Betting Markets Dump Kamala Harris After CNN Interview
Breitbart ^ | 08/30/2024 | Simon Kent

Posted on 08/30/2024 6:53:27 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

The cold, hard world of betting markets framing the outcome of the 2024 presidential election were singularly unimpressed by the showing of Kamala Harris during her CNN interview on Thursday evening.

Newsweek sought the views of two leading bookmakers and this was the outcome of the pre-taped Harris-Walz chat with Dana Bash:

The vice president went from being the favorite to win with odds of 10/11 (52.4 percent) on Thursday to tied with Donald Trump on 19/20 (51.3 percent) each on Friday morning, according to the Star Sports betting company.

Over the same period, Trump’s odds of victory in November improved from 21/20 (48.8 percent) before the interview to 20/21 (51.2 percent), according to U.K. based bookmaker Betfair.

Thursday’s interview with CNN’s Dana Bash was the first time Harris faced unscripted questions since she was anointed at the Democratic Party nominee and President Joe Biden pushed to the sidelines.

It was also pretty funny when Tampax Timmy said that his lies were/are the result of his bad grammar.

KOMmala is supposedly how we’re to pronounce her name.

But KAMmala and KuhMAHla are too commonly being used for those supposed mispronunciations to be removed from the mouths of ordinary people.

Honorary mentions:

KuhMILla (as in, Camilla)
And KarMELuh (as in, Carmela)

...these last two being what people say when they punt on actually trying to get it right and just revert to something familiar.

I agree. Last month the Dems basically beheaded Louis the XVI and coronated Marie Antionette in his place. Even the French knew that was a bad idea.

Her crazy cackle is an instinctive defensive mechanism. When stressed its how she attempts to hide her cluelessness and stupidity. Its a dismissive, not a humorous, type of laugh.

The problem for her is that her cackling outbursts are not really controllable.

They truly are the Gruesome Twosome. I wonder what the protocol would be if TPTB decided, “All new candidates on the ticket”. I think they could’ve pulled it off before or during the DNC Convention, but now ... not so much.

RE: Betting Markets Dump Kamala Harris After CNN Interview,

I don’t know about. The latest Betting odds at Polymarket.com is still Donald Trump 50%, Kamala Harris 49%. About the same as yesterday before the interview.

In fact,

https://electionbettingodds.com/

Has Kamala at 49.2% to Trump 49%

Hardly dumping.

Among the competing (and quarreling) campaign staffers (Harris’, Obama’s and Biden’s), I wonder whose decision it was to have her interview accompanied by her emotional-support puppy?

Why is Texas a different shade of red?
Who thinks the major population centers don’t control the nation? If you do, you would be wrong.
The electoral college system is hardly working if it is to protect smaller populations from being overwhelmed.

Kamala was never ready for Prime Time. She got the nod presumably because she backed Schumer's and Pelosi's plan to invoke the 25th Amendment if Joe didn't step aside.

I think Chuck and Nancy wanted someone else (Newsom?) but that got torpedoed by Joe's FU in the sudden announcement that Heels-Up is taking over for him.

It's a sure thing that she's only on the ticket because she's black. PERIOD

The Democrats painted themselves into a corner with the Biden/Harris sham and couldn't squirm out of it. Remember too, Joe's 'condition' and the dilly dally he did about staying in the campaign put a time constraint on what ever chances they had to replace Kamala

Kamala has the goods on all the ‘Nancy & Co.’ monkeyshines and is certainly holding it over their heads. And ... Liberals didn't want to spend what it would cost them to make her go away!

“She and Walz both bombed EVEN WITH the scripted questions and favorable editing the 1 hour interview chopped down to 18 minutes.”

Exactly. CNN only could find 18 minutes of the interview that they thought was airable. The rest is on the cutting room floor, ready for the janitor to sweep it up and put it in the trash can.

From the look on her face, exhausted and scared, I’m surprised she even wants the POTUS job.

I have been around people who have to end a sentence-EVERY sentence with a laugh. It really gets irritating.

She never wanted the job. She simply wants to cruise AF1, and have ss agents move the unwashed out of her way when she walks down the street.

Making policy and world impactin decisions? way over her head, best left to the PTB.

And of course if they bypassed her, the identity-politics gang would go ape.
