A new national CNN poll of the 2020 Democratic primary has some pretty brutal numbers for Kamala Harris. When CNN last polled the presidential race shortly after the first Democratic debate in June, Harris was on Joe Biden’s heels, trailing just 17 percent to 22 percent. But according to the latest survey by CNN, conducted August 15 to 18, Biden has rebounded to 29 percent, while Harris has dropped all the way down to 5 percent, tied for fourth place with South Bend mayor Pete Buttigieg.
What went wrong for Harris?
The second Democratic debate was a clear defeat for the California senator, but it’s now also obvious

Kamela's BS from the first debate regarding busing caught up with her. She was also caught pandering to blacks which turns off everyone else. The voting public doesn't like liars. She's on the same level as Cory Booker now. They both made the same mistakes.

Maybe the voters aren't impressed by the lessons she learned at Willie Brown's knees.

Dumb as a stump and as rotten and corrupt as they come. Still, she's tied with the Buttster, so that's something.

recently a post said "she slept her way to the top" -- maybe it should have said "bottom"?

The second debate exposed her as a poseur who can't take a punch.

One wonders when the media will finally decide who their candidate is.

Not to mention the fact that she is terminally unlikable. Every clip of her I've seen pictures her as angry and vindictive!

Harris makes Hillary look warm and cuddly. And Hillary makes a rattlesnake look like a warm puppy! Talk about being unlikable.

The Left continually champions unlikable dishonest people who have built their careers by being opportunists and who have no discernible principles save getting themselves immense political power and the wealth that always accompanies such power.

#11 is right. Terminally unlikeable.
I call Kamala "Hillary Redux." Angry, shrill, hectoring, insincere; and wears pantsuits too much.
We often hear from political analysts that most voters don't "vote on the issues": It's really likability that is critical to winning nationally.

"Both debates revealed she has serious weaknesses on matters of substance."
This could be said for the all the candidates and even the whole party. When you build on sand and the tide comes in, the foundation gets washed away. None of these smurfs have serious and substantial records. They have all advanced based on who they know and the positions that they have held rather than their accomplishments. The same was true of Hillary. People asked, "What has she accomplished?" and the response would be a list of job titles she held. She never really DID much for the Country. LOTS and LOTS for herself but not for anyone else.
All these candidates are going to bounce up and down in the polls. The only reason Biden is holding at the top has little to do with Biden. He is the only "not insane Leftist" in the group although he is a dope. He is trying hard to be a Leftist at times but his support is based on name recognition and not being completely crazy.

The problem with this analysis is that nobody watched the "debates". #11 is correct--she is not a nice person and that is easily seen.

She's not politically savvy and is not accustomed to being held accountable for her statements. I guess you don't have to be to win in the most populous state - just need a 'D' next to your name.

When you have the reputation of being a two-faced lying hypocrite, people will not consider you fit to be President.

Since democrats want to drag out all the personal information and skeletons in their opponents past, why don't we demand to know how many taxpayer-funded abortions Harris has had, and who were the co-conspirators? Lets see just how far democrats are willing to go on looking into people's past lives!

In 1978, Henry Ford II fired his top executive at Ford, Lee Iacocca.
Reporters, puzzled by the termination of a man who created arguably the best car ever, theFord Mustang, asked Ford why he fired Iococca.
Ford's answer was succinct. "I just don't like him."
Kamala Sutra, in a way, falls into that category, although her only earned success was coitus with Willie Brown.

Don't waste time and bandwidth paying ANY attention to this Midget Clown Circus for another 12 moths or so. Until then, it is just noise, and entirely a waste of time and irrelevant.
Ignore them.

I hope Kama Sutra is truly down. She is the most dangerous candidate for us as a female Obama. She is a sour person but she is beloved by the Hollywood establishment. We better make sure Willie Brown sticks to her as she is very dangerous and we cannot trust anything from the discredited National Review.

Just a guess, but I'd bet that there's an element of the voting public (men and women) that have no use for someone who slept her way to success. They'll never admit it, but it is there.

Harris was CNN’s candidate from Day One. I don’t know why except as another poster noted, she’s a female Obama.

Very nasty piece of work, even the leftist and liberal Democrats who have been paying attention know that. California should have been able to have come up with a much more pleasant US Senator.
