Excuse me but may I say something about Senator Harris? [View all]

[NewsCenter28]

She has yet to show, to me at least, the ‘it’ factor for 2020 that Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Beto O’Rourke, Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Al Franken even though he is now retired, Kirsten Gillbrand, the Castro brothers in TX, Amy Klobouchar, and even the defeated Claire Mckaskill have shown. I connect with all those listed above. They all make me feel terrific about myself, radiate empathy and compassion, and have succeeded in accomplishing significant progressive agenda items at the national level.

All of the above come across as someone relatable. Harris is definitely tough as nails. I see the fighter in her but not warmth to be honest. Likability is an important factor. She is not the most llkable candidate we have imho. Also, I was counting on her to knock Kavanaugh out with her tough-as-nails reputation but that didn’t occur. I just see red flags here with her. Primarily, just in the silly but important sense of the ‘have a beer with’ presidential election test. Warren, Mckaskill, Gillibrand, and Klobouchar all easily pass that test with me.

I’ll support her but I do not see in her specifically the qualities of a winning Democratic Presidential Nominee at this time. Also, she is still just a newly elected freshman senator. Hopefully, she’ll blow me away and prove me wrong with her 2020 campaign. She would be better suited and probably be a terrific attack-dog VP nominee.
