Is Kamala Harris Over Before She Got Going?

Vodkapundit-

Senator Kamala Harris was supposed to be the posterwomyn for progressive Democratic presidential primary voters: Intersectional, youngish, San Franciscan, reliably lefty on a whole host of issues, yet with a law-and-order record that might appeal to party moderates. Harris showed some of that prosecutor’s flair in the first round of Democratic debates in June, when she went hard after former Veep Joe Biden for his old stance on busing. That attack generated enough positive press to prove Harris truly belonged amongst the frontrunners.

Except that since then, there’s been a whole lot of not much — and the progressive left and the Mainstream Media (but I repeat myself) have taken notice.

Harris tried to create another Biden moment in last Wednesday’s debate, but the sparks never quite flew. Her demeanor and performance were so relaxed — verging on comatose — that I wondered during my drunkblog if she was on some heavy cold medication. Even her prepared closing statement was off, as I noticed at the time:

Harris is closing with her AG record, which Gabbard absolutely savaged her for earlier tonight. It’s like she forgot that ever happened, and judging by her NyQuil demeanor, maybe she has.

It was the wrong closing delivered to the wrong crowd.

I’m far from the only one to notice that Harris’s campaign is sagging. FiveThirtyEight’s Nate Cohn, who was once “optimistic about her chances,” now says the her “performance in last week’s debate gave me reason for pause.” He concludes that Harris is “increasingly at risk of becoming the Marco Rubio in a field of candidates who have more distinctive pitches to voters.”

Ouch.

If you can stomach Mediaite, which seems to fancy itself as the left’s barometer of cool, they have video of Michael Moore mocking Harris’s student debt plan by…

    “But she can still suck a golf ball through a garden hose”

    …Big deal. “Obama” can do it WAY better, just ask Reggie, HER doing it isn’t deviant enough to impress hard-core Democrats anymore, anyway.

    …now, if she’d get one of her OWN attached and suck it ON CAMERA, she might get back in it, at least on a primary/media level…

    …or not, since “Michelle” will be the eventual nominee, and “she’s” hung WAY bigger than anything medical science can stitch on, so the competition is just too, uh, “stiff”…

  2. For a prosecutor she is not very fast on her feet when responding to journalists that put her on the spot or her comrades during debates. Plus the word is out she is as black / African American as the two shooters last weekend. She doesn’t even have a core set of positions. Even lunatic Booker seems far more sure of what he wants to be/promote. She thought it would be a cake walk checking a bunch of boxes with the media carrying her.
