Harris' new campaign strategy- become Donald Trump
Flopping Aces ^ | 08-11-24 | DrJohn

If you can't beat him, become him.

Kamala Harris cannot and will not face a serious interview without a heaping bowl of word salad and she knows it. Thus, she only speaks at campaign rallies and it's exactly the same canned speech each time.

The left-wing state media, already unabashedly in lockstep with Harris, has that covered. As Harris is interview-impaired, there's no need to have interviews!

The Associated Press is raising eyebrows by downplaying the need for Vice President Kamala Harris to speak to the press.

"Meet the press? Hold that thought. The candidate sit-down interview ain’t what it used to be," a headline from the AP read Friday. Harris, who has yet to do an interview nor hold a press conference since she swiftly became the Democratic nominee, suggested Thursday her campaign will schedule a sit-down interview before the end of the month after her GOP rival, former President Trump, held an hour-long press conference, during which he spent a lot of time slamming her for avoiding the media.

"That’s about to change, now that it has become a campaign issue," the AP wrote. "But for journalists, the larger lesson is that their role as presidential gatekeepers is probably diminishing forever."
It is diminishing because the left-wing media has become an arm of the DNC.

You might have noticed the media emphasis on the size of the crowds at her rallies. We finally have an explanation for that- democrats/org is paying each attendee $225.

One of Harris' traits is a total lack of originality and authenticity. She needed a new theme and now promises a number of things that sound very familiar.

She'll bring down prices.

“While our economy is doing well by many measures, prices for every day things like groceries are still too high. You know it, and I know it. When I am president, it will be a day one priority to fight to bring down prices…”
She knows how to fix the immigration system:
“I was attorney general of a border state. I went after the transnational gangs, the drug cartels & human traffickers … We know our immigration system is broken & we know what it takes to fix it.“
She promises to end taxes on tips
“It is my promise to everyone here, when I am president, we will continue our fight for working families of America,” Harris said, “including to raise the minimum wage and eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers.”
She'll be tough on the border:
'And as president, she will hire thousands more border agents and crack down on fentanyl and human trafficking. Fixing the border is tough. So is Kamala Harris.'
She's going to get tough on the gangs that she allowed into the country
“I was attorney general of a border state. I went after the transnational gangs, the drug cartels and the human traffickers,” Harris said, touching on an issue she has rarely spoken about in depth. “I prosecuted them in case after case and I won, so I know what I’m talking about.”
If she's doing better in the polls, it's because she's campaigning as Donald Trump. She is shamelessly and disingenuously stealing everything from Donald Trump's playbook. She's becoming Trump.

Yep.
Did you know she fights for the middle class?

this leftist switch destroying and killing middle class people, is fighting for them.

Never has there been a more false campaign.

This is more real than one might think. What her couple of events so far, she is picking up his styles, almost his words, and obviously his ideas. She is a chameleon.

The “become Donald Trump” strategy will only go so far as Trump is not “black; nor is he “Jamaican” or “Indian” or whatever the hell else this trans-racial, still-presumptive candidate becomes over the next few months.

Why vote for the cheap knockoff when you could vote for the real thing.

Cheap knockoff-makes promises she will never keep.
Real thing-Promises made, promises kept.

Cheap knockoff has to pay people to cheer
Real thing-gets cheers where ever he goes

Cheap knockoff -has disdain for the people
Real thing-loves the people

I was extremely IMPRESSED last night watching the event in Las Vegas. I DID NOT KNOW..that Walz had achieved a real high community appreciation for being able to work the school cafeterias for 20 years.. As the teacher union spokes person said, THIS ALONE SHOWS that Walz is qualified to be Vice President because NOBODY can withstand guard duty at a High School Cafeteria. And the experience that Kamala Harris got while working at McDonalds must NEVER be taken lightly. THESE are qualities that show all of us how outstanding both of these people are to lead our country. I am convinced they are JUST right for this time to lead.

Yes, funny that they are stuck talking about his cafeteria duty since they can’t talk about his military experience without explaining his stolen valor.

This is precisely what I was thinking watching her new tough on the border ad and then hearing that she stole Trump’s no tax on tips policy. She is not only pretending to have nothing to do with her old radical positions, she really believes that with the media fawning all over her that she can get away with co-opting Trump’s campaign.

Trump 100% needs to use this laughable shift in Kamala’s campaign to call out how fake everything about her new transformation and new policies is. He really needs to brand her as someone who cannot be believed and will claim absolutely anything if she thinks it will play well with voters. Everything he attacks her with should be filtered through this prism of her fakeness. It can be all encompassing to the point that even those not paying much attention will get the message.

If Trump plays this well, he can work at discrediting everything she says. If he plays this poorly, she might actually confuse the issues so much that uninformed voters may think they are about the same on issues and vote for the “likeable,” “joyful” one instead of the one who has already proven himself and been consistent but is “mean” and “negative.”

Trump is running an ad on Youtube in which he spends half his time talking about restoring “Merry Christmas”. Anyone who cares about that was already voting for him.

Gen Z and Millenials don’t care about this. This care about the economy and future jobs. The Dems seem much more attuned to what resonates with the undecided. It’s the 2020’s, not the 1980’s.

Instead of talking about how Dems “couped” Biden, Trump should be talking non-stop about how food costs 80% more, housing 50% more, full-time jobs are declining, living standards are plummeting, etc. This is what decides the election and he is wasting time on crap that doesn’t matter to who will decide the election.

All Trump has to hammer on is that her and her party while in office haven’t done ANY of the things she’s promising now, in fact they’ve made EVERYTHING worse. Then point out that the Democrats have been giving this exact same speech for sixty years AND HAVE NEVER DELIVERED.

Exactly right. Trump needs to focus on that WITH DISCIPLINE.
Do not hold your breath. Can’t change personality in late 70’s.

She is taking positions that a month ago she was against. I guess that would work for the low-information kneejerk types that account for a lot of her supporters. That might not work for more idealogical leftists. I wonder if she will start moderating her position on abortion?
