Is this Kamala’s version of ‘many people are saying’? Does she think people actually believe this, or is she just her best effort at trying to convince people that she really WAS a great candidate?
On a podcast with Kara Swisher, Kamala, after talking up her CV (but presumably leaving out the role played by one Willie Brown in launching her career) made the unintentionally hilarious claim that some people say that she is the most qualified candidate ever to run for office as President.
Kamala: “Some people have said I was the most qualified candidate ever to run for president."

Even Swisher can’t help but comment on her use of ‘some people say’.
It could be argued that she’s not even the most qualified woman to run for the Presidency, let alone the most qualified candidate. The only Presidential primary in which she actually ran ended in failure roughly 2 months before the Iowa primary, without a single ballot passed in her support. The ‘no kings’ party showed their true colors by running interference for Joe, blocking would-be primary challengers from, well, challenging him, until he imploded on the debate stage and the party machine swapped her out for him without so much as a how-do-you-do to any Democrat primary voters. [So, have fun with your little ‘no kings’ party, this week-end, Dems. You’re not fooling anyone, we all know who you REALLY are.]
Sure she was Senator long enough to harass Jeff Sessions and to vilely defame Justice Kavanaugh and get chosen as the black woman Joe promised as a running mate… probably before giving any thought to who it might be. And others have dragged her for her record in California politics.
But is she REALLY the most qualified President?
Let’s take a quick look at who she’s comparing herself against. Sure she was a senator, but that’s a dime-a-dozen among elected Presidents. And she’s hardly unique in being a Veep before a presidential run. Hell even sad sack Al Gore had THAT much going for him.
Her resume might be deeper than, say Obama’s was when he rocketed out of relative obscurity. But a lot of Presidents have been either a Governor or a Senator. If we’re being honest, Governor is much closer to the Executive role of President than Senator ever would be, even if being in the Senate gives an understanding of how the sausage is made at the federal level.
But a quick look down the list:
HW Bush was Veep, CIA director, UN Ambassador, WWII Navy Pilot
Nixon was Veep, Senator, Congressman and WWII Navy officer.
LBJ never actually ran, but he was Senate Majority leader. That alone trumps mere ‘senator’.
IKE was ‘merely’ the Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, for whatever THAT is worth.
Wilson was a disaster, but he was head of Princeton and Governor of NJ
Grant? Commanding General of the Union Army in the Civil War
We’ve got a whole whack of military brass from the echelons… Major Generals and the like
And on the civil service side, we’ve got ambassadors, secretaries of state, and heads of department all over the place
And then you’ve got a couple of guys named ‘Adams’, a Jefferson, a ‘Madison’, and some guy named Washington whose foremost claim to fame seems to have been… basically the fact that he was a living legend.
Yeah. I’m sure people are tripping over themselves to tell Kamala she’s the bestest and most qualified candidate of ever.
Just like that guy in junior high has a girlfriend from camp. But yeah… you wouldn’t know her, she’s from Canada.
Unless of course its coming from the consultant class who think they can soak her for some easy money if she does decide to run again.
