Let's bring brains back to the White House.

Kamala Harris was born on October 20, 1964, in Oakland, California, to a Tamil Indian mother and a Jamaican father. Her mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris, was a breast cancer scientist who immigrated to the United States from Madras (now Chennai) in 1960.[2][3] Her father, Donald Harris, is a Stanford University economics professor who emigrated from Jamaica in 1961 for graduate study in economics at University of California, Berkeley

We need another Barack-like person with the gift of brains at birth. Grifters like Trump need not apply.

Hmm... is she "qualified" based on the accomplishments (brains?) of her parents?

It's obviously a good start when mama is a medical scientist and daddy is an economics professor. It sure beats daddy being a criminal and mommy being a mail order bride.

Yep, coming from a stable and fairly rich family background has its advantages.

lol...you did catch that both parents were immigrants. Correct? That means they were neither stable nor rich until they accomplished something by their own merits. Much unlike silver spoon CombOver guy Republicans elected in 2016 or the Oil Boy they put in the office last time.

If you guys are really opposed to the elites, you need to vote Democrat.

Maybe you should read more than just the first three sentences

Jus sayin

Maybe the OP should have talked more about Harris' brains than the brains of her parents.

Jus sayin

Republicans elected two corrupt failed elitists Businessmen in a row. When will they ever learn?

She has to be smart to get this far, but the talents of parents isn't all that important. Several of our recent presidents, or contenders , have come short of being qualified despite their parents success.

Another Obama indeed. Harris is a big government socialist who is dumb as a box of rocks when it comes to having the brains and good sense to recognize the serious budgeting problems in just one of her outrageously expensive multi-trillion dollar showcase welfare proposals.

Kamala Harris' Big Policy Idea Is Even Worse Than I Thought

Democrats have got to stop spending tax dollars we do not even have and will not get to lure the poor and ignorant to vote for them.

I love the hatred Republicans have for California for no other reason than they vote heavily Democrat.

Sorry, not Republican. I vote for what I consider the best candidate available.

Your statement makes no sense. You love the "hatred Republicans have for California". (understood your opinion), " for no other reason than they vote heavily Democrat."
Correct me if I am wrong. Since you are talking republican hatred, Republican is the "THEY" in your statement, not residence of CA. :lamo.
I highly doubt Repubs in CA are voting for Dems.

Most Republicans, including some of those in CA i'm sure, are always bashing California. Are you denying this?

No.
I am also sure CA Democrats bash Republicans and other States. CA has been critical of AZ for example in some of its laws it has passed. Laws which do not involved CA.

Naahhh ... she's qualified based on her skin pigmentation ...

This is why I tell Democrats not to worry that Republicans are taunting Elizabeth Warren over her Native American ancestry. Republicans will do that crap to whoever is the Democratic nominee.

Republicans are "taunting" Pocahontas about her non-existent native American ancestry (1/024 ha ha ha) and claiming to be Cherokee (Pow Wow Chow).

If modern day Republicans had their way, every state would be like Mississippi. And, that is why I no longer vote Republican.
