Kamala Harris’ Impossible Challenge

Kamala Harris is roundly criticized for feeding America a steady diet of word salads. But what else can she do, given her impossible task of making the Democratic Party’s progressive policies palatable to the American people?

To appreciate Harris’ challenge, note that none of her top surrogates have been able to square that circle either. There is no Democrat who makes you think, why can’t our candidate just say that – as Sen. Tom Cotton and Vivek Ramaswamy do for Republicans while describing Donald Trump’s policies. Harris’ stand-ins may not get lost in the weeds of pablum, as Harris did last week when she told a crowd, “I grew up understanding the children of the community are the children of the community.” But when they are not comparing Trump to Hitler, her representatives are as gauzy and incoherent as she is.

...

Yes, Harris and her surrogates could tell the truth about their intentions to continue the unpopular and feckless policies the Biden administration has imposed on the country during the last four years. But there’s an election to win.

The brazenness of their deception is breathtaking. Consider Harris’ refusal to meet the press. She’ll take softball questions from carefully selected local outlets but flatly refuses to hold unscripted press conferences that might include a few challenging questions. Her handlers’ apparent fear is that she will come across as incoherent – not because she is stupid, but because she has to say something, so long as it’s not the truth about her record and her party’s goals.

The press corps is happy to play along, pretending her unscripted silence is normal. It’s not. It’s a scandal.

Yes...anyone trying to explain the Rat Party agenda in a positive way would have trouble. But Heel Up’s problem is exacerbated by her 85 IQ.

Hiding Biden was bad, now Hiding Harris is worse. The great cover-up now underway by the paid off media.
