She never became known for any particular issue and eventually seemed to be trying too hard.  She will be a force in the party for some time to come and will probably try again for president down the line.

She was known for servicing Brown's Willie to start her political career is all.

Funny, you should mention that. Men get and give 'service' each and every day and it mostly never harms their chances of a political career.

She is a Senator, and you are right about her career remaining intact. Moreover, her "service" to Willie Brown was legal, off-hours, and behind closed doors—whatever t was, it was between consenting adults. In addition, Willie might have been 'servicing' her in which case (can I get an amen, Ladies?) how would any of us know for sure?

There are too many candidates. Fundraising on the internet and the ease with which people become "famous" these days gives some of these people the idea that they should run for president.  After there are 6 or so viable candidates the rest should wait for another year. 

Of course this would encourage people to announce earlier and earlier, and that isnt a good trend either. 

Maybe they should just go back to letting the convention decide it.

This was obvious.

The race is between Biden, Warren, Buttigieg and Bloomberg.   Maybe Sanders, but with his current demeanor, message and health issues he is very unlikely.   The rest have no chance.

Actually Ed, this is what I find so scary about politics today. She was hardly a leftist. In fact, her biggest detriment was her long history of locking up black people. 

Both parties are in control by their extreme ends and neither can see their way back to the middle. We need the middle now more than ever.

If the main contenders are Biden, Bloomberg, Warren and Buttigieg, how is the Democratic Party in the control of the extreme? 

Nancy Pelosi is arguably the leader of the Democratic Party today.  She is about as far from extremist as you can get.

(Of course you are right, but we're not supposed to let the secret out.

And BTW, not only does AOC control the entire Congress, but in actuality she single-handedly controls the entire U.S. government. (As well as the military).

How does she manage to do this you may ask?

Simple-- she's a Witch! 

Yes, she's actually a practicing Witch and she's a successful practicioner of Witchcraft-- in the bat of an eyelash she can put a magicke spell on any government official and make them brnd to her will!!!!!!!)

Can't say as I blame her. Her days as a "prosecutor" turned her into a real angry person and it seems, clouded her judgement outside of the courtroom..........and holier than thou woman. Foreign diplomats would most likely expose her nasty tendencies by defying her wants just because they can see she is a manipulative ...........fill in the blank. And many here think she isn't like Mr. Trump?

It wasn't sexist at all. If a man with the same "pedigree" tried, he would be treated the same. All I am saying is that her reputation precedes her and she would be toast just as anyone who occupied the office did. Did you watch any of the first debates? She played the poor me race card more than once and took offense at practically ANY comments trying to demean her. Look what world leaders did to Mr. Carter (speedy recovery please) and Mr. Obama. Carter was a puss and so was Obama. Bush, just out of touch. She doesn't belong in the office and would be better on a high court somewhere............maybe.

You see how, we are told by the locals here, that they scoff at Mr. Trump and his supposed behaviour. Just what the hell do you think they would do to her? Drop at her feet and say "Thank you ma'am may I have another?

So if a woman is making sexist statements or using sexist name calling, you choose to ignore it whether directed at a man or woman?  That is your prerogative.

But, it seems to be a double standard to chastise one and not the other.

It affected me directly.

I do understand, have spent over 35 years in a male dominated career but I have learned over the years to recognize what are sexist comments and what are not instead of perceiving what I think they are. Trying not to jump to accusations.

That is full . . . .fill in the blank. Ms. Harris need not apologize to anybody for her black American/Indian heritage and it is her prerogative as such to properly speak about in a racially-sensitive manner according to the circumstances. It is the conservative movement's problem, if that is indeed what it is to them, that the policymakers can not collect or stir a suitable majority of minorities to its party-line. Perhaps, if conservatism and its adherents attempted to listen instead of repacking and re-wrapping itself overtime with peculiar values, people could properly move back and forth in the millions across both parties. That is not the case, however.

I take umbrage that when Ms. Harris fails in her first attempt to become president, that anybody should start talking about it as anything more than what it is. She simply is not ready to be president in the minds of the people. That happens. There is no need for conservatives to launch a celebration or throw a 'tap dance,'— it has always been and is clear from the start that 'shaving' of the democratic party contestants and the many personalities would occur.

As far as Jim Carter goes well conservativism did not make a good man go bad. As far as Obama goes, he probably could give a damn about what conservatism cares about state of governance or state of being or state of current affairs. Some conservatives apparently love to play the 'memory-card' when Trump is fuc. . .fill in the blank this nation's brand as caring, fair, decent, dignified and branding it as a faux monarchy under a leader who apparently will do anything to anybody he knows for a buck and does not like his natural hair color.

No he won because the "other" candidate took for granted that her way was what everyone across the fruited plain wanted. Unfortunately for her, she forgot to court that section of the country. And the only reason Mr. Obama won second term, and first for that matter, is that the GOP candidates sucked.

Pull down your skirt and raise your pants, Conservatism—your true nature is showing. It is clear to me anyway, conservatism never gave a damn about "truth, justice, and the "American Way." That was all fake flag-waving jingoism. Conservatism is tribalism, plain and simple.

Trump is tribal leader. And who would have 'thunk' it. The 'founding fathers of conservativism are rolling in anguish in their respective graves. Conservatism used to have some deep thinkers and the party has 'graduated' down to Trump? This 'meatball'?

Hi 'Fish! Governance is inherently complicated. In a system like ours with so much money circulating, people see it coming by on a 'conveyor' and they get saucer eyes. Then, this one gets a scheme, that one gets another, and that writes a book about the scheme that a third just hatched, and so on and so forth. No one has a problem, really, except the people on the bottom and on the outs are not happy. Those people 'litter' our politics, our streets, our lives, and the back spaces of our minds. Of course, then the 'world' comes a calling with its myriad of circular problems they can not manage to circumvent, talk their way out of, or stop causing under their own power.

Last thing I will say is this about it. We have to be smarter together and not just keep politically punching each other below the belt! Damn! Both parties have practically knee capped their success and all that is accomplished is you guessed it: Now our investigations cause investigations! We are duplicitous in fighting too much ourselves. Call it a 'war on politics.' It is costing us any savings we garner otherwise. 

Or things along these lines of thought. We will not return to sanity until we as people decide to do just that. RETURN TO SANITY. Elsewise, we will continue on being 'sick and tired' of being sick and tired, and our politically "drug" of choice will continue letting us all have it!

Ms. Harris took a 'shot' at Joe Biden and in the long run it did not help. To the winner of risk-taking goes tthe biggest payoff. To the loser go the dregs. That is the way life is. I agree with you, that could have been partially what damaged her early in this. In addition, I suppose, getting in early with a field that opened its 'mouth' to so many candidates diluted her well-wishers and supporters. She became a lesser 'chew.'

She came across as a phony.  Very little heart and emotion in her campaign.

Good. She was my least favorite candidate. She's mean, petty, and false. Perhaps more than any other candidate, she will say whatever she thinks is fashionable to get elected or whatever it takes to get ahead politically in the moment. Good riddance. 

Now if only somebody in California with at least the sunny disposition of Oscar the Grouch or Squidward would run against her for Senate, we could be rid of her entirely.

She sealed her fate when she attacked Biden over the busing.  White people heard her say that she's going to go back 60+ years and hold people accountable for positions and views that were common during that period in time.  It was a stupid move on her part.

Next....

Political candidates exaggerate and misrepresent their opponents positions all the time. 

I wonder how many people remember all the idiotic things Trump said on the debate stage and during the Republican primaries in 2016.

Remember what Ted Cruz said about Trump?

Ted Cruz on Tuesday unloaded on   Donald Trump , accusing him during a news conference of being a "pathological liar," "utterly amoral," "a narcissist at a level I don't think this country's ever seen" and "a serial philanderer."

"He is proud of being a serial philanderer ... he describes his own battles with venereal diseases as his own personal Vietnam," Cruz said, citing a decades-old Trump appearance on "The Howard Stern Show."
