I've been watching the betting markets (Election Betting Odds, Predictit etc). Biden only got about a 2 point bump within the hour of making the announcement (which is typically anytime either candidate speaks even on some minor issue, and abysmal for a major announcement like a VP choice), but those 2 points went away within hours and two days out Trump was actually up 2 points. So it appears Harris provoked little more than a "yawn" from the betting markets.

That being said, I wouldn't put a whole lot of stock in these markets overall, they had Hillary with a 81% chance of winning on election day 2016, so they are far from perfect. (they currently have Biden as a 57/43 favorite, which is far worse than Hillary ever did).

Kamela “the Cackling Hen” Harass is simply not personable.

Generally you remember her as someone at two extremes.

Either she’s angry and accusatory in Senate public hearings where the person she accuses is practically muzzled by the time clock.

Or alternatively, she is laughing her ridiculous cackle — meaning she doesn’t know a better way to respond or make small talk. She hides behind the laugh.

Both of these tactics reveal her personality weakness. And yes, being a boring person puts her in the same league as Biden.

But anytime she’s in a true debate situation, she turns into a wall flower and can’t fight back. She plays the victim card then and turns into the persecuted little girl — as she did when Tulsi went after her in the Dem debates.

So I can’t wait for Pence to corner her in a debate. But watch the Dems try to make a mockery of the debates, doing it virtually with staged questions and no ability for the candidates to counter-punch either other.

America deserves REAL DEBATES so we can measure the person’s true leadership ability.
