Compared to what is in office now, yes. Compared to what could have been in office, no.

What could have been in office was mentored by Biden. That was an unnecessy thing to say about an unproven theory.

Sorry but I lived in NorCal while she was the state AG so have a reasonable view of her capabilities, as do most Californians. . If there was a primary I don’t believe she would have won. And I didn’t see a whole lot of mentoring going on.

VPs do a lot of domestic meet and greet events not often handling or included in the bigger issues. Biden gave Harris a lot of international opportunities. Thereby making her personally known to world leaders. Biden gave Harris the experience and insight into foreign affairs she lacked. Harris...

... was sent to Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Poland, Romania, Ukraine, Africa, Singapore, France, and many b other countries to represent the U.S. along with world summits and conferences. Biden introduced Harris to world leaders. There is no argument in Washington on either side of the aisle...

A diplomat's passport reveals global engagement far better than partisan debates could ever obscure.

Yes. In diplomacy the learning and knowing is in the doing. Biden prepped Harris well.

I would give her a grade of C+, B- if I was being generous. That’s just not good enough. Plus, she really had no charisma - it all seemed very forced.

That's your opinion which you're entitled to. But your grade is meaningless and incorrect as her diplomatic missions were successful. That's what counts.

Well, that’s your opinion and you’re entitled to it. The fact that Biden did not step down earlier deprived the Dems of the best option. It may have been Harris, I’m not on board with that. And no, I don’t believe the AOCs of the party are the way forward. At least not now.

...that Joe Biden has the most knowledge and experience in Foreign Relations. That is one way Biden mentored Harris among others. Harris acknowledges this - so should you.
