Why did Kamala Harris take a pass on running for governor in California? It's not because she's aiming at another presidential run in 2028, Harris told Stephen Colbert. It's because she finally lost an election.
No, seriously. "I don't want to back into the system," she explains, "because the system is broken." And if you think that's absurd, Colbert manages to top it: Ahem. If anyone has reason for gratitude toward "the system," it's Harris. She is and has always been an intellectual lightweight who counted on "the system" to keep her in office. It was the Democrat establishment that ensured she kept winning

No, woman. Willie Brown broke you. You willingly served under his staff as his marriage dissolved. You (blank)ed your way to the vice presidency with absolutely no qualifications, no quantifiable intelligence. Your nasal voice is all you've got going for yourself. You need to talk MORE through your nose. Louder!

She broke herself on him, like a 128 lb back thinking they can take a 295 lb linebacker head on. Result: inevitable.

There is nothing there to break. She was never worth the effort to try and break her.

She never would have been in a position to be “broken” by Trump, if the people who cheated her into office in the first place hadn’t finally been broken by him, the “stupid”, “deplorable” American voters, and most thankfully, prayerfully and providentially, by the grace of Almighty God in the 2025 election.

She is not broken. Willie Brown needed her as San Francisco DA rather than the tough guy who was running so that Willie's crooked pal would not end up in the slammer. Kamala the Politician was born. He was hot stuff in CA so her ascendancy took her to AG. Biden needed a black woman for his VP ca ndidate and voila! Not too black and not smarter than he. Perfect. She began saying a system was broken when she was made border czar or whatever (she later denied that after the border got worse). First she vowed to get the root and went to throw taxpayer money around Cetral America. They she relied on that old Dem chestnut: The immigration system is broken. It wasn't. So "broken" is a word she relies on. If Colbert had asked her to explain, she'd have gone silent and at some point accused him of breaking her.
She didn't run because Willie Brown told her she'd never make it through the primary when some tough Dem females are expected to run. So she said Trump broke her.

Surely she doesn't really believe that Trump and the "system" was why she lost. If she does, she is more stupid than I thought. She was a terrible and unappealing candidate, and had presided with Joe over one of the most damaging four years in over a hundred years. The disturbing thing to me is not that she lost, but that so many people actually voted for her. We should all thank the Lord above that DJT turned his head at just the right moment.

And the system was not broken when she rose to be the AG of CA, due to her association Willie Brown?

Here's the kicker .... she will not waste her leadership qualities on we lowlife citizens. OT have you heard that the Moron only got a $10 million up front payment on his upcoming book? I wonder who will write it and I know it will be a knee slapper. If that isn't a payoff from somewhere, I don't know what is.

Did #9 really mean Kamala got $10 million upfront for her word salad book? $10 is more what it is worth. What is actually broken is a system where someone so dumb and unqualified can make that kind of money just because of DEI.

Like elections, climate change, immigration, international trade, you name it: it's not someone else's' fault but the system is broken. Just like Harris is.

#10, it’s been reported that Pedo Joe got a paltry $10m for his “memoirs”. Harris will get a lot less.

I'm not sure that Trump "broke" Kamala. She was a mess as VP when Trump was busy in court and a second term was thought to be a pipe dream. She carried her "brokenness" into her Presidential campaign. She wasn't even successful at being "Joyful". All Trump did was point out her flaws. He didn't have to make anything up or exaggerate because the reality about Kamala was bad enough and the electorate was already aware of her failings. Trump simply kept the focus on how incompetent she is. She crumbled under the weight of her inability to accomplish anything.
Colbert and others who suffer from TDS blame Trump for their own ugliness and bad actions. Trump simply holds up a mirror to them.

I think Biden got #10k upfront for his memoirs. Weren't jhey neing written by the guy to whom Zhou gave access to the top secret files he'd stashed in his garage in Wilmington?

No, FJB got $10 Million. He needs the money. The autopen will be his ghost writer, so he can save on salary.
Kamala Sutra is also getting $10 Million. I wonder what kind of dressing she will put on her word salad.

The system isn't as "broken" as you are inept, as an attorney, a Senator, a VP, and you couldn't run a campaign worth spit, even when the nomination was given to you.

Funny, when Democrats loose it’s always the system that is broken. It’s never their fault.

Ah, Sugar, you were broken long before Trump. Your career was built lying on your back, you were hated as Biden's VP because you assumed a competence and popularity that you did not possess and your "run" for the presidency was nothing but a clown show but you did give us the best president in history so, for that we thank you. Now go away.

Same old story.
I didn't get what I want, so there is a problem with the system.
Go buy a mirror, Kamala.

She says the "System is Broken". Interesting excuse. Has it ever occurred to her that she is running a close second to "The Village Idiot" and that is why she wasn't elected?

I hate to agree with Kamala Lala but she is correct-- the "system" IS broken.
Too many dead persons who have not been cleaned off of voter rolls. Too many people who have moved to other states and no longer having residence in states they moved from. Vote harvesting. Payola for votes with "walking around money". Updates in "software' with malware to change votes from one candidate to another. STOPPING the counting of votes over night for no good reason so in the morning the votes change dramatically. Fake addresses for hundreds of people living on vacant lots of all in one building at the exact same apartment number, taking in vote by mail ballots for months before election day, taking in mail in ballot for two weeks after the election so results can be turned upside down so winners become losers.... especially in Taxifornia....
But she wasn't talking about that-- when the "system" works, it prevents brain-dead nitwits like HER from winning elections.
These are all reasons why Wackofornia's system is "broken" and she cannot win in a truly "fair" election, even in her home state!

Trump didn't break Harris. She was already broken, From what I have seen of her she can't have an intelligent conversation much less a debate with anyone. If she wants to whine about the whole fiasco she should direct her issues with the party that pushed her into that embarrassing situation.
