As speculation continues to swirl around the frenzied campaign to replace Joe Biden and just who that replacement might be, the names of several prominent blue state governors have been widely reported on and discussed, like Gavin Newsom in California and Michigan's Gretchen Whitmer.
Vice President Kamala Harris, on the other hand, has almost been an afterthought.
In a hypothetical situation where there is talk of replacing the president at the top of the ticket, you'd think the default answer would be to turn to the veep - and stay there.
But we are not in normal times, this is not a hypothetical situation, and Kamala Harris is not your typical vice president considering what she knows about actually leading a nation, especially through troubling times, could be placed in a thimble with plenty of room to spare.
Harris, a failed presidential candidate, was of course picked in 2020 for DEI-esque reasons as Joe Biden at the time was under immense pressure from powerful Democrats to select a woman of color for his VP nominee or else. He settled on Harris to try and quiet the wokesters in his party, the same ones who are now threatening to "blow the party up" should the DNC overlook Harris in the event Biden is replaced - especially if that person is a white man.
But as the media puff pieces about Kamala crank up, and as she is likely in the midst of measuring the drapes, the "open secret" about Kamala Harris is also once again bubbling to the surface - and it is one that I believe is fueling the "anybody but Kamala" panic on Capitol Hill and among big Dem donors, as explained well by left-leaning political commentator/author Matt Stoller:
It's an open secret that Kamala Harris is stupid and isn't good at campaigning. Are we going to pretend that we can move from one open secret about Biden's senility straight to another one about the next nominee? Don't answer that.— Matt Stoller (@matthewstoller) July 3, 2024
It will be fun to watch Kamala Harris mishandle question after question the gist of which is "What did you know about Biden's condition and when did you know it?"
What's she going to do? Pivot to her ideas on tackling inflation?— Matt Stoller (@matthewstoller) July 3, 2024
We've already had a preview of sorts on this front, as Harris was hit the night of Biden's disastrous debate performance with a question from CNN's Anderson Cooper about what people were saying about it. Here's a partial video clip from that exchange:
ANDERSON COOPER: "[Biden] was a very different person on the stage four years ago when you debated him. That's certainly true, is it not?!"
KAMALA HARRIS: "I got the point that you're making...The last three and a half years, up until today, performed in a way..." pic.twitter.com/NWiqGigj2z— Townhall.com (@townhallcom) June 28, 2024
Just cringe on steroids, and it won't get any better. This is who Kamala Harris is and always will be, never being able to rise to the moment and expecting to be shown deference because of the much-hyped historical "firsts" represented by her vice presidency.
Well here's another modern-day "first" for Kamala: Democrats don't want to elevate the vice president to the presidential nominee role in this situation because they know deep down she's not very good at what she does, as evidenced by the fact that there's nothing she's done since taking office that disproves that very inconvenient fact.
In short, Democrats are confirming in their own way that they know much of what their conservative critics said about Kamala Harris' "skills" all along is true, just like much of what has been said about Joe Biden's incoherency and acuity since before he was sworn in was true.

Who will be the next puppet.
Who would want to submit themselves to such a thing?
Remember when there use to be at least one decent honorable democrat in this country?
Not no mo!
She is a polished, pretty, air-head.
Case closed.
she is stupid
Adding this to the book,”Deep Thoughts by Kamala Harris “
Won’t it be appropriate that we end up with the first black woman POTUS who got to the the top of the RAT party by sucking up.
We’re beginning to sound. lot like the last days of Rome.
“ How did she get through law school?”
Probably using the same methods of how she got into politics.
Hawk . . . .tuah :)
She has the Hitlery Kackel, could it be the same demon?
Heels up Harris gives stupid c*nts a bad name.
Yeah, that's Kamala talking. Reminds me of the 2000 movie "Bedazzled" when Elliot Richards is transformed by the devil into a basketball champ, who can't string together any words into coherent speech. And he had a tiny wee-wee. Kamala Harris is just like that, except she can't play basketball but might be good at other physical sports with her heels up in the air.
Hi GSC,
Clean your keyboard, better with a small vacuum cleaner.
Your post transposed the numbers, 5 &7! Probably the keyboard is soiled or maybe a tooth pick or a wood chip has caused the 7/5 keys to malfunction.
Harris has an IQ of 57, no more.
Bammie wants her. nuff said.
Not sure what they are talking about. She handled Anderson Cooper well and stayed relentlessly on message. She did better at not taking that bait from Cooper than many Republicans would have.
None of this is new. Harris was a known idiot prior to her selection as VP and was selected because she’s an idiot and easy to control. Same with Biden’s dementia, he’s in control of nothing except a few corruption projects with his son.
This is what happens when you install an insurance policy for
a Vice-President. No one would challenge Joe, because the
replacement would be unthinkable.
Now her at the top of the ticked is unthinkable too.
I think she’s problematic on that count.
She thinks she worked her way to this point, because she’s
so brilliant. I don’t think she would take orders from
Obama. His husband would.
There is something about her idiosyncraticly repetitive, even recursive (for coders) circling back to a word that says neurological problem to me, probably a Broca’s Area thing.
Polished??? Pretty???
