Sam, judging insincerity in a candidate is problematic to me, given that it depends on the eye of the beholder. For my part, Kamala Harris does not come off as insincere; like Hillary, she is stuck with baggage as a woman in a position of power - damned if she does show inklings of personality (and Harris is reportedly very warm one-on-one) and damned if she doesn’t (cold, too earnest, insincere). To my mind, the focus needs to be on how to beat Trump. As a former prosecutor and member of Senate Judiciary Committee, she has chops there - as you say, if she and the Dems can stick to that message, she could be successful. I’d rather root for her success than pick apart the problems before we know how this will play out.
