Well said.
Is Kamala’s Running-Out-the-Clock Campaign Running Out?
Everyone knows Kamala Harris is not really a presidential candidate. She will not do normal network interviews, town-halls, or press conferences.
Nor will she review or defend in any detail her proposed agendas.
Nor will she explain why as an incumbent Vice-President—serving an absentee near-senile President—she has not implemented any of her “way forward” policies. She could have done so in the six months that remained on her term since her coronation.
Nor will she outline as a self-described joy and change candidate what exactly went wrong the last four Biden-Harris years that she would apparently like to undo.
Nor will she review how and why in a matter of hours she reinvented herself from being the most radical Vice President in memory (with the hardest left voting record in the 100-person Senate) to good ol’ Kamala, the centrist pragmatist, who grew up struggling in Oakland.
So, the campaign was always about whether she could pull off these artifices, delusions and stonewalling for her aborted 90-day candidacy—and thus run out the clock.
All that is the logical finish to a two-time presidential candidate who has never entered much less won a single primary or a single delegate by voting.
The last two weeks’ events suggest the ruse may not last—as even historically warped polls show that she is ever so slowly starting to fade in the swing states.
Harris’s last two T-ball interviews—deliberately given off network primetime—one with three sympathetic reporters from the National Association of Black Journalists, and the other with an embarrassingly obsequious Oprah, were still word-salad disasters. Both the hosts and Harris left the embarrassments seemingly miffed.
And to the extent her sappy Kindergarten replies entered the public domain, they helped to explain why her prior “win” in the debate slowly eroded post facto into a likely loss.
Harris just skipped out of the Al Smith Dinner, the first time a presidential candidate had refused in 40 years—since the last Democrat and 1984 losing candidate Walter Mondale was also a no-show.
That absence from the New York City Catholic Diocese charity-sponsored event did enter the news—only as still more public confirmation that she will not do any venues where there is a slight possibility of even brief impromptu remarks.
Her September incumbent surprises were too transparent—whether the Fed’s “timely” cutting the interest rate, or, more blatantly, flying in Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky on a military transport to a munitions factory in swing-state and likely election-deciding Pennsylvania—all timed roughly to the beginning of the state’s early and mail-in voting.
The election-interfering Zelensky no sooner hit the ground than he dove into the U.S. election by crudely trashing Harris's opponents.
Zelensky essentially labeled Trump clueless and Vance explicitly “dangerous” and “radical”—just a few days after a pro-Ukrainian would-be assassin tried to murder Trump, in part over his supposed reluctance to support blank-check aid to Ukraine.
Somehow the more Zelensky jabbered on in interviews and addresses, the more he managed to damage both the Harris and Ukraine cause.
Meanwhile, slowly but steadily, videos of Harris’s past performance-art radical activism now appear near daily.
The latest was the erstwhile border czar’s prior juvenile shouting at a 2018 open-border Los Angeles protest, in the company of the soon to be exposed fraud Jussie Smollett. Both were leading demonstrations to stop deportations (“Down, down with deportation!”).
The image of Smollett-Harris also reminds of her past shoot-from-the-hip defense of that utter fraud and racial huckster in a tweet—one that is still proudly up: “This was an attempted modern-day lynching. No one should have to fear for their life because of their sexuality or color of their skin. We must confront this hate.”
Stuff adds up, insidiously so: the newfound border-security advocate Harris now has been exposed in past videos calling for the de facto abolishment of the border patrol, mass amnesties, no deportations, no wall, and free health care for illegal immigrants.
So far, she had stayed even due to a huge lead in corporate, tech, and entertainment billionaire giving, her fusion with the fawning media, the power of the Biden-Harris administration to give away free stuff, drain the strategic petroleum reserve, cancel more student loan debt, lower interest rates, etc.— and the abbreviated campaign season.
Still, Harris wears badly and rapidly.
And if she loses?
The leftwing rah-rah, celebratory narratives of how a supposedly ruthless Pelosi deposed the primary-elected nominee and incumbent President Joe Biden with tough threats to leave the easy way or face a hard-way exit—while quashing any idea of an open convention— may be rebranded as an enormous blunder.
Whereas a non-compos-mentis Biden could be squirrelled away out of sight given his age and busybody Jill’s surrogate roles, Harris is young, supposedly dynamic and neither has a 2020 Covid-19 quarantine cover nor any age-related excuse for her current stealth campaign—other than her growing paranoia about opening her mouth without a prepared script designed to deceive who she is and what she will do.
All this is a textbook case how “democracy dies in darkness” and so reminds us that the Left is for once right: democracy really is on the ballot in November.
