Well, he’ll probably piss off the Left again, but that’s what he's done so well over the past three or so years. Liberal reporter Michael Tracey absolutely ripped into Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) and her debate performance Wednesday night. Tracey is no fan of Harris and said that she was an “awful” VP pick from the get-go. So are we shocked her debate performance was equally disastrous? It was a train wreck.
Harris came off unprepared on a host of issues, avoided the court-packing question, and seemed incapable of delivering a solid blow against Vice President Mike Pence, who was prepared and lethal. Vice President Pence did well mounting a defense of the Trump-Pence record, whereas Harris couldn’t land any of the zingers Pence quietly doled out like an assassin. COVID was the highwater mark for Harris. She came off strong, but even that was torched when she peddled an anti-vaccine line regarding the coronavirus. These debates are about who we can trust should any situation arise when the president cannot perform their duties. Pence passed that test. Harris, not so much; you have to be more than just a machine that peddles talking points from MSNBC. That bubble landed her in trouble as there were a couple of points where she literally had nothing to say.
As Tracey noted, “Kamala was hyped as the ‘front-runner’ in the 2020 Dem primaries, flamed out in spectacular fashion partly due to her terrible debate performances, and only became VP nominee thanks to an extensive lobbying effort by the Dem professional and donor class.”

If Joe Biden wins this election it will be in spite of Kamala Harris -- awful debate performance and awful VP choice overall— Michael Tracey (@mtracey) October 8, 2020
The "Russian bounties" story was manufactured by intelligence community leaks and a credulous partisan media, so it's only fitting that the Democratic nominees would be constantly harping on it— Michael Tracey (@mtracey) October 8, 2020
The idea that Trump has practiced "isolationism" as president is such a load of nonsense. ("Isolationism" would have been preferable to the actual policy.) Kamala has clearly never had an original thought in the area of foreign policy— Michael Tracey (@mtracey) October 8, 2020
The way Kamala says "I'm speaking" -- as if any back-and-forth in what's supposed to be a "debate" is some kind of affront -- reminds me of an excessively domineering teacher in Middle School— Michael Tracey (@mtracey) October 8, 2020
Kamala's incoherence on China is embarrassing— Michael Tracey (@mtracey) October 8, 2020
Indeed, the media did treat Harris as someone who was a solid candidate when Biden picked her as his running mate, despite her not lasting as long as Tom Steyer, Andrew Yang, Cory Booker, or Deval Patrick—and none of those guys had a shot at winning the nomination let alone this election. Her 2020 campaign was a mess. She had no message, no direction, and no plan. That was the rudderless circus act that was Kamala 2020. And let’s not forget that her presidential ambitions were shot out of the sky when Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) highlighted her top cop record, where she went heavily after the Black community. Harris is trying to be social justice warrior and top cop at the same time. Maybe there’s a way to thread that needle regarding selling that message or neutralizing the fallout, but we know that Harris doesn’t have the goods. She doesn’t.
Tracey also delivered more blows, calling Harris's answer on China “embarrassing.” Oh, and the Russian bounties story that the Left tried to weaponize against Trump as evidence he was a bad commander-in-chief was tossed around. It’s not corroborated. And that story died eons ago because it’s straight trash. The same way The Atlantic story about Trump denigrating our war dead is fake news. No one went on the record. No one. And that story died as well.
“The ‘Russian bounties’ story was manufactured by intelligence community leaks and a credulous partisan media,” wrote Tracey. “So, it's only fitting that the Democratic nominees would be constantly harping on it.”
It was not a good night for Democrats.
Maybe Democrats will realize that she’s not even eligible to be president and swap in a last minute replacement like Hillary?
No worries. The Debate Commission and the FBI duly dispatched it down the memory hole at warp speed.
Many believe that Biden won’t complete the term if elected. In this situation, the VEEP performance carries more weight than it normally would.
She, being a female and pretending to be black, checked the two most important boxes.
She was a MEAN GIRL BULLY!!
HilLIAR is ineligible also
Mentally incompetent
Maybe Beto? Or Pelosi? Or Maxine Waters? Or...
proof positive that she is not only a whore, she is a stupid whore!!
If that happened, Pedo Joe would be Arkancided right after the oath of office is finished.
Even when they all use mics and know the questions beforehand, they still do terribly. It makes me laugh.
The criticism is valid of course, but it’s a stretch to call Michael Tracey a “liberal reporter.” I follow the guy on twitter, and Tracey is a moderate who regularly criticizes both sides.
They already printed the ballots. People have been voting by mail for weeks.
There is no changing anyone at this point.
I think Harris is equally as ambitious as Clinton.
That is the sad part of this whole train wreck. People are voting in September before the November 3 date. The election should be held on November 3 and only voter-requested absentee ballots (e.g., military) should be accepted. And all votes should be paper, not electronic.
Joe Biden was pulled out of the bottom of the Dem Presidential primary discard heap and elevated to Soetoro's Veep, after Joe's son, Beau, bailed Barry out of an embarrassing situation with an unsavory fella named Larry Sinclair. Beau used phony charges to extradite Larry from center stage at a Wash DC press conference to Delaware, but not before exposing Barry with crack cocaine and gay-sex scandal. Beau then had to release Larry soon after based on the nonsensical charges.
Comma-La was pulled out of the bottom of the Dem Presidential primary race without securing one delegate. Comma-La was roundly rejected by her own party. She is from a state that Joe does not need. She is a "magical" woman of color who has never really "down wid duh shrtuggah" and equally as magical as Barry.
So, we have a party reject at the top of the current Dem ticket and a Veep running mate who is also a dismal a party reject. Joe dragged Comma-La from the Dem reject pile to make her the Veep nominee, and heir apparent after Joe's mind finally goes into vapor lock.
OK, so she’s a condescending b*tch that wags her finger in America’s face while she tries to scold you into accepting Marxism.
But she can suck the chrome right off of a trailer hitch.
They'll hang onto their loser candidates and insist that we're all ist's (racist/sexist/ageist) for pointing out how much they suck.
