For a couple of hours on a recent Thursday, Sen. Kamala Harris of California became the favorite to win the Democratic Party's 2020 presidential nomination.
According to the oddsmakers, that is.
PredictIt, a website that allows election junkies to place real money behind their political prognostications, has been asking thousands of its traders who they think will be the party's next White House standard-bearer. Harris, just entering her 12th month as a senator, has remained among the top three candidates since the market opened Aug. 30.
The trio of other front-runners Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and former Vice President Joe Biden are no surprise given their well-established national followings.
It's the 53-year-old Harris who has rocketed up the chain of fresh possibilities this year, as she's been feted by elite donors, fawned over by the Democratic establishment and elevated by a smitten national press corps.
As the cultural and ideological antidote to the current president, her ascension was almost inevitable. But it's also been in motion for years.
Ever since she stepped into the public arena, Harris has been bathed in great expectations. When he was president of NBC Universal, CNN's Jeff Zucker broke his policy of supporting candidates and introduced her to New York power players as "important for the entire country."
Former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa predicted in August that "she's going to be knocking on doors in Iowa." In defending her against liberal critics in September, Hillary Clinton singled Harris out as one of her "favorite Democrats." Later that month, Gwainevere Catchings Hess, president of The Black Women's Agenda, introduced Harris at a luncheon as "the unsilenced, the uncensored, the unstoppable."

She's a commie, but she is Satan's chosen...heehee.
Another first term senator?
After obozo and HilLIARy, The Ds need to nominate someone credible if they want to have even a ghost of a chance. This one aint it
I thought Hillary was inevitable.
She’ll never win outside of California. Her opponents just have to bring up Kate Steinle every single time.
If they take down Trump, all bets are off...
I think they have 2 or 3 Dossiers on her ready to go ,LOL
Take a good look at that face. She is the One to represent the side of evil in 2020.
Kamala Harris is NOT eligible to run for President.
She pole danced to the top of the political spectrum on Willie Brown’s lap.
Eggsactly. That’s the Demo formula.
Obama broke that glass ceiling. She just has to waltz through it.
Indian-Jamaican-American.
Not a natural born citizen.
Kamala Harris is NOT eligible to run for President

She has the support of the hard Left. She is a goddess to them.
Do tell us why not. And please remove your tin-foil hat before doing so.
gagging at the thought...please no.
You’re a birther. ;-)
Will Brown is 83. I’m guessing he’ll be gone by the time she’s there.
Yet another reason to promote Calexit.
