Kamala Harris’ candidacy is dead and so is the Hollywood celebrity endorsement.

She officially killed that too.

By turning her failed presidential effort into a three month long variety show with splashy performances, boldface speakers and a carefully rolled out succession of endorsements from La La Land’s most coddled citizens.

Not sure that enough people really cared about who said what. Maybe the only thing that mattered was the cost of groceries, gas and costs of things in general.

Clooney, Oprah and Beyonce (and many others who announced their support for Kamala) are considering that they damaged their brand with over half of America.

For me, celebrities start with a presumption of incompetence. Occasionally, they succeed in overcoming that presumption, like James Woods.

She is to stupid to put an issue campaign or basic speech together, much less deliver one

Celebrities don’t have anything to do with us average nobodies. They live in their own closed off bubbles and often have private security to keep us nobodies from coming into contact with them. They live in a different world, so we don’t relate to them or care what they think. I personally don’t feel any connection to these strangers. I think they’re creepy, weird zombies.

Especially nowadays, there are none who are mature and appealing in general. They have obnoxious egotistical personalities and it’s their way or the highway, even while making stupid comments all the time

In fact, their her stupidity often gives fodder to our side

She PAID millions to these wankers. $11 million to Beyonce. $5.1 to Lizzo. And, others like Clinton and Obama end up paying themselves by channeling donations into their own pockets. And, it failed.

Elon Musk would be another. But then his endorsement comes with lots of policy wisdom, he isn’t just another empty-headed actor or entertainer. Him talking about the fact that he and SpaceX can put rockets on the pad quicker than the FenGov bureaucracy system can approve the launches was really eye-opening for me.

I think about how many times Springsteen has shown up, singing and doing his jerking chicken neck thing while playing guitar with his mouth wide. open - I just lauuuuugh and lauuuuugh and lauuuuugh.

Dems surround themselves with celebrities, hoping they will be fast friends and invited to all the Hollywood galas.

Hollywood as we knew it is a dying industry. At some point in the past Hollywood came to a crossroad and had two paths, they choose poorly. Tom Hank’s new move HERE is reported to have had a $5,000,000 opening week. This should be a wake up call, this is the canary in the coal mine. Their anti-Trump hate filled messages were heard by the American people and they were offended. Any good will Hollywood had build up over the century has been squandered in trying to drag a candidate across the Finnish line, not because she was the best choice for America, but because she represented D.E.I at it’s best, symbol over merit.

She was so bad that honestly Tim Walz was the only person on the planet worse and could barely make her appear better by comparison. So the brain dead liberals thought, that’s our winning ticket.

Yeah. Steven Crowder had a fun conversation with James Woods during the elections returns show. Woods is a good dude.

The VP spot usually ensures POTUS looks too good to replace. They scrapped the bottom of the barrel with Walz.

The whole thing just further demonstrates how out of touch and clueless most celebs are.

One can hardly blame the monkey for the tune the organ grinder plays.

Very few were “A-Listers”. They were almost exclusively has-beens and never-were.
