As a Trump supporter, I see that as about the best choice he could have made.
That's the thing, she got annihilated by Gabbard and was one of, if the the, first to drop out. She did horrible in the primary and now this pick is supposed to look like a stroke (no pun intended) of genius?

She was out early,never got a lot of steam and is from a state that's going to go Democrat even if Biden put Reagan's ghost as his vp. I guess with her having the most republican track record they're looking to woo some gop voters, but seems like someone from a swing state would've been a better choice. But he'll, maybe the Dems are looking down the road. If she does well the next four years, Biden can retire and she'd have a decent chance running for POTUS.
Yeah, your VP pick is supposed to bring in voters you wouldn't otherwise get. Harris isn't doing that, at all.

I can tell you from a personal perspective, she's not popular in the black community. I'm certainly not saying I am the weather vane for the black vote but I can tell you there's a lot of negative feelings towards her. Bmore pointed out that a lot of right wing outlets are saying she isn't even black. The only people I've ever heard say that are black people.

I honestly don't know what came of that as I could be wrong, but pretty sure she said that.
She did, and that's going to be a hard one to walk back. I suppose they'll probably play it off by saying "Trump said grab 'em by the feline" making, basically saying yeah he did it but Trump is worse.
