who penned an opinion piece titled, “For the Country’s Sake, Vice President Harris Should Step Aside.” Opined Parker, “Her performance as sec-
ond in command has been disappointing, to say the least.” Parker added Harris was a “colossal fail-
ure as border czar” — a job Democrats would later deny she ever had — and said Biden’s handlers had kept her safely hidden in the wings “lest she embarrass her boss with her sometimes inane, rambling remarks and a laugh that erupts from nowhere about noth- ing obvious to others.” Columnists in The Hill, New York maga-
zine’s Intelligencer, and other outlets voiced similar criticisms. Some speculated wheth- er Harris could withstand the onslaught of attacks. Yet just a few months later, after Biden’s
disastrous debate performance, party insid- ers executed a 180-degree turn. What followed was a historic transfor-
mation along the lines of George Orwell’s prophecy in 1984: “The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.” Overnight Harris was hailed as a power-
ful, effective, and inspirational leader. The culmination of her political beatification arrived at the Democratic National Con- vention. In addition to blush-inducing encomia
from Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Bill Clinton, and Biden himself, she received gushing reviews from the press. Most curious of all: the pandemic-like ef- fort to quarantine Harris from the media.
DICK MORRIS
She’s Fundamentally Flawed
H
olding to the long-standing financial principle that past performance
is the best indicator of future success, Newsmax columnist Dick Morris is convinced that the Kamala boom will inevitably lead to a Kamala bust.
“It’s based on the novelty of having a
Democratic presidential candidate who can walk and talk,” Morris says, “and I think that’s what has powered Kamala’s candidacy, and still is.” Morris calls the Harris candidacy
Harris ‘Hostage’ Countdown Even after she stepped up to the podium to receive her party’s nomination, her handlers refused all requests for sit-down interviews for weeks on end — even from friendly media that would no doubt share their topics of questioning beforehand. When the mainstream media pressed
the Harris campaign for policy details, they were told the campaign couldn’t be ex- pected to formulate its policy plans in such short order. Most concerning: the growing evidence
the public was oblivious to who Harris was and the voting record that had led GovTrack in 2019 to rank her as the upper chamber’s most liberal senator — yes, even to the left of self-proclaimed democratic so- cialist Sen. Bernie Sanders. Among the findings of a McLaughlin
& Associates survey commissioned by the Media Research Center: 86% were unaware she was open to giv- ing death-row inmates the right to vote.
“fundamentally flawed” because, he says, “if voters understood what she believes they would run screaming — and they are increasingly learning that.” Eventually, Morris says, the vice
president’s defects will surface. “I think there’s going to be a broad
national consensus that Kamala Harris is ill-equipped to be president,” Morris predicts, “and that Trump was a very successful president. And that we want to reelect him and build on that record.”
The less Harris said, and the more she declined to state her own proposed policies, the stronger she seemed to grow.
