Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.) said in a recent piece profiling her Democratic colleague Sen. Kamala Harris (Calif.) that it is "too early" to tell whether the potential 2020 candidate would make a good president.
Feinstein's remarks came in a Politico piece published Thursday and titled, "Kamala Harris keeps 'em guessing." The piece reflects on Harris' first year in the Senate and how she has become a rising star in the Democratic party, describing the senator as a "serious-minded lawmaker" and as someone who "bones up on policy and can engage on substance."
While the junior senator from California has been floated as a potential 2020 contender since early 2017, Feinstein said it is "too early" for her to say whether her colleague would be a good president. She called Harris her "good friend" and said she would like to see her stick around the Senate because "there’s a certain degree of staying power" required to succeed there.
The profile piece also highlighted Harris' voting record, including a couple of votes that bucked the party leadership. Harris briefly angered Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) last month when she undercut other Democrats looking to strike a deal on immigration.
"She did some damage with her colleagues," said one Democratic senator anonymously.
Despite Feinstein's hesitance to say whether her fellow California lawmaker would be a good president, Harris wants to be part of Feinstein's 2018 reelection campaign and has vowed to support her over a progressive primary challenger.
The New York Times published a similar profile piece on Harris last summer that speculated about the senator's future ambitions. Feinstein was asked at the time about Harris' future as a national figure, prompting her to say Harris "just got here." She added that the junior senator was "on the way to becoming" a good friend.
It’s not too early to say she would suck!
I loath that expression. There are several trite phrases like that one and "expect the unexpected" that remove all intelligence from a discussion. For example do you really think at ANY Democrat party president would be anything but a slow motion disaster for the country?
There’s Natural Born issue just like Obama
I think we’ve already seen part of that movie.
Like all good liberal, Kamala Harris is aging badly.
Kalama’s ex lover and mentor, Willie Brown, was a close supporter of Jim Jones and People’s Temple (Jonestown), and ignored the reports in the media of the abusive conditions J-town members were experiencing in Guyana. If he had paid attention and taken some action, all if not many of the 900+ who died could still be alive.
This is the guy who helped shape Harris’ career.
...the party of radical – in other words nominal islam, pigastinianism, homosexuality, pedophilia, transgenderism and every other form of sexual perversion, outright rape, communism, RINOism, atheism and other anti-God nonsense (as illustrated during their 2012 convention), criminal behavior of all types, black inadequacy, la raza, every other form of maladjusted minority status, murder, thievery, etc....
Oh brother, not again?
Isn’t one Marxist in the WH enough?
[Similar to b o, kamala does, in fact, look presidential. If you cross your eyes while squinting tightly.]
...while having your head stuck up your ass!
FIFY
I’ll take “People who would suck as president” for $400.00, Alex.
Oh ... and did I mention that Harris gets very loud and becomes very nasty when she doesn't get her way? It's clear to me that civility and tolerance (i.e., a willingness to negotiate) are, to Harris, character flaws and signs of weakness.
As is their Amazing Leader, “Sheriff” Israel in Coward County.
Born to two foreign nationals, inherited Jamaican and Indian nationality, not NATURALLY an American.
One is only NATURALLY an American when one is born here of citizen parents and has NO OTHER nationality.
No it isn’t too early. She has zero qualifications and is a far Left whacko female social justice jackass. She’d be a horrifyingly bad president. On the other hand, no Democrat alive would make a good president. I wish there was a way we could sweep them all out to sea without a boat.
No, no it isn’t.
It’s way past time to tell her not to even think about it.
In Ankeny v. Governor, a three-member Indiana Court of Appeals stated,
Based upon the language of Article II, Section 1, Clause 4 and the guidance provided by Wong Kim Ark, we conclude that persons born within the borders of the United States are ‘natural born Citizens’ for Article II, Section 1 purposes, regardless of the citizenship of their parents.
And they were wrong.
The Los Angeles Times would seem to argue Kamala does not meet the requirements.
Think Barky Oblamer on steroids. That's the kind of leader Kamala "the Ugandan Giant" would make.
