Kamala's Media Blitz Is a Disaster
Hotair ^ | 10/09/2024 | David Strom

Kamala Harris has a real shot at becoming president, but if she does, it will be because her voters hate Trump. It is impossible to believe that anybody thinks she is presidential material. She is stupid and proves it every time she opens her mouth.

This shouldn't be a controversial thing to say. I know Democrats who will openly admit that they think Harris is awful--and her pre-candidacy poll numbers and disastrous 2019 presidential campaign prove that almost everybody knows that she is stupid and incompetent. 

That's why she was hidden from the media for so long and has gone through several "reboots" going back years. The JOY! and "Brat Summer" versions of her campaign worked for a while, but her internal polling must show that she needs to answer questions. Thus her "media blitz" this week. 

It's been a disaster because she is stupid and incompetent. She has made flub after flub--not gaffes per se, but her standard word salads that led to her disastrous poll numbers before her rise to candidate. 

Her 60 Minutes interview was so bad that CBS sliced and diced it to make her sound better, and that didn't work. Yesterday I wrote about CBS completely rewriting one of her answers by splicing different parts of the interview. They even rewrote the transcript! This is the Dan Rather network. 

Remember Kamala’s word salad answer about Israel on 60 Minutes? It’s gone.

But the more damaging interviews were in much friendlier settings, where her interlocutors went out of their way to make her look good. Kamala looks even more vapid than in the harder-hitting 60 Minutes interview. 

Talking with the harridans of The View, Harris was asked about her differences with Biden, and her response was devastating. 

The Trump campaign has spent months and millions of dollars getting the message across that Kamala would be a continuation of Joe Biden.

Kamala just said it herself.

Her advisors recognize that being tied to the unpopular Biden administration is a liability and have leaked that they want to separate themselves from the administration more.

Kamala's media blitz is accomplishing the opposite. Trump has, as I predicted earlier today, turned this into an ad.

Kamala didn't stop there, though. Her appearance on Colbert made things even worse, giving us both the embrace of Biden AND her famous wilted word salad with cheap vinegar. 

Colbert asks: "Under a Harris administration, what would the major changes be and what would stay the same?"

Harris: "Sure. Well, I mean, I'm obviously not Joe Biden. So that would be one change. But also I think it's important to say with 28 days to go, I'm not Donald Trump." pic.twitter.com/hShW96CFGY— Alex Thompson (@AlexThomp) October 9, 2024

Biden is sometimes giving Harris a bearhug while simultaneously undermining aspects of her messaging. He completely trashed her criticisms of Ron DeSantis but kept telling people she was in lockstep with him on policy. It's a poisonous brew, suggesting he is having fun undermining her campaign. 

Trump Senior Adviser @JasonMillerinDC: "The reason why you see Kamala Harris's campaign going on this media blitz, is clearly they're seeing something in their polling — which is probably what we're seeing in our polling — that Kamala Harris is starting to drop off." pic.twitter.com/q0t7l9WglL— Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) October 9, 2024


I am guessing Kamala is being pressured by Biden to keep to a deal that required Democrats to compare him to George Washington and Cincinnattus. What else could explain her continued embrace of Biden when she is also pushing herself as new and a change agent?

Whatever the reason, this media "blitz" (it is hardly that, but as close as Harris will get) is a disaster for her. It may or may not cost her the election--there are few swing voters in this election--but it certainly undermines her efforts to reach "Harris curious" voters who don't like Biden policies but dislike Donald Trump. 

The so called Harris “media tour” is not only a negative for her campaign, it’s also gonna hurt down ballot. https://t.co/4PiqSdvn4t— Curt Anderson (@CurtOnMessage) October 9, 2024

Harris' problem now is the same as her problem in 2019, and it has nothing to do with campaign strategy. Harris is too vapid to be president, and people know it. Her voters will go into the voting booth hoping the Deep State technocrats will save her, but that is just another vote for Biden Part II. 

There are too many variables at play to make a solid prediction about who will win the election. Harris has incredible--so much that I suspect a lot of illegal contributions--amounts of money at her disposal, a political machine that is beyond comprehension, and perhaps people willing to manipulate elections on her side. 

But the candidate, not the machine, is running. And she is horrible. As is the record on which she is running. 

Swing voters will break one direction or another--they don't split evenly. I think they will break for Trump.

I don’t pay attention to this point of view since Obama was elected, and Biden reconfirmed that no one is too empty and ignorant, or even too stupid or senile for the media to get into the presidency.

Frankly Leftist voters really do not deserve to live, sounds harsh but these people should not be breeding.

I made the mistake of clicking on a show billed on Hulu called Tracking Milton.

The first 10 seconds headlined floating headshots of biden & harris, then the cbs format became obvious.

I exited without care. Disaster is right.

Her Howard Stern (scripted) "interview" actually makes her look much better - but NO ONE is watching it.

Only 324,000 views in 12 hours on YouTube, despite DrudgeReport linking to the clip - in red font (her horrible 60 minutes interview has nearly 3 million).

Since she-who-wishes-to-command-obedience wants her name to be pronounced

COMM-allah

could someone with a working knowledge of Arabic please explain what “COMM” means?

Is that a modifier/adjective to “Allah”?

If this Democrat Dimwit Kamala Harris becomes pResident I doubt that this country will survive 4 more years.

Where's Walzo? Find Tim Walz for extra credit! Fun for everyone!

The laughter and the giggling are a self-manufactured distraction to turn attention away from her nervousness, incompetence and inexperience.



Where's Walzo NOW? Find Tim Walz AGAIN for super extra credit!

Kamala is running on fumes. She looks like she has aged 10 years since August. It’s clear that she doesn’t have the stamina for the job. In comparison, Trump is the energizer bunny and keeps on going and going.

For the first time in her life Harris has to do things herself, and the results display her lack of competence on even minor things.

What ‘media blitz’?

Going on The View? Howard Stern? Colbert?

Is that what’s considered ‘media’ these days?

She should be on Meet The Press, Face The Nation, This Week, Fox News Sunday...............

If it’s really up to the voters, and they actually vote, I don’t see how Harris is even viable. Of course that leaves out any dirty tricks the Democrats might pull, so who knows?

All we can do is pray, and vote.
But it is God Himself who raises kings and deposes kings, for His divine purposes.

If it is His desire to judge America and finds her wanting, (think the slaughter of babies and embrace of ant-Jewish sentiments, for starters) then Harris will win and our nation will die a painful death.

If He desires to show us yet more mercy (which we do NOT deserve), then Trump will win despite the Dems cheating efforts.

President Trump Lighthearted, and Lengthy, Discussion with Flagrant Podcast

October 9, 2024 | Sundance 

President Trump did a more lighthearted interview/discussion with the Flagrant podcast to, in their words: “break down his stance on abortion, who he really thinks tried to take him out, and his FAVORITE African-American. This might be Trumps longest interview ever, a classic for sure.”

PickingTamponTim as her VP did nothing to bolster her campaign and has actually made things worse as Walz is clearly a serial liar and as Governor has run the State of Minnesota into the ground

If Kamala Harris gets in I’ll assume that it’s now the last hurrah for this nation before Satan’s New World Order of Daniel 7:23

We have a LOT of stupid people in this country that are already on board with Godless and Reprobate agendas
