Scratch a Democrat and find a racist. As Kamala Harris travels the country, going from one ass-kissing interview to another, the rest of the Democratic Party establishment is starting to worry. You can’t polish a turd, but you can distract from the fact that it is a turd…but only for a while. Sooner or later, the emperor has no clothes, the sheep runs out of wool, and you’re left standing there with a turd. That’s where the Democrats are now.
The thing about Kamala Harris is the more people see her, the less they like her. She almost lost her first race for Attorney General of California…to a Republican; she was so bad as a candidate. She wins in a walk, at least in California, when she has a horrible opponent.
After announcing her run for president in 2019, Harris polled very well and raised a ton of money. Then, people saw her on the campaign trail and heard her in interviews. Support for her collapsed to the point that she had to quit the race before a single vote was cast. Her polling as Vice President tracks right along with this – when she was made Border Czar (and she was, everyone knows it) and put in charge of voting rights (which seems to consist of mostly complaining about voter ID), people paid attention and did not like what they saw. Kamala Harris was less popular at the depths of Joe Biden’s unpopularity.
She made the perfect buffer for Biden: no matter how bad she looked, standing next to her, he looked better.
After the coup, she’s all they have. There is no plan B. And as much as Democrats love abortion at any point, a public one in the 720th month is too much even for them.
Since no conceivable case can be made FOR Kamala Harris – and they aren’t even trying, offering only as much detail as “We want to do good stuff” – they must find another way to motivate their voters. And that other way will not be charm or personality – no one wants to drink a Miller High Life with Kamala.
Enter the ex-presidents.
