Kamala Harris was written off as a possible vice presidential pick for Joe Biden last year after a cutting debate performance where she seemed to suggest he was racially insensitive.

Now, Harris is not only in top contention, but Biden aides, surrogates and major donors see her as the best fit at the onset of the process - at least on paper - to join him atop the Democratic ticket.

Biden’s campaign has formally started vetting a group of prospects that includes roughly a dozen women. But in interviews, more than two dozen Democrats, including advisers, allies and donors aligned with Biden, returned to Harris as an early frontrunner. Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, the favorite among progressives, was also seen as rising above the pack.

Biden and his family were stung by the June debate exchange over his record on school busing. The attack was particularly hurtful because of Harris’ bond with Biden’s late son Beau, also a one-time state attorney general.

The majority of Dem voters lack intelligence, too. They will be told by the media and talk shows that her uniqueness (breaking glass ceilings) is what matters. The Dems nominated the least qualified person in America’s rich history in Hillary Clinton and look how many votes she received.

Not very impressed by Harris or Warren. Not sure if most people find either one, very likeable or qualified for higher office.

If you need to strip the Chrome off a Trailer Hitch, she’s your Gal.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

“”What happened to Frau Whitmer the insane?””

Are we sure “it’s” not transgender? Sure looks like it to me...like a twin to Bruce Jenner or whatever HER name is.
