Can Kamala Harris break national political jinx?
The Daily Republic ^ | September 1, 2019 | Dan Walters

While California is the nation’s most populous and richest state – and has been for a half-century – it hasn’t wielded the level of national political power one might expect from that status.

New York, still the nation’s financial center, and Texas, California’s chief cultural and economic rival, have been much more successful in projecting themselves nationally.

That’s been especially true in presidential politics.

New Yorker Donald Trump sits in the White House, having defeated New Yorker Hillary Clinton three years ago. The Bush family from Texas won the presidency three times in the past three decades. But California hasn’t produced a viable presidential candidate in nearly four decades.

In recent years, presidential hopefuls from both parties have treated California like a political ATM machine, tapping into the state’s moneyed elite, but only rarely campaigning here.

The state’s politicians, miffed at being ignored, are trying to become important presidential players by advancing the state’s presidential primary from June to March, but while it has generated more face time, it’s still uncertain whether California’s early primary and its rich trove of Democratic convention delegates will play a decisive role.

One who hopes it does is Kamala Harris, California’s first-term junior senator, who is struggling to survive in the cast-of-thousands field of Democratic presidential hopefuls, and is counting on a big win in her home state seven months hence.

“She has a horrible personality and can’t really connect with people”

So basically, a female (?) democrat

Actually, I was going to say she is a slut and a whore, but I like your characterization as well.

Is she really eligible, or does that matter anymore?

Kamala is not legally qualified to be a US President..

Harris’s parents were not U.S. Citizens when Kamala was born. ... Kamala Harris is NOT a ‘natural born Citizen‘ of the USA –

Kamela Harris glorified busing in that debate and Biden didn’t have the wherewithal to explain why he opposed federally mandated busing. It was about young children being torn from their mothers arms and sent to schools far away from their homes. It was elitist and racist because it assumed that poor children and/or black children couldn’t learn in their own neighborhoods. Kamila Harris is proud of her immigrant parents refusing to let their daughter to go to school with her neighbors. The hypocrisy of the Dems is loud and clear with no one calling her out for glorifying racism and elitism.

She’s ineligible to be POTUS.
The “heels-up, knees-wide” KamalToe needs to go back to doing what she does best: being Willie’s Mattress.

I’m not sure I follow the reasoning.

Donald Trump is a unique president and was a unique candidate, coming out of the business world and TV world, not politics. The fact that he is a New Yorker seems incidental to that.

And Hillary is not a real New Yorker.

“New Yorker Hillary Clinton”

LOL. Remember when H claimed to have grown up as a Yankee fan? Good times
That one belongs in her hall of fame of hilarious lies.

It’s all good though. Tulsi Gabbard completely tore Harris a new one and she never recovered.

I find it all the more interesting that Massachusetts, a relatively small state, keeps sending nominees who have been getting trounced since 1960 and JFK’s possibly illegitimate razor win (Dukakis, Kerry, Romney).

Most psychopaths can’t really connect with people, because they believe they are the only real people on Earth. Everyone else is just a thing for them to manipulate.

Because California is a third world shit hole, with massively wealthy politicians, movie producers, and other pedophiles, while the rest of the State is poor illegal aliens who can only help to sell their children to these wealthy politicians and Hollywood producers for sex and child sacrifices.

“Horizontal Harris” started her political career by taking care of Willie Brown (or Brown’s willie). She has no one to help her sleep her way to the top office in the land. She’s an also ran.
