Is Kamala Harris Ready?
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart
Who else? For some unknown reason, several political writers
and some Democrats are unsure about the likely nomination of Kamala Harris now
that President Biden has ended his campaign.
I feel this way. Ms. Harris is more than qualified and has
been prepared to replace the President for three-and-one-half years. That’s the
way the system is meant to work.
Kamala Harris is the choice. With just over three months
until election day, no other Democrat is prepared to replace Mr. Biden other
than the Vice-President.
THE POSITIVE SIDE
There are some very positive points in favor of Ms. Harris.
She can run on the accomplishments of the Biden
Administration. She has been part of everything since January 20, 2021. The
President’s achievements are her achievements.
Her age is of great importance. She will be 60 about a week
before the election. All the jokes have been about Mr. Biden’s age. They are
gone.
I believe America is ready for a woman president. It seems
like everyone is willing to vote for anyone other than an old, white man. It’s
way past time that America has an opportunity to experience the leadership of a
woman.
I enjoy the fact that her ethnicity is Black/Asian. Unlike
Trump, I believe that diversity is our nation’s greatest attribute.
I believe the best thing Kamala Harris will bring to the
election is excitement. Over the last year the 2024 election was of little
interest to the average American. I have great respect for the President. He
has accomplished more than any president since Bill Clinton. However, I have
followed Kamala Harris for several years, and it’s her time.
THE ONLY TACTIC REPUBLICANS CAN USE
I am waiting to see what smear tactics Republicans ill make
up to attack Ms. Harris. They cannot discuss the issues, neither Trump nor
Vance know anything about what is happening in America.
If I know Trump like I think I do, his first volley of
insults will consist of sexist remarks. He has no respect for women. For DJT
women have only one purpose. He revealed himself with affairs in all three
marriages, and the fact that he partied with Jeffrey Epstein. We know from
experience that some women may be too old for the orange buffoon, but none are
too young.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY MUST UNITE BEHIND MS. HARRIS
The answer to the question I know you are asking is, “can
she beat Trump?” I have no doubt she will be our nation’s 47th
president if nominated. However, it’s critical that the Democratic Party is
united in support of Kamala Harris.
I know she will work hard, the time is short.
I like the sound of “President Harris,” and even more the
sound of “Madam President.”
