Why hasn't Trump gone after Kamala?

Ever notice that Kamala Harris is the one black woman with power Trump hasn't attacked? Did she stumble across some information while she was Attorney General?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:

She hasn't gotten the same, uh, "coverage" there, so she hasn't been as frequent a target.

If it looks like she's going to be a contender, I'm sure we'll here about it from him.

Kamala is brilliant, charismatic, progressive, empathic, funny, bi-racial and highly competent. She scares the hell out of him.

But your question gave me genuine pause:

Did she stumble across some information while she was Attorney General?

Whoa! Now that's an intriguing question. Hadn't even thought about that before. But in the bizarre times we live in? It's not out of the realm of possibilities. I was really interested in her sharp attacks against Kavanaugh during the confirmation hearing, questions which seemingly were buried in the general noise. But who knows? Maybe she was onto something that has yet to be revealed.

Inquiring minds and all that.

As you've no doubt noticed, California Trumpkins hate Senator Harris with a passion that borders on the homicidal.

You'd think their leader would take that as a cue to chime right in - but no.

She's got Cheeto's number, whatever that is (evidence of incest, perchance?).

The individual doesn't really matter. He knows that a senator from California with a very liberal voting record is an ideal target for his lies and stereotyped attacks. There is zero risk because he can't carry California anyway.

Misogyny is so real I believe Trump would prefer to face a woman again. He thinks along basic lines and often those uncomplicated variables are indeed the most logical: I already defeated a woman. I hope they nominate a woman again. Hillary was sharper and tougher than any woman they can put forth this time.

Discount that type of thing at our own risk.
