Trump has really changed course on Kamala Harris being on the ticket with Biden.
Even as late as July, he had nice things to say about Harris.
Then, no sooner than she was picked to be the democrat VP running mate, Trump now changed his tune.
And he has gone after her, perhaps even more than after Biden.
Unfortunately, it does not appear that Trump's attacks on Harris are making much headway, when he calls her "nasty" even with his base of "suburban housewives."
Women don't like it when bullies call them names, and they don't like it when other women are called names or disparaged on a personal level. Trump might want to reconsider his tactics and strategies regarding Kamala Harris.
Trump weighed in on Harris' performance as a presidential contender in January 2019, around the kickoff to Democratic presidential primary campaigning season, telling The New York Times at the time that she had "the best opening so far."
"I would say in terms of the opening act, I would say, would be her," he said. "A better crowd -- better crowd, better enthusiasm."
Even as late as July, he had nice things to say about Harris.
Asked in July 2020 whether she would be a good vice presidential pick, Trump told members of the press: "I think she'd be a fine choice, Kamala Harris. She'd be a fine choice."
Then, no sooner than she was picked to be the democrat VP running mate, Trump now changed his tune.
"(S)he was very, very nasty to ... she was probably nastier than even (Sen. Elizabeth Warren) to Joe Biden," Trump said. "She was very disrespectful to Joe Biden. And it's hard to pick somebody that's that disrespectful."
And he has gone after her, perhaps even more than after Biden.
A few days later, he shared a tweet where someone is quoted as saying, "Kamala Harris is really Bernie Sanders with a skirt." He shared another one calling Harris "shameless" and "clearly willing to do anything for power."
"You know what, people don't like her. Nobody likes her. She could never be the first woman president. She could never be. That would be an insult to our country," Trump said.
