Pundit Chris Matthews is encouraging Vice President Harris to distance herself from the policies of the liberal wing of the Democratic Party as she runs for president this fall.
Matthews, during an appearance on MSNBC early Monday, said Harris should lean into her personal story, saying she has a chance to say, Heres who I am. I am a daughter of an Indian immigrant, a Jamaican immigrant, and I had a tiger mother. And I went to Howard.'
Why did you decide to go to Howard, why dont you identify with the African American history in this country? People want to know, Matthews added.
Harris, Matthews said, should also make it clear that she is not a member of the squad,' a reference to a group of liberal House lawmakers including Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.).

(1,103 posts)Now I did move to SoCal right out of college so obviously biased. But here is the rub, coming up on 40 years in CA, so getting close to retirement. A few months ago I ran the delta of, what if I took every damn cent I put into 401k's and bought CA property. Conservatively, I would have had at least 2.5x the amount of money for retirement. So CA housing is one of the best examples (positive) for free market capitalism.
Newsom does a good job of slapping people around on the CA slurs, Kamala has a basic template to use.

(17,358 posts)I've been mostly here in CA since 1978...
Love it. I'm a homeowner and worked most of my career here.
But I've traveled a lot and have been told directly by management at corporate offices across the country (My former employer has around 10 US locations) to make sure I don't have CA license plates on my car if I've driven there...
Across the Mid-West and into the Deep South... not a lot of fondness for Californians.
And now that I think about it... the Pac Northwest isn't fond of us either. I spent a year outside of Seattle babysitting a production facility and people blamed Californians for the real estate crisis and home pricing.

(110,342 posts)as her VP candidate, is he now obligated to explain every aspect of his Judaism and whether/why he does/does not agree with every aspect as practiced in the US and Israel? Do we hook him up to a lie detector, just to be sure?
