Kamala will always be a candidate that would never get elected. Her 1st campaign was disastrous and for her to say it was selfish is in itself being selfish because of her own ambition. So bash all you want but the hard fact is every person who runs for political office makes a PERSONAL decision
"In retrospect, I think it was recklessness. The stakes were simply too high. This wasn’t a choice that should have been left to an individual’s ego, an individual’s ambition. It should have been more than a personal decision.”
