If President Biden is serious about seeking a second term, he must fix the problem of his vice president, Kamala Harris.
Though Biden’s poll numbers are currently not much better than Harris’, latest polling by the Los Angeles Times finds as of this month “41% of registered voters had a favorable opinion of Harris and 53% had an unfavorable opinion — a net rating of -12 percentage points.” One wonders what those 41 percent see as Harris’ accomplishments, because there have been none, as far as I can tell.
Republicans will likely make Biden’s age an issue in the coming campaign and whether Harris is qualified and smart enough to become president should something happen to him. That has always been important in choosing any vice president.
Harris may be unique among modern vice presidents because in addition to what would look like a weak resume if she were applying for a second term, she has the additional baggage of being inarticulate.
Earlier this month at an event sponsored by Essence magazine in New Orleans, Harris said things I defy anyone to translate:
“Culture is (pause) It is a reflection of our moment in our time, right? And, and present culture is the way we express our feeling about the moment. And, and we should always find time to express how we feel about the moment that is a reflection of joy ’cause, eeeh, you know, it comes in the morning (cackles). We also have to find ways to also express the way we feel about the moment in terms of just having language and, and and, a connection to how people are experiencing life and I think about it in that way, too.”
I tried reading her comments backward, thinking she might be speaking in code, but that wasn’t any clearer.
Two women on stage with Harris are seen nodding as if they understand what she is saying. They should tell us.
Critics have called her verbiage a “word salad.” She seems to be picking words at random from a dictionary without connecting verbs, thoughts, or relevance.
I never thought anyone could make President Biden seem more articulate. She does, with or without a teleprompter.
Effective politicians need to be able to communicate with voters and the larger public. Not all our presidents and vice presidents have the gift of speaking well like Daniel Webster, Winston Churchill or in recent times, Ronald Reagan, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, but at least most could speak “the king’s English” and be understood.
Imagine a presidential speech from Kamala Harris that begins “Good evening, my fellow Americans” and quickly descends to the level of her remarks in New Orleans. Worse, does she understand and can she articulate the administration’s foreign and domestic policies? She was tasked with doing something about the border, but has done nothing, chiefly because in some fairness to her, President Biden appears to want it kept open.
There is not a single accomplishment any of those 41 percenters who have a favorable opinion of Harris can point to.
It is why President Biden must replace her as his running mate. He would face a backlash from groups that have hailed her as the first female and person of color vice president and who appear more interested in diversity than in real accomplishments. A stronger, more accomplished and articulate vice president would be the best insurance policy for Democrats should Biden win and not be able to finish a second term.
Her method of speaking reminds me of Gracie Allen’s comments to George Burns on the “Burns and Allen Show.” Allen did it deliberately as part of their comedy routine. For Harris it’s normal. How did she ever get through grade school, let alone law school?
she screwed the law school dean..
She was Knee-Dee
I think Kamala is under huge pressure from Obama’s staff to keep her mouth shut. It is obvious she is afraid to say anything. She wasn’t this inarticulate during the Dem debates.
The Dems are going to drag out any indictments of the Bidens until at least next year. They don’t want Kamala to be president even for one day. In the meantime, they are furiously working behind the scenes deciding who will be Joe’s replacement. This time, they’ve got RFK and Cornell West to contend with. They are also plotting the 2024 election steal with Marc Elias most likely at the helm, Alex 20x-In-The-White-House Soros who has expressed his “strong interest in voting rights,” and Zuckerberg to supply millions to pay for it all.
What happened to her speech writers? A good speech writer and a teleprompter could go a long way toward improving her image. I suspect she has stage fright. I do, too, but could at least piece together coherent sentences despite any discomfort, when I was in grad school. Her poor performance is inexplicable.
All her staff quit kn her because she treats her “inferiors” horribly.
Just think, she could be the next President in the near future. Hmm, four more years of Biden and then eight years of Harris in the White House. What a wonderful future for America. Also, she would be the first woman, first Asian in the White House.
Putin will be having his way with her within a week of God forbid, her occupying the Oval Office. Which means all of us have better prevent voter fraud by all means necessary this time around.
For those who gave me two thumbs down, don’t be so sure it will not happen in the future. She could get most of the liberal white vote, most of the black and Asian vote, and a lot of the women’s vote of other racial groups.
She jettisoned any votes from her former staff who quickly tired of her abusive screeds & low IQ.
Her hissy fits toward staff are on par with Hillary & Bella Abzug – all of them lackluster fools who famously vented their failures on any unlucky enough to be nearby (including the hapless Slick Willie himself.)
Don’t worry. Between teleprompters and Artificial Intelligence I’m sure they can find a way to portray her as almost intelligent and articulate. BTW, what’s with, “President Biden appears to want it (i.e. the border) kept open.” “Appears?” During the campaign he told people to come to the border. On the day he was inaugurated he issued executive orders gutting our ability to prevent or punish illegal entry and, together with Mayorkis, has been working hard to keep the southern border open and prevent removal from the interior of the country ever since. I don’t think “appears” cuts it. He’s deliberately destroyed our borders to bring in millions of future Dem voters and change the nation’s demographics.
Fentanyl addicts love the policy.
If only poor George Floyd hadn’t overdosed on it, he’d be rejoicing in the over 300% drop in prices (possibly making the low-life less prone to pistol-whip pregnant ladies during a robbery.)
Am I on solid ground if I presume she is an earthling?
And that her speech “anomalies” are not due to unfamiliarity with communication through interpretation of variations in the compression of atmospheric gases?
Is it possible that biological reproductive ceremonies are similar where she comes from, but communication is achieved by thought reading?
This would explain why she’s good at the first, and expelled for the second.
Governance by an intergalactic intellectual reject would be another memorable first, but the administration’s modesty prevails.
That’s leadership in action!
LOLOLOLOLOL!
You is very funny!
p.s. funny but with all her experiences with the “Johnsons” she’s never bore a kid herself. Maybe that’s a good thing, or maybe the cuckolded feigele (Emhoff) she’s “married” to can’t get it up.
Well, Mr Emhoff did actual.y sire an alien of his own. A world reknowed model no less.
Decades ago Cal Thomas was the voice of sanity on NPR. I also thought he had a good speaking voice for radio.
Is Cal still Never Trump!
Everything is funny to her, there are things she should care about but does nothing.
As said,
BOZO N’ HO.
There simply MUST be a reason the Dems put Harris on the ticket with Biden in the first place. What is that reason?
Does it matter at this point? She’s there and if Joe doesn’t succeed at messing up the country for good, Harris is on stand-by to finish the job.
To make what is about to happen to this country, and to the rest of the world, as unthinkably destructive as is possible in order to achieve the condition whereby having a totally corrupt traitor sitting in the seat of executive power, actively banking bribes which may very well total over a billion US dollars while he actively sabotages our country, and the future of the species of liberty and promise of dignity that the USofA has offered the world for close to a quarter of a millennia.
That’s a quite a tall order. She’s almost that bad, or just bad enough. Unfortunately, it seems we are destined to find out.
Heaven help us. We need it.
Poorly worded. Android rewrites closed sentences, closed paragraphs. I look back and see gibberish. Making corrections unleashes changes elsewhere. The o/s is unfamiliar with English language conventions.
Her job is to make us prefer continued corruption and destruction.
Because the Democrats offer nothing else..
Maybe VP Horris is cackling at the grifter frauds who like mindless bobbleheads pretend to know what she’s talking about. I don’t want to know the language of a do nothing fraud descendant of a slave owner who pretends to care about poc “at the moment, eeeeh”
I also remember last year when she met China’s president, shook his hand, then proceeded to wipe her hand on her pants. Oh boy, talk about actions speaking louder than words! That gesture in and of itself set things WAY back.
She is the equivalent of a 9 year old.
The LGBTQIFJB mob would be wriggling with joy at the thought of a nine year old with the Ho’s sexual background!
Her spewing out about culture is what is known in certain circles as a Cocaine rant.
I think you give Barack too much credit, During his years Dennis Prager would read and dissect his speeches and they are filled with flowery words that together ment nothing.
This is not stage fright we are seeing in Kampala. This is a pothead whose brain is mush, or maybe she is just really dumb. Either way it is horrific to think of her in the Oval Office.
I meet this beast only one time while she was SF D.A. Her first dialog then was, why the F—- would I waste my time with that crap.. I was working with the previous D.A. and the building dept. for a few years. Calling where a worth-less inept pig is an insult to piggy. She gives stupidity a new meaning.
i think i detect an underlying admiration for kakala , i know you all secretly love venn diagrams , yellow school buses and who could forget that AI stands for artificial intelligence . who knew !!
