Biden drops out, endorses Harris: Is Kamala Harris a better candidate now than she was in 2020?

"In short, she is a pathological liar who will say anything if it will win her votes.  That is rather typical of politicians who assume voters are not only ignorant but really stupid."  Patricia McCarthy

Jul 10, 2024,  Biden drops out, endorses Harris: Is Kamala Harris a better candidate now than she was in 2020? | Vox   "The last time Kamala Harris ran a campaign for the presidency, she dropped out of the contest before a single vote was cast.

"After launching her bid in Oakland, California, in front of a crowd of 20,000 supporters in January 2019, she campaigned for 310 days before dropping out of the contest. At the time she left the race, she was polling at 4 percent or lower in polling aggregates — a complete flop. It was a stunning result: Harris had been seen as a rising star for most of her years campaigning for and legislating in the Senate, questioning Trump administration officials, and was viewed as the possible future of the Democratic Party as she prepared for a presidential bid.

"She didn’t get close to the nomination in 2020. Now, due to the unprecedented weirdness of the 2024 cycle, she’s as close as she has ever been. President Joe Biden is under strong pressure to drop out of the race, but so far, has vowed not to do so. If that changes, Harris appears most likely to replace him atop the ticket.

But would a Harris-led ticket give Democrats a better shot at beating Donald Trump? What can we learn from 2020 that informs us on how she’d fare in 2024? And would the factors that held Harris back in 2020 likely still plague her this time around?" . . .

As with Biden saying "Don't, look at what she said vs. what she did:

A look at Kamala Harris' work on foreign policy as vice president - CBS News

"After President Biden announced he would not be running for reelection, he endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his pick to become the Democratic nominee. Here's a look at some of Harris' work on foreign policy over the last three and a half years:

. . ."Harris was assigned early during the Biden administration with addressing the "root causes" of irregular migration to the United States across its border with Mexico. She described those causes as corruption and lack of economic opportunity in some Central and South American nations.

"She has traveled to Latin America twice as vice president: To Mexico and Guatemala in 2021, and to Honduras in 2022.

"During a speech In Guatemala, she told people in the region considering making an unauthorized trip across the border: "Do not come. Do not come. The United States will continue to enforce our laws and secure our borders." . . .

How on Earth do Harris supporters rationalize away her continuous stream of lies? - Patricia McCarthy     "Kamala Harris was a district attorney in San Francisco, then a state attorney general in Sacramento, but apparently never personally prosecuted a single case. 

"She did damage though, contributing to the sad downfall of those once-glorious cities. In 2014, she led the charge to pass Proposition 47, which ended prosecutions for crimes deemed unimportant and tied the hands of police. Crime and lawlessness have followed.

"Then she became a senator.  Only California would elect such an unqualified person to that high office. She was by all accounts the most radical senator in Congress while she was there." . . .  Many, I suppose are those who wear those designer scarves while chanting 'Death to America!' TD
