At the risk of seeming pro-Harris (I'm not), they definitely are/were.
They should have spent 4 years preparing to make her president. Or failing that just a better Vice-President. Yes she is weird and also likely benzo addicted. But you can smooth that out, you Pygmalion/King's Speech her. Get in the best stylists, vocal coaches, speech writer etc. Give her lots of PR softball wins to make her seem good.
Biden's brain is rotting day by day, he is getting worse. There's a chance Harris could get better. For Dems winning of course, not any meaningful change politically.
Plus if she was running for President you could find a strong appearing white male Vice-President to back her up (like they did Obama with Biden)
I think that was the plan from the beginning, but she's too much of an unlikeable and mercurial freakbomb. there have been multiple stories of "shakeups" on her staff seeming to point to her being atrocious to people who aren't sycophants.
I think they were imagining one term for Joe and that she could be groomed to step in, but that dream died hard and now the party is stuck in a corner, trying to keep Joe animated until they can find someone with better likeability numbers than "a fresh turd you just slipped on"
Yeah it seems like Klobuchar would have been the much better option for the Dems, had she not been directly linked to Derek Chauvin being able to kill George Floyd from acquitting him on a previous abuse of power he had done. She was probably equally megalomaniacal and strange in her own way, but you got the impression she ran a tight ship.
Klobuchar? The fucking salad haircomb person?
Yeah the hair salad comb person who also posted feet as bait. I'm not saying she was good, normal or even a decent candidate, just probably better than Harris for the dems.
Wait she posted feet pics? ... Were they any good?

hell no Klobuchar is scary and even less likeable, at least Kamala kind of has a personality. remember when she gave that story about killing a duck, or how she threw staplers at staffers? she's like pete buttigieg but even less charisma
I must stress when I say better, I'm not saying that she's morally better, or not a complete sociopath. But just saying for the Dems it might be better for them (winning and staying in power for multiple elections) to have an ambitious duck killer waiting in the wings whose ready to put a pillow on Joe's face and assume the presidency than Kamala.
But then again the Dems love to eat shit so this is probably fine for them.
Like going into the 2024 you could be like we're the party of the future, the Republicans are stuck in the past with their old loser. You could also distance her from anything Joe Biden does badly (like Palestine) and share credit with him for things like the inflation reduction act.
