Vice President Kamala Harris gave the public its first real look into her nascent presidential campaign with a stop at her organizationā€™s headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware on Monday night.

Harrisā€™ first applause line came when she discussed her background as California attorney general and as a courtroom prosecutor.

ā€œIn those roles, I took on perpetrators of all kinds,ā€ she said, earning cackles while she beamed, clearly enjoying the joke. ā€œPredators who abused women. Fraudsters who ripped off consumers. Cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. So hear me when I say, I know Donald Trumpā€™s type.ā€

    Thatā€™s whatā€™s needed. The older boomer republicans (not die hard MAGAā€™s, thereā€™s a lot more of the at least rational ones out there) need to see her wipe the floor with him with facts and tough questions he outright lies to, to have a chance of changing their vote.

      With respect, anyone who would vote for Trump probably isnā€™t worth spending time convincing. Some of them might come around, but if she has one, Kamalaā€™s value will be in getting undecided and first time voters to the polls. One of the most popular choices every election is ā€œnot going to voteā€
