidate of choice so I don't care who pays her what.

An Obama Administration Impeachment Expert on Trump, Mueller and What Both Parties Are Getting WrongA conversation with constitutional scholar Cass Sunstein about the history of impeachment, how it’s being misunderstood, and yes, the Mueller report LOL... Rolling Stone Political Journalists...LOL Not attempting impeachment is the downfall of America.
