So I am wondering what our next president will be like. I know Kamala Harris has made a few campaign speeches, so I found a clip from her Las Vegas event by CNN. She starts of with abortion should be a right, and she will make a law making abortions legal.

She then claimed Trump used the Supreme Court to make abortion illegal. She then went on to comment that Trump had passed some sort of law to make him a dictator. She warned that he would weaponize the Justice Department.

For me abortion is a non starter. It doesn’t effect my life. I have no opinion pro or con. I think there should be some sort of compromise in the middle someplace. What I watched was a 15 minute clip by CNN so I would assume they would present Kamala in a positive light.

I had read that Kamala was an aggressive prosecutor, something that was unusual in California. I am all for law and order, so that is not necessarily a bad thing. Yet I found it rather duplicitous when Kamala claimed Trump was going to weaponize the Justice Department. The Democrats have already done a fine job of that!

I do remember Kamala promoting a fund (Minnesota Freedom Fund) to bail out rioters before the election. Having already been a victim of political violence, I saw it as taking names and of those are OK with political violence and making friends of them. So the question is she “Hard on crime” or “OK with political violence as a legitimate tool”.

Trump is known to make up wild stories incriminating his rivals. He does this because that is they way politics works these days. I hope that most of us are above letting a person’s enemies define them. Let them speak for themselves. Unfortunately things like false news narratives(The Steele Dossier) or the burying of real news(Hunter laptop) are often the things that shape opinion. Trump has neither the wherewithal nor the talent to produce such propaganda. Kamala should be safe from his attacks for a majority of people.

To recap, Kamala is younger and she is a much better speaker than Joe Biden. She has the party, the media and so much more on her side. Importantly she can read a teleprompter. To me she was a much better speaker than Elizabeth Warren. Most importantly she is a fresh face in our political world of grumpy old politicians. I would be very surprised if she loses.
