Some Democrats are worried about Harris’s political prospects
Washington Post ^ | 02/03/2023

As a longtime leader of the Cobb County Democrats, Jacquelyn Bettadapur has become highly attuned to the factors shaping her party’s fortunes in her home state of Georgia: the rise and fall of Stacey Abrams, Democrats’ unexpected surge in 2020, the enduring influence of Donald Trump.

Now, Bettadapur is worried about the political prospects of the woman positioned to be President Biden’s heir — Vice President Harris.

“People are poised to pounce on anything — any misstep, any gaffe, anything she says — and so she’s probably not getting the benefit of the doubt,” said Bettadapur, who recently stepped down as county party chair. Many Democrats, Bettadapur said, “don’t know enough about what she’s doing” — and, she added, “it doesn’t help that she’s not [that] adept as a communicator.”

Such concerns about Harris’s political strength were repeated often by more than a dozen Democratic leaders in key states interviewed for this story, some speaking on the condition of anonymity to convey candid thoughts. Harris’s tenure has been underwhelming, they said, marked by struggles as a communicator and at times near-invisibility, leaving many rank-and-file Democrats unpersuaded that she has the force, charisma and skill to mount a winning presidential campaign.

OK, so why is the WaPo doing a hit piece on Harris? This article is nothing more than a hard hit.

Could be a pro-active "hit job."

Documents evidencing Kamala Harris ineligibility for VP (and the Presidency) under terms of the Constitution (Natural Born Citizen clause plus the 12th Amendment) available via these links:

In matters involving FJB and “the ‘toe” Democrats should be far more worried about our Republic’s “political prospects”!

Question: How do they get rid of Harris after getting old man Biden to say he wants to spend more time with his family?

Gavin Newsom and Michelle Obama coming.

It also doesn't help that she's dumber than a fence post.

Kamala's problem isn't her ineligibility. It's her unpopularity.

The obvious explanation is that the Dems are in a panic on how to jettison their female heir apparent of color before she splits their “coalition”.

The less obvious possiblity is that the WaPo feels a need to pull out the Biden Insurance Policy (i.e., having an incompetent buffoon as his successor). So are they really worried about Harris bombing in a 2024 run (everyone has always expected that), or are they rallying the Uniparty to shield Biden now (i.e., turn a blind eye to his crimes), lest we wake up with Harris as President in 2023?

Kamala Harris was voted into her office of Vice President on the same ballot as Joe Biden was voted to be President. She is entitled to her position and if she goes so should Biden. If Harris can be gotten rid of then the same thing can happen to others which makes an election unnessary in the first place. Harris and Biden are puppets, strings being pulled by the same masters behind the scenes so it does not matter whether either or both of them are replaced under whatever guise it happens.

That is a good observation. When a major lib outlet criticizes a democrap, its for a internal party reason, usually win the end game meaning power. Not good and honest journalism, not informing the public, but some other dishonest motivation.

“Gavin Newsom and Michelle Obama coming.”

This article is setting thing up for Obama or Newsom. Got to get the others out of the way. I expect a real heavy puff piece on Obama soon.

In a brick and mortar book store the past couple of years there have been more picture books and favorite quotation ones of both Obamas but mainly the heroic, enchanting, charming and lovable icon Michelle. And those Time and Life magazine/books as we wait in line for overpriced groceries. (barf)😝
