Kamala Harris without substance – just
like Obama in 2008

A year into Barack Obama’s presidency, Sarah Palin, a former Alaska governor and John McCain’s 2008 running mate, mockingly asked a Tea Party gathering a question: “How’s that hopey, changey stuff working out?”
The roomful of conservatives howled with laughter because by then, Obama’s dreamy campaign motto of “Hope and Change” had been replaced by hard policy lurches to the far left.
The Palin question is a piece of history 2024 voters should keep in mind as they assess Kamala Harris.
The parallels between then and now are striking.
Like Obama, the Democrats’ current nominee has been maddeningly elusive about what she would do as president.

You must vote her in, to know what she stands for. Nancy Pelosi time!

Having no substance, or brains, or any concept of what it takes to lead, Kamala is dependent upon the media to shape her image. They are tasked with turning a laughing Hyena into a president. The big mystery to me is why the media, whose thousands of willing propagandists will suffer right along with the rest of us when America implodes into warfare, is going along with this nonsense. They were educated to some degree, weren't they? Is the sense of belonging to something, no matter how pitiful a failure it is, worth suffering and dying for? Is it worth the humiliation of following something that always results in failure?

In truth, even if Kamala held a press conference and revealed her platform, she would do exactly what Obama did...tell whatever lies necessary to get elected, and then do whatever the heLL she wants, because the complicit press will not report the truth.
Therefore, it is incumbent on DJT to get down and dirty, and shine the light on her lack of accomplishments in the past, and her long list of abject policy failures.

I still cannot figure what are Obama's strengths. Or Kamla's, for that matter.

Re #4 - their skin color is their "strength"i.e., totally immune from any legitimate investigation into them, their families, finances, etc.

YES! I remember having the following question about BO, "What has he done besides being a 'Community Organizer' who got a gazebo built?". That pattern remained throughout his presidency, nothing much accomplished, even though he claimed great success. BO's greatest success is in selling HIMSELF.
So now we have the "Joy" fairy, Kamala. BO's one strength was he could speak well and lie well. Kamala cannot speak beyond a 6th grade level and, while she lies all the time, she is NOT at all convincing. She also seems to think that showing up to speak is sufficient unto itself. She doesn't care that her word salads are nutritionally empty. Of course, coming from California where star power is infused throughout society, she thinks that brainless dialog is acceptable.

Sept. 18, when Trump gets sentenced by NY judge Juan Merchan, is when the (first) nuke goes off. If he throws the book at Trump, which I believe he will, and gives him the full 4 years behind bars what happens then?
What will Republicans do if Kamala backs out of the Sept 10 debate so the screaming headlines will be all about Trump's sentencing?
This is all being scripted on the dem side with everyone playing their timed role.

#7 is correct. This is a powder keg. We basically have anarchy now. I can't imagine what the next level is, but my Spidey sense feels it starts with empty TP aisles.

Very similar with a few notable exceptions. 1) Kamala is not as intelligent, nor as well-spoken as Obama. 2) We’ve already had “The First Black President (Peace be upon him),” so the need to virtue signal has been reduced considerably, especially from those who voted for The Messiah because of the historic value, 3) a substantial portion of Obama voters have seen and experienced the damage from his regime and want nothing more to do with him, and most of all 4) Kamala simply isn’t as likeable as Obama. He could shuck and jive his way into the gullible’s hearts; she has no such ability. With Obama, his adoring base didn’t have to pretend. Not so with Kamala.

What #2 said. I've often wondered how the media can push someone like Commiela. If by some quirk, she gets elected, the media and their families will have to try to survive in a destroyed country the same as the rest of us.

And look what we got with Obama! I suspect he has been the controlling voice for the Biden administration and would be for 8 years of the Harris administration. Haven’t we had enough of Obama in our government?

obama has a male voice. He's not well-spoken, intelligent, etc. He can read a teleprompter. After eight years, he never improved on any skills. Everyone says the same things about him they said about him during his eight stolen years. Zero improvement for Zero. ZERO! Even their skin color is a fake out.

The main connection between Obama and Harris is that they are not real Americans but hyphenated Americans. The founding fathers carefully spelled out in the Constitution that a president must be born here and their parents must be Americans. It's no wonder the two foreigners are pushing communism, wasting trillions of dollars and practicing a strong hatred of White Christians. The causes of our serious problems are obvious, now what are we going to do about it? Obama was a dictator who wasted much of our money and we recovered from that but we will not survive the incompetence of Harris.

WH media hoping to continue their vacation with a Harris admin.
For four years, Biden barely gave them any opportunity to ask a question, and when they got an opportunity to ask a question, they asked him "What's your favorite ice cream?" It will be the same with her.
