Jonathan Last: “I am not a Kamala Harris super fan. She is a gifted politician who has many of the assets and liabilities of normal politicians. For the hundredth time: Maybe she’d be a great president. Or a mediocre president. Or a bad president. We can’t know.”
“But she has been an exceptionally good candidate.
And in so doing she has rendered to America a great service.”“By running such an excellent campaign, Kamala Harris has disassembled our rationalizations and held up a mirror to America. When this election is over, we will not be able to retreat to comfortable illusions. She will have shown us who we really are.”
“We may not be glad that she did. But we’ll be better off for knowing.”
