Why Kamala Harris Hasn’t Caught Fire in the Democratic 2020 Race
Mercury News ^ | September 3, 2019 | Sahil Kapur

Kamala Harris entered the presidential race with impressive credentials -- a popular black woman with an inspiring story who hailed from a large Democratic state and drew accolades for her fiery questioning of President Donald Trump’s nominees.

Yet despite a shot of adrenaline after confronting front-runner Joe Biden in the first debate, she has failed to catch fire with Democratic voters who are torn between a nostalgic fondness for Biden and a revolutionary desire for Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren.

Harris’s attempt to replicate her feat in the second debate backfired among Democrats who say she went too negative on Biden. The Californian also suffers from a perception that she lacks a deep ideological well to guide her policy ideas, in contrast to her three main rivals who are better-defined. And her past as a prosecutor has earned her supporters and detractors ...

I for one am glad that Senator Hotness is cratering. I don't quite detest her as much as Barbara Boxer but it's close.

It would be hard to gain traction if the undercurrent websites continue to call her Willie Brown’s wh-re.

Answer: Because she is a dumber than a bag of hammers, sleep her way to the top, affirmative action hire.

"Kamala Harris entered the presidential race with impressive credentials -- a popular black woman . . . "

I couldn't read past that point. Gag reflex took over.

Because she doesnt hide that she is a communist.

The Democrat Party has a succesful track record of fooling voters into thinking it is not out to destroy America.

She should have stayed with that game plan.

“...a popular black woman with an inspiring story...”

Black woman? White Jamaican and East Indian they mean. Inspiring story? Sleeping your way up the ladder is still inspiring?

"drew accolades for her fiery questioning of President Donald Trump’s nominees"

Accolades? Who are they kidding? During the questioning of the CIA nominee (Mike Pompeo) all she asked was what he was going to do about gays, lesbians, and trannies in the CIA. She couldn't find anything more insightful to ask him about like, say, how will you use the agency to make the country safer?

Harris was always a fraud. She thinks she'll be the next Obama but with female genitalia, e.g., a single term Senator elected because of her race AND her sex.

Hopefully swing voters got that out of their system by electing BHO. With Trump favored by 28% of blacks and 45% of Hispanics, it is truly confirmed that it's about the economy, stupid.

The freeper who came up with the moniker "Heels Up Harris" deserves to be congratulated. She would make a better porn star than a politician.

Except that your average porn star has far, far more integrity.

She is trying to bring back the 1960’s race/culture wars

Nobody wants that, except fringe far leftists

Calling Joe Biden a racist because he did not support busing, a very poor policy that was a failure, was the point when I believe the moderate/wall street crowd told the DNC to pull the plug on this witch or they will back Trump

And they did

The Debates are not real debates, just a really big public opinion polling, that is all.

Even I won’t go that far, I try to stay honest even when I have visceral dislikes of people. She’s not stupid, she’s just a total political opportunist.

She retains the distinction, this election season at least, of being both a political wh-re AND Willie Brown’s wh-re.
