I Slept With Kamala Harris and Helped Launch Her Career. So What?

[QUOTE]Yes, we dated. It was more than 20 years ago. Yes, I may have influenced her career by appointing her to two state commissions when I was Assembly speaker.

Kamala Harris fucked her way up the political ladder. I'm *SHOCKED*!!

She’s running against Trump. Nobody cares.

They gave her the nomination already, R4?

She’ll have several other opponents to face over the next two years before she gets to Trump.

I prefer Warren. She's more progressive, especially on economic issues, and she will appeal to a lot of Midwestern voters.

Kamala has a lot of baggage, unlike Obama who many are comparing her to, so I can't see her winning the nomination or the general election.

She’s winning the nomination.

Kamala will sweep the primaries. Only candidate generating excitement. Beto’s run ended before it started.

We shall see. I don't think it's guaranteed that she will sweep the primaries. Polls already show that Biden, Warren and others polling better against Trump than Harris. But we shall see. It's still early.

In Harris's case, she's a woman who fucked someone with more power and influence than she had to get a leg up a rung or two of the political ladder. So absolutely, in this case, she fucked her way up. To the top is a needless and erroneous exaggeration R10.

They broke up in 1995 before Kamala's career was even seriously getting started. This topic dominated her 2003 run for District Attorney, so it is something she is used to at least.

The appointments thing is silly, Willie Brown ran Bay area politics so he gave everyone their first appointment. Gavin Newsomes career started with appointments by Willie Brown.

The Democrats really need to anticipate this scenario and be ready for the small chance that a different Republican is the nominee.

Hillary’s campaign against Trump is a perfect example of what can happen if you are unprepared for a different opponent than who you were anticipating (Jeb Bush).

Trump is not going to willingly step aside, definitely not because of age.

Now think like Trump. He's been there, done that President-wise. He doesn't need another 4 years, especially at his age, to 'prove' anything to himself. He will graciously bow out.

As long as she takes Trump down, I don't give a shit who she's slept with! Prudes who do care can go crawl up Dotard's fat, loose asshole and drown in his gelatinous, big mac laced fecal matter.

Harris makes a fantastic first impression. But first impressions are often unreliable. Harris isn’t a great speaker especially when speaking extemporaneously. I can easily see her getting tongue tied in a debate with Gillibrand or Warren or ....who else is running?

Gillibrand sounds mousy and whiny. Warren sounds like an old uptight scold.

Harris sounds smooth and confident in comparison. She won’t be getting tongue-tied.

Presidential candidates aren't born, they are made. From JFK to Obama (whose copying of JFK's hand gestures was deliberate), they have campaign managers, political consultants, speech writers, etc. who mold the candidate to the image that will get them elected. Any deficiency is relentlessly coached until it becomes an asset.

Most candidates get better on the campaign trail. Both Obama and Hillary got better when they debated each other many times.

Let me make a correction: Biden and Sanders are polling better than Harris in a 2020 matchup against Trump. Warren and Harris are polling around the same.

The good news is all of the 2020 possible Democratic candidates are polling better against Trump.

She’s ‘black’, articulate, childless and has a white Jewish husband - a big turn off for many on the right.

She’s also on the right of the centrist democrats, and her history as a prosecutor and views of business are unpalatable for people on the left who are the first generation to be poorer than their parents.

by Anonymousreply 41January 29, 2019 7:32 PM

Kamala is a poor speaker and she tends to hide herself behind nonsensical "inspirational" platitudes (see below).

Bernie and Warren would wipe the floor with her, as would Biden, who destroyed Paul Ryan in the 2012 VP debate.

Being Obama's VP was the best thing to happen to Biden's political career. He should retire while he's ahead. And between women voters who have not forgotten his role in the Clarence Thomas hearings and his championing of the terrible bankruptcy bill, he should worry about attacks on his "legacy."
