Why Kamala Harris Hasn’t Caught Fire in the Democratic 2020 Race

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 ...

“Impressive credentials” according to who? “Popular” according to who?

Obviously she does not have good credentials and she’s not popular because she’s an angry sanctimonious beyotch.

The Rat media propped her up, but they can only do so much. She can’t hide who she really is forwever.

And what do we call a "political opportunist"?
dem·a·gogue
noun
A political leader who seeks support by appealing to the desires and prejudices of ordinary people rather than by using rational argument. "a gifted demagogue with particular skill in manipulating the press"

[Secret Agent Man]

Maybe people are remembering what it was like under an ineligible black president.

[Secret Agent Man]

Well, not exactly true.

But so far it hasn’t worked for presidents because men don’t sleep their way to the top.

[j.havenfarm]

You forgot her annoying voice and gratuitously non-stop harshly confrontational demeanor

[CptnObvious]

Harris got caught in the, moving hard to the Left, DemocRATic Party firing squad. She had to obey California law as a prosecutor and that meant going after drug offenses as well as dealers at the time. The state doesn't go after drug offenses the same way, but according to the party, SHE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN and NOT ENFORCED THE LAW.

Hence she got caught in the circular firing squad. AND THEY ALL CAN BE CAUGHT WITH THEIR PAST AS THE PARTY HAS MOVED THAT FAR LEFT.

[Vigilanteman]

There is a very low standard to get elected U.S. Senator in a lot of states these days. Some are borderline morons or even imbeciles. I'm thinking of people like Patty Murray or Bob Casey, Jr.

Even the worst governors have to do something more than these nitwits.

[forgotten man]

Stop repeating the canard that Kamala Harris “slept” with Willie Brown. She did it in the back seat of his limousine.

[Political Junkie Too]

Senators make lousy Presidents, and even more so in today’s political world.

The Senate doesn't train someone to make tough decisions, it trains someone to compromise away tough decisions.

We need a President who knows how to make tough decisions.

[right way right]

She’s not “clean and articulate” enough.

Dems are just racist globalist pigs who need a useful idiot who will baffle the masses with their BS.

I thought she was it, but now it don’t no mo seem happening.

[Political Junkie Too]

black woman with an inspiring story
Yup--slept her way to the top. I am so inspired by her story! ;-)

At least drugs weren't involved...

No, wait...

Black? She has straight hair and lighter skin than me, and I’m lily white. Her daddy is Jamaican, her mama Indian. She isn’t even a natural born citizen, although that ship may have sailed unless republican.

[Old Yeller]

Not enough foreplay.

[Jane Austen]

Kamal is NOT black and
she is NOT a NBC.

[OrioleFan]

Wow! Democrat voters sure do set the bar low with all this gaggle of candidates. Their only accomplishments appear to be getting elected in safe seats.

[Fresh Wind]

She’s a nasty scowling unlikable b****. People react badly to that.

[mywholebodyisaweapon]

The reason Kamala hasn’t caught fire is

so much c*%k, so little time.

[dfwgator]

One thing black people don’t like is a poser, and Kamala is a poser.

[immadashell]

…because she is annoying and unlikable…

Evidently, Hillary doesn’t have a lock on this personality trait.

[Hostage]

Senator Hotness?

Senator Skank is more like it.
