Why Harris over Warren?

[USALiberal]

They are my top two but curious why people like Harris better (if you do).

1. for me

1. I just feel Harris is more well-rounded, I think she reaches more of the electorate than any other candidate.
2. I do think, despite the fact that it shouldn't, that Warren's Native American missteps could haunt her.
3. Harris is just a smoother candidate.

Having said all of that, Warren is probably my number two right now.

12. Her AG past might sell well also. Nt

14. Indeed ... her being in law enforcement (tangentially I suppose) is a nice counter-balance

against the inevitable 'ZOMG TEH LIBERALIST MOST LEFTIST LEFT COAST MINORITY WOMAN!!?!1?' based attacks that will be coming her way (even if not explicitly leveled in those terms).

2. Why not?

3. Harris is a fighter.

Liz has thrown some good punches, but Kamala is a heavyweight.

Sorry for the boxing terms, but politics is no longer a high school debate.

15. That's not really an area I'd put Harris above Warren, personally ...

They're both fighters, but I'd argue Warren's been doing it longer, and more vocally.

We can debate effectiveness, but I don't one can fairly short-sell Warren's level of 'fight'.

I don't even think Bernie's more of a fighter than Liz, frankly.

There's better 'cases' to be made for Kamala, put it like that

4. Age and polish

...among other things.

5. A couple of reasons...

Let me start by saying that I really, really really like Elizabeth Warren.

There's a couple of strikes against her however, and both of them are unfair IMHO....but they're out there and will be used against her. I think her age is a factor. ....Do I think she's too old? NO, I don't, but others will and do think that.

2nd, the extremely disgusting "Pocahontas" insults thrown constantly at her by the Tangerine Twatwazzle have hurt her. It totally sucks, it's unfair and it's well out of order, but it is what it is. False caca flung by Trump that has stuck.

All that said....I could just as easily be decided for Warren at this point and can see myself supporting her....but I think Kamala Harris is fresher and has just as much fire in the belly as Elizabeth has always had.

It really is going to be a tough decision to pick one candidate out of such a good field of them this time.

So far I've only ruled out Sanders, Gabbard, Gillibrand and Biden. I need to examine and vet the rest more before committing totally to one.

7. hmmmm, you mean Schultz is still under consideration.....................

I AM ONLY JOKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

13. Thank you! Nt

6. Warren is a bit too anti-business for my taste...

[katmondoo]

9. I like Warren's passion

[comradebillyboy]

10. Warren is very good indeed, just not my top choice. nt

8. Where she places emphasis, and electability.

I think we'll see record-breaking Democratic turnout if Harris is our nominee. For one thing, she's incredibly charismatic.

[MiniMe]

11. Personality

[lillypaddle]

16. Harris is younger

And I think she has a better chance of beating the orange one. And FWIW, I just really LIKE her.

[TeamPooka]

17. Harris will generate a huge turnout that will be larger than 2008. Getting

the African American community back to the voting booth is vital.
In 2016 there were 1.3 million less African Americans in the electorate than in 2008.

[CTyankee]

18. I think Trump is afraid of her...

[scheming daemons]

19. Electability. Period.

Harris would do better against Trump.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

20. Less baggage.

And , yes, it absolutely sucks when candidates are unfairly caricatured but we have to take the electorate as it is and not how we would like it to be.
