I agree that Kamala does not come across as very astute, to say the least. However, I think it may be something in addition to that. I've read/heard some folks close to her/on her staff in CA and in DC that say she's just plain lazy. Would show up at meetings when AG in CA 30 minutes late, look bored and leave early. From what I've read, some of her staffers have been extremely disappointed that she won't listen to the daily briefing, opting to have a 1-page summary instead, will not honestly prepare for a speech/debate/interview, just won't do much of anything. Her campaign speeches are almost word for word the same at every stop. Almost all of her communications are very strictly scripted, on a teleprompter, etc. Her handlers do NOT allow her to speak off the cuff because they know she's too lazy to know any real facts and the word salad that spews forth in lieu of any real contact is ripe for derision. Of course, being black and a woman, no one is going to call her out without severe consequences. But, moving from Sleepy Joe who has spent 1/3 of his 'presidency' on vacation to Kamala who won't do the work seems like a path fraught with danger.
