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.

Tell me again about her slave owner family.
She has oratory skills.....but she’s just another liberal b****.
Okay, I admit I didn’t read the article, as I have hypertension. However, does anybody have the stats on how many people watched debate 2? I can’t find the stats. I read it was about 9 million on debate 1, which would be very low.
Called it. You heard it here first.
Biden is weak and slow, Beto is a beta, Buttgeig is smart but lacks persuasion, and Warren is vanilla.
The truth is, Biden and Warren were being held up. Biden because the establishment owes him a chance. Similar with Warren. They’re both too not serious name takers though. And the DNC has a dirty little secret that Buggteig simply alienates too many people, weather it gets said or not.
Harris is the only one with the right check boxes marked off in identity politics and who can orate with enough force and persuasion that the dems will think she can take on Trump.
I watched the clip and did not think it was that “devastating”. Just more talk about hurt childhood feelings by someone who is has been incredibly successful regardless. That being said, this is probably dynamite in the Democratic party where people vote exclusively on their feelings.
She is a fraud, her own father says the family were slave owners in Jamaica.
When I see Harris, I immediately think of her mistreatment of Justice Kavanagh at the Senate debacle.
A truly disgusting, filthy display of pandering by a bunch of money grubbing oh nevermind.
The Dems motto never changes, Sodom if you got em!
I believe I might need adult beverages today.
God please deliver us!
“...Harris...”
I have predicted since day one to my husband that Harris will be the nominee mainly becuase of the easons that you state so well.
She is the female Obama.

You answered your own question. You have to look at it as Democrats look at it. I know it’s hard, but you have to try to do it.
If they like Kamala, they will pretend she is a recently escaped slave herself if need be.
As an aside, it is amazing that someone on the fringe of the postmodern/progressive movement doesn't admit that redefining reality as something IT IS NOT is a pretty solid definition of insanity (or at least it used to be).
I remember when I was a kid, the owner of the local cinema had a daughter who believed she was a movie star. She used to drive around town in a convertible sports car waving at her fans. She would give you a signed promotional photo if you asked.
She was eventually was committed to Milledgeville (the big state asylum).
In today's Democratic Party, she would be considered perfectly normal...particularly if she were also transgender.
The winner of last night was actually Sanders.
Mr. “number 2” didnt have to get in a tussle with Biden. Biden will take damage, and Bernie’s hands are clean.
Biden’s “support” wont flow to Sanders, though. But Bernie doesnt need that. He just needs Biden’s numbers to dilute out evenly to other candidates.
Now that Harris has landed those hits, it will open Joe up to more hits and questions about his stamina.

Some day there will be a woman President, but I sure hope she has more going for her other than the fact she has a vagina or she is not “white”.
Wouldn’t it be ironic if the first “woman” President was a man claiming to be a woman while at the same time claiming he/she was black /s
She is half Indian, Half Jamaican, how did America make her ***** hurt? She was raised privileged. How is she AA?
FRAUD! race card playing FRAUD
You misspelled 'oral'.
LOL!
It is wondrous how some people try to take a a little ripple of a comment and ride its waves to the outer regions of the universe.
In the overall scheme of things, that little statement by one of Willie Brown’s paid escorts will amount to zero.
Taking out Biden was her job and did it. She is running for Bernie’s VP.
The only two that impressed me on problems and solutions...Delany and Yang. But they are far out on the plank and won’t even rate cabinet seats. Biden just came across as ‘Uncle Joe’ and really didn’t seem to be more than a 2nd version watered-down version of Obama.
