Harris has set a deadline to declare her intent to run for Governor of California by the end of this summer.
A very small part of me wants to see her run for Gov. because it would be the most entertaining political train wreck of all time. It’s hard to think of a worse, less-qualified candidate for…well…anything. She was good at one job, and one job only, that of prosecutor. She was a fairly conservative DA in a liberal town. But she’s not a politician. She was the very definition of a DEI hire, Biden said so when he elevated her to the VP role. Biden resented being forced out of the 2024 race, and he endorsed Harris out of pure spite. I’m sure he and Jill enjoyed watching her crash and burn as much as I did.
Democrats were — and still are — horrified at what her candidacy did to the Democratic party. The Republicans control everything, thanks in large part to her ineptitude. Hillary Clinton at least had a successful President for a husband. Joe Biden was the last remaining Democratic moderate who could pretend he wouldn’t embrace a fully Progressive agenda.
But Harris? Wow. Just…wow. All the excesses, shortcomings and failures of the Progressives all rolled into one deeply flawed political candidate. She literally tried to walk back 15 separate unpopular political positions! Of course, you can’t. One or two? Sure. Three or four? Eh…very difficult. But fifteen? Ah…no.
And still…she raised and spent (more than) a billion dollars. And still lost with Trump spending 1/3rd what she did. Democrats everywhere say she’s finished as a major candidate…for anything. She was an utter, complete, total failure.
The funniest part is that in any other state, she would have slunk back home with her tail between her legs. But she has the great good fortune to be from California, home of the woke Progressives and the Six Major Democratic Support Vehicles:
- Hollywood
- Silicon Valley
- Wall Street West (VCs, private equity)
- Big Media
- Big Academia
- Big Law
All six are in California in vast amounts. And true to form, the Los Angeles Times has not only endorsed Harris for 2028 CA Governor, they literally begged her to run in an Op-Ed.
The sad and scary thing is that…she’d probably win. She’d be a shoe-in. She has the name recognition, the connections, the big CA donors. In spite of the DEI failures resulting, literally, in entire towns burning down, the land of the undocumented immigrant will vote her in as Governor.
And if you thought Gavin Newsom was a shitshow? Wait until you get Governor Harris.
That’s just the first bad news. If Trump fails…the Progressives will win 2028. There aren’t many moderate Democrats left any more, and if Trump fails, they will repudiate everything he does, just as Trump repudiates every Progressive move.

Wrong, Mick.
She was not a particularly good prosecutor. Loathed by most of her colleagues..
I left the DAs office in 2007, but long enough to have heard of Kamala Harris and be aware of the dislike of most of the others.
I wouldn't give you two cents for all your fancy rules if, behind them, they didn't have a little bit of plain, ordinary, everyday kindness - yeah, and a little looking out for the other fella, too.

But that was because she was too conservative, right? Progressives hated her, right?
Would you say she was better at being a prosecutor, California’s Attorney General, Senator or Vice President?

Well, that’s like going 0 for 4, with three K’s. At least she made contact in her first AB. . . .
Totally apt comparison. Believe me, I don’t think she was a great DA, but she sucked at it less than her other three roles. It matches with her personality. Remember how painful it was to watch her answer reporter questions? It’s because DA’s don’t answer questions, they ask them. They’re only comfortable when they have all the facts and all the power on their side. They are completely and totally uncomfortable in a freeform environment. The opposite, in other words, of the current President.

Right. But it was clearly her comfort zone, whereas answering embarrassing questions from reporters was not.
I still don’t understand how the Democratic party let her candidacy go forward. Just because the outgoing President endorsed her is no reason to subject the country to the colossal embarrassment. It ruined the Democrats until (a) the upcoming midterms if Trump fails or (b) the 2028 presidential election if Trump succeeds.

BTW, Bill Maher agrees with me…
‘Real Time’ Crowd Goes Silent as Bill Maher Reacts to Kamala’s Plans to Run for Gov.
One other thing that gets basically no play…Trump’s people have been with him for decades. Harris’ people can’t stand her, her turnover was legendary. Dr. Ben Carson agrees:
