REMEMBER WHEN DEMOCRATS (AND EVERYBODY ELSE) THOUGHT KAMALA HARRIS WAS A BAD VICE PRESIDENT? In the weeks since a group of secretive Democratic powerbrokers pushed President Joe Biden out of the race, the party as a whole has embraced Vice President Kamala Harris with astonishing speed. Now, on the eve of the first, and possibly only, debate with former President Donald Trump, Harris is still riding a seven-week “sugar high” of celebratory media coverage and polls showing increased Democratic enthusiasm for a race many once viewed with dread. Watch a Harris rally and you’ll likely see the audience chant a trance-like KA-MA-LA, KA-MA-LA. They’re in love — for the moment.

But it wasn’t too long ago that many Democratic insiders, and many in the party in general, considered Harris a failure at the job of vice president. Their unhappiness with Harris, which started with disappointment and evolved into something stronger, spilled into media reports and the general political conversation. There was broad agreement that Harris had just not been a very good pick for the nation’s second-highest position.

In February 2023, the New York Times published an article titled, “Kamala Harris Is Trying to Define Her Vice Presidency. Even Her Allies Are Tired of Waiting.” The headline was generous, given what followed. “The painful reality for Ms. Harris is that in private conversations over the last few months, dozens of Democrats in the White House, on Capitol Hill, and around the nation … said [Harris] had not risen to the challenge of proving herself as a future leader of the party, much less the country,” the New York Times reported. “Even some Democrats whom her own advisers referred reporters to for supportive quotes confided privately that they had lost hope in her.”

There was no way Biden's people who going to let Kamala have an opportunity to outshine Grandpa Joe.

The debate is her opportunity to demonstrate that she was held back by being Biden's #2, or that she really has no talent.

She has to walk a razor's edge to differentiate the policies of her potential administration from those of Barack Obama and Joe Biden.  America does not want a 4th Obama Administration.

Yep I sure do, then the next minute she was a glitzy glamourous pageant queen.

Already said here, based on the two candidate's platforms America has a stark choice - embrace some common sense, or believe the hype and jump over the Marxist cliff.

...or sitting in a funk and refusing to vote because the GOP Primaries selected an imperfect candidate.
