WILLIE BROWN: Kamala Harris wasn’t cut out for it. Here’s what she should do now
SF Chronicle ^ | 12/7/19 | Willie Brown

Posted on 12/07/2019 4:58:09 PM PST by conservative98

Forget any talk about a possible VP slot on the Democratic ticket or chatter about an attorney general nomination under a new president in 2021. Kamala Harris should go on vacation, get away from the cameras and then get back to work.

No matter how brief her rise, Harris used her brains and brawn and made it into the top tier of the Democratic candidates. She became only the third African American woman ever to make a credible run for president, after Shirley Chisholm in 1972 and Carol Moseley Braun in 2004. That’s a real accomplishment.

But having been cut, tailored and stretched by advisers, Harris needs to get back into her own skin.

Running for president forced her to pass herself off as an expert on health care, the economy and foreign policy.

She’s not. That may come with time. But what she is now is a lawyer and a prosecutor. She can do a lot for her constituents in California filling that role in the Senate, starting with judging President Trump in an impeachment trial.

If there’s a new Democratic president in 14 months and that person thinks Harris should be attorney general, fine. But she doesn’t need to be seen as pursuing that, or weighing in on the Democratic race that no longer includes her.

She has repair work to do back home, and that starts with doing the job Californians elected her to do.

Is he serious? I get that some people are blind, deaf, and dumb, but this is a stunning level of self-unawareness. Has he not seen the memes or heard the jokes?

This is like Elliot Spitzer writing an article about what Client 9 should do next..

Lord Chisholm and Braun were not remotely qualified for President. Both were complete Morons. Harris is not even qualified to be a mayor anywhere.

Harris used her brains and brawn...

She used her brown more than she used her brawn.

Judging President Trump? Does he know that the senators sit on their hands and never speak? They are the jury.

Kamala has more miles played on her rug than a miniature golf course.

Looks like Willie wants to give her another leg up.

Brains and brawn? Does that mean head AND shoulders?
