In early November, a few days after Senator Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign announced widespread layoffs and an intensified focus on Iowa, her senior aides gathered for a staff meeting at their Baltimore headquarters and pelted the campaign manager, Juan Rodriguez, with questions.

What exactly was Ms. Harris’s new strategy? How much money and manpower could they put into Iowa? What would their presence be like in other early voting states?

[C19fan]

She had an easy ride up the greasy pole of California politics with the help of her lover Willie Brown. Quite a different thing being in a competitive race.

[boycott]

She’s a nutcase and she sounds like she’s drunk all the time.

[DIRTYSECRET]

An angry black woman. What’s there to know?

[boycott]

She was also more of a groper than Joe Biden ever was.

[bk1000]

She is nasty and most unlikable. I am surprised she made it as far as she has.

[SERKIT]

She has perfected her own version of the “Hillary Cackle”. Very off-putting.

Sigh. In modern politics, at least on the Democrat side, they ask the campaign manager, rather than the candidate, what is the strategy.

[Kickass Conservative]

She could come out as a Lesbian blaming Wille Brown’s Willie for her conversion, that might help.

Kamaltoe / Buttplug 2020.

[Wm F Buckley Republican]

They are all nutcases. Gabbard may have some sanity but she’s the only one.

[goldstategop]

She’s a tanned version of Kirsten Gillibrand whom no one has missed.

Harris is angry, shrill and condescending. All the things you don’t want in a President.

She’s Barack Obama without them charm.

[GSWarrior]

There is no there there.

[NFHale]

I’ll give the sequence of events for unraveling:

1. She opened her mouth.
2. She spoke.
3. People realized the lights were barely on and the only one home was a vacuous, hateful AA hire.

Boom...

[McBuff]

She never recovered from the beat-down administered by this lady

[upchuck]

Harris: a politician with star power who was compared to President Obama even before Californians elected her to the Senate in 2016.

Star power? Compared to nobama?

NYT is drunk again.

[Ann Archy]

She was Willie Brown’s CHEW TOY.

[DOC44]

“She opened her mouth.”

and blew it

[jjotto]

I’ve seen her up close a couple times in Iowa. She’s unattractive in person and immediately projects an unlikeable personality. She might do well as a media candidate in big states, but she’s an immediate fail in retail politics where meeting voters face to face is required.

"In modern politics, at least on the Democrat side, they ask the campaign manager, rather than the candidate, what is the strategy."

Excellent observation. The candidate is vulnerable for issues that go bad. The manager can easily be thrown to the back of the bus.

[luv2ski]

The MSM is shocked by this. She checks so many boxes: Indian, Jamaican, Black, female, liberal...! “How is it possible she didn’t succeed?”

[ealgeone]

No one to sleep her to the top with.
