Whispers of Harris for President Circulate at Hampton Donor Party
2017-07-19
[Free Beacon] Freshman senator Kamala Harris (D., Calif.) mingled with top Democratic donors in the Hamptons this weekend, where many indicated she may be considering running for president.

The ultimate signal at the Bridgehampton event, a top donor said, was that Harris was "thinking much bigger" than the Senate, The Hill reported.

Democrats have indicated that they want ‐ and are in need of ‐ a fresh face.

"There's a big hunger for somebody new and different," Bill Carrick, who challenged Harris in last year’s senatorial race, said. "There are people who might not know her real well but want to like her. What little they know, they like."

In an election night address, Harris put herself in a position that led her fans to see her as the antidote to Donald Trump.

"Our ideas are at stake right now, and we all have to fight for who we are," she said. "I believe this is the moment in time for our country, where we are collectively being required to look in the mirror, and with furrowed brow, we are asking a questions: ’Who are we?' In California, I believe the answer is a good one. We are a great country."

The Hill reported that donors and fundraisers see Harris as someone who embodies the qualities needed for a Democratic presidential candidate to take the White House in 2020.

"She's running for president. Take it to the bank," one fundraiser said. "She’s absolutely going to run."

Kamala Harris is little more than Maxine Waters minus the ugliness-- a vicious, hateful victicrat and crazy as a shithouse rat.

What the Democratic Party needs is to rid itself of its crazies, not stand them up for election.

#3  The Dems are still elated from their 2008 success. Of course they're looking for another unknown contender such as BarackHusseinObama. This time it a liberal (as well as rude and nasty) black woman--a twofer to go against Trump|given that he makes it for that long--the Beltway Party and Deep State are trying to take him down.

#2  There's a big hunger for somebody new and different,

And how is a black first term senator different from what we suffered through the last 8 yrs.?

Oh right she's a female that makes all the difference to some people.

#1  Unless Harris can actually convince millions that she doesn't represent a party which perceives them as subhumans, she's not winning anything nationally. The jig is up on that and it will be a generation or more until people have forgotten what "bitter clinger" and "deplorable" mean.

The circles she travels in and the company she keeps virtually assures that it will come to light that she shares the view with the Democratic base that Christians, gun owners, and people who believe in limited government, free enterprise, and intact borders are untermensch. All the sunshine rhetoric about helping "the needy" or that all Americans should have "equal share" of the economy won't fool us the way said rhetoric did in '08 coming from Obama.
