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

Soros tool Kamala Harris.
She refused to defend the state law on Capital Punishment when she was our Atty. Gen. in California.
So she cherry picks which laws to honor and which to ignore because they are no longer ‘fashionable’ with her biggest donors.
I’ve heard that kamala can be effective in purging intestinal worms.
Both parties have a problem with the concept of natural born citizen.
They spent 30 years confusing people as to its meaning.
The ran two consecutive rigged elections with Designated Losers to set the precedent.
And Asian.
It’s usually an exercise in futility at this point in any Presidential race to try to predict the winner of either party’s nomination. The Witch was the presumptive winner of the DemonRat 2008 and Jebbie was the same for the Pubbies in 2016. ‘Nuff said.
“reproductive rights”...i.e killing the innocent in the most barbaric way.
Funny how so many of these men who are for “women’s reproductive rights” were sexually assaulting women.
I’ve always seen the pro-abortion movement as ultimately nothing more than a convenience for men. Too many stupid women are willing to go along. Problem is the woman has to live with herself (if she has a conscience) afterwards but most of them don’t think of that in the moment.
Her biggest donors probably love PLANNED PARENTHOOD for exterminating minority populations...Oh,that’s right...Kamala likes getting rid of blacks ,too.
She is also a product of Harry Reid.
Lionized? More like a hyena in a tight skirt..
King Willie Brown’s tallywhacker rider Cameldung Harris ?
Lololol!!!
This one is even worse then Cruz....Neither one of her parents were born in America at all. If they nominate her, the Supreme Court will have to step in or our country is worse off then I thought.
Lee, yes you are on FreeRepublic but I don’t think it is a sin to acknowledge an American President’s humanity even one with such woefully misguided policies. Kamala is likable as well, poses with Ted Cruz in photos over lost baseball bet on the World Series and she works with Rand Paul on prison reform.
Should she be president? NOPE! But its okay to admit she is likable. (And attractive may I add.)
Now if only liberals would extend a modicum of decency and respect for Trump...
Todays colleges kids would say that would be unfair to people born in C-section
Two Non Citizen Parents at the time of her Birth already disqualifies her.
Played charm the One Eyed Snake with Married Willy Brown and ended up with a cushy well paying CA State Job for milking it.
If she Runs I hope the GOP will let me write the Opposition Commercials. Never mind, the GOP would probably support her over President Trump.
brags about all the criminals she has put away
= = =
Pretty sure she refused to sanction a Kern County DA for misrepresenting/falsifying the (interpreted) testimony of a latino, which resulted in his conviction.
The Rastafarian - Cherokee ticket.
Nope, there are too many people who will vote for the Democrat no matter what. They think the Democrat will give them other people’s money, and they’re right. Socialism and communism will always appeal to stupid, covetous people.
Lionizing? Does that mean she gets eaten by lions?
