Kamala Harris is a living embodiment of the Peter Principle, where people keep getting promoted until they reach jobs for which they are clearly unqualified. More and more Americans think that describes our current vice president.
Harris is deeply unpopular with independents, who are essential for electoral success (fewer than one in three voters view her favorably), and she is losing popularity among Democratic Party leaders. They see her ineptitude, listen to her word salads, and watch the polls with dismay. The latest evidence of Harris’ fading position is a sharply critical article in the New York Times, of all places, filled with anonymous disapproval from senior Democrats

Also an embodiment of another failure, name of the syndrome is unknown. In this, incompetents hire the truly incompetents, and are unable to groom them to even do the jobs they are hired to do.

One of our biggest problems we face as a nation is our media. Very few of them fully embrace the truth. This article doesn't even come close to how bad things have become under the present administration. And to think K.H. could become President is quite frightening to say the least.

With apologies to Rodgers and Hammerstein:
How do you solve a problem like Kamala?
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
How do you find a word that means Kamala?
A flibbertijibbet! A will-o'-the wisp! A clown!
Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her
Many a thing she ought to understand
But how do you make her stay
And listen to all you say
How do you keep a wave upon the sand
Oh, how do you solve a problem like Kamala?
How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?

Kamala was past her level of competence once she left Willie Brown's office for the day....and probably before she was admitted to law school.

Second sentence of first para should read: More and more Americans think that describes our current president and vice president.
Neither Biden nor the Hyena are qualified for their current positions, just as neither of them was qualified to be a US Senator. Unfortunately, when voters put Party before common sense and ballot stuffers put Dems before integrity, these two pathetic people are what we get.

Ms. Word Salad Annie hasn't even measured up to the Peter Principle. I can't believe Harris is/was an attorney at all just like fraud Joe Biden I don't think the vegetable was ever educated. Both of those fakes would be a problem but look at the useless dummies they surround themselves with you'll understand.

Those who are actually running the show have puppet Biden as a front, Kamala isn't really a problem for them. Bill O'Reilly said Klein quit as chief of staff mainly because he was sidelined and Susan Rice was running things. Obama has his own office in the White House, he lives a few blocks from there, and this is the Obiden administration. Kamala is almost irrelevant.

Bill and Hillary might have some Arkansas connections what might could help.

One of the Supreme gals will "retire" to open up a seat for the laughing hyena to step into for life. Fetterman will cast the deciding vote.

Election results with or without K.Harris will be depressingly the same. Arizona was just a tune-up for another round of vote stealing. The MSM ignores massive fraud and judges give nodding approval. Biden is pushed drooling in a wheelchair onto the inauguration stand, secret service agents with emergency ice cream cones are just off camera, little girls with blond hair kept at a safe distance.

Among the 1/3 that approves of Harris, are they the people interviewed by Jessie Waters who don't know the VP's name?

For No. 5, Kamala reached her level of competence in Willie Brown's bed. And No. 10, you’ve proposed the best solution. That works every time it's tried.

It seems unlikely that this is a problem that will last until the nomination. Biden needs to find a prestigious offramp for Harris, say the Supreme Court if a seat opens, or ambassador to the United Nations if it does not. That would free him to appoint a replacement, probably Gavin Newsom.

The Peter Principle works specifically like this.
1. Promotion is based on performance and competence.
2. Sooner or later somebody will be promoted beyond their level of competence. Maybe well beyond.
3 They after all those promotions, will be the ones promoting other incompetents.

She has never been qualified for any job with the possible exception of the one she did for Willie Brown.

Of course they can solve their Kamala Harris Problem.
Same way they solved their Seth Rich Problem, their Ron Brown Problem, their JFK Problem, etc.
And with the proper spin, not only will they solve their problem but place the blame on the Republicans.

Let's see...her dismal rout in the last presidential primaries should have been their first clue.
The good news for conservatives...her selection as VP is an indication of how deep (or not) is the democrat bench.
I mean, who else you gonna pick? AOC? Pocahontas? Sheila Jackson Lee?

Given the results of the last election, I have changed my mind on the "Kamala" problem. I see no reason to make any changes. Mainly due to ballot harvesting, the voters seem to like the status quo, so the DNC has nothing to worry about.
