    shows that

    she can stand up to bullies and pathological liars---surgically landing some powerful punches---like Barr,
    a surrogate for Trump​

    Owning a hand gun would possibly even help her in a general election.

    In reality she is not a far left person, she lets politics and trying to curry favor with certain groups get in the way and it makes her seem insincere and fake at times.

    She is at her best being the law and order, ball buster that she is. She is an Obama type moderate........ and I really believe that had she ran more truthfully she would have had a really good chance to win.

    She needs to trust her instincts..... for example when they asked her about felons voting. She was too concerned about upsetting voters so she didn't take a position right away. She knew it was absurd..... she should have played it to the hilt and said she "I am a former prosecutor. I am familiar with the damage that dangerous and violent felons do in our society. I want to keep people safe and I do not believe that dangerous felons should have the right to vote. That is Bernie's fight."

    i agree with a lot of this but there is a difference between felons and dangerous felons.

    Don't really have a strong opinion on voting rights for felons but don't think you should have your rights permanently stricken because of any felony.D

    So no felons can be rehabilitated?

    not if she is perceived as a hypocrite. what I've read suggests she will get tagged with the "sensible gun laws" label.

    The other candidates should go get themselves some guns. Anyone who is running in the General on gun control is not going to have any credibility with swing voters if they can't demonstrate they aren't anti-second-amendment nuts (like me). If you are a Dem candidate who owns a gun, you can credibly say 'I don't want to take away your guns, I just want some common-sense controls.'

    traitor george needs to stop lying,
    • Harris was born and raised in Oakland, Calif
    • at the start of her high school career, she moved to Montreal when her mother accepted a job there
      • her father remained in Bay Area working as a physician
    • after graduating from high school in Montreal, she attended Howard University
    Willie Brown was not a power broker, as you had made him out to be.
    he was ambitious and smart, smart enough to never run for State office.
    he was popular only in the Oakland/SF area, unpopular in the rural area and
    the more populous Southern Calif region
    Kamala is from the less populated Northern California region, yet she was able to win 2 state-wide elections,
    each time beating a worthy opponent from the more populated So Calif. in the 2016 US Senate race, she beat a popular 10-term Congresswoman from So Calif,​

    Kamala Harris won the first Democratic debate, and it wasn't even close

    Sen. Kamala Harris on Thursday had the strongest performance in two nights of Democratic debates —
    and it wasn't even close.


    Harris commanded the stage, gave consistently strong answers, and won the most important exchange
    of the campaign season by eviscerating Joe Biden on his past opposition to school busing and fond remembrance of his working relationship with segregationists.

    She was a clear winner.

    Sounds like something Trump, Russians and Republicans would want to believe. I thought she killed Buttiege with that exchange more so than Biden, because Biden defended vigorously and with credibility. He is buddy buddy with Obama. At best I think she got herself extra few points in the polls and a VP consideration/extortion :)


    Also #cringe at the use of the term "alpha" in a national publication - can't find an appropriate definition that fits the context it was used in on Merriam Webster

    The non partisan NBC ran a story that suggested that Harris made a dent in Biden's cloak of electability, so there is that:

    https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/20...n-trips-first-2020-democratic-debate-n1024386

    Their argument, specifically, was that Biden's aids didn't proclaim victory and that Harris's attack was memorable with "I was that child" and because he didn't go on defending himself longer (he went on for about a minute before stopping).

    It is not like Harris gained a lot of electability with that Gun control executive order proclamation: "either Congress gets me some gun control solution in 100 days or I will just make a law of my own!"

    Man, prosecutors must love extortion approaches.
    They get plea deals that way and VP appointments. She certainly played the race card well in the busing exchange. Had her voice break a little during the delivery.

    Public defender vs prosecutor? We'll find out who wins this one in the polls
