I’ll save you some time. Reasons are bolded and it’s as simple as that
The reality is that millions of people are going to vote for the Dem ticket to keep Trump out of office, so your framing of the question ignores that reality.
But anyway, I’ve enlisted AI to help answer your question.

Failed- did not meet parameters.
But #3. Give me a break. Will likely be the reason she loses.
Lmao...........Her record in California is meaningless. So she wins her state, big deal! Federally, Zero Bills passed in the Senate, Zero accomplishments as V.P. Trump eats her alive in the swing states. Nice try.
Bottom line - an intelligent and talented politician replacing Biden would be a real concern for folks who want trump to win.
And I will totally agree with the chat Dems - Biden being replaced was not good news for republicans. It was literally 100 percent odds that Trump would have won.
That said, Kamala is not talented. She has everything going for her in terms of the boxes that need to be checked. But that’s the problem. Those boxes are the reason she is where she is. She has terrible political chops. Which is why she is so famously unpopular.
She is not senile which gives her a fighting chance. But she’s simply not a talented politician. Unless she becomes something she’s never been overnight it will be the same landslide it would have been against Biden. Also - don’t underestimate the fact that a lot of older Biden supporters do not like Kamala. And won’t vote for her.

10. She locked up a lot of black guys for smoking pot, but it’s legal in California now. Wonder if they ever got out.
So her number 1 cause in California was passing legislation to punish lynch mobs, ...while mob rule exists in Myanmar, Cambodia and Afghanistan nowadays, I don't think public hangings happen too much today in the USA, mostly private hangings by people who take their own life which would be a real cause
AI generated number 1 cause of harris as VP was her stance to deny human rights of people to have guns,...but also defunding police, releasing criminals domestically, and accepting international criminals at the border,...I can anticipate her next agenda will be to ban blades over 3 inches and pepper spray,...which would be consistent with a platform of being anti-human
IMO, the current iteration of DJT will give Kamala a lot of opportunity to shine. This is not 2016 or even 2020 Trump and while I know you refuse to admit it, he is suffering from some of the same age-related challenges that Biden is. It's not as severe, but it is definitely a factor and the compare and contrast between the two candidates will highlight that.
You're supporting Trump and talking IQ, morals and integrity. That's a joke.
And I wouldn't be proud of Trump's sexual history. Even without the question of him and Epstein.
I think you need new material.
You excited about President Kamala Harris? You like how all of it went down? Keep an eye out for Joe B. He may be the single most motivated person to take her ass down. Her winning would be a huge shot to his and his family’s ego. He got got.
Totally disagree on the trump mental capacity issue. Dude is as natural a retail politician as you’ll see. Will admit some of his following is cultish and uncomfortable but that doesn’t happen by accident. Like it or not dude has the chops and if he were at least a tiny bit less polarizing he would beat anyone. Hasn’t lost a step at all.
“Border Czar “ thats never even been to the border
That would be like Kirby Smart never coaching a football game in Sanford Stadium
Really f’d up …she’s a real hands own leader …lol
You really think Biden is going to be working against Kamala? I think you'll be disappointed if that's your assumption. I also think you are making a ton of other assumptions that aren't going to turn out to be accurate. Trump's age is going to stand out in very stark contrast to his opponent, now that it isn't an eighty-one-year-old dude.
Given what the choice was as of last week, I'm extremely excited about Harris and the Dem prospects for a wide-ranging victory.
Just grasping at any straw we can now I guess...
grasping at straws before they're banned , am I right?
I don't care about unity, but I do care about a secure border,the economy, national security, laws being enforced, & jobs based on merit not DEI. These are but a few of the more pressing problems that our nation faces. The left, by the way, are on the wrong side of all these issues plus dozens more! It is very obvious to me that the good Lord has a great sense of humor, he put Libs on earth so he would have something to laugh about! I'd imagine the Lord chuckles every time he looks at Biden & Kamala!
