As Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) nears her decision on a 2020 bid, she foresees the inevitable opposition she’d face on the campaign trail.

“It’s a very serious decision,” Harris said at a Know Your Value conference in San Francisco this weekend, according to NBC News. “Over the holiday, I will make that decision with my family.”

“Let’s be honest. It’s going to be ugly,” Harris continued. “When you break things, it is painful. And you get cut. And you bleed.”

  1. Got yer back, Kamala. Bring it.

  2. The Bernie Bros have been attacking Harris ever since she came to Washington. The Trumpsters won’t be too much worse.

  3. Right there with you.

  4. If Jesus Christ came back to earth, bought himself a get-real casual outfit like they do now and started campaigning, he’d be attacked as a globalist who doesn’t really understand Real America’s values and was weak on that whole crucifixion thing and where’s the birth certificate and there’d be push polling about would you vote for a candidate who never even had a girlfriend that anyone knows of and on and on. He could raise Reagan from the dead and it wouldn’t help. So yeah. But she’d also get a lot of affection, respect, and support. I don’t know much about her besides that I like her but that’s sure a start.

  5. We saw what happened when Obama got elected.

    Won’t it be worse if a black who is also a woman ran for Pres?
