My gut says Harris will be (and should be) the VP pick, but she's not without a couple flaws.

40. The assessment by the OP was excellent

Harris would have been awful atop the ticket. It was my fear until she thankfully dropped out. As the OP mentioned she comes across as a prosecutor, and as you mentioned that translated to not likable during the campaign.

There is no way Harris would have connected with female swing voters. The reason I hosted those debate watching parties for so many years in the first place was to get a birds eye view of what type of personality clicks, and the type that is rejected.

The barking female prosecutor style is lambasted from all directions. That's why I was in such disbelief here and elsewhere when Harris' questioning of Kavanuagh was somehow viewed as a positive toward her chances in 2020. It should have been a siren in the opposite direction.

That said, filling an enthusiasm/balance role as vice president makes a lot of sense. Maybe Kamala could appear on talk shows while campaigning -- and hopefully as vice president -- to loosen up her style and image.
