'California Sen. Kamala Harris should never have run for president in the first place. Her ambition far exceeded her ability,' writes columnist LATimesSkelton.

OK, I admit it: A column I wrote three months ago was a real loser.

When that scenario didn’t seem to be working out, Harris belatedly began focusing on the first contest in Iowa. The senator was failing there, too, when she pulled the plug. “She was all over the map on healthcare and criminal justice,” the insider said of the former San Francisco district attorney. “Was she a prosecutor or a public defender? It wouldn’t have made much difference which role she decided, but she started bouncing around to be all things to all people. Voters instinctively understand your heart’s not in it.”

Anyone who watched Harris as attorney general could have predicted this outcome. She refused to take positions on any state ballot proposition. Her excuse was that the attorney general writes the official ballot titles and summaries, and she didn’t want to appear biased. But that was nonsense. She was trying to avoid making political enemies, especially among law enforcement.

Most unacceptable was her refusal to take a stand on two propositions to abolish the death penalty, a cause that she claimed to have long supported. The measures narrowly lost. She also remained neutral on an initiative to expedite the death penalty. It passed. And she didn’t take a position on a measure to reduce prison sentences, which passed.Yet, Harris leaped into the presidential race promising to be a “fighter for the people.” Clearly that message was gleaned from focus groups.

LATimesSkelton I disagree. If Trump can be president, then absolutely anyone on planet earth can be president as well.

LATimesSkelton This is disgracefull, she was the best candidate we ever had.

LATimesSkelton I’m sorry but this is nonsense & wouldn’t have been said of a man. Buttigeig wasn’t known & definitely had not excelled at his mayor job, for example.

LATimesSkelton Oh really

LATimesSkelton wtf. It was her first time running for President unlike other people in the race. Jeez.

LATimesSkelton Who the hell asked you?

LATimesSkelton This is the reason why America is going backwards.

LATimesSkelton You’re wrong

LATimesSkelton How can this LATimesSkelton say that her ambition exceeded her ability & DONALD fing TRUMP is the president. A laughingstock b4 the world, who cannot express a coherent policy initiative. What type of ability is needed to be president?

LATimesSkelton Awful. Imagine all the responses from men to this column on who is qualified for the Presidency. 🙄 Do better LAT Opinion, this ain't it.

LATimesSkelton 😢😢😢 Do what you do best HERE COMES THE JUDGE ! Judge 👩🏻‍⚖️🇺🇸🇺🇸 Sometimes you’ll get better results😀

LATimesSkelton It had to be said.

LATimesSkelton Uhhhh no doubt

LATimesSkelton She is unqualified and self destruction was predictable. Her aspirations were bigger than her worth.

LATimesSkelton I believe that is totally wrong. She ran for insight and publicity. Now that she has that much experience, expect her to be the front runner in 2024.

LATimesSkelton We literally have a reality tv host as president. There is no bar anymore.

LATimesSkelton PeterPrinciple

LATimesSkelton Waste of time.

LATimesSkelton I would agree with that. She's not a bad person. Her thoughts were always random and all over the place. I know she wanted rights for people like me and women. She didn't seem to care about anyone else though. She just wasn't Presidential. Nothing personal.

LATimesSkelton If she were more savvy she would have maintained good relations with Biden and would be in a prime position to be the VP. Now she's got nothing. She has proven herself to be a toxic candidate.

LATimesSkelton RIP LATimesSkelton mentions - this should’ve been written no sooner than after the primaries 🤦🏿‍♂️

LATimesSkelton Stupid take

LATimesSkelton What a farce. Equating her dropping out as a failure of ambition or ability, ok.

LATimesSkelton That walk from the past pulled up and sat down.

LATimesSkelton She wasn’t relatable and not well liked nationally. She also is not even close to genuine

LATimesSkelton Considering that she has spent half of her time as a 1st term senator running for President I hope the voters remember this when SenKamalaHarris is up for re-election. This failed campaign shows she cares more about herself than the people who elected her to represent them.

LATimesSkelton She dropped out, why are you still dunking on her? Way to beat a dead horse.

LATimesSkelton oh please....if trump can become president, anyone can...

LATimesSkelton I sincerely hope this is exactly what you’re going to write about Mayo Pete.

LATimesSkelton IKR 👍🏻 ICYMI:

LATimesSkelton Yeah that's what we teach out kids, don't take any chances and definitely don't do anything that might be risk.

LATimesSkelton I like the way she eats pork.

LATimesSkelton

LATimesSkelton Here comes the idiot 🙄

LATimesSkelton George Shelton can fick off.

LATimesSkelton George Skelton sounds like that last member of a mean girl clique, piling on after the damage is done.

LATimesSkelton That's the truth! Finally.
