Wow, no one could have been more shocked that I was when Kamala Harris decided to drop out of the presidential race. I saw her dropping in the polls, but I had no idea that mattered to her – egomaniacs never believe the polls.
She couldn’t raise enough money? That is crazy – this woman has done favors for people, you’d think they’d be lining up to make her Queen of the Universe.
People like former California Public Utilities Commission chair Michael Peevey. When Harris was California Attorney General, she said that she had evidence to prosecute Peevey for illegal activities. But, all she did was talk – she let the case go until it was too late to prosecute, and Peevey skipped off with a huge severance package.
You’d think Peevey would have wanted to bankroll this woman – just think what she could do for him in the White House.
I was afraid people would be fooled by Harris – child of immigrants, first “woman of color” (aren’t all women one color or another?) to hold several offices, A WOMAN RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT! I was waiting for the bullying tactics that Obama supporters used – in fact, more so – we’d be not only racist, but SEXIST, not to vote for Harris!
But I was relieved that people saw through this woman’s veneer. People have watched her climb the ladder, never staying in one office for more than half a term before she’s running for the next. One political analyst quipped that she’s only been a state senator for about 15 minutes. I was also surprised how many people, liberal and conservative, were unhappy with her tenure as city attorney in San Francisco, particularly her support of the Sanctuary City declaration.
So voters aren’t soooo dumb. Good for that.
