SACKS: Kamala Harris’ Top Obstacle To Winning The Democratic Nomination? California Democrats

Candidates from large states enjoy a big advantage in presidential elections, and Sen. Kamala Harris is the only major candidate from America’s largest, wealthiest state. Yet she is running in a disappointing fourth-place in California polls. Why?

It’s not a good time to be a law-and-order Democrat in California. There is a backlash against mass incarceration and the policies that led to it — a sentiment which imperils Harris’ campaign.

One thing the article doesn't take into account is the Cal Establishment "superdelegates" who may want Kamala, no matter what the peasants want. Hillary counted on them in the 2016 primaries.

*** Yes I agree, polls are witch doctor voodoo. A new UC Berkeley-Los Angeles Times poll found Biden leading with 22% of likely Democratic primary voters; followed by Warren and Sanders, who are at 18% and 17%, respectively. Harris (13%)

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

That poll is Cal. only

[faithhopecharity]

she’s ineligible anyway and she knows it (or else she wouldn’t have hidden the info about it from her website, bio)

[butlerweave]

She better buy more Knee pads ,LOL

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

That might convince the superdelegates. The author didn’t take that into account. If she trails Biden by 9% in Cal, how many “favors” would it take to catch up?

As I’ve noted here before, my dispatch behind enemy line: it’s not as if she’s a beloved former governor or scion of some political family, or even just known for being a nice person. Among the rat drones she doesn’t have any particular cachet on account of being from here. Most might be able to name the Governor, but the other constitutional officers like Attorney General just aren’t on their dim radar screens. She’s done nothing to get any favorite daughter boost. I really think it’s as simple as that

So it is a commentary.

And your point is?

That it is a commentary, not news. but there isn’t much difference. In a local newspaper, at least the opinion page is identified as such to set the context.

law and order candidate

As Bill Clinton would say, it depends upon what the meaning of "law and order" is. Kamala was not going to crack down on Planned Parenthood, even if Cal. had such a law.

[sanjuanbob]

So she was responsible for breaking up families in California.

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

That’s why I posted it under “editorial.” The article contains some hard facts, like incarceration numbers. But the Daily Caller displays OPINION right at the top of the article, which refers to the its main claim, which is that Cal. Dems are a major problem for Kamala.

[ridesthemiles]

Kamala isn’t eligible to be President or any job that can succeed President.

IMO, she is committing election FRAUD by taking as much as a single dollar to run for a position she CAN NOT hold.

[PeterPrinciple]

so what is your point?

[CdMGuy]

Her biggest impediment can be summed up in two words: blow jobs. Right Willie?

Different rules this time. Superdelegates don’t vote on the first ballot this time (or rather, they only vote on the first ballot if one candidate has a majority of pledged delegates). The result is that they only matter if no candidate has a majority of delegates.

[Joe Boucher]

Californians know she used her vagina to get ahead.
So what’s worse, claiming a false heritage, or being a whore?

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

so what is your point?

That I posted it in the most appropriate sidebar I could find. Some of your posts emphasized the fact that this article is mostly an opinion piece. I am aware of that. "Opinion" is a synonym of "editorial."
