Why Kamala Harris Is Fading in the Democratic Primary
The National Review ^ | August 21, 2019 | John McCormack

Posted on 08/22/2019 5:09:26 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

There’s her backtracking on busing and her waffling on Medicare for All, not to mention her prosecutorial scandals.

A new national CNN poll of the 2020 Democratic primary has some pretty brutal numbers for Kamala Harris. When CNN last polled the presidential race shortly after the first Democratic debate in June, Harris was on Joe Biden’s heels, trailing just 17 percent to 22 percent. But according to the latest survey by CNN, conducted August 15 to 18, Biden has rebounded to 29 percent, while Harris has dropped all the way down to 5 percent, tied for fourth place with South Bend mayor Pete Buttigieg.

What went wrong for Harris?

The second Democratic debate was a clear defeat for the California senator, but it’s now also obvious that her June debate performance was a Pyrrhic victory.

At the first debate, Harris staked everything on attacking Joe Biden’s record on busing. It worked for her that night: Biden’s immediate response was hapless, Harris was widely declared the winner, and she got a significant bump in the polls.

I suppose after O’Bunghole, the whole ‘not constitutionally elible’ argument has gone long by the wayside

Why? Someone is asking why??????? LMAO!!!!
First off, she KNOWS she’s ineligible and that it was gonna come out hard.
Her “heels-up, knew-wide” KamalToe approach to governance is an abhorrence to many. “Willie’s Mattress” in the Oval Office just doesn’t click...well, except for her filthy ilk like Juicy Smollett.

Because she sucks, can't bear public scrutiny, and can't even play the race card, it turns out. She and the Queen of South Bendover are neck and neck, dwindling in Biden's rear view.

Skanka is is extremely unlikable, and her so-called policies and political positions are incomprehensible.

She constantly contradicts herself, she’ll lie about anything to get elected.

I loved it when Tulsi Gabbard shivved Skanka in the second debate.

Name the top ten adjectives that come to mind when you see her pic or hear her name, and that will tell you everything you need to know about her real-world chances in this race.

Nasty is right.
‘Strong woman’ does not mean obnoxious.
Totally unlikable.
A woman friend of mine, a democrat called her a ‘vicious bitch’.
Put a fork in her...

Not with me.
Obama was never eligible and we should NEVER, EVER let that happen again.

I support the #me too movement, but I think there should also be a #you slut movement to out the women who have used their bodies (or mouths) to achieve a status in this world far above their talent or ability.

Kamala sould be the face of that movement.
