Some specifics? She sucks because... why? Someone else said so? Why do you personally think she sucks? Again, specifics please.

For whatever reason she isn't popular.

 

In a previous election I remember a "man in the street" interview where the guy said "She's the police". So her record as DA of San Francisco and AG of California apparently contribute to her lack of popularity.

 

Not to neglect the obvious reasons: misogyny and racism, fear of the other.

Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan would be a good choice.

Under normal circumstances that would be a good choice. But given the reality of the 2024 election cycle and the big chance that Kamala will be crushed, it may be hard to find 'name brand' democrats willing to go down to defeat with her.  IF the democrats were smart, they would put together a ticket with two of their moderate governors (Whitmer, Shapiro, Moore) and give Kamala the elbow.  Any combo of those three would give Trump a run for his money.

I believe she is capable of lying about her true opinions.

 

Like all leftists, she'll say anything to stay in power. The biggest lies she's told recently have been about Biden's mental health. She knew quite well how senile he's become. Lyin' like a DAWG:

 

The Hur report was spot on. Maybe Garland will stop hiding the audio now that they've engineered this coup against Biden after the debate.

God, the Left and the MSM have gaslit the US public for years.  "Joe is 100%, Joe is a spry as a 20 year old, Joe runs rings around his staffers"... and they kept this bravo-sierra up via WH Spokeperson Karine Jean-Pierre who doubled down after the disastrous debate and insisted that all those videos of Joe The Elder being "elderly" were actually "deep-fake" videos.

Then you wonder why fewer and fewer people trust anything coming out of Washington DC or the White House or any political party.  Why?  They All Lie!  And when caught in lies - The Lie Even More!

 

Regarding elderly Joe dropping out. 
So now the full support of the DNC goes to Kamala Harris -

I really have grown weary of all this nonsense.

 

They ALL lie, they ALL gaslight, neither left nor right have a monopoly on the BS.

Harris can never win.  I think she was Biden’s VP pick for several reasons, none of which had anything to do with her actual ability to perform as President. She was picked because she was a woman, and because she was a woman of color. She was also picked as an “insurance policy” of sorts.  Biden probably figured his tenure in office was safe so long as Harris demonstrated obvious incompetence.  
 

What was her focus supposed to be?  The border?

[alex8912]

Kamala Harris will never be president of the United States.... secret message from those on the ground here in super liberal Cambridge Massachusetts. Forget Seth Moulton and Liawatha. They lie. 
She is a complete joke.

Harris is definitely not the strongest pick to beat Trump but she has a better chance than Biden.

She will need to make significant adjustments to per public persona to improve her chances.

Is she capable of that?

I don’t know yet and neither do.you.

Jill Biden.

 

Jill Biden has formally dropped out of the 2024 presidential race, she announced today at a press conference that was supposed to be for her husband. . . .

 

Jill Biden said she would not seek a second term because she was tired of everyone thinking her husband was the real president. "He's a skeleton in a skin suit that has been reanimated by dark magicks to nod and smile at people. Frankly, I'm insulted no one has caught on that I'm the actual president," she complained. "I'm tired of him getting all the glory!"

Obama didn't endorse Harris right away. He knows how weak she is.

No he knows there are stronger options and he wants the democrats to have a chance to go through a democratic process via the elected party delegates to explore them. He also believes that Kamala when probably nominated after competing will be stronger for it.

As noted, he knows how weak she is. He knows better than to think the process will be "democratic," though in real democracy it of course should be. Main issue here is who will be the VP and rollover to support Biden's failed job record. Alas

 

Former President Donald Trump holds a six-point lead over Vice President Kamala Harris in The Hill's latest average polling.

 

As of Sunday, The Hill's latest average of polls puts Harris at 36.9% and Trump at 42.6%. Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy, who was also named in the poll, currently sits at 5.8%.

 

Notably, Harris's favorability sits at 37.7% as of Sunday, with an unfavorability rating of 55.5%.

The sad thing here is that Biden stepped down from his campaign on National Ice Cream Day, of all days.

 

Frank Biden spoke rather ominously about Biden's health recently. May be even worse than now is known. Or not, depending how much you read into his comment.

Sorry Big but this is the first time in history a president has withdrawn from the nomination after the primaries.

Each party has existing and fully legal rules already in place for such an odd situation. 

It's impossible to redo state primaries in the context of the timing so opening this up to elected delegates definitely is a democratic process.

A back room deal or not allowing for an open convention process and just a coronation of an unopposed VP would not be democratic. Primary voters chose Biden Harris not Harris fill in the blank.

Dancing Kalama is a good choice for America. In fact - she's the perfect choice! She will bring more fun into politics and will make even more breaking news in media than singing Obama.

The proof is the effort by Dems to get the VP job.

If that's the standard, then you really want AOC. Even greater bimbo than Kamala, a qualification that enables her to call a lot of the shots in the Party anyway. Green New Deal for the elites, man.
