Harris’s presentation in this CNN town hall is why I still think she’s the strongest candidate against Trump.

Still think she’s the best natural politician in the field, particularly in appealing to general election voters. https://t.co/9INpiXuXoy

After @unclelukereal1 torched Kamala in his Miami New Times column, he got a call from @Bakari_Sellers, then he took a beating from the likes of @TiffanyDCross and @jemelehill. Finally, Kamala called him herself. https://t.co/XccDdwXXM6

Campbell told me he came around on Harris’ prosecutorial record. But, more than anything else, he respected the hell out of the fact that she could call him after all the tough things he’d said about her https://t.co/XccDdwXXM6

What she’s got to overcome:
Dems left the June debate thinking, “Kamala seems really feisty and let’s look at her.” But in July debate they were turned off by Harris because “it looked like they were burning the house down, as opposed to building on what Democrats believe in.”https://t.co/k4S0AiITmO

… Harris surged from about 7% to 15% in averages of Democratic polls immediately after the first debate in late June, putting her in second or third place in the crowded field. But it was a sugar high — she’s back to the 7% she had when summer began…
“Our focus is on winning the primary, not an off-year August news cycle, which is why we’ve spent the summer building the grassroots organizing foundation that will propel Kamala to victory in this race,” Harris spokesman Ian Sams said in an email. “These races are marathons, not sprints, and Kamala is a long-distance runner.”
