I know it’s not good to comment on a female politicians looks, but I think she is striking.

And, to make me not look sexist, Beto is handsome.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

her lengthy self-promotion before she answered a very simple question pretty much turns me off. Had she simply given a coherent answer, I would have been impressed. I just lost interest in following her any further. I regret this, but it's my honest reaction.

That's your right, and I don't dispute it. I wasn't trying to be disrespectful. I was just truly disappointed that, instead of responding to Chris Hayes' question, Harris spent a good minute and a half telling us what we already know -- that she was a successful prosecutor in California. Candidly, I find her need to endorse herself to be unattractive and baffling. She was obviously invited to comment because of her prosecutorial experience. Her need to promote herself instead of dealing with the question at hand, unfortunately, reminded me of Trump. We don't need that among our candidates.

That being said, I will definitely vote for her, if she's our nominee.

She muttered something about "it's a topic that will need to be discussed at some point"...

I expected better from such a sharp prosecutorial mind.

I wish I could support her, but -- in light of my own concerns, and the lack of any logical justifications or explanations from her dedicated supporters -- I have decided to cross her off my list tonight. Instead of providing me with a reason to continue to support her, they simply derided me. That's OK, but it's not a convincing argument in favor of Harris. Until tonight, I had serious respect for her candidacy. I regret that that has ended.
