    like all that aside, a lot of folks aren’t appreciative of her background as a cop… but yeah that’s a cherry to what you already mentioned

      And a lot of swing voters will probably like that she was a prosecutor, a “law and order” type.

        I think most of the “law and order” types might have a bigger problem with her being a black woman.

          She aint “black” as much as “brown.” Its an incredibly stupid hair to split, but indians are generally considered a “model minority” by racists, so it will likely hurt her but not as much as you may think.

            Isn’t she half-black and half-Indian? Or am I mistaken on that?

            Regardless, the flame out of Bobby Jindal shows what those folks think of Indians anyway.

              No, you’re right. I honestly forgot she was half black.

              I guess I hope the “moderate” racists do as well.
