Vice President Kamala Harris gave the public its first real look into her nascent presidential campaign with a stop at her organizationā€™s headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware on Monday night.

Harrisā€™ first applause line came when she discussed her background as California attorney general and as a courtroom prosecutor.

ā€œIn those roles, I took on perpetrators of all kinds,ā€ she said, earning cackles while she beamed, clearly enjoying the joke. ā€œPredators who abused women. Fraudsters who ripped off consumers. Cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. So hear me when I say, I know Donald Trumpā€™s type.ā€

    People voted for Obama because they believed in change. Democrats canā€™t just win by making people hate their opponents. Democrats would have no agenda if all it took was making people hate their opponents.

      youā€™re talking like this is a normal election. republicans are trying to turn this country into a theocratic dictatorship, and if you think there wonā€™t be violence (again) if/when they lose, then honestly youā€™re either not paying attention, or are deluding yourself.

      everyoneā€™s absolute top priority from now on should be keeping trump out of the white house. that means getting everyone out to vote. ā€œagendaā€ or no

        People know Trump is a bad guy. If that is your own message it isnā€™t going to win the voters you want it to.
