Kamala Harris Surprises Everyone

The New York Times ^ | Aug. 5, 2024, 5:05 a.m. ET | Gail Collins and Bret Stephens

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Bret Stephens: Hi, Gail. I have to make a confession: Kamala Harris had a much stronger start than I expected. She appears competent, in command and she is connecting to voters — everything she wasn’t when she ran for president five years ago. I gather you’re not surprised ….

Gail Collins: Bret! Does that mean you’re going to vote for her? I was planning on torturing you until you joined the team.

Bret: I’m not there yet, though the rumored choice of Josh Shapiro, the Pennsylvania governor, as her running mate would go far to reassure me about a Harris administration. What do you think?

Gail: Certainly seems to make sense politically — guy from a very important state, with a moderate image that might reassure Democrats who are worried that Harris is too far to the left.

But Bret, can I take one minute to register a big howl about the fact that in a presidential election one vote in Pennsylvania is worth a trillion times more than one vote in, um, New York?

Nobody’s arguing that Shapiro is the best conceivable candidate in the country; he’s just maybe the best conceivable candidate from a critical swing state.

Bret: What else is new? In this case, there would be the happy blending of a terrific candidate who happens to govern a must-win state. I also think Harris recognizes that she needs to temper the perception of her being a Bay Area progressive politician by choosing a governor with a reputation for centrism. It makes for a good contrast to Trump-Vance, where old-and-crazy chose to pair up with young-and-reckless.

Gail: Well, governmentally speaking, I’d be happiest with a vice-presidential candidate who was of the same progressive bent as Harris. But I’ve got to admit that the smartest strategy is to pick somebody who makes the ticket...

Bret, a Jew, is going to vote for Cacklin Kamala, because she’s going to pick a Jew for VP!
He’s the CAT LADY OF THE JEWS.

[Ann Archy]

LOL!

I thought Ellen DeGeneres was a lousy dancer...Kammie is just as bad. No timing, no rhythm, just jerky gyrations, much like Taylor Swift...unnatural.

“...What has Kamala done?..”

Perhaps a better question would not “what”, but “who”.
Suspect that list would be quite loonnnnnggggg.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Kamala “appears competent” only because she is hiding.

A good counter to the assertions made in this article:

Kamala Harris’s Michael Dukakis moment

[Revel]

Well it appears that the NY times and deepstate media have convinced the financial markets well enough about Harris.

[metmom]

What? Did she say something coherent?

[Lisbon1940]

Gerschkowitz works for the Wall Street Journal.

[SuperLuminal]

Surprise!!!
She doesn’t swallow...

[blackdog]

So yep. Wallstreet Journal. Right church, wrong pew.

[FenwickBabbitt]

She hasn’t answered a single question yet or said more than 2 convoluted sentences without a teleprompter while being deified by the propaganda media. Anyone literate could do well under those circumstances.

No she's not.

The MSM is just pushing her hard enough and the fake polls are making it appear that way, just like she appears competent, but is really not.

There are a lot of Eeyores around here who don't recognize that.

Anyone who votes for Harris is incredibly stupid or blind.

Kammie will do anything she can to ingratiate herself to anyone who has power, a characteristic of someone who was brought up by Communist parents.Such ingratiation includes trying to dance as well as getting down on her knees. Her knee pad approach should work effectively against Xi, Putin, Kim Jung Un, and Iran's Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei? ( sarc.) Weakness bleeds from her very pores.A walking victim.

BUahahahahahahahahahaha!

She is nothing but a sock puppet for Obama, Soros and others, a sadomasochistic person hooked on "fellatio" or seduction as a political tool, originally knee trained by San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown.

As a result, her greatest weakness is the inability to tell the difference between good and evil.She is what you call , "fey." Doomed to disaster by succumbing to evil under the guise of "doing good.". A psychopomp.
