I'd probably rate her the least appealing candidate in the entire democrat field, although Bernie and Fauxcohontas and Spartacus would give her a run for the money.

All three of those scare me more. Harris seems more of an empty suit, that will do as told. If elected, it effectively would mean President Pelosi-Schumer.

Could be. And I frankly don’t like the idea of President Pelosi-Schumer either. But Harris strikes me as too much of a self-absorbed, egotistical, arrogant witch (feel free to substitute a consonant) to let that happen. Then again, we had a self-absorbed, egotistical, arrogant a-hole in the White House, and his inability to work with others led to very little of his socialist agenda getting passed, so maybe we could get lucky again.

No. Sleeping your way to the top means exchanging sexual favors for advancement. There is every indication that Harris did precisely that. I’m don’t understand what or how a trophy wife can advance you unless her father or mother own the company, and that was clearly not the case.

Neither you nor Tanq nor I has clear insight into the nature of the relationship between Kamala Harris and Willie Brown.

Willie Brown helped to advance the careers of plenty of NoCal politicians in the 1990s. Presumably not all of these politicians were sleeping with him.

Calling her a "slut" is low-rent and very Angry Old Man.

Presumably he was getting something in return from those politicians whose careers he was advancing. I am guessing he asked the men and ugly women for different quid pro quos.

You guys are beginning to make Angry Old Man a badge of honor.

Yes. You should own it.

Apparently successful, powerful women?

Nothing. I certainly don't consider myself "young".
