August1991 Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 (edited) At first, good. Then, not I reckon that both women are ambitious but lazy. Read Crosbie's book Edited July 25 by August1991 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herbie Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 And I'd say they're nowhere similar and not at all lazy. Campbell was handed a job doomed by Mulroney and lacked any popularity, Harris a job against a pervert criminal jeopardized but not doomed by her predecessor. And has charisma and people skills far beyond Campbell who came off as a nagging fishwife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean? 4 years Vice President isn't enough 'qualifications' for you? Her entire career history counts for nothing? The support of so many delegates already makes a leadership contest moot, yet it will still happen. F'off she didn't earn it. Most Trumpian argument ever. WTH did Kim Campbell do? Besides beat Hedy Fry... once. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herbie Posted July 26 Report Share Posted July 26 you know that a law degrees just makes them more damn elitists in the eyes of the proletariat that won't admit they're proletarians. It's 2024 have some Brawndo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She made the most sense, as gave Biden the black vote, women and made him look more progressive and diverse. She was an insanely predictable vote, but not the most qualified on paper or in policy. IE a diversity vote. She has been called out for her track record as a prosecutor, and may turn away voters if her detractors are successful at fully exposing it, nationally.

herbie Posted July 26 Report Share Posted July 26 (edited) OMG I can't believe YOU are pulling out that card. It's politics, it only means she was the best political choice not that she wasn't qualified. She had to meet the qualification not have the most. Otherwise you think he should've picked Bernie? TWO old white farts in office? Look at it this way, I once had to choose between 2 potential employees, one a superbly qualified miserable grotesque older woman who was 6 months pregnant who had a standing biatch face or a 20 something that could do the job and was smiley eye candy that brought people into the store that smiled back while they paid their overdue notices. Which one do you think I hired? Was it the right choice in your books? Edited July 26 by herbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herbie Posted July 26 Report Share Posted July 26 I dunno, but I won't be voting for ones that don't have law degrees and want to pass Crime Bills every 24 hours that aren't constitutional for their entire term. Or leaders that think the notwithstanding clause is something you just snap your fingers and invoke if you don't get your own way. To the subject though - Kim had far less credentials in her bag than Kamala does. For a far less important job to boot. On top of a fate that was utterly predetermined ....

As Carville says, you vote Democrat. === It is hard to be a politician. It requires ambition, talent, energy. I reckon that Kim Campbell had the ambition - even the talent but she was lazy. Harris? She has the ambition. That's all. ==== I suspect that Biden is looking at the situation as Nixon once did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herbie Posted July 28 Report Share Posted July 28 Oh FFS I live in BC and cheer on the Dems as Trump is the most loathesome, ignorant hateful lying boor ever elected President. Plus he's #1 enemy of Canada with the policies he enacted and proposes. That one would even consider voting for a convicted criminal, pervert and known fraud, up to his nostrils in his own shit is beyond all comprehension. And I contest that Kim Campbell was lazy. She was doomed from Day One by the blowback from Mulroney's GST and in Atlantic Canada for the cod closure. Didn't stand a chance, and it showed in the end. The entire country breathed an audible sigh of relief after 8 years of Tory rule. Harris polls much better against Trump than Biden, but FFS in reality one of Caligula's appointed horses should out poll a convicted criminal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

August1991 Posted September 2 Author Report Share Posted September 2 (edited) Post CNN-Interview. She's lazy. === In the early 1990s, after Meech, the Tories chose Campbell in a desperate measure. In the early 2020s, after Biden, the Democrats chose Harris. At first, it looked good. The poll numbers were positive Edited September 2 by August1991 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
