Then-Senator Kamala Harris held a Town Hall Meeting in Oakland, California, on August 30, 2017 (description and link below). She is riding on the highs she was receiving from daunting interrogation of Trump officials from the dias of various Senate committees, including the Senate's Intelligence Committee. She is without cue cards or any other type of notes, without a teleprompter, and is articulate, focused, and clear about her position on many issues across the spectrum. NO WORD SALAD. Be CAREFUL. She is NOT "dumb."

"Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) participated in a town hall in Oakland, California where she announced for the first time her plans to co-sponsor Senator Bernie Sanders' (I-VT) single-payer health care bill. She talked about the political and social tensions currently sweeping the country and answered questions on LGBTQ rights, support for public education, and the opioid crisis. She also addressed the upcoming September 5th deadline concerning the continuation of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA)."
