I hate to be the one to put this out there, but - I think she's thrown in the towel. How else to read this?

OP, your enthusiasm is appreciated, but if the candidate doesn't have it, how can we?

This week:
Vice President Kamala Harris and former Rep. Liz Cheney on Monday wrapped up a series of moderated conversations in Wisconsin, where they continued to make the case that Donald Trump is unfit for the presidency.

On Tuesday, she will record an interview with NBC’s Hallie Jackson at 3:40 p.m. ET in Washington, D.C. At 4:30 p.m., the Democratic nominee will tape an interview with Telemundo’s Julio Vaqueiro.

Harris will travel to Pennsylvania on Wednesday and participate in a CNN Town Hall event in Chester Township, just outside of the Philadelphia metropolitan area.

On Thursday, the vice president will be in Georgia for a campaign rally, joined by former President Barack Obama

Harris is expected to visit Texas on Friday to attend a campaign event in Houston focusing on abortion rights and rally with Rep. Colin Allred, D-Texas plus recording Berne Brown’s podcast.

Ok, so that’s like one event per travel day, with the exception of the last day, where she does 2 events.

That’s not nearly enough. He’s doing 2-3 travel events a day, with interviews in between.


She’s acting like she’s not really interested in winning. I don’t understand it, or her motivation here.

It’s worrisome.

Everything that I have read about Harris’s management style as Veep indicates someone who is very high maintenance. This is most likely an intentional schedule either requested by her or decided by her team to maximize her performance and limit her exposure. Effectively to stage manage her, which has been a strong theme of her campaign.

She is a pampered childless California liberal- what else do you expect?

I mean yes. I’m a mom and lawyer and it is jarring to me that she never married until she was 50 and also never had kids but thinks she can relate to what most families go through. She is not qualified to talk to me about childcare or managing a household with groceries or the impact of anything on our schools or the issues of balancing work and family or the struggling of saving for college. And her choice of husband is questionable. We all know why. So I literally cannot relate to her as a women. She has as much insight into my life as a 15 year old or my 85 year old mother in law who went from her parents home to her husbands and never had a job. I wouldn’t elect a 15 year old or my MIL. And in the areas where she should be shining, like her amazing prosecutorial skills of verbal persuasion, she is a spectacular failure! She is such a mess.

Yes, I think her campaigning as a “mother” might be a strategic mistake. She literally got married to Doug when the kids were 15 and 19 years old. The kids first met her one year before that. It is insulting to many actual mothers to call yourself a mom when you weren’t involved in the kids lives at all until they were basically adults.

I am a mom and I've never gotten the feeling Harris is trying to tell me how to parent or manage a household. Why would that be something a president does? There has never been a presidential candidate (in the general) who I felt could fully understand my experience as a mom or a middle class person managing a household. Including Hillary. These people never really know what it's like to be a regular person. They aren't regular.

I actually think being a step parent to two teens gives her street cred as a parent though. Teens are hard. Step-parenting can be awkward and I think it's actually hardest during the teen years when parents have to negotiate how much freedom to give kids and how. It's easier when kids are younger and more under parental control because there are fewer decisions where a step-parent would need to weight in -- you just do what the bio parents decide and don't mess with it. With teens you have to deal with stuff like kids driving and having access to drugs or alcohol through peers and there are more occasions where you might interact with your stepkid 1:1 and it's not obvious how you should handle it based on what their parents want. Kids are pulling away and it's easier to get caught in the middle. It's a unique situation and I have no doubt it has been meaningful to her in terms of understanding what it is to be responsible for the well being of children.

Trump calls himself a dad and I think he barely interacted with his kids until they were adults except Ivanka and their relationship is creep AF. He's been married multiple times and cheated on all his wives. He's never really shopped for groceries or helped a kid with homework or dont anything normal people do.

Harris strikes me as more normal and in touch with the experience of average Americans than Trump.

Completely agree. So why doesn't she go with that?

Instead, in typical Kamala who-are-you inauthenticity, she goes on and on about "raising children" and speaking as though we've forgotten she doesn't have any of her own.

I haven't seen her go on and on about this I guess. I heard it mentioned at the convention (mostly in Doug's speech which makes sense) and I saw the comment at the town hall yesterday where she mentioned making mistakes "as a parent." Otherwise I haven't noticed that she emphasizes being a mom really at all.

She doesn't talk that much about herself and when she does get auto-biographical she seems to talk most about her mom and sister. It seems like those are the most formative relationships of her life (and it does sound like she plays a kind of maternal roll in her sister's life fwiw -- not uncommon in families of divorce with older sibs).

She can be awkard but doesn't strike me as inauthentic. In fact her awkwardness in fact feel authentic -- she's kind of weird nerd.

I guess you missed last night's CNN town hall. Kamala the Mommy was the jello thrown at the wall - hope this sticks - that was tried there.

Like everything else, it was a complete flop.

Word salad city, - David Axelrod

Does she have dementia? No. Does she spend 40 minutes dancing to Ave Maria or talking about a dead golfer's junk? No. Is she a convicted felon or convicted in a court of law rapist or has attempted a coup or been impeached twice? No.

Take it up with David Axelrod. He's the one who appears to be so upset over her performances.

Who f cares what he thinks? We have two choices. You obviously prefer the dementia riddled felon who goes on and on about the dead golfer's junk.

Even van Jones thinks she's bad

David axlerod is fine with her performances. He would have liked more time on the trail.
Because this has been a huge undertaking in such a short period.

Can Van Jones thinks she is doing well but has high expectations.

Yeah, well, that's what happens when the party elders conduct a coup on a sitting President and presumptive nominee, and swap in an untested political light-weight.

Next time, they'll know.

Did he claim to do anything contrary? The difference is Kamala throws out things without thinking like saying it's hard to be a parent and she never was one it's word salad but the worst part is she isn't thinking about what she is about to say. She might have adhd which is fine but I can see that's what's up with her.

Anyone who thinks DJT is fit to serve is an idiot. Full stop. I don't care what your policy opinions are. Harris will be fine and the GOP can try to come up with an actual candidate for 2028. Until that time, DJT is unacceptable on every level.

Oh honey, we know you're all in the tax cuts you hope to get from the fascist and the racist. It's okay to admit it. But the idea that he is better than her is laughable.

I can assure you she has been more of a parent than Trump has ever been, despite not giving birth to the young people in her life.

SO you are not voting, right? Because by this logic, Trump doesn't can't speak to you either.

Pretty sure he has 5 kids.

And never once changed a diaper (except his own) or helped raise those kids in any fashion. I'm sure he KNOWS and RELATES to what most families go through. You know, like all of us billionaires who only worked for their parents' businesses and reality tv programming before getting into politics.

How the hell do you know what involvement Trump had in his kids' lives?

Kamala was a piece of work last night on CNN - mentioning multiple times what it was like to "raise children." Lady, you became a step mother when they were in their teens. Please do no insult those of us who were in the trenches from Day One. Kamala did not "raise children."

+1 This! There simply is no substitute.

OH FFS. Get the F over yourselves. You people clamoring about motherhood have your heads so far up your butts, I fear for your children. Care about your kids? You can't vote for Trump. Trump will wreck the economy. He will ignore the central tenants of our government and Constitution. Love your kids? Vote Harris.

-A mother.

6 of the CNN hosts trashed her performance. From calling her out for endless word salads, not answering the questions, blaming trump for everything with no plans of her own, and not sealing the deal with voters.

The best was one of the host saying that she had a Debate all set up for herself, and she lost!!!!!


She is so so so so so so so bad.

You mean like Arnold Palmer's junk? Or concepts of a plan when it comes to healthcare? Or ingesting bleach to kill the coronavirus which was going to magically go away? You mean like that? Or is that just "telling it like it is" in your book. Still waiting on Trump's healthcare policy after 9 years.
