Vice President Joe Biden picked Kamala Harris for many reasons, but the most important may be her ability to go toe-to-toe with Trump, Pence, et. al. Trump ramped up the rhetoric by calling her angry, mad, nasty, radical, phony and mean. He is wearing out his thesaurus. (N.B. He doesn’t own one.) Eric Trump endorsed a Tweet calling her a “whorerendous pick.” Let that sink in, Trump supporters. It’s only a matter of time until Trump will be asking for her birth certificate. (I actually wrote this a day before Trump did exactly that.).
Harris will not respond to these puerile and dishonest comments in kind. With surgical precision, she will eviscerate Trump, Pence, and anyone else, who chooses to engage in dishonest behavior and endorse wrong-headed positions. She will question, follow up, and demand answers as she did with Barr and Kavanaugh. She will not settle for political gobbledygook. Trump will attack her via press conference and Twitter, but will never have the guts to attack her directly. Pence has the unenviable job of having to go up against her face-to-face. Harris is ready to go toe-to-toe.
