Oh no! Just when we got Maya Rudolph’s attention…

I can’t wait until she replaces Barr as Attorney General.

2 down yesterday, 1 down today. So far.

And these are folks who would make good Presidents.

It’s a shame her campaign couldn’t live up to the hype. I’ve never run or been a part of a political campaign but I imagine there is some amount of luck involved.

Sen. Harris is a great politician and a superstar. No one else in the Senate has her legal chops. She will continue to do great things for our country there.

I too supported her candidacy for POTUS, but this just wasn’t her year. I continue to think she would be an amazing Attorney General in a future Democratic administration and would have both the the guts and the skills to clean up the Trump kleptocracy and all the complicit GOP politicians that support it.

Thank you, Kamala, for your service !

I’ve been getting a real mansplainin’ vibe from certain late entries into the primary. Like, people got worried about the womenfolk getting too close for comfort, and not trusting Joe Biden to hold that possibility in check.

Maybe I’m wrong. But it’s like literally the worst lesson to draw from 2016, that the country isn’t ready for a woman president.

I’m somewhat surprised she’s bowing out now, and I’m somewhat disappointed that she failed to gain and sustain traction when we still have clowns like Yang and Steyer taking up air.

Credit for seeing the writing on the wall.

I gave Harris some money early on because I wanted to hear more from her. I think she’s talented, but this wasn’t her year for various reasons. Where ever she ends up, be it staying in the Senate or taking a position in the next Dem administration, I’m sure she will do good work.

She might have some problems with her campaign, but there’re lessons for people to learn with regard to media coverage and the society’s inherent bias. Not much has changed since 2016.

Before the campaigns got started, she was my first choice. But here is where I am now with all of this: I do not give one shit who the nominee is as long as they can beat Trump. That’s it - don’t care which Democrat wins. It will be a Democrat and not Trump and that’s good enough.

She was having trouble capturing the African American community. Could be a good VP pick

There were problems from the beginning of her campaign but the media was very, unfairly in my opinion, tough on her. She can try again in the future.

Nevertheless, l’m looking forward to Attorney General Kamala Harris – in the coming Democratic administration – prosecuting the soon-to-be-kicked-to-the-curb Trump Crime Family.

And she’s just the kind of don’t-give-me-any-of-that-crap lady to do it.

Hammer. And. Tong.

VP for what reason? She’s got AG written all over her.

Yeah it was, especially after we saw her campaign intake…sadly you need $$$$$ to run for anything in this country.

With Harris dropping out My Top 5 is down to a Top 3 (Beto being the other dropout). Come on Warren, Klobuchar and Booker!

Sadly, I think Booker is next.

I’m not condoning the attitude, but recognizing the reality. Hillary Clinton was as strong and capable a presidential candidate as this country has seen in a long time, and yet, the majority of white women in this country supported The Orange Catastrophe.

Maybe she will have learned something this time around and can give it a try again in a less crowded field. I think it would have been tough for her to be the nominee and god forbid if the criminal in chief beat her.

^ You can thank Fox News for that.

What a goddamn shame. I thought she could do it.
