Do you not think the political parties have leadership?

I wondered how long it would take before someone pulled out the sexist card from their deck of excuses. Don’t try to lay that sexist card on me. I voted for Nikki Haley.

I can assure you that if a man with her exact experience spoke like she does without a teleprompter, and had her extremely liberal policies, there is no way on earth I would vote for him. So stuff that card back in your deck and use it on someone else.

Regarding DA, Attorney General, Senator, and VP, listening to her speak I’ve been baffled how she ever won statewide office in California. So I looked into it a little bit. As we all know, she was the girlfriend of Willie Brown, who was the king of Democratic politics in California. Browns promoted her for that office.

She ran for DA against two other candidates. California lumps all candidates, regardless of party, into one primary, and the two highest vote getters runoff in the general election.

The three candidates received roughly equal votes and Harris was in a runoff with one other person. The other person had a tremendous amount of baggage and Harris won. I don’t know the extent of Willie Brown’s influence in that election.

When she ran for Attorney General, she was the only Democrat in the primary going against four or five Republicans. Why was there only one Democrat who wanted to be Attorney General? Was this the influence of Brown and party leadership? The runoff was between her and a Republican, and since California is a Democratic state, she won.

The Senate primary had 34 candidates of which only seven were Democrats, and five of the people I’ve never heard of. Harris and another Democrat, Loretta Sanchez, had a runoff. There was controversy surrounding Sanchez, and Harris won.

So I don’t consider her experience as awe inspiring as you feel it is.

Harris is miles better at articulating coherent arguments than her opponent, which is why the debate between Harris and Trump was entirely one sided.

Having now seen Harris speak in full a couple of additional times, it’s clear she definitely has a lot of it rehearsed and is trying to recollect talking points. Not super unusual. Some issues she clearly knows better than others. Seems to me her worst moments are when she tries to say something “profound”, and it really isn’t. She’s much better on topics where she can come across more naturally. Still, when the other side is “they’re eating the dogs. they’re eating the cats”… I’m not sure we wanna go down that path as far comparing what gets said when teleprompters are off…
