Kamala Harris is really taking it to Trump on Rachel Maddow

26. I believe the opposite.

I think that Trump might want Harris to become the nominee because of her lack of experience in the private sector, her lack of experience with foreign policy (not that Trump had any himself except for the deals brokered with the Russians, Saudis, Israelis, etc.), her lack of experience on economic policy, and that the election would come down to racial issues which would rally Trump's base. I also do not see her flipping any of the states that Trump won in 2016 which makes me wonder if she can be elected.

I do believe that Harris is a great prosecutor and senator, but those skills do not equate to being a great president or being able to promote or negotiate legislation. While I know that she hasn't been able to accomplish much in this area because Republicans controlled the Senate since she was elected to office, I'm aware of only one idea that Harris has only put forward (setting up the fund to help promote housing for minorities) since she began her campaign. I'd like to see her take the lead on more proposals than being a follower or indecisive like she has shown on occasions.

Harris had the advantage in the first debate since everyone wanted to attack the front-runner. It will be interesting to see how well she defends her positions now that she has garnered more attention. There is plenty of time for her to make a case and change my impression of her, but there are a few candidates that I would put ahead of her at this particular instance in time.

Good luck to her and to all of the other candidates.
