The already-long 2024 presidential campaign has become the strangest in modern history.
Here are 10 unanswered questions that illustrate how and why we’ve entered this bizarro world:
1. How can Kamala Harris merely promise us fixes to come in 2025 for inflation and an open border when she is still vice president for another six months? Why can’t she enact her proposed solutions to these problems (which she helped create) right now?
2. Would the media prefer to help her win but lose further credibility themselves by failing to ask why she has disowned her last three decades of leftist agendas, or to reclaim some of their reputations and thereby risk her losing?
3. Does the left appreciate the new campaign and election protocols it has now established?
That is to say:
Cancel by fiat their virtual nominee four months before the election when he sinks in the polls?
Nullify the outcome of a year of primaries and the will of 14 million voters?
Threaten a sitting president with removal by the 25th Amendment process unless he steps aside as his party nominee?
Anoint a replacement nominee before the convention and without a single primary — and then prevent any rival candidates from challenging her?
4. After the precedents of 2020 and 2024, is the future orthodox protocol for any Democratic nominee now to avoid all interviews and extempore speaking, and stick to teleprompted speeches and scripted responses only?
Is the fear that a transparent progressive messenger with an overt and honest left-wing message will double down on it and thus guarantee defeat?
5. For the next 80 days, has the chameleon-like Harris now become a temporary MAGA candidate, as she expropriates former President Donald Trump’s positions from border security to no taxes on tips?....

Another VDH ping
All good questions the Left sees no reason to answer.
And that shooting Trump in many leftist quarters would subsequently earn the unhinged killer eternal fame, applause, and immortality?
And that if there are such anticipated rewards and perceived opportunities, then we may well see more attempts on candidate Trump’s life?

One of my favorite lines from the article!
The new 80-day MAGA Harris line I will use in public.
Nicely played.
That was a great line. When I was editing to get to the 300 word limit, I was hoping I would not have to edit that out of the post.
The Enemedia and Commiekamala have no credibility to lose; they all are lying, murdering traitors.
Like John Dean, and yet the left wants to pretend that the motive to shoot Trump is unknown. Oh, and did you know that CNN had John Hinkley on one day? They did.
Excellent article. Awesome irrefutable reasoning.

Great comments at the linked site!
Best comment calls the cackling one “Kamaleo”.
Great mash-up of her name with chameleon.
Commie-La is mine.
