Book Review: Kamala Harris' "107 Days" takes the nation inside her campaign's dash for the presidency

The most intriguing reading to be taken out of Kamala Harris’ book “107 Days” is between the lines. The narrowly beaten Democratic nominee flags shortcomings of an otherwise achieving Biden/Harris presidency as well as paths that need be taken.

The Vice President was given just over three months to put together a campaign, with scant time to road test themes and scant space to reassemble an Obama coalition rooted in inspiring tough-to-turn-out younger and low income constituents.

The result was a seat-of-the-pant-suits campaign.

Nonetheless, Harris and her managers, on election eve, felt they had pulled it off. Instead, the swing states were lost with vote percentages in the high forties.

3. I bet a bunch of those were the people mad

That they didn't have a primary and get to choose. I know a lot of people felt it wasn't democratic just being told she was it.

I was fine with it but I have always lived in the west where we are freethinkers and more liberal. The swing states have more moderate dems and independents who probably wanted a primary even though there was no time for that.

Joe either shouldn't have run or stayed on even if he lost because people dumped a lot on Kamala for trying. She had to come up against race, being a woman, no primary, Palestein all in a few months. I thought she did great but rallies don't mean votes. And the media was mostly against her.
