5 of 17. Kamala Harris has never had to legitimately win anything in her life
Harris has never had to win an election that wasn't demographically rigged and with the full support of an overwhelming political machine. Her entire career was within California, a single party state, with the backing of powerful interests. When she had to win something on her own when she tried to become the presidential candidate in 2020, she failed in her presidential candidacy in 2020 before anyone else, so was essentially appointed to the vice presidency on Joe Biden's victory. The Biden administration has kept her hidden away for 3 and a half years because they know she's unlikable and looks poor to the public.
When you run for president you have an establishment behind you, but so does your opponent. You don't have an automatic demographic advantage -- there have been Republican presidents and Democrat presidents, and the winner needed to win over not just the base but the center swing voters. All of this bodes very poorly for someone who has never had to win a contest like that.
