Kamala Harris’s First Campaign. A few months ago, Democrats scorned her for her botched presidential run.
Wall Street Journal ^ | August 13, 2020 | Kimberley A. Strassel

Joe Biden sure knows how to pick ’em. The Democratic nominee had the opportunity to name a competent female running mate, one who would excite his base and reassure undecided voters. He instead chose California Sen. Kamala Harris, the definition of political mediocrity.

Don’t take Donald Trump’s word for it. Take the left’s—at least a few months ago, when it had no stake in creating a legend. The media and Democrats this week can’t roll out enough praise for the veep pick: She’s brilliant, savvy, seasoned, vetted, smooth, forceful, appealing, authentic, powerful, a fighter. This is the same woman the media and Democrats rightly skewered in 2019 for running one of the most bungled and disorganized presidential campaigns this cycle.

In that run, Ms. Harris had about 50 seconds of fame—from a June 2019 debate in which she accused Mr. Biden of being too friendly to racists. Her “That little girl was me” moment and other practiced phrases led to a “Saturday Night Live” impersonation that, as SFGate noted, “mocks” the candidate for her “ ‘viral moments’ desperation.” A New York Times story about how her campaign “unraveled” described one such quest for a memorable catchphrase, noting that her aides had become “given to gallows humor about just how many slogans and one-liners she has cycled through.”

If commentators are now struggling to define Ms. Harris, it’s because she offers little that is truly defining. The party establishment quickly closed ranks around her 2016 Senate race, allowing her to run a standard liberal campaign that the Los Angeles Times described as “carefully orchestrated” and “overly cautious and scripted.” In her 3½ Senate years, she’s done little by way of legislation, preferring to showboat at hearings.

As far as I can tell, she has no children (has stepchildren tho) and has only been married since 2014 to Doug Emhoff, a Jewish lawyer in LA.

That was then, this is now. The DNC chose her to run on the Biden ballot.

This: Many Americans will also remember her leading role in the character assassination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, matched only in political theater by Cory “Spartacus” Booker. This has the potential to turn off some suburban and independent voters. Even if they don’t rush into Mr. Trump’s arms; they may simply not vote.

When I think of Harris I think of the Kavanaugh hearings and how appalling she acted toward him and tried to destroy him. I think of his family. I can't see why ANY man would vote for Harris as VP. She was just awful. Mean and nasty.

May be she and Biden are sacrificial lambs.

Maybe the dems polling shows that there is no way Trump can lose, so they nominated two people who have no future political careers to worry about and will jut let them lose.

Mondale redux, perhaps.
