Imagine a combination of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, and you've got Kamala Harris, the current seat-warming senator from California who, like Obama, is using the World's Greatest Deliberative Body as a resume-puncher before swiftly moving on to bigger things: the 2020 Democrat presidential nomination. Even as a nobody senator, she's been the subject of dozens, perhaps scores of speculative stories about her future, so now -- lest they build her up too quickly -- Politico and other Democrat cheerleaders are cautioning her to get her ducks in order before heading out on the hustings:
Kamala Harris has been called “the female Barack Obama.” She’s built a national following with her outspoken criticism of Donald Trump and prolific fundraising for fellow Democrats. But the California senator’s rapid rise — she’s just 15 months into her first term — has created an awkward issue: Even as progressives tout her as one of the top 2020 contenders, Harris remains something of a mystery back home.
Her approval ratings are solid, but not stratospheric. And 28 percent of California voters say they don’t know or have no opinion about Harris, according to a recent Morning Consult poll — placing her in the bottom 10 of name recognition among U.S. senators in their home states. A Berkeley IGS Poll in September found California voters — by a more than 2-to-1 margin, 49 percent to 22 percent — would rather Harris stay in the Senate than run for president in 2020.
That disconnect could be a problem with California preparing to host an early presidential primary just after Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina. “There’s an old saying: ‘You’ve really got to secure your base before you start wandering off to do other things,”

Once it been done, the voters have seen it before
LOL, she aint got a chance in hell (against illary’s what, 3rd try?-)!
She’s not eligible, although her party will certify that she is.
All she needs is a trip to South Africa to join the attack on white people and the nomination is hers... :-(
There. You have the Democrats party platform in 2020.
The American people.
Harris is the sleeping Evil Giant in the Democrat arsenal. She is a horrible person but should be feared by all as she will have a false appeal that will carry the Mainstream media and the Liberal left. Her media persona will mask a super liberal evil person. Fear her as she will be formidable.
Jamaican citizen father, Indian citizen mother, American birth = THREE nationalities.
Naturally could not be a natural born citizen.
Never underestimate an nation’s whose population is 96% government “schooled”.
Ineligible.
abd she is a dedicated misanthropist!
Somehow I don’t see this happening.
Born in the USA but parents were not citizens?
RE: Somehow I don’t see this happening.
Anybody foresaw a President Obama when it was still 2005?
Have her struck off the ballots in red states as not eligible.
RE: Born in the USA but parents were not citizens?
With the courts that we have, the term “Natural Born” has already lost its meaning. SHE WILL QUALIFY.
Obama was seen as ‘ineligable’ too, by quite a few people.
And look what happened!
Dems are banking on meek mannered RINOs not making a fuss.
“For the good of the nation” don’tcha know.
