Off-script Kamala blows it in the swing states

Original Article

After five weeks of slobbering media coverage akin to the rhetorical version of a hot stone massage, Kamala Harris finally left the bubble that has carried her to record fundraising and competitive poll numbers with Donald Trump in key swing states. And then the bubble burst. The candidacy of the past 40 days as the Democratic nominee has been almost out of an Artificial Intelligence creation. Harris was not allowed to speak to the press, nor was her running mate, Tim Walz. Everything was packaged, scripted and homogenized. When the candidates did speak, they were guided by their new god: a teleprompter. But now they had to take questions from CNN’s Dana Bash.

Comments:

I can't stand her voice so I didn't watch any of the "interview." This seems like a good analysis of it.

OP, what IS it about that voice??? (Is it because she sounds like she’s speaking through her nose?) It is absolutely grating. I hope to be able to watch the beatdown, I mean, debate.

If Trump can keep the same mannerisms he did when debating Biden and keep the personal stuff under wraps, well, this ain't gonna be a fair fight on Sept 10, even with a 3 or 4 to 1 disadvantage.

It's a mystery, must be racism. Who would have thought that Pennsylvania would not like to have their drilling industry hobbled and Michigan would not be all-in for EVs made in Mexico and a ban on ICE cars? Isn't having the first almost-black woman and lowest-IQ president in history worth a few sacrifices?

How bad was an interview that was scripted, questions known in advance? 43 minutes had to be severely edited down to 17 .. The whole set was weird- Kamunist was in a kid size chair- why was BobbleHead TamponTim there? Dana asked some decent questions, but no follow up In the end, it only matters who counts the votes-

Remember when we thought obama was dumb? Now we have a whole new obamala. Oh how things change not so much. He's so stupid, he still thinks people are swooning over his rope-a-dope hope and change rebranded. He is the reason for this rapid destruction of America. We reject his declaration that we are no longer a Christian nation. We reject the views of his communist father, him, and his lousy pick ka-ma-la.

FTA: Because, as we just witnessed, Kamala Harris without a script becomes a human Chernobyl. I see what the author did there! It wasn't worth my time to watch, and I didn't want to endanger my brain cells.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s VP pick, Nicole Shanahan, has launched a direct assault on the epidemic plaguing the political landscape: Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). The ad opens with a stark question: “Are you or your loved ones suffering from illnesses such as TDS?” It paints a vivid picture of individuals who have become so consumed by their hatred for Trump that they are willing to overlook critical issues facing the country, including skyrocketing inflation, rampant illegal immigration, and corporate corruption. The message is clear: this obsession with Trump has turned rational discourse into an echo chamber of anger and denial. The ad suggests that many Americans are more focused on vilifying Trump

University of Michigan campus club fair

The University of Michigan’s club fair quickly descended into chaos Wednesday afternoon when police shut down an anti-Israel protest after a day of antics from student activists. The protesters, there to demand that the school divest from all companies that support Israel, identified themselves as members of the TAHRIR Coalition, whose name is an acronym for “Transparency, Accountability, Humanity, Reparations, Investment, and Resistance.” The school’s club fair was disrupted almost immediately by a sit-in of a few dozen anti-Israel demonstrators chanting “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” — a slogan that implies the state of Israel must be eliminated.

A newly leaked email from inside ABC News has revealed the rules for the upcoming September 10th presidential debate while calling into question recent framing from the Harris campaign. On Monday, one of Harris' handlers took to social media to claim that Donald Trump was threatening to pull out of the debate because he was "afraid" to have unmuted mics. That followed a Politico report that claimed both campaigns had hit an impasse over the rules. To anyone who had been following this saga, what was happening was clear. Early on, the Harris campaign had repeatedly accused Trump of cowardice and "backing out" of the debate

President Joe Biden left a week long California vacation Monday and headed back to the East Coast. His destination wasn't Washington D.C. or the White House. Instead, he's back in Delaware for an additional two weeks at the beach. His schedule remains blank after receiving the "president's daily brief." [Tweet] The call time for reporters in Rehoboth, where Biden is staying in his beach house, was pushed to 11 am Tuesday morning. Meanwhile, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre is also missing in action and has no planned briefings on the schedule.

A violent Venezuelan prison gang known as Tren de Aragua has spilled into Aurora, Colorado, despite the fact that the city wanted “no part” in welcoming so-called “asylum seekers” as a result of President Joe Biden’s open border policies. According to a report from the New York Post, Aurora has a population of 390,000 residents. Now, it’s become the base of operations for the gang, which has seized apartment complexes and instigated a crime wave. In February, the Aurora City Council reportedly passed a resolution 7-3 stating that it will not provide resources for illegal immigrants brought into the town from neighboring cities, notably, Denver.

One of the great things about sports is that you can find quirky stories if you pay attention. And a fascinating story emerged on Monday in a baseball game between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Boston Red Sox. The Blue Jays and the Red Sox were playing on June 26 when a shower came up, which led the umpires to call the game. At the time, Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen was at bat, which meant that, according to baseball rules, he would resume his at-bat when the two teams rescheduled the game. Both teams were able to find the time to schedule the rest of the game on Monday,

Allies of President Joe Biden didn’t want Kamala Harris as vice president in 2020. Democrat donors, party insiders, and the media were calling for her removal from the ticket when Biden’s 2024 campaign began. Just last month a prominent progressive lawmaker admitted that “a lot of” Harris’s Democrat colleagues were openly calling for her removal. It was so bad that the outcry for Kamala to be removed from the campaign was far more prevalent than those demanding the removal of Biden himself, despite the fact that he had clear cognitive and motor issues. Think about that for a minute – The President of the United States was a clear and present danger

Most of us on the outside looking in last week knew the Democrat National Convention (DNC) would be nothing more than a giant choreographed circus. Nothing left to chance, nothing left unscripted. Many people, if they are not attending a political convention as delegates, participate as volunteers. It is a great way to see the process up close and personal: the good, the bad, and the ugly. But one young Democrat volunteer did not come away from her convention experience feeling fired up, energized, or ready to go out and campaign for the candidate of her choice. Instead, she feels the exact opposite.

Ever since he was selected by the Anointed One, Kamala Harris, to be her running mate in the 2024 presidential election, Tim Walz has come in for his share of heat — and he's pretty much had all of it coming. But, you know, it has to sting just a little more when that heat is coming from Minnesotans. The Minnesota State Fair is going on this week, and among all the rides and vendors is the "Never Walz" booth, run by Action 4 Liberty MN, and they are giving the governor a piece of their minds — and drawing crowds while doing it.

Kamala Harris has some big problems to surmount in convincing people to vote for her. She's too afraid, apparently, to enunciate her policies or even to do an interview or a press conference. She's so desperate she's even putting out an ad that is full of former President Donald Trump's wall that she was against. How does she think that any Americans will fall for that? That's an incredible admission of how wrong the Biden-Harris team has been and an acknowledgment that Trump was right. The biggest problem that Harris has in the election is trying to explain to the American people why they should vote for her now

On Thursday, former President Donald Trump generated a firestorm of controversy in pro-life political circles.[Snip]In response, Trump stated, “I think the six-week is too short. There has to be more time.” Many interpreted his comments to mean he would vote in favor of Amendment 4.[Snip]Lately, many pro-lifers have been frustrated with Trump because he has offered them precious little in terms of commitments on abortion policy.[Snip]By simply raising concerns about the full implications of Amendment 4, Trump could win back the support of some skeptical pro-life voters. More importantly, he would be performing a valuable service for pro-lifers in Florida and across the country.

Maybe President Joe Biden was never a serious member of the Washington, DC, establishment — like the Clintons, the Bushes, or the Obamas — or, maybe, the establishment just had no more use for him. Either way, the knives seem to be out for the Biden family after Joe Biden stepped aside from the 2024 presidential election. In three leaks in the last month, members of the permanent political class in Washington disclosed damaging information about the Biden family. One: Hunter Biden accepted $3,101,258 from Romanian partner Gabriel Popoviciu to “influence U.S. government agencies” when Joe Biden served as vice president, Special Counsel David Weiss said in a court filing.
New Pennsylvania Poll Shows Just How Stupid

Is Kamala Harris having second thoughts about picking Tim Walz as her running mate? If she isn't, she probably should be. A new poll out of Pennsylvania is shedding some light on just how much of an own-goal that was. Before getting there, though, the topline is really good news for Donald Trump, showing him tied in the head-to-head and leading in the five-way matchup (which is more relevant). It appears Harris' momentum has been completely halted, with no perceivable bounce from the DNC. Bob Casey, the Democrat senator up for re-election in Pennsylvania, only being up two points is also a huge result for Republicans.

Biden described Goldberg-Polin’s death as “tragic” and “reprehensible.” “Earlier today, in a tunnel under the city of Rafah, Israeli forces recovered six bodies of hostages held by Hamas,” Biden said in a statement. “We have now confirmed that one of the hostages killed by these vicious Hamas terrorists was an American citizen

It doesn't take an expert to know that Kamala Harris was out of her element during the softball interview with CNN. She's been avoiding interviews and press conferences for weeks, and despite finally agreeing to an interview with a friendly network conducted by a friendly host, she still needed her male running mate to accompany her. But it should come as no surprise that a body language expert who analyzed Kamala's performance during the interview told Fox News Digital that Harris lacked both confidence and a presidential demeanor. According to Susan Constantine, Harris frequently looked down during the CNN interview, which suggested that she was “not confident in what she’s saying.”

Cole, 57, was executed by lethal injection and pronounced dead at 6:15 p.m. at the Florida State Prison in Raiford, about 40 miles southwest of Jacksonville. It marked Florida's first execution of the year and the 13th in the nation.
