Not surprised. Kamala Harris is an intelligent and experienced PERSON who will make America sane again.

Looking forward to MAGGAT heads exploding nationwide when Ms Harris wins in November.

To all those who didn't vote for Hillary in 2016 because she failed some purity test in your feeble minds, remember what that got you...3 corrupt SCOTUS justices and 4 years of a lunatic in the White House. Are you ready to repeat that mistake, or have you learned from it?

But Kamala's voice is so shrill! She reminds me of my first ex-wife! /s

Make fun of her all you want (as you are just another male bully), but she is a tough as nails and 1,000 times smarter than tRump. This election has now become a choice between the academic or the fool.

You seem to have missed the "/s" after my post. Silly me, I thought I wouldn't even need it.

You forget trumpies post here.

Which is precisely why I ended up putting the snark tag on there.

I feel your pain as I too get called out even when I use the /s code. My theory is when people said something outrageously ignorant in the old days people assumed it was sarcasm. With so much ignorance around now we can never be too sure.

And I appreciated that.

Look folks, Kamala’s record speaks for itself…. ADA, elected DA, elected AG, elected Senator, elected VP… What more can you ask for? We can win with Kamala at the top of the ticket.

Completely agree with your incisive assessment of the situation, Michelangelo. I went on a roller coaster ride of emotions in the past few weeks, never thinking I would end up exhilarated and excited once Joe Biden stepped out of the race. Nor did I think he would receive the kudos and laurels he deserves not only for being a fine president but also for making this selfless decision at the perfect time, after the RepubliKKKlan Fascist Rally but still with enough time to engage the Democratic base and the young and undecided voters. I'm fired up again! The Prosecutor versus The Felon. Debate that, #TraitorTrump!

Yes!!!

I can’t wait for the debate (that tRump will probably cancel because he is incompetent and afraid of smart women).

Especially smart black women.

But … please don’t turn this into a race election. We have enough division already. It’s a great bonus that she is a Black woman, but shouldn’t we focus on her intelligence, experience, and character?

I agree 100% . But Trump and his followers won't. I bet right now they are trying to figure out how to demonize her by using dog whistles on race and gender. They can't afford to lose the small number of women and minorities that support him (there are distressingly too many who do). To attack her on policies means they have to talk about Trump's policies, of which there are few and most are unpopular. The RNC is now controlled by Lara Trump and her minions, none of whom have much experience in running a national campaign (they fired most of those who do), and are now caught flatfooted with this change.

I expect a "throw anything against the wall and see what sticks" approach in the coming days, and that will likely include attacking Harris on everything and anything.

Never forget the ever present press and how they will treat this not just the GOP. I see the NYT is very concerned Obama hasn't endorsed Harris. I can see where this is going. Just wait and watch the press and how quickly the age issue falls off their radar. Sometimes it seems liberals want to pretend the press is not against us and blithely believe our side will receive equal treatment when there has been so little up until now. Trump is the perfect foil for Democrats in their narrative and so our side does the same. The press fears Trump and laughs at us.

I really don’t think that the Republicans will dare to touch Kamala’s race or gender unless Vance (not his real name LOL) decides to divorce his wife (who is another intelligent and accomplished female).

MAGA is whining that Biden pulled a bait and switch. Imagine if Biden waited until the Democrat Convention to endorse a candidate promising only that he decided on an exciting, very capable candidate. It would have given the Republicans only 2 months to focus their attacks. This announcement frees up Joe, who has 6 more months in office to add to the success of an already one of the most successful presidency in history. He may not have the vim and vigor necessary to be a formidable candidate but he certainly has enough to be a highly successful President.

Excellent analysts. Now Harris has to prepare for the attacks. The Trumpista can’t find the guts to admit they are racists, so they hide behind petty sniping.

Well said, Michelangelo! While I am sad that Joe Biden could not continue on, I get it. He is being selfless and everything he did was for Americans, and this decision is no different. My only hope is that his legacy is filled with admiration and love and well-deserved credit for the enornous job he did the last 4 years - and for beating Trump the first time because God knows where we'd be right now. It truly has been emotional over the last few weeks. That all being said, GO KAMALA! I'm also certain Biden will be speaking out on VP Harris' behalf, as will others. And, you KNOW Trump and his band of grifters are super upset about this! LMAO A smart, woman attorney who is light years ahead of him in intelligence? She is like Kryptonite to Trump! LOL Her being an asian/black woman of color is just a BONUS, folks!! Her brain alone is no match for him! She is overall a fresh voice for all voters and potentially new ones too, and while it is not about race, we should use everything in our toolbox to win this election to keep Trump out! Lastly, I hope Trump has major gastric upset over this from now until the election! And, I hope we get these two on a debate stage because that will be must-see poli-TV of the century, folks! And it will be delicious to see order restored once again in our country on November 5th when Kamala kicks his ass all the way back to the hole in the round he crawled out of in 2016. One more thing if I may, I for one would literally do a jig and yelp in delight if Mayor Pete decided to run VP for Harris. OMG, a road scholar, veteran, gay guy who can outrun most people on intelligence and class? Where do I sign up for THAT ticket!!! I think that would be a POWERHOUSE. Just my humble opinion. We shall see! 🤣

I’ll be honest with you, Michaelangelo, I haven’t been able to listen to progressive talk radio or your show or watch MSNBC since this whole “Biden needs to step down” saga began. I had major surgery (I’m doing well) on June 25 and I needed to save all my energy for healing. Now that we have news that President Biden has stepped aside for Kamala Harris, I feel more at peace. I’ll be tuning into your show today at 3 p.m.!

Glad to hear you're doing well Jordan!

Michelangelo-you said it all, perfectly. Our president made his decision and put our country first, knowing that a capable, smart and articulate woman, his VP Kamala Harris, will be a proficient successor, after his outstanding four years as president. We now need to unite and energize to make SURE Kamala Harris becomes our next president.

Of all people, Nikki Haley made a telling prediction months back, about the winning party being the one that offers a “different” candidate than an old white man. NH is right. Kamala Harris a stark contrast to the befuddled, fabricating, frail, narcissistic Drumpf.

Haley Voters PAC now endorsing Harris.

Thank you for a good analysis. I also believe that Harris will energize the youth vote much better than Biden, and that is critical for winning in many states.

Liked your previous choice for vp, Mark Kelly.

I think Harris/Kelly or Harris/Shapiro is a good ticket. Kamala will wipe the floor with that orange criminal!

Personally, there is a buzz about Kamala and it seems like the energy behind her is amazing. I think this was a brilliant move, first off, Biden made this decision. #2 Strategically, there is no longer any more discussion about age on the democratic side ... now Trump's the grandpa and smells ... but I digress!! #3 she checks all of the boxes, she is young, she is a woman, a person of color, and a person of Asian descent, plus she is married to a Jewish man. HA!! I think that the MAGA people thought they had this in the bag!! Well, let's see if he has the courage to debate her, because she is fierce!! I have not read anything negative, I think was the shot of adrenaline that the democratic party needed!! Many voters expressed that they did not want a Trump/Biden matchup, now people who do not like Trump or Biden have a new choice and no excuses!! Bidnen endorsed her, Obama endorsed her, the Clinton's have endorsed her, AOC has endorsed her, so many endorsements!! The debate will be priceless!!

Very well said. The excitement around Harris is very reassuring. The Democratic party turned a terminally negative situation positive in one day. I am proud of the party. I am proud of Biden for releasing us all to a fresh youthful voice.

Hello Mike and MS Pals, am very happy. Donated and will continue to donate when I can. She’ll push back on the border lies easily confronting the fact it was Fake Bone Spurs who sabotaged the bipartisan bill. She will bring in women, women, women. And black women. All of whom vote vote vote. There will be a big backlash with the smear campaign. I love the fact the RNC has wasted millions in unusable ads. FBS hilarious complaints on his site yesterday about how he has to start over. Lol, loser. Harris is a brave and strong candidate. Many big donors and others will sit tight until the process is complete but then look out. Full throttle support. I feel the same energy as with BO when he first ran. I was a state delegate that year for him. Yes we Kam(ala)! Thank you Biden for your patriotism and leadership. Let’s Go!

I got phone calls from frantic friends and I told them Smokey the Bear could run for President and I would vote. It's not about the ticket, it's about democracy over dictatorship. Plus, when the political elites decide to pull their money, there is no choice but to step aside.
