Dear Kamala, Please Stick Around

 The American Spectator

This is Thanksgiving week. Let’s give thanks for Kamala and wish her a bright future as the leader of the Democrat Party for as long as they can stand her and then some.

 "On Monday, the internet was full of discussion about Kamala Harris. And yes, you are permitted to wonder why.

"Let’s face it, nobody in America gives a damn about her, and nobody should. She’s an utterly forgettable hack politician, a blithering incompetent who demonstrated beyond doubt that she can’t give honest or thoughtful answers even in a friendly interview. Worse, she showed off a complete lack of ethics, throwing out bile-filled charges that Donald Trump was a fascist dictator in the making as a means of, at least, scaring Democrat voters to the polls or, more accurately, attempting to gin up one of her party’s crazies to assassinate him.

"It was no surprise that Harris, who had slept her way to the middle and DEI’d her way to the top, turned into a Hollywood-“girlboss”-remake version of Icarus on election night as her party burned and crashed, not just at the top of the ticket, but in Senate and House races as well. The Democrats are now mired in the political wilderness for at least the next two years and — even worse for them — Trump The Fascist Dictator now has a near 60 percent approval rating for the appointments and direction his transition team has embarked on.

"And that direction is as close to a 180-degree turn from what Kamala Harris had on offer as it’s possible to have. In fact, the secret to Trump’s spike in popularity is his pledge to sic Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy on government waste, to have Pete Hegseth restructure the Department of Defense, to have Tom Homan round up and deport as many illegals as possible (a CBS poll found 73 percent agreement that it’s a priority and 57 percent agree with deporting all of the illegals), and have Robert F. Kennedy Jr. make America healthy again by completely overhauling the public health bureaucracy, among other giant changes. Prior to Trump’s victory earlier this month, it wasn’t considered possible to move this far.

"The Overton Window definitely shifted on Nov. 5. The world changed. And Kamala Harris, and a political party that would hand her its nomination for president without any demonstration of political viability on her part, no longer fit within that window.

"Democrats won’t escape the wilderness until they come up with a new brand and a new definition. Eventually, they will, as all parties do upon losing. But sometimes, it takes a while." ...
