The fortunes of candidates in our interminably long presidential primary process can often change rather quickly. Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) had more momentum than any of her opponents coming out of the first round of debates in June. That probably seems like a lifetime ago to her campaign now.
Harris went after the guy at the top in Round 1 and scored a couple of strong blows. Almost all of the favorable post-debate media chatter was about her. Her standout performance was immediately reflected in the polls and it seemed as if she would permanently plant herself among the frontrunners.
Harris's second debate performance could be described as "clunky" at best. She found her record as the attorney general of California under attack and didn't handle it very gracefully. After the debate -- when she shouldn't have been crowing about anything -- Harris referred to herself as a "top-tier candidate" in her dismissal of Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii).

Tulsi Gabbard was the only one worth a damn
ReplyDeletePeople are starting to realize that she's just another political pawn.

ReplyDeleteHer political mentor (cough, cough) Willie Brown said she was top tier or lower tier as the circumstances dictated.
Harris was "outed" and we saw what happened to Gabbard. Harris is a wannabe but has no substance and a coat tail hanger on. She touts her record as a state's AG in California and a prosecutor yet she showed her true colors during the Kavanaugh confirmation hearing. If she was credible she would have demanded corroboration of the allegations and would have seen through the charade. Her reputation was sullied; goodbye Kamala.
