Kamala Harris is fine if black liberal women in positions of power doesn’t bother you.

What about her abysmal prosecutor record of arresting parents for child truancy?

So you're soft on crime?

 

[ChickenTendies]

So you're soft on crime?

No, that's just unnecessarily cruel when you have no idea of the underlying circumstances within the household or whether its even under the parent's control. It doesn't solve truancy either.

 

[NolanVoyd]

No.

She will rank as the worst.

She's already there and building her lead.

Why?

 

[Hamish Howl]

So this is where we all get weepy and blame society?

Aaron Burr
The nation’s third vice president had his strengths: he has been hailed as “one of the best presiding officers the Senate has ever seen.” Unfortunately, his political gifts were dwarfed by his role in two of the biggest scandals ever to strike the office. In an 1804 duel in Weehawken, N.J., Burr shot and killed former Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton, a Founding Father and Federalist Papers author held in sufficiently high regard that his image graces the $10 bill. That episode torpedoed Burr’s career — he was indicted for murder and fled to the South — but the former lawyer wasn’t done making mischief. In 1807, he was charged with treason for allegedly masterminding a plot to attack the Spanish colony of Mexico; some claimed he also planned to liberate the Union’s Western states in order to form his own empire. At his trial, Burr subpoenaed President Thomas Jefferson, who — in an early example of executive privilege — refused to testify. Burr was later acquitted.

Dan Quayle
Bush’s choice of 41-year-old Indiana Senator J. Danforth Quayle as his running mate shocked the political establishment, which had expected the longtime diplomat to pick someone more seasoned. Quayle didn’t help his case by refusing to release his academic records.But it was the dreaded “potatoe” incident that did Quayle in. While visiting a school in Trenton, NJ, a student was asked to write the word ‘potato’ on the blackboard and Quayle urged him to add an ‘e’ to the end. The entire nation held its belly in laughter.

Richard B. Cheney
Having served as a Congressman, White House Chief of Staff, Secretary of Defense and the CEO of oil and gas giant Halliburton, Cheney came to the White House with among the most formidable resumes of any vice president. Harnessing his intimate knowledge of the Capitol’s back alleys, Cheney emerged as the bare-knuckled architect — or, in the eyes of some, the shadowy puppetmaster — behind many of the administration’s most controversial policies. Cheney led the charge in calling for the invasion of Iraq, based on the misleading claim that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction; curtailed domestic civil liberties; and pressed to limit restrictions on the treatment of enemy combatants. Critics alleged he played a role in the 2003 leak that outed then CIA operative Valerie Plame; his former chief of staff, I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, was convicted of perjury and obstruction of justice for making false statements during the investigation of the incident. The bellicose veep also swore at a colleague during a Senate class photo and, adding injury to insult, delighted his detractors by accidentally shooting a hunting partner in the face.

John C. Calhoun
Though he initially aspired to the nation’s highest office, John Calhoun quickly learned to settle for — and even strive to be — number two. He was so intent on the Vice Presidency that before the election of 1824 he offered his support to both John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson, who were running against each other. When Adams won, Calhoun filled the office proudly, despite the fact that he was adamantly pro-slavery while Adams was a Northern abolitionist. In fact, he later became known as the “Arch Nullifier” for his ill-conceived proposal to allow any one state to nullify an Act of Congress — effectively an effort to protect slavery in the South. (It was rejected by Northerners and Southerners alike.) When Jackson won the following election, Calhoun continued to serve as Vice President. But he seemed to forget the cardinal rule of the second-most-powerful job in the land — keep your boss happy — and his relationship with Jackson hit the rocks over Calhoun’s decision to ostracize a Washington woman accused of adultery. The social boycott so irked Jackson — a fierce defender of the lady in question — that he fired his entire cabinet and booted Calhoun as well.

America's Worst Vice Presidents

Yikes. If this article were submitted as a paper in a political science class it should have been returned covered in red ink and a large D.

While he was reviled and hated, Dick Cheney was one of the most active and effective Vice Presidents in history. He should be on the list of best VPs in history. Quayle, while not a good VP was also not a bad one, comparable to Joe Biden complete with verbal gaffs. Where is the paragraph on Spiro Agnew who was forced to resign?

Absolute poppycock.

Candoleezza Rice was fine....better than fine....she was great.

Kamala Harris is just another example of how this country can survive incompetence in high places.

Rice isn’t liberal. The combination of liberal, black and female is an unholy triumvirate for conservatives. It drives them insane, although liberal and female is usually enough to do the trick.

 

[HikerGuy83]

Why?

The Washington Post recently spoke with 18 current and former Harris staffers. Their assessment was uninspiring, to say the least. “It’s clear that you’re not working with somebody who is willing to do the prep and the work,” one ex-staffer said in the scathing Dec. 4 piece. “With Kamala you have to put up with a constant amount of soul-destroying criticism and also her own lack of confidence. So you’re constantly sort of propping up a bully and it’s not really clear why.”

Incompetent Kamala Harris is even worse than you think

During the election, I wrote a column warning voters that Kamala Harris isn’t ready to be president should she be needed to replace Joe Biden in the big chair if elected.

Which isn't surprising given her personality.

Her performance during the ACB hearings (when she was a senator from the state (that is great at putting total morons in charge) of California was beyond abysmal.

I don't recall bringing her politics into it.

She's a failure. That she is a left-wing (not liberal) failure isn't my problem.

 

[Lovebug]

And the verdict is in.






YES! She’s a complete and unmitigated abject failure.

============

Historians and polling companies love to provide their assessments of past presidents, and to a lesser extent vice presidents. While it is still early in her tenure – so there’s a chance she’ll make a comeback – let’s just say those future assessments of Vice President Kamala Harris’s job performance will likely not be kind.
It’s remarkable, since the U.S. Constitution gives the vice president almost no duties to fail at — and yet failing she is.

Will Kamala Harris rank as one of the worst VPs in history?

Social media is having a field day compiling her word-salad speeches and making them available for everyone to snicker at

thehill.com

The verdict is in before all the facts? You heard it here first.
Now back to more important issues.

 

[craig]

She's a moron.

Plain and simple.

She has no clue what's going on around her.

She can't project anything but incompetence.

But you are also saying that about President Biden and he is undoubtable the best President of the last 50 years.

 

[choiceone]

Veeps are mostly inconsequential. It's pretty tough to decide who's worst, best, or middle-of-the-road. Just like it's hard to tell which pile of crap smells the worst.

Actually, it's easy to say who's the best VP, because, ordinarily, VPs do nothing. One VP did: Al Gore.
Clinton wanted to streamline the Federal Government and get rid of offices with overlapping functions.
He put Gore in charge of that to lower the cost, and Gore actually did that job and lowered the cost of the federal gov't significantly. I don't know of any other VP who actually put in full-time work days like that.

 

[Cardinal]

I don't recall bringing her politics into it.

But I did. Harris is liberal and Rice isn’t. And I specifically stated that liberal was one of the essential ingredients for driving conservatives completely insane, especially if the person in question is black, and especially super duper insane if the person in question is female. So if you have have a strongly negative opinion of Harris, you’re insane.

She's a failure. That she is a left-wing (not liberal) failure isn't my problem.

 

[Phys251]

No.

She will rank as the worst.

She's already there and building her lead.

Righties will always say that the current Democratic President and VP are the worst.

Harris isn't liberal.

And your logic is self-serving. Meaning it isn't logical at all.

Some documentation would be nice.

I never liked Al Gore, but give credit where credit is due.

And BTW: I know he didn't claim to invent the internet.

So why should she resign?

Trump didn't.

Trump was not "somebody who is willing to do the prep and the work,” “With [Trump] you have to put up with a constant amount of soul-destroying criticism ...... So you’re constantly sort of propping up a bully and it’s not really clear why.”

You weren't calling for his resignation were you,?

Well let the people who worked with her tell us how it's going.

Oh wait....they did.
