(1/9) Biden “had the opportunity to name a competent female running mate, one who would excite his base and reassure undecided voters. He instead chose California Sen. Kamala Harris, the definition of political mediocrity.” https://www.wsj.com/articles/kamala-harriss-first-campaign-11597360619
(2/9) Now the media is praising her effusively after “rightly skewered in 2019 for running one of the most bungled and disorganized presidential campaigns this cycle.”
(3/9) The media criticized her for her “practiced phrases led to a “Saturday Night Live” impersonation that, as SFGate noted, “mocks” the candidate for her “‘viral moments’ desperation”
(4/9) “A New York Times story about how her campaign “unraveled” described one such quest for a memorable catch-phrase, noting that her aides had become “given to gallows humor about just how many slogans and one-liners she has cycled through.”
(5/9) “If commentators are now struggling to define Ms. Harris, it’s because she offers little that is truly defining. In her 3½ Senate years, she’s done little by way of legislation, preferring to showboat at hearings.”
(6/9) “The lack of an animating agenda helps a explain a presidential campaign in which she bounced from left to far-left position, whatever she thought most helpful at the moment.“
(7/9) Harris’ campaign proves she has “the propensity to make mistakes—potentially big ones. The Trump campaign is eager to define her as a Bernie Sanders liberal, and she’s got a track record that helps—having endorsed Medicare for All, the Green New Deal and gun bans.”
(8/9) “Many Americans will also remember her leading role in the character assassination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, matched only in political theater by Cory “Spartacus” Booker. This has the potential to turn off some suburban and independent voters.”
(9/9) “It was preordained the media would gush over any Biden pick, and it is a given the press will continue to provide cover to the ticket. But Democrats do them-selves no favors in pretending Ms. Harris is a super-pol.“
