Kamala seriously sucks. She has done nothing during her time as vice president. One of her only jobs was to control the border, and she didn't even do that. In fact, she only visited it once, only to pose in front of it for a photo. Horrible book written by a horrible person. She was the mistress of an affair and stumble over her own words. To say she knows all about it is a complete and utter lie.

information was learned I have been a teacher and a guard/ instructor in our penal system. Kamala Harris shows a great grasp of the problems and excellent ideas on fixing the system. I believe that she has the wisdom and competence to fill any leadership role and that she has problem solving abilities, which will help our world!

SMART IN CRIME? San Francisco is a laughing stock - it's a "criminal friendly" city now. The poor way she handled that infamous dog case had me against her!
