THE DEEP UNPOPULARITY OF KAMALA HARRIS
Powerline ^ | MAY 17, 2021 | JOHN HINDERAKER

Posted on 05/17/2021 3:49:08 PM PDT by Hojczyk

To me, Kamala Harris was one of the mysteries of the 2020 election cycle. She seemed to check a lot of boxes, and I saw her as an attractive candidate who had a good shot–maybe the best–at the Democratic presidential nomination. Instead, her campaign crumbled out of the starting gate, and notwithstanding ample initial fundraising, she didn’t make it to the Iowa caucuses. Despite having a number of superficial advantages, to paraphrase the old joke about dog food, the voters just didn’t like her.

Now, a YouGov poll finds Harris under water, with 41% viewing her favorably and 48% unfavorably. The Washington Examiner points out that this negative perception contrasts strongly with other recent vice presidents. Dick Cheney, Mike Pence and Joe Biden himself, in 2009, all polled quite a bit better at a similar stage.

Harris has never shown much skill or appeal as a politician. Her path to the top in California, essentially a one-party state at this point, was paved by her illicit relationship with Willie Brown. I am not sure what it is about Harris that repels voters, but it should scare the Democrats. It is highly unlikely that Joe Biden will be a candidate for re-election in 2024, assuming he survives that long.

Heck, Tulsi Gabbard destroyed Harris on the debate stage. But in all likelihood, the Democrats are stuck with her. If Biden dies or becomes incapacitated between now and 2024, Harris will be the incumbent. If Biden survives but graciously steps down after one term, it would be fratricidal for the Democrats to try to push Harris aside and nominate someone else. So, for better or worse, the Democrats are probably stuck with her.

she’s intensely unpopular and she’s ineligible

my bet is that SorozNazi will install her in the White House within a year

Quite soon:

Kamala: Here I am, ready or not, America, I am the President and you are my subjects. Get used to it. (Her loud, cackling hyena laughter goes on for 1.5 minutes).

The writer saw her as “an attractive candidate.” That says it all. Do your own research people.

The Establishment didn't just want to steal the election. They wanted to stick their thumb in the voters' eyes to show them who's boss.

Kamala is that thumb.

Her dislikes go up even more every time she opens her mouth. That’s why her handlers are keeping her quiet. They know how unlikeable she is.

The only one that like her with her mouth open was Willie Brown.

Whoevere is pulling the strings behind the Biden Administration doesn’t want anyone watching Biden or Haris. The more the public sees them the more incompetent they both are shown to be. We mock Biden’s viewing numbers. The Dem politburo laughs. They got a man with dementia into the White House.

H1B Indian scumbags absolutely love her - she was the co-sponsor of the Make India Great Again Bill, S.386, that would ban everyone else but Indians from coming into the US on a Green Card for 12 to 16 years.

I have no doubt Biden will no longer be President soon. That is carefully worded.

When Harris is ushered in, unelected directly and not appealing to most, she will try like Hillary to be a macho man so no one will think she is inferior to men. Thus, we are in bad danger of a nuclear war as she pushes the adversaries to their breaking point so as to appear tough and strong.

That’s why several women I have met still say “Actaually, I really prefer a male boss. You can reason with them and work with them.”

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee has the highest turnover of staff in DC and is said to prefer harsh swearing reprimands and humiliation as her supervisory method. She had 11 chiefs of staff under her in 11 years-—the record for the House.

I am not sure what it is about Harris that repels voters, but it should scare the Democrats......Is that meant to be a joke? The woman redefines incompetency and she knows it. That’s probably the one thing she is honest about.

Ask her something of substance or ask her to do something of substance(deal with the border) and what does she do? Giggle, because she knows that she is so far over her head that at this point, she wants no part of calling the White House home and wants no part of having to make any big decisions.

It’s all fun and games when you’re on the sidelines, 1 of 100 morons in the Senate, where what you say or do doesn’t really matter as long as you toe the party line.

You can run your mouth all day long about what you would and wouldn’t do when you know you can’t do anything.

But, when it comes time that your name and signature are on the bottom of that paper....NOPE NOPE and NOPE.


If Biden dies or becomes incapacitated between now and 2024, Harris will be the incumbent....I was one of the ones that thought CornPop would be gone by now. But I don’t think that’s going to happen. There is/are puppet masters pulling all the strings. Whether its the person that was in the WH before President Trump, Soros, or whoever, it doesn’t matter. For her, as long as CornPop is taking all the heat, she can stay in the shadows and get all the perks as if she were President without any of the responsibility.

They don't mind. Harris is, if you are a leftist, everything Hillary was supposed to be and never got to be, in part because racism trumps sexism (Obama), and in part because Trump trumps everyone when he isn't cheated out of what he earned.

A Harrisgasm is almost as good as a Hillarygasm, and if Biden can stay alive until January 2023, Harris can be President until January 2033.
