One of the pleasures of the campaign season is the vicious backbiting articles performing vivisections of faltering campaigns.
Kamala Harris gets a turn in the dunk tank. It does not sound as if she is an effective leader and manager:
How Kamala Harris’s Campaign Unraveled
Ms. Harris is the only 2020 Democrat who has fallen hard out of the top tier of candidates. She has proved to be an uneven campaigner who changes her message and tactics to little effect and has a staff torn into factions.
Why the long faces?
Many of her own advisers are now pointing a finger directly at Ms. Harris. In interviews several of them criticized her for going on the offensive against rivals, only to retreat, and for not firmly choosing a side in the party’s ideological feud between liberals and moderates. She also created an organization with a campaign chairwoman, Maya Harris, who goes unchallenged in part because she is Ms. Harris’s sister, and a manager, Mr. Rodriguez, who could not be replaced without likely triggering the resignations of the candidate’s consulting team. Even at this late date, aides said it’s unclear who’s in charge of the campaign.
Her one shining moment was in an early debate when she turned to Biden and explained that he opposed forced busing in the 70s but she was a beneficiary of voluntary busing, so his position gave her the sadz.
Yeah, it didn't actually make any sense, as folks eventually realized when she declined to support forced busing today.
