A year into Barack Obama’s presidency, Sarah Palin, a former Alaska governor and John McCain’s 2008 running mate, mockingly asked a Tea Party gathering a question: “How’s that hopey, changey stuff working out?”
The roomful of conservatives howled with laughter because by then, Obama’s dreamy campaign motto of “Hope and Change” had been replaced by hard policy lurches to the far left.
The Palin question is a piece of history 2024 voters should keep in mind as they assess Kamala Harris.
The parallels between then and now are striking.
Like Obama, the Democrats’ current nominee has been maddeningly elusive about what she would do as president.
Yet she is nonetheless riding a wave of enthusiasm that could carry her to the White House.
As they did with Obama, big media outlets are helping to promote her candidacy rather than vetting her for voters.
Take recent top headlines in The New York Times: On Friday, beside a huge flattering photo of her, the newspaper declared: “Harris Making History While Putting Her Faith In the Art of the Possible.”
On Saturday, the same space said: “Harris Faces Challenge: Turning Joy Into Votes.”
A Washington Post opinion piece on Harris’ husband carried this headline — “Doug Emhoff: modern-day sex symbol.”
This isn’t journalism.
It’s boosterism, and it’s disgraceful.
For Donald Trump, the consequences are clear: his opponent is Hope and Change All Over Again.
Or, as Palin might put it, he’s up against Hopey-Changey 2.0.
In fact, Harris has been even more vague than Obama was in 2008.

Your memory is akin to mine. Thanks for writing that.
The American leftists copy British leftists.
The British leftists want to tax private school education by 20%.
It won’t happen in the USA if I have veto power.
The British leftists want to tax inherited houses by far more than $25,000.
It won’t happen in the USA if I have veto power.
The word “collective” uttered by Kamala Harris is of the Communist vocabulary. Kamala Harris has a Marxist economist father, who once was dearly beloved by her mother.
Don’t give Kamala Harris and her greedy-eyed fellow travelers a chance to grab even more of what you’ve worked hard for.
Vote for me, Donald Trump.
Vote to keep what you’ve worked hard for.
Vote Republican!
“This woman is being groomed.”
Barack Obama was groomed since childhood.
Kamala Harris has about 10 weeks left.
Jim Jones cult.

The electorate DID vote that way. Trump won; fraud prevailed.
