The outpouring of fawning media narratives (they can’t even be described as stories), the hundreds of millions spent building an insta-cult of personality through social media and the joy-themed DNC convention were meant to transform Vice President Kamala Harris from an unpopular number two into Obama number two.
And it seemed to be working.
Even many Republicans acted like Kamala was inevitable. Conservatives in private conversations were worried. The pervasive narrative had gotten into their heads.
And then Kamala sat down to do what she had avoided since the Biden coup… an interview.
Over the brief part of the interview that was aired, during which she spoke for barely half of it, with Gov. Tim Walz oddly enough by her side, Kamala showed why her people had kept her away from interviews.
Kamala is not Obama. She doesn’t have the charisma, the arrogance, the narcissism, and the surefootedness that made him seem like a celebrity. She’s a backbench candidate who stumbled into the front bench. In short, she is the ‘Veep’.
Instead of assertive, Kamala seemed subdued, overshadowed by Walz, even though he didn’t speak much, nervous, and prone to spouting meaningless word salads that didn’t actually answer the questions.
The media is celebrating that during a softball interview, Kamala didn’t commit any egregious errors. The entire interview, in the friendliest of surroundings, was an error.
Kamala demolished the inevitably that her movement had spent so much time and effort constructing. She came off as fragile rather than inevitable. A hothouse flower who couldn’t be exposed to too much public interaction.
I’ve said before that Kamala is the worst combination of Hillary and Obama. That proved true again.
This time she had none of Hillary’s bravado or assertiveness, but all of her inability to provide meaningful answers. All of Obama’s reliance on identity politics, but little of his ability to turn that into a plus.
Mostly, Kamala came off as fragile, evasive, inarticulate, and, even on a visual level, hiding from the interview. She kept looking down, instead of ahead, hesitated and seemed unwilling to fully engage with what any politician at her level had done ten thousand times.
Anything but inevitable. Donors will notice. And they will not be happy.
Duncan says
She’s on drugs – guaranteed.
TruthLaser says
Yes, Coupmala was looking down so much, that she appeared to be reading, yet nothing was there to read. Averting her eyes that much suggests dishonesty or trying to remember the ingredients for making a word salad.
Domenic Pepe says
Kamala is working very hard to prevent her laughing Hyena psychopathic berserk persona to emerge publicly.
When it does emerge she is a dead Peking duck awaiting the final roasting by Donald Trump.
Steve Kardas says
“She’s a backbench candidate who stumbled into the front bench. ”
Harris is in so over her head she is an insult to people over their head.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Democrats rise to the level of their incompetence, then keep rising 🙂
Steve Kardas says
Leftist in power intentionally put incompetence into positions of great importance and responsibility to destroy what works. Nothing new here.
Cassandra says
I worked for a time in the uk civil service and it was exactly the same: total morons were whisked swiftly upwards and the more clueless the quicker they ascended.
Jeff Bargholz says
Like turds in water.
Kit_Jefferson says
Her gross incompetence was also very much on display.
Jeff Bargholz says
It always is. I suppose her only skill is pleasing ugly old guys thirty years older than her.
She couldn’t please me if she had a thousand years of practice, and I’m the same age as her although she looks ten years older than me. What a skaggy skank.
Brian says
While in office, Obama called the American people, “stupid,” Biden/Harris proved he was half right.
Brian Martin says
But unfortunately donors will still donate
Jeff Bargholz says
And D-Bag voters will still vote.
Gordon says
It’s obvious that none of her advisors can be honest with her, and therefore she only has the most craven belly slitherers(like Tampon Tim) around her. The DEI ticket is a race to the bottom of the barrel.
Sarah says
Donors won’t care. They already know who she is. The machine will pivot accordingly to reduce damage control. Never underestimate the left, or the stupidity of half the country.
Also, despite the plethora of things you and we may observe and corrrectly identify as huge problems and red flags about Harris, approximately half the country doesn’t view it that way and/or don’t care one bit. And herein lies the problem. We are an unseroius nation of fools at this point.
And speaking of which, it’s shocking how many conservatives aren’t even registered to vote. I encounter them frequently. Another form of stupid.
And finally, the fact that this election is even close tells you everything you need to know. And while the polls might be off, they’re not that off. Trump should be running away with it. But he’s not because, among other things (1) at least half the country is stupid beyond repair, (2) Trump is pathetic in how he communicates his ideas, talking like a 12-yr-old, droning on and on, going off on tangents of tangents, talking too long, etc, and (3) the media is pumping out messaging 24/7/365 that’s propping up Harris and denegrading Trump and despite the legacy media declining in viewship it still has enormous influence.
We need all hands on deck. As much as I love FPM, at this point every single place like this and every single author needs to be part of boots on the ground, sharing with readers what they’re doing, helping to organize, and lighting a fire under those who visit this site. We have neither the time nor the luxury of ivory tower writing, albeit by great minds. It’s now or never folks.
Jeff Bargholz says
Actually, Trump coveys his principles with great clarity. I’ve watched very many of his rallies.
Angel Jacob says
She is a DEI hire. By now half the nation is brainwashed to worship the DEI hires, to the extent of giving all control to them.
It is safe to say half the nation is suicidal.
Kynarion Hellenis says
I know this is super judgy of me, but Kamala seems to be the perfect woman for a weak, dissolute man. She does not challenge his intellect, his character or his morals. She is easy in every way that fosters and encourages weak, inconsequential men.
Just as Biden was a puppet, she will be a better puppet. Her value is like the opposite of Trump’s – she exposes the deep state for what it is, for no one can believe this empress has beautiful new clothes.
Jeff Bargholz says
I despise weak simp men. They harm society. My girls aren’t shy about telling me I’m too willful and assertive but I prefer that to the opposite.
Look at scum like Biden and Schumer. Weaklings who were handed power they didn’t earn, don’t deserve and abuse. They harm America with their every breath.
Kynarion Hellenis says
I wonder where your girls get the idea they can tell you how to be masculine?
I am with you. Weak men are just awful. My experience is they were very attracted to my appearance when I was young, but couldn’t exit fast enough after I opened my mouth and displayed a bit of brain. Small mercies.
Atikva says
The mere fact that she has accepted the islamo-leftist clique’s decision to be their totem under the guise of America’s President & Commander-in-Chief shows that she isn’t even conscious of her obvious limitations. She has learnt nothing from a already long career in politics.
As to Mr. Obama’s ‘charisma’ or ‘surefootedness’, they weren’t that obvious : I remember him being confused during a rally as to which State he was in, with Michelle sternly correcting him. No, in those days, America saw only one thing: a (kind of) ‘black’ man was about to enter the White House – the rest was swept under the carpet..
Jeff Bargholz says
Bareback Hasbeen Osama is an empty suit and always has been. He has ZERO charisma or stage presence. Delusional, loser, racist wimps just want him to so that’s what they see. He’s actually very annoying.
He used to be bullied back in high school. He deserves some new ass kickings.
Kasandra says
The Dems know what an incompetent nothing burger she is. That’s why they keep her as far away as possible from anything that doesn’t involve a teleprompter. She’s just the latest front person for the cabal currently running the country with Joe asleep on the beach and her off campaigning. Maybe I should have said Politburo rather than cabal.
