Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Kamala Harris became a serious contender for the Democrat nomination last night. The Willie Brown paramour from California won the debate by landing a massive body blow on front-runner Joe Biden, putting her star on the rise in the race and accelerating Biden’s inevitable fall.
Watch this clip – it is devastating for Biden:
“It’s a mis-charicteration (sic)” are the first words out of our nation’s Unfrozen Caveman Senator’s mouth. He looks like one of the old Democrat segregationists he “got stuff done” with back in the 1970s, an age that most Democrat voters cannot even remotely relate to. He sounds old, he sounds programmed, everything he talks about it stuff that happened damn near half a century ago.
And then, he is so shaky, so unsure of himself, so out of canned talking points, that he becomes the first person in the history of presidential debates to …wait for it … cut himself off.
That boy done. And Kamala is off to the races. That clip getting played constantly on all the cable channels and all the social media platforms will 5 points to her polling support in a week, maybe more.
The “Look at Me ‘Cuz I’m So Weird” award goes without any question at all to goofball author Marianne Williamson, who, when asked what her first priority upon assuming the presidency would be, actually said this:
“My first call is to the prime minister of New Zealand, who said that her goal is to make New Zealand the place where it’s the best place in the world for a child to grow up,” said Williamson. “I would tell her, ’Girlfriend, you are so wrong!”
Williamson is so overwhelmingly weird that even the weirdos at the Huffington Post went off on her performance this morning. That’s weird.
Her closing statement capped off a night of weirdness, probably capping off her vanity project campaign for good, as the DNC will now instruct their media toadies to keep her off the air and out of future debates:

Ryan Saavedra ✔ @RealSaavedra Here is Marianne Williamson's cringe-worthy closing statement
5,888 10:13 PM - Jun 27, 2019 4,526 people are talking about this Twitter Ads info and privacy Honestly, I can’t tell if she was threatening to defeat the President in next year’s general election or propositioning him. All conservatives should immediately contribute money to her campaign to ensure she is able to stay in this race, just as a practical joke.
The embarrassing MSNBC/NBC moderators did their best to ignore Williamson, allowing her less than 5 minutes of time to air her her grievances against New Zealand and praise her spirit guides, but if you’re Andrew Yang, you’re thinking “damn, sure wish I’d have gotten that extra two minutes!” this morning. Yang, the only actual semi-interesting person on that stage last night, the guy who campaigns on his claim to have a million ideas, was only given 2:58 to express them by the DNC/fake media cabal desperately hoping to kill him off before he can catch any fire in the race.
By comparison, Biden got 13:19 to talk about all the great stuff he did during the Nixon Administration, Harris got 12:16, Mayor Pete was awarded 11:21 for being the bestest hall monitor in the field, and the old Commie got 10:58 to spout all of his Stalinist nostrums.
Yang did get the consolation prize by winning the Drudge insta-poll following the debate. Yang pulled in over 28% of the vote in that measure, probably because his paltry time speaking ended up irritating fewer Americans than everyone else. Hilariously, Williamson actually came in third in that poll, pulling over 12% support, while Kamala Harris was second at 17%.
Who had the worst night? Other than Biden, you’d have to point to John Hickenlooper, Kirsten Gillibrand, Michael Bennett and Eric Swalwell, all of whom were the same non-factors in the debate that they’ve been thus far in the campaign. You can just stick a fork in all of ’em.
The Commie was the Commie, sounding and looking exactly as he sounded and looked in the 2016 race with the Pantsuit Princess. Being the only outright Commie in that race, he was able to give the Fainting Felon a race for her money. His problem this time, though, is that there are a ton of other outright commies in the race, and they’re really cutting into his support base.
Sanders spent his time pounding on every boogeyman imaginable, as Commies always do: The Medical industry, drug makers, corporate bigwigs in general, ICE, the Border Patrol, President Trump, Climate Change, conservative judges, senate Republicans – all of those handy boogeymen and more enjoyed their time in last night’s Bolshevik spotlight. He’s a tiresome old hack trading on nothing but fear and empty promises, which of course is why depraved Democrat voters love him.
Last night didn’t harm him, but it didn’t do him any good, either. Expect him to fall in the polls over the next couple of weeks, and expect both Fauxcahontas and Harris to pass him.
Hey, what about Mayor Pete? Last night was set up by the DNC and NBC to be his breakout moment, that jumpstart that would move his campaign into the next gear. He did fine in the debate by all accounts, but none of the media coverage is focused on him this morning.
And Buttigieg’s biggest problem comes in the only measure that really matters in these debates: Optics. Standing there on that stage next to the much, much taller Unfrozen Caveman Senator, Mayor Pete just looked like a high school sophomore trying to debate the school principal. After his awful weekend back in South Bend, Buttigieg needed to have a moment last night in which he showed real authority and empathy, especially for African Americans, in order to break out of that Optics trap.
He didn’t do that. Thus, his campaign, which had already stagnated in the 6-7% support level in the various polls, will continue to stagnate. You may even see his level of support begin to slowly drop, as frustrated potential supporters turn their heads to Kamala and Fauxcahontas.
So, here are the winners and losers from the Second Debate:
Winners:
Kamala Harris, and it isn’t close
Losers:
Everyone else
This race is shaking out very quickly, despite the crowded field. Now that she’s had her breakout moment, Kamala Harris is going to be hard, hard, hard for the other candidates to take down.
Think about it: How’s it going to look to identity-politics-oriented Democrats when two old, gray-haired white guys start going after the lone woman of color in the field? Exactly. So you won’t see them do that. And if they can’t go after her, how are they going to stop her?
Good question. Glad I don’t have to answer it.
That is all.

I saw that too. I don’t recall any tears from the Hildebeast (crocodile or otherwise) but I bet we will see a tearful performance from harris (should she survive that long.
Bill DeBlasio is the biggest Commie on stage. He even yelled Che's battlecry, "Hasta la victoria siempre!" at a union rally Miami, even though he denied knowing that Che Guevara had said that. Lying commie too. He's a deeply ingrained commie.
The author did acknowledge later, that the whole continent of democRATS in the debate last night were outright commies too.
I guess Uncle Bernie is the teddy bear commie. Soft and cuddly. DeBlasio is the asshole commie. Loud, in-your-face, "workers of the world unite" type.
The Communist Party Of America and the democRAT Socialist Party have blended together to form the largest anti-America, anti-capitalism coalition of America's enemies within.
I admittedly haven’t seen a lot from Harris, but so far I’ve seen 2 faces — (1) the humorless prosecutor and (2) the emotional civil rights warrior. If that’s all she’s got, she can’t win the general election. But I think the DNC has a blind-spot and she’s I. It.
I agree. I think the DNC sort of wants Biden, but is realizing that Biden is hopeless. He’s over. Harris seems to be the new “inevitable” one.
Bernie and Warren may provide minor competition, but they’re too old and white.
Here’s my question: was Kamala Harris *really* bused to school?
Fact checkers needed. Here’s why:
She says she attended elementary school in Berkeley, CA.
She says busing to achieve integration in Berkeley happened 2 decades after Brown v Board of Education (1954.)
She implies Berkeley CA was resisting desegregation, necessitating forced busing, in the 70s. She was 6 yrs old in 1970.
I remember seeing news in the 70s about people in BOSTON rioting against forced busing, but Berkeley?
I attended elementary school in the Deep South. Our schools were already desegregating in the early to mid 60s.
Was she, personally & specifically, bused to school?
My biggest challenge in this is, as EyesOfTX suggested, to “look at it as Democrats look at it”. My brain just doesn’t work that way!
All I have seen of harris is angry and strident. That may resonate well enough to win the primary but I don’t think that it will carry her through with the larger audience that she will need to win the race.
Personally I’m enjoying the schadenfreude of the dhimmicrats struggling to keep their odd assortment of wounded warriors patched up until one of them can go toe to toe with Orange Man Bad LoL.
Your typo was divinely inspired.
Except that Barack Obama ran a largely positive campaign that expressed hope and optimism for the future. This made it easy to vote for him against the scowling, angry John McCain.
The time it’s Kamala Harris who is scowling and angry running against an optimistic, smiling President Trump. This might work for the base but it’s not going to play well outside where people just aren’t that outraged.

Very good point. I don’t see suburban white women voting for a snarling black woman who slept her way to the top. But who knows these days.
“Biden is weak and slow, Beto is a beta, Buttgeig is smart but lacks persuasion, and Warren is vanilla.”
Warren is vanilla with vinegar, and an expression that would sour cream. Scolding schoolmarm & angry ex combined.
In other words, the perfect opponent for PDJT.
You never want to be The Powerhouse this early ,LOL
Snide sarcasm is not soaring oratory.
Bitter, querulous anger is not rational discourse.
Accusatory, imperious criticism is not enlightening.
Kamala Harris is a quintessential harpy, sniping at victims, belittling inferiors, and proclaiming her vaunted moralisms as if they were true, which they are never.
She is a thoroughly despicable troll.
She is a fraud, her own father says the family were slave owners in Jamaica.
so true. the msm will never point that out, and probably excuse it that it wasn’t her that owned them
She is the female Obama.
Somewhere my wife thinks she heard Obama was endorsing her....
Agree on the female Obama. All stories, no results, difference is she is more outright in her attack style as demonstrated in the Kavanaugh hearings.
This was a set up from the DNC from the moment this ignorant slut entered the race. She was always “the one” like MMMMM MMMMMM MMMMMM Barack Hussein Obama. Every media story about her has been glowing. Soros has selected her. She’s been hiding in the shadows for a moment like this.
Did I mention that Harris got her start on Willie Brown’s staff?
LOL, I can imagine there are different meanings to how she got her start on his staff...................
After Obama, that doesn't matter any more.
Obama's coveted endorsement will be national news when it is made.
truth and the constitution matter if we make it matter
“She has oratory skills.....”
That’s what Willie Brown said.
