Advisers to Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., believe that her plunge in the
polls over the summer was accelerated by a withering attack in a primary
debate in July by Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, that left the then-front-
runner reeling and donors “alarmed,” according to a new report about her
struggling presidential bid.
In a lengthy deep-dive into the California senator’s struggles on the
campaign trail, The New York Times on Friday reported that many Harris
advisers point to a July debate moment between Gabbard and the senator as
“accelerating” her decline in the polls.
In that debate in Detroit, Mich., Gabbard took aim at Harris’ record as a
prosecutor, saying she was “deeply concerned” about it.
"There are too many examples to cite but she put over 1,500 people in jail
for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when she was asked if
she ever smoked marijuana," Gabbard said.
She also blasted Harris for maintaining the cash bail system which, she
argued, disproportionately hurt poor people. Gabbard accused Harris of
keeping prisoners beyond their sentence in order to use them as "cheap
labor" as well as blocking evidence that would have "freed an innocent man
from death row."
"The bottom line is, Senator Harris, when you were in a position to make a
difference and impact in these people's lives, you did not," Gabbard
responded.
It was the latest in a series of attacks from Gabbard — and Harris'
advisers were reportedly unimpressed, especially as she had been prepped
on potential attacks on her record. Harris responded then claiming that
she had consistently fought against the death penalty and reformed the
criminal justice system.
According to the Times, several of Harris’ donors were “alarmed” and urged
the campaign to fire back at Gabbard. Harris was also aware that her
response was “insufficient,” a view “reinforced by her advisers” according
to the Times.
Harris' advisers were also frustrated at the senator’s alleged inability
to “carry a message beyond the initial script.”

According to the RealClearPolitics average of polls for the nomination,
Harris was in second place in early July, commanding an average of 15
percent of primary voters. But since then, she has declined quickly.
Now, RCP polls have her with an average of just under 4 percent — far
behind candidates such as former Vice President Joe Biden (27 percent),
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. (18.3 percent), Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.
(15.8 percent), and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg (11 percent).
Harris attemped to hit back at Gabbard this month, accusing her on
spending “the course of this campaign criticizing the Democratic Party.”
“What we need in November is someone on this stage who has the ability to
win, someone who has the ability to go toe to toe with Donald Trump, and
someone who has the ability to rebuild the Obama coalition and bring the
country back together,” Harris said.
But Gabbard hit back.
“What Senator Harris is doing, is, unfortunately, continuing to traffic in
lies and smears and innuendos because she cannot challenge the substance
of the argument that I’m making,” she said.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.
Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.
The Obama-led Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)
approved Uranium One in fall 2010. With a little luck, we'll see
compulsive liar Hillary Clinton in jail before she dies.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.
Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
