'Kamala's Media Blitz Is a Disaster'

'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.
I don’t think there’s been a bigger blunder in the history of politics.

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

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."

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—

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'
