Politico: Kamala is connecting with the people too much

[Awsi Dooger]

10. "...remains a politician under construction"

I thought that was the most interesting line from the article, and rightfully should have been the headline, given the content. The headline itself was a strange choice.

It was a good analysis of her strengths and weaknesses, including details from her prior campaigns, notably 2015. It matches my impression of Harris, that she is talented but would struggle on defense. The article pointed out some of her blunders from the senate campaign but said they were mostly ignored because the opponent was even more error prone.

No matter who we nominate I know I'll be longing for Hillary caliber throughout the race. Hillary is phenomenal. I don't pretend to know why the nation was so skeptical of her, although I saw the same thing often directed at various female nominees when I hosted debate watching parties for 8 years. You'll never hear anything as vile as how older female voters will describe a female candidate who they don't like. More than once I wanted to throw those people out of my living room. But I had to calm down and understand that I was doing it as learning experience, so I wasn't guessing toward how certain demographics think.
