Chris Clemmons for U.S. Congress said they shouldn't make healthcare decisions for men, women, or *smirk* "any of the other 37 gender options that are available now."


Well fucking done. Taking time out of her closing statements to call that piece of shit out.

the audio wasn't that good for me and hard to understand everything she said.

But, I could still tell she handled it well as a teaching lesson.

...to correct an ignorant position by a POS used car salesman. She had likely planned a closing statement for days if not weeks leading up to that forum, but she took the courage to go off the cuff and attempt to segue it in to her platform.

And she did so admirably. I'm sure she wasn't able to expound on a lot of points, but portraying herself as a listener was an incredible act. She remains a super long shot in this primary with two white dudes with the full backing of money.

Rather glad she's continued to highlight and attack Republican and Libertarians, even with the current debate about Welder getting press ATM.

Instead of going low, she specifically chose to have her campaign highlight her verbally asskicking someone who deserved it and not a fellow Dem, even if he's getting attention right now. All of her attack Tweets have been against the Republican incumbent and/or Trump.

The much smarter route for her campaign.

Guy who's only claim to fame is working on other peoples campaigns for a decade.

Time to "give back" to him even though he literally has no other accolades than running campaigns.

Sharice Davids was a White House Fellow (basically a years long paid intern for the White House), with a very unique and interesting background that can provide a unique perspective.
