(37,648 posts)Even when you are of a disadvantaged group, you agree to abide by the rules. The rules are very important in Congress. You can push the boundaries....up to a point.
Maxine Waters is more experienced at this and knows how to push the boundaries, while still basically respecting the rules, IMO. The law is king in our country, and the rules are necessary to ensure the law is obeyed in Congress.
This is one of the problems with Trump, IMO. He doesn't respect anything...rules or laws or people. He operates by his own rules, while having a displeasing and hateful manner about him in doing so.
I judge these things not by whether I agree with what position they hold. I'm speaking of the way the person handles herself or himself and has respect for others and the rules...and in the case of a candidate, whether there is some charisma there. I think some people excuse abrasiveness when they agree with the speaker's position or just like the person.
But I haven't seen Harris much and will pay attention to her in the future. It could be that was a one-time impression that doesn't hold.
