In 2008 a lot of people were like, we did it, we washed our sins. This race thing is behind us now. Not so fast. Enter Donald Trump in 2016. The guy wears racism on his sleeves. The racists might think like they might think. But there are a lot of moderate whites who are like, you know what, we did not do in 2008 what we thought we did. Let's give this thing another shot.
Hillary lost in 2016 because the young people stayed home, and the white women voted for Trump for precisely racist reasons. But the soccer moms in the suburbs have had it with Donald. They try to teach manners to their kids, and then somebody turns on the TV, and the whole lesson goes down the kitchen sink. Trump is on TV.
Kamala Devi Harris is three in one. She is black. Black is the new black. She is a woman. About time. And she is Indian. This country of immigrants needs to acknowledge its most successful ethnic group. It's Indians. Right behind are the Jews like Kamala's husband. If Kamala wins, there will be Diwali all across India. The celebrations are going to be bigger in India than in America. Just you wait and watch.
Europe lays claim to the United States. Why can't India? It also is a continent.
Kamala Devi Harris is more muscular on race than Obama ever was. I really like her stance on gender, on equal pay. Fine the companies that don't pay equal. A woman could be doing the same job and getting paid less. In what universe? In the United States.
A US version of the National Health Service might sell well on the left, but you have to sell health care in America. If you have people fearing they might lose health care, you are toast. Kamala Harris understands that. She is a centrist by instinct. She is aware of what will sell.
Kamala Harris will take money from small donors as she should, as Elizabeth Warren does. But she is not exclusive about it. Harris has been smart not to let the big money folks think Biden is the only option. The big donors are not untouchables in Harrisland. That is a smart political move.
Harris is a natural politician. Her instincts are in the right place. She is a fighter who will throw Trump off balance. Harris will definitely win South Carolina. If she can win just one out of two in Iowa and New Hampshire, she will already be the nominee by the third contest. If she loses the first two and wins South Carolina, she might finally be able to stitch it together in her home state of California.
It is time a woman became president. It is time another black person became president. It is time an Indian became president. There are plenty of Indian immigrants in this country of immigrants.
Churchill was born in the US, and he made a big deal out of it in British politics. Kamala should take pride in her Indian mother, as she does. Donald Trump does talk about his "Scottish" mother, but then Donald is no Churchill.
Right now it is looking like a Kamala-Pete ticket. The generation change that was supposed to have happened with Obama did not actually happen. Donald Trump did not reverse only the progress on race. He also reversed the generation change. So 2020 will see the biggest jump in generation change among presidents. Every other earlier time it was a shift to one generation newer. This time it might be three. Something like that.
Kamala Harris has the Barack Obama confidence, and the Jim Carrey cheerfulness. Go figure.
Her slicing and dicing of Joe Biden in the last debate was pure action.
Women winning the World Cup was supposed to be a cause for celebration. Hey, learn from Brazil. Instead, it has been this slow-motion tragedy where you are like, wait, T-H-E-S-E women are having equal pay problems? The US men's soccer team is the biggest joke in all of sports history.
