The White House Sending Kamala Harris to Small Towns in Red States Is a Genius Political Move

The Democrats are facing a multitude of problems heading into the 2022 mid-term elections. Those problems are nothing like what they face in 2024. The Washington Post handicaps the potential Democrat candidates (see this post by my colleague Susie Moore, Even WaPo Isn’t Excited About the Dems’ 2024 Prospects), and the list they come up with looks like a cross between the Star Wars Cantina (Cory Booker? Pete Butttttigieg?) and leftovers from the Soviet Politburo.

As Susie notes, “the glummest notes are reserved for the two who should be the ‘most likely to’s’….”

No sane person thinks the dementia lollipop in the Oval Office will be allowed to run for a second term. Not only has he shown himself to be wildly incompetent and deeply corrupt; he is clearly on the waterpark slide heading to full-blown, custodial dementia. With Biden institutionalized, the logical frontrunner should be Kamala Harris. But as the Washington Post observes, things aren’t working out well for her.

Vice President Kamala Harris (who, by the way, doesn’t even land in the top two) — “We’re dropping Harris down a slot this time. Being vice president is certainly a good launchpad, but it’s not at all clear Harris has put it to good use. Her numbers are similar to Biden’s, and she’s done little to change the perceptions that harmed her 2020 campaign, including on her ability to drive a message.”

As we are wrestling with a European war on the verge of spilling over into other countries, the dollar seems to be headed the way of the Weimar Reichsmark, and over a million illegals are projected to enter the nation this year; Kamala Harris is visiting Philadelphia to talk about mask mandates and Sunset, Louisiana, to tout Biden’s record on high-speed internet.

I live in a blue city in a red state but would love to ask her some pointed questions under media scrutiny.

I read the headline and immediately looked to see if it was the Babylon Bee.

Great idea....send their moronic cackler demon straight into sane territory so they can all get a good, hard look at it for what it really is.

A small town which is in a red state which is in the United States which is a large country on our planet.

How'd I do?

[econjack]

What could possibly go wrong with this airhead leading the pack?

[algore]

and this was a good idea

iirc there were some other good ideas too

[Dogbert41]

They should send her to Ukraine to cheer up the troops.

[Bobalu]

lol, Hillary is one of the politburo leftovers...

[Leaning Right]

If Kamala Harris really is going to visit some small towns in Red states, she should take a waitress job in one of the local diners. It would be honest work - the first she ever had. And she’d get a chance to talk to some real Americans.

Can’t they send her to blue state hell holes where they understand her dumbspeak?

Why pollute us...we already know she is dumb as soup.

she should take a waitress job in one of the local diners

Aw, c'mon.....she would be fired within the first half shift after each of her customers is made physically ill from the cackle.

Give me a break. She didn't put the VP office "to good use"? She's less competent than the least competent human being to ever walk on earth. If you are nothing but an incompetent affirmative action pick, the office doesn't make a bit of difference.

So we are left with she cannot "drive a message"? The Dems and WaPo are hung up on the meaningless "message" meme. What message can they drive? "We destroyed the economy. We let a war start between Russia and Ukraine. We killed fossil fuels. You can all drive $80,000 EVs. We love having kids being taught about perversions in kindergarten."

Their only competency is destroying the USA everybody loves.

Yeah, high speed internet is the primary concern of most households.

[peggybac]

Her idea of a small town will be a liberal suburb of a large city.

[Sacajaweau]

I did the same..

[Trillian]

I’m sure this will go as well as biden’s fake presidency.

Democrats could have some huge headaches with this situation.

If Joe doesn’t finish out his term, then Kamala would be the incumbent president heading into 2024.

Would the powers that be in the Democrat party, really push aside a liberal woman “of color”, to be replaced with someone else????

I understand there would be an open battle for the nomination if Joe serves out his term, decides not to run for re-election, and things are wide open for the presidential nomination.

But, if Kamala is the incumbent president heading into 2024, Democrats face some really tough infighting in that election cycle, if they try to get rid of a President Kamala, as opposed to pushing aside a Vice-President Kamala trying for the top job.
