The press is extolling California Senator Kamala Harris as the Next Big Thing on the U.S. political scene in assorted reports. They're calling her inevitable and the next Barack Obama.
Oh, spare us.
The latest and worst version of this Hollywood-grade build-up comes from U.S. News & World Report, in a big piece titled "The Inevitability of Kamala Harris," carrying faint echos of the progressive claims of the "inevitability" of their version of "progress."
She may well be the person the Democrats pick as their nominee for president, but she's hardly a shoe-in for the presidency, particularly in the age of Trump.
She's billed as someone young and fresh in a party dominated by gerontocrats, but her act is actually pretty old.
What does she offer for starters?
She's a woman. And she's black.
"With an Indian mother and a Jamaican father, Harris strikes some observers as a California version of Barack Obama," the Los Angeles Times wrote in October 2004, during Harris' first year of elected office and a month before Obama was elected to the U.S. Senate.
(U.S. News carries on several paragraphs dwelling on this detail.)
Just empty identity politics as a substitute for ideas, on the grounds that she isn't an individual, but someone who 'represents.' That logic presumptuously assumes that all women and black people all have the exact same interests. We all want the same abortion and affirmative action privileges, so the thinking goes. And a woman who happens to be black will, robotlike, follow that template precisely and all will be well. Not a word out there about differing interests, such as the right to not have to finance abortions, or the problem of seeing African and Caribbean immigrants and their children take all the affirmative action slots

If that was the ticket and it won, it would for sure be the end of the USA.
Doh! Sorry, not kaslin.
Not enough dead bodies
Kamala is a nasty pampered unlikable diva, much like Kankles. If Shaquita is the Rat nominee, Trump will destroy her. It will be fun to watch.
The dems seem to have a problem with the concept of natural born citizen. Yes, I went there.
“”have Obama claim hes female and is a new person and run him again.””
Great idea. Since the dems are so in favor of transgender, he can get up some morning and declare himself a woman and it will be done!
“She’s a woman. And she’s black.”
She’s just another exotic freak in the democrat line up. They just throw it at the wall and see what sticks. Unfortunately, Obama stuck so I suppose this multi colored sewer eel could too.
I think "lionizing" her is a great idea!
(What time do they get fed?)
nobama is the angry black man. Harris is the angry black woman.
Personally, I’ve had enough of this.
as a resident of California, I’ve seen none of what Kamala boasts about that she has done for the state. On her bio, she brags about all the criminals she has put away and how she has changed the landscape for women in the state. The irony of this is, Christine Pelosi just dress the State Legislature and accused them of hiding sexual assaults within the legislature. And the Weinstein Sex scandal just surfaced in California, after she left being a DA. So, really, during her years here the sexual assaults were suppressed. Women suffered here when she was the AG. So, in retrospect, women can prepare to suffer under her if she became president. She also wants to disarm all Americans, strip them of their rights to own a weapon. She might be worse than Eric Holder was, who was a dictator of an OG. Nope, can’t see her above anything that she has achieved right now
Ulsterman warned us about her...
Well you certainly have more respect for the low information voters than I do.
Obama was sold as “cool” and he was slick with the TelePrompTer speeches that he probably never wrote.
I agree this chick hopefully can’t keep up a facade for long. And she has been handed every position she’s had; she may be even more lazy than Obama. Yet there she is in the Senate.
They’re calling her inevitable and the next Barack Obama

They want to make sure they eliminate the natural born citizen requirement.
Never had a job outside of government.
If Barack actually accomplished anything, this might mean something.
Kamala Harris is an old-fashioned feminist; she slept her way to the top by being Willie Brown’s Mattress Bunny. Now she is a Lion? Even Disney would want that story-line improved.
She’s a lot younger that Hillary, so should have no trouble at all campaigning in all 57 states.
