Heilemann: Republicans Effectively Admit That Harris Is Qualified To Be VP | The Last Word | MSNBC

Of course she's qualified. It was a great pick. The GOP doesn't know what to do with themselves right now.

[amyahlquist]

I’m just hoping and praying for a government that can function amicably at this point regardless of party.

[tomchapman]

Top of Trump’s to do list - 1. Get cheeseburger, 2. Get coke, 3. Play golf, 4. Think of nickname for KH

[facitenonvictimarum]

Wheww!! Thank God the Republicans approve!!
I was anxiously awaiting their decision about Senator Harris's qualifications. Now I can sleep.

[sykoslim]

They only picked her cause she's a woman & "black"... but Democrats "don't play identity politics" 😒

[TheBaconVanMan]

Lol

This is good though. I wish this would happen more often. Mad respect for McCain when he said "Obama's a good man and you don't gotta be scared of him being your president."

We're all on the same side!

TEAM USA!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸

[garettanderson]

Inside all of you are crying over Trumps victory.

[reaperunleashed]

All I have been hearing from my Republican friends is celebration because they feel Kamala Harris will make a Trump victory easier.

[kohllinden]

One thing most people can agree upon Biden pick the right running mate to help trump win.

[neild]

What republican actually believes the title of this video? The real answer is ZERO.

[Natef]

I think Biden made the perfect choice. I cant wait to see her debate Pence.

[nepatrul]

“...is what the Republicans haven’t attacked her on: Her qualifications and credibility to step into the Oval Office.”

_Are you living on the same planet as I

[MASTERSAIS]

She is more qualified to be president than Biden.
Unfortunately for us that is worse at best

[elviscostello]

What Republicans? This is a absolute leftist lie. Susan Rice for one would have been a better pick. And I wouldn’t vote for Joe or any person he could think of.

[OnTheAir]

This election won't end racism, but it will give us an approximate number of racists in American, by seeing how many people vote for Trump.

[JavFoster]

I can't wait to vote for the Biden/Harris ticket in November.

[BigtimeAL]

Trump 2020!!! Biden doesn’t stand a chance!!!

[Pete]

Anyway Kamala can sleep Joe's way to the top...

[doclewis]

Honestly, she had the least baggage. That's my sincere opinion. I'm voting blue no matter what. We need some leadership with the health crisis. We need some true blanket mandates to help EVERYONE be safe and help everyone get back to business.

[truthseeker]

If you are not picking the best person for the job and are making statements that you have to be or can't be a particular race, and you most be a woman to apply. The real question is how is that not racist and sexist?
