Senator Kamala Harris was supposed to be the posterwomyn for progressive Democratic presidential primary voters: Intersectional, youngish, San Franciscan, reliably lefty on a whole host of issues, yet with a law-and-order record that might appeal to party moderates. Harris showed some of that prosecutor's flair in the first round of Democratic debates in June, when she went hard after former Veep Joe Biden for his old stance on busing. That attack generated enough positive press to prove Harris truly belonged amongst the frontrunners.
Except that since then, there's been a whole lot of not much -- and the progressive left and the Mainstream Media (but I repeat myself) have taken notice.

There is only slight problem with Biden's argument. As Steve Sailer mentions, there are not enough white kids who attend public school in the LAUSD and SF to desegregate.
So far, I think all of the Democrat candidates have only succeeded in showing how flawed they each are. What a weak field.
I think Biden may be the dem Bob Dole of the election....his numbers are very strong in all the D primary states. At this stage I don’t see how he loses.
But I also think that the general will be a very different story for sleepy Joe.....
It sure would be interesting if Tulsi Gabbard took a dive into Kamala Harris’ handling of the charity filings by various high profile charities.
Are the Epstein charities or the Clinton charities in compliance with California law. (hint — be skeptical of the online response and double-check)

I forgot to buy my “that little girl was me” shirt from her campaign.
Can you still get them? I hope everyone on my Christmas list wants a shirt with the scowling face of a young Kamala on it.
Sarcasm.
If the D’s were like the R’s, Biden would be it, just like Dole was. It’s “his turn”. But they’re not. So I don’t know. It still could be, just because nobody else can be taken seriously.
It’s kinda like being the winner in the Daytona 500 because you barely limp across the finish line on three cylinders and two flat tires and all the other cars blew their engines.
Harris is only around, same thing with Powder Puff Pete, because the IDENTITY POLITICS UBER ALES white guilt wing of the Democrat base are in love with the IDEA of a black female being president, or an openly homosexual being president in the case of Powder Puff...
Neither are remotely ready for prime time.. but that doesn’t matter.
She’ll maintain okay polling until that segment are forced to move on.. until then they will both mill around not moving much at all.
I believe there’s a more specific reason. Obama wants her to be the nominee.
She talks like a Honky.
“But I also think that the general will be a very different story for sleepy Joe....”
I saw a few minutes of Biden being interviewed on CNN last night. He sounded pretty sharp. I was surprised.
It’s going to be Biden, and he won’t fare well for the obvious reason.
Biden is the Democrats “great white hope” which I find COMICAL beyond belief.
They know they can’t win without the upper midwest/rust belt, so they are DESPERATE to find someone who they think can win there... the smart money knows that none of the rest of the lot will remotely appeal outside of the liberal enclaves of the coast. This is the same reason anyone knows Powder Puff Pete’s name as well.. OOO he’s from the midwest, he can win (sadly, he can’t, he wouldn’t even win his home state if he were in a statewide election, and honestly given his performance back in South Bend over this police shooting, I’d say he’s no shoe in even for re-election as mayor... Which BTW his next re-election will be the first time he will be up and his behavior won’t be in the closet.. so if he loses based on merit of his ineptitude he will blame it on folks not open to his behaviors.)
The reality is this, as much as Democrats pretend otherwise, WHITE WORKING CLASS VOTERS are their single biggest voting bloc.... They have alienated them with decades of identity politics, and “free trade” garbage, and illegal immigration. Trump, just like Reagan made inroads in this group in 16, and has even bigger inroads to be made in 2020.
The Demcs can’t win if they can’t hold that bloc, and they are not going to hold it...but they are desperate to try.. Hence you get your Biden. The bulk of the field is just whackadoo, and will never appeal outside of deep blue states. They sure as hell aren’t going to motivate the blue collar upper midwest voter to not vote for Trump... They will stay home before they vote for the likes of most of these butt clowns.
Biden, while weak, is tolerable... He can’t win, no democrat can.. but he won’t keep D turnout down, and won’t completely alienate the independents.
The D’s (smart ones anyway) know that 2020 is a lost cause.... the D candidates job in 2020 is to simply keep the base engaged and motivated enough to show up to keep the down ballot slaughter to a minimum. As much as the media, and the flappy lipped idiots want you to believe, most D’s are not raving left wing lunatics... They put up most of the others in this field, and you will see depressed turnout even among the D loyal.
Biden is a mess, no doubt, but he’s probably the one who will do best overall in the general, even thought he doesn’t excite anyone really. The problem with most of the rest is, yes they do excite SOME of the D coalition a lot, but they also turn off a LOT MORE.
Because of the goal of 2020 as a D is to keep the base engaged, because they can’t win, you will only wind up of 1 of 2 types of candidates.. 1 an old past his prime, back bencher, party loyalist, who knows they won’t win, but understands they must keep the base engaged for the sake of the down ballot races.... This is your Biden. The other possible candidate is some young firebrand fool, who is too foolish to realize they can’t win. Of those 2 types of candidates, the prior ends up doing better for the party, than the latter... because while the latter may indeed excite a segment of the base, he won’t excite or motivate most of it.... And you wind up with depressed turnout because they are just too whackadoo.
The rabid D base has shown that its not going to accept anyone remotely normal... or not rabidly left. So it will be up to the everday democrats, who actually outnumber the radicals to show up and vote in the primaries. If they do, Biden or someone like him, is the nominee.. if they don’t then one of the whackadoos gets the nod..
The dynamics of this race are lining up to be like 1972... if dems put up some raging liberal, they will go from being soundly defeated to being embarrassingly routed.
Best case IMHO for the D’s is 15 states or so plus DC... If they put up a whackadoo, they may not even get double digit states plus DC.
I always thought she was a little hot.
But the thought of Willie’s wee willy wanking her weaned me off that thought.
Harris blew it when she joked about herself smoking weed while imprisoning others for that very “crime”. There’s your two justice systems laid right out in the open.
Remember, McTurd was so low in the polls he had to carry his own suitcase at one point...
Harris is the most likely nominee.
IF ... we can overcome the VOTE FRAUD margin.
Three Nationality Harris is ineligible.
Fizzzzz until only water remains.
Nice commentary, Hamilton.
Scott Adams predicts Kamela Harris will rise to the top and dismisses Biden as someone who will quit the face soon.
But I believe your analysis. I saw parts of Biden in the last debate and he held his own, even while attacked by many.
