She has the charisma of a rock. Let's be honest. You need some passion and likability.

He was a better candidate than the best of the best from the Democrat left.

Philip Klein thinks that the Kamala Harris post-debate "boomlet" has run its course. So, what will she do to try to reignite it? Any guesses?

Kamala Harris's post-debate boomlet has run its course

Sen. Kamala Harris soared after her strong performance following the first Democratic presidential debate, but recent polling suggests that her boomlet has run its course.

To be sure, Harris is still polling better than she was before pummeling Joe Biden in the first debate, but she's retreated from the highs she was experiencing in the immediate aftermath of that mauling. Specifically, after the debate, Harris jumped from around 7% in the RealClearPolitics average to 15%. But she subsequently sank to about 12%. A few weeks ago, it seemed as though she was surging into the second place position, now she's basically in a traffic jam with the other candidates chasing Biden -- Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. It's not a terrible place to be at this early stage in the race, but it does suggest some resistance.

Following her debate performance, Harris continued her tradition of backing off or adjusting the positions she took, most notably, on healthcare and busing, though her recent decline may have more to do with her simply getting less media attention after the initial post-debate swarm.

Trump is VERY charismatic and if you actually listened to him for a whole speech instead of manipulated sound bites from CNN, you might know that. Why do you think tens of thousands show up for his rallies?

I am sure she has some planned line coming up in next week's debates. Too bad she can't think on her feet. She giggles. It's so cute.

um... have you seen one of his rallies? and his off color comment about shooting someone and still being liked?

To the latter.... his point is well made, crude and politically incorrect, but accurate. He would be less "liked" if he was like the remaining politicians.

Yep, he's very charismatic and has a way of speaking to people at their own level, which makes his speeches and rallies very exciting.

Yes, Trump speaks to those dumbos at their own level. See, Trump is a dumbbell himself, but he’s very cunning, which fits in well with his narcissism. He loves the crowd adoration and will say anything at all to get the reaction he wants.
