Kamala Harris entered the presidential race with impressive credentials -- a popular black woman with an inspiring story who hailed from a large Democratic state and drew accolades for her fiery questioning of President Donald Trump’s nominees.
Yet despite a shot of adrenaline after confronting front-runner Joe Biden in the first debate, she has failed to catch fire with Democratic voters who are torn between a nostalgic fondness for Biden and a revolutionary desire for Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren.
Harris’s attempt to replicate her feat in the second debate backfired among Democrats who say she went too negative on Biden.

This tired old harridan has not caught fire for a long, long time. She has only one script - ugly - and one tone - hectoringly shrill.

Popular black woman? Au contraire, she is far too obnoxious for most people. Otherwise, she would do a lot better in the polls.

No record of doing anything in her life. Elevated by Willie Brown as his girlfriend. She is an Indian-Bahamian, not black. She has no program for America. Her presentation is blah and negative. Americans do not want or need California stupid! That's enough.

True, #1, although I have seen her try to act warm and charming.
She might be a bit more successful at that than Hillary was. Which is not saying much.

Because her personality is humorless and mean.

This woman has talents found on her back when she slept her way into politics with the legendary mayor of San Francisco. She's also a nasty, vile, vituperative, supercilious, mean pig of a person who thinks she can walk on water at will. Watching that hair tossing hollow act she puts on is enough to make a saint puke.

Kamala Harris rose in California politics because of a sort of quid pro quo arrangement with Willie Brown. That seems to her area of expertise. The law and politics not so much. On her own, and without Brown’s paving the way for her, she’ll go nowhere. Slept her way to top of California politics. Who is she going to do to rise to the top nationally?

Respectable Americans know why Kamala Harris is such a loser.
The true story of how Harris came to power under Willie Brown's "tutelage" is well known.

That whole story about bussing and desegregating was pure baloney. Almost as big a whopper as some of Biden's stories. And her dramatic telling of the story was just as phony.

I'm not counting her out. She is black, female, very liberal, and has a bad attitude. If (when?) Biden falters she will have a great shot at the nomination.

Her diabolical performance during the Kavanaugh hearing leaves her morally unqualified to even hold office. She is cold and calculating and incredibly smug. Horrible woman.

In any case, don't throw water on her. She could melt.

If you consider her 'way' to the top impressive credentials I guess that means every prostitute that gives away freebees the same, I guess you're right.

I’m still waiting for a debate “moderator” to ask her this simple question: “Senator Harris, what advice would you give to young women seeking to advance their careers in politics?”

She was elected to the Senate because California's screwball primary system had her running against the really stupid Sanchez woman, also a Democrat, in the election.

Not a word in the article about Tulsi Gabbard. That says everything you need to know about the writer.

1. She is as much black as Warren is Native American.
2. She is mean spirited and it shows.
3. She is ugly and her mama dresses her funny.

She is not black, but just like Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke is OK with letting people think he is Hispanic, she is OK with letting people think she is black. Her father is from Jamaica, her mother is from India. She is not black, but she sure wants you to think she is as it helps her political ambitions. Phony is what she is, not to mention repulsive, repugnant and disgusting after watching the Kavanaugh hearings.
