Harris Supporters Panicking Over Lack of a Coherent Message Before Election Day: 'Scared to Death'
RedState ^ | 10/10/2024 | Rusty Weiss

Democrat strategist James Carville and radio host Charlamagne tha God, two prominent supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris, are expressing concerns over her campaign’s lack of a message for the American people.

With less than a month until polls open, they’re getting a little antsy.

Charlamagne, who previously praised Harris as a candidate with “'super main character energy,” now feels all of the energy has shifted to the Trump campaign when it comes to relating to the people.

“You'll listen to a lot of reporters and they'll be talking to Trump or JD Vance and they'll be talking to them about things that are happening right here in America, because it is an election season right here in America."

“America first,” the Breakfast Club radio show co-host believes, is a winning message.

"So it’s always America first. But then you go to Tim Walz and they’re asking him about geopolitical politics, and I think a lot of times that makes them sound, you know, very out of touch. That makes them sound very out of touch to what’s going on right here in America," he continued.

Carville, meanwhile, appears to be in full-blown panic mode about the election and the lack of messaging coming out of the Harris camp.

Carville, at one point former President Bill Clinton’s closest advisor, told MSNBC host Ali Melber that he was “scared to death” of the coming election.

Part of that fear is a lack of a tangible message and not a whole lot of time to produce one.

Citing time restraints due to disaster recovery needs and other factors, Carville suggests the Democrat nominee “probably (has) under 20 days” to “really get a message out.”

That implies she hasn’t produced a message at all as of yet.

“They need to be sharp. They need to be aggressive. They need to stop answering questions and start asking questions,” he insisted.

It’s ironic to hear him suggest Harris needs to start talking more when Carville previously suggested the biggest problem in the Democrat party is “too many preachy females.”

By contrast, Charlamagne believes the messaging coming from the Trump-Vance campaign is striking a chord with the American people.

“When you hear, you know, the Vances and Trumps talking about what’s happening here at home and saying things like ‘America First’ and ‘Make America Great Again,’ that messaging sometimes resonates a lot more,” he said. “Not sometimes, it does resonate a lot more."

These complaints from supporters of Harris come as she struggles to convince the American people that she has a plan to competently serve as president.

She’s done herself no favors in changing the narrative in recent days.

During the Hurricane Milton disaster, Harris produced cringeworthy staged phone calls with local officials, held Zoom meetings where she got caught needing help from her handlers, and faked sharing a beer with Stephen Colbert while a vast swath of Florida was evacuating.

Maybe that’s the message people are taking away right now. That Harris is completely out of touch, has no coherent plan to lead, and is so cringe that she makes Hillary Clinton look relatable.

A new Gallup poll reveals that a strong majority of voters believe Trump (60-48%) is a stronger and more decisive leader.

No wonder Harris’s surrogates are scared to death.

They must have missed her appearance on Stephen Colbert’s show.

She clearly said “I am not Donald Trump!”

She was never supposed to be the nominee. She’s clearly not ready for prime time.

Why do they support her if she has no coherent message?

Time to put the pedal to the metal.

This is not a time to simply win.

This is a time to decimate.

Well, you can have 'energy' of your policies and convictions or you can have the 'joy' of being devoid anything meaningful. If the only word you can attach to your candidacy is 'joy' then you might as well be handing out nothing but Ecstasy pills.

She’s clearly not ready for prime time.


And, never will be.

Carville’s big contribution to Clinton’s first campaign was , “It’s the economy, stupid.” Why doesn’t he suggest Harris run on the Biden economy?

DON’T BELIEVE ANY OF THIS! These “Kamala’s team is in a panic” messages are designed to make Trump voters complacent and not vote because they think the race is in the bag.

IT MOST CERTAINLY IS NOT! Vote as if your life and your country depends on it, because it does.

Remember how everybody knew how brain damaged Fetterman was, yet he still won his Senatorial seat. It doesn’t matter how incoherent Kamala Harris sounds, her supporters will still vote for her.

A LACK of message? How can that be? She’s very clear in her messaging and she’s delivered plenty of them:

Then: “I am AGAINST X”
Today: “I am FOR X”

Then: “I am AGAINST Y”
Today: “I am FOR Y”

Then: “I am AGAINST Z”
Today: “I am FOR Z”

Even if she had a clear message, Communism is still a very hard sell...to at least HALF of us.

It won’t be so much in the future though, as the electorate gets even stupider and more and more illegals populate the land.

So Socialist Democrats have THAT to keep them warm at night for now. Losers.

Four more years of President Trump, then eight years of VP Vance and/or DeSantis.

That’ll stop the bleeding. For a while. ;)

The only way the Dems win is if they off Trump, which is what Im terrified of they are going to try yet again..they are NOT going to give up power that easily..this is the Communist party we are talking about here..and they would love nothing more than a civil war and a means of canceling the election..Dont be surprised if there are moles in the secret service just waiting for their order to off Trump in his sleep

Here is the difference, Joe Biden has end stage dementia, so he has an excuse, he was forced out with threats of releasing the Hur tape..with Harris, she doesn’t have dementia but she is a moron..and the only reason why she got a career is because she slept with the right people
