I’m not ready to pull the plug on my prediction that Kamala Harris would be the Democrat nominee in 2020…yet. There’s way too much time for her and she has way too much ambition to count her out. But I have to admit that I am legitimately shocked at how bad she is at this. I’m not sure why, but I thought she was quicker on her feet than she has proven to be in the debates. Her delivery comes off as contrived, her campaign as way over-produced, and her convictions seem, well, non-existent. The first glimpse of that came in the days immediately following her supposedly strong attack on front-runner Joe Biden in the inaugural debate:

This has pander-queen written all over it. It’s shallow, it’s condescending and disrespectful to voters, and it’s signaling not only a willingness to say or do anything to get elected, but also a lack of core, foundational beliefs. I’ve got to be honest – I totally thought she would be better at this than she is. |
