oe Biden has chosen Kamala Harris, the prominent senator from California whose political career has included many barrier-breaking moments, as his running mate, his campaign announced on Tuesday.
The decision comes more than a year after Harris, who was also a 2020 Democratic candidate, clashed with Biden over racial issues during the first primary debate. If elected, she would be the nation’s first female, first Black and first Asian American vice president.

Probably the least likable, other than the witch Whitmer from MI. Great pick for us, it appeared that even blacks did not like her based on her South Carolina performance. Where was Jim Clyburn? Finally - she's not "black" - Jamaican / India Indian. Plus she is a nasty, nasty person.

From what I read, #1, you are right. Democrats must know it yet they have something up their sleeve. As for me and my house, this news does not move me. Trump will be reelected in 2020.

Ha! Knew it! The Dems are worried about CA. That is the only logical reason to put her on the ticket. She adds nothing electorally to a Biden ticket. The Dems know they are toast. Just trying to keep the down ballot in their biggest stronghold safe... And try to delegitimize Trump's victory along the way. That and old Gropy Joe wants some brown sugar.

She is NOT African-American, and they will try to fool enough people by stating she's black with the hope that word sounds like the same thing.
She's Jamacian (father) and Indian (mother) which is NOT Asian-American either.

Apparently Harris was born in California to a father who was a Jamaican citizen and a mother who was a citizen of India at the time of her birth and then for the most part resided in Canada until she was 18 years of age. So Harris is not of traditional African-American heritage, which brings up the question because of her parent’s foreign citizenship, does Harris meet the constitutional requirement of being a natural born citizen at the time of her birth? Chances are if some States keep her off the Democrat ballot as not meeting that constitutional requirement that the five liberals on the Supreme Court will have the final say on Harris’s natural born citizenship status.
Biden picking Harris is not really going to help Biden win any States that he would not have won otherwise. If you watched Harris during past Senate hearings it is clear that she is a very abrasive and nasty piece of work, and does not in anyway come across as a friendly and likable person. Maybe Biden will deputize Harris to debate President Trump in his behalf?

Technically, Obama wasn’t eligible either due to his alleged daddy’s African citizenship at his time of birth. Highly doubt anyone cares about Willie Brown’s concubine being ineligible either. Remember, POC and Dems are above the law. Barf.

Frightening thought that this radical, commie thug female from Commie California would be President if Biden is elected President because Biden will not last a year in office before he croaks from either dementia or old age. Can you imagine Biden trying to repeat the oath of office for President when he can't even read off of a teleprompter?
We all must work harder than ever to make sure President Trump is re-elected and the reality is the democrat communists are dedicated to outright stealing this election at all levels and imposing a totalitarian dictatorship over our beloved country..
Kamala Harris looks like a retired gone to fat WWF wrestler who transitioned from male to faux female. Brutal.

Joe must have liked her slight Indian accent, which he is prone to comment on. But I think she's an awkward fit. Her own campaign flopped. As others have said - she is Not African American. Expect an Et Tu Brute moment if this pair somehow wins.

Biden selected someone who slept their way to where they are (per Willie Brown in California) and seems even less likable than Hillary. Any criticism of Kamala Harris will be met with "your'e attacking women" or "your'e a racist" by Biden / Harris supporters. Harris will be anointed as the second coming. Her selection is nothing more than pandering to blacks and women. Unfortunately, some people may now vote for Biden / Harris so they can feel good abut themselves and help alleviate their "white guilt" and prove to themselves that they are not racist (these are people who are too dumb to be voting).

Let's think back to 1996. Rep candidate (Bob Dole) resigned his US Senate seat to campaign for potus full-time.
Can we expect Ms Harris to resign from the US Senate if she plans to campaign full-time?

It is my understanding of nationality law that if you are born in the United States you are an American citizen by virtue of that birth irrespective of the nationality or legal status of your parents. If that is correct she is eligible. That is why so many pregnant foreign national mothers try to get to the US to have their baby: so the child can be an American citizen at birth and grant them some kind of immigration preference.

It is really ironic that the founding fathers were worried about foreigners heading up the brand new U.S. government, tried to write clear language to avoid that, and we recently suffered through 8 years of a foreigner as president, and we run the risk of having another foreigner as Vice President, and, perhaps quickly, president.
At least Barack Obola had one parent who was a U.S. citizen. Kamala sutra has not one.
now I have to wonder if Kamala's mother became a Canadian citizen, and did the same with her two small daughters...even Chief Judas John Roberts would have trouble with that...

If both her parents were Green Card holders at the time of her birth, the SCOTUS esp under Judas Roberts might consider that to be equivalent of Natural Born Citizenship. God knows more unnatural acts have been committed with the Constitution.

This debate will never end, but I am of the view, as are most people. that there is nothing to support the idea that you have to be born of US citizen parents to be a natural born citizen. Being born in the US is enough. I do think there is an argument that citizenship should not be granted if the parents are here illegally.

Hmmm, chosen for Biden's running mate was a leftist DA who was putting potheads in jail while toking herself, all while sleeping with a married man to get the senate seat.
Biden is a DNC throwaway candidate for an election they already expect to lose. 20+ second tier candidates (not a first tier candidate in the bunch) and now we see two second tier candidates teamed together; the junior who called the senior a racist.
Fine. Let’s get on to November. As quickly as Hideaway Joe's health is going down hill, the only way he could have been the sitting president for any shorter period of time is if he had picked Hillary Clinton as his running mate.

Yawn. She never made it to first base during her Presidential campaign. Why should anything be different now? She probably hates America as much as Obama did. Doubt Kamela was Biden's first choice before he was cornered into selecting a black female. What a weak ticket.

She is a globalist/Soros plant. This is how the globalists continue their onslaught to destroy America. No conspiracy theory, she was funded by Soros for Senate here in CA.
You want to know who's behind the Biden campaign and why he's still on the front of the ticket, that's why. The majority of America doesn't want to be another socialist experiment--but Soros is counting on us to be. His billions, along with Bill Gates' billions are funding the globalist movement. Harris is Soros's way to the Oval Office.
They must be stopped! The lawlessness across the country has been funded by him and his cronies. He will stop at nothing to gain the world. Call me crazy, but you know he's bought the AG offices of most states and cities--you're watching it in Seattle, Portland, and Chicago. Harris was part of that in CA.

No one is going to pay any attention to the "natural born citizen" question and the republicans would be wise to let it be. Of more potent concern is the fact that she holds dual citizenship with India and some sort of reciprocal citizenship arrangement with with Jamaica ( and probably Britain as part of the British Commonwealth. All of which is currently being scrubbed from the internet. And just like the last Anti American Democrat Placeholder in chief she spent the first 18 years of her life in a foreign country, this time Canada. One can argue fairly persuasively that her loyalties and ideology is conflicted, to say the least.
She has also tried to connect with Black americans by touting her experiences growing up under segregation. She was born in the stalwart bastion segregation California, the same year the civil rights act was passed, years after Jim Crow laws had been tossed on histories trash heap and the first cognitive memory she has of living in the "segregationist" hell hole of Southern California was during Reagan's presidency. Shes toast and Biden wouldn't recognize toast if it had butter and jam on it.

Not so fast #40. First of all the concept of an anchor baby being a citizen is entirely based on a court decision and is still a subject of contention among legal scholars. Secondly it does not ipso facto follow that an anchor baby would qualify as a NATURAL BORN citizen which is a higher standard in the constitution intended to ensure no dual loyalties for our president. As a dual citizen of USA and Jamaica its doubtful that she will be held to be qualified if challenged which I think she will be in court. The only thing she has going for her is that if the suit is brought say by the RNC there will be the usual race card references being played. It might be politically risky to challenge her but hopefully someone will.

I'm so surprised at the number of L-dotters who do not know/understand the difference between being a "native" born citizen and a "natural" born citizen, and why the founding fathers thought this out in advance to include it in our Constitution.
