Starting her remarks at today’s Davenport roundtable, Kamala Harris hits Trump on his tweet attacking freshman members of Congress: “Real leadership is about understanding that the greatest strength & power that one can have is the power to lift people up, not to beat them down.”

@KamalaHarris talks about Trump’s racist tweets at a women of color roundtable in Iowa: “We planned on being here before those statements today and we plan on being here long after those statements were made.”

The “greatest strength and power one can have is to lift people up.”

Thank you for posting.

3. I like the way legislators are gravitating toward her candidacy at almost every stop on the trail.

5. Yes, indeed! I've noticed that, too, because it makes for a superior ground game.

9. :) Yes to all. Interesting and encouraging to see this event

was put on by LULAC, The League of United Latin American Citizens. We all need to be united to defeat the Republicans Etcetera.

10. Well, well, well, I did not know that the roundtable was by LULAC!

Just looked it up and pleased that not only was LULAC's President Jazmin E. Newton was, of course, there but so was Davenport NAACP Vice President Vera Kelly.

Thanks, Hortensis!

12. A Univision poll of Hispanic voters after the debate showed

Harris and Castro had broken out of the pack and surged into first and second places respectively, displacing Biden and Sanders. Castro had been #3 and Harris way down, so that was dramatic.

Also, 2 out of 3 said anyone but Trump, they'll vote for whoever becomes the Democratic nominee.

[Kind of Blue]

13. That's great for especially Castro. Their outreach is outstanding.

I'm thinking this primary season is strongly coalescing everyone under the Democratic umbrella. No matter who the nominee is, our candidates are showing up and ramping it up and helping to lift people out of despair.

Thanks, Hortensis!

14. Yes, agree. We're doing good.

This picture of @KamalaHarris and Rep @phyllisthede right before she endorsed is making my heart burst. Women supporting and lifting up other women is what I am here for in 2020 #ForThePeople

8. Yes, Sir! People who've lived the life and brilliant, too. That's where good governance,

nurturing and healing begins.

My view of Iowa has certainly changed after seeing these photos of Sen. Harris campaigning there.

Thanks for posting, bigtree

6. I love it.

"We need each other!"

This is why I am voting for her. It's not about "her", it's about everyone, and we all need to work together. She can bring people together, and after trump we are going to need someone like her to fix the mess he will leave us, and to bring the country together again.
