Kamala!

Kamala Harris is not the Sarah Palin of the Democratic Party. I'm still pondering why SP got to sit in the number two spot next to John McCain. My sense is that the Republicans knew that the Dems were gonna win it and they gave Dear John his last hurrah. Palin, she may have been a test; like when in the trenches the lieutenant tells Kilroy to stick his head up over the edge to see what happens. Kilroy knows; he was there.

So, Kamala Harris. Not a fan. After that stunt interrogation of Brett Kavanaugh during his Supreme Court nomination hearing, in my book, she ain't nuttin' but a grandstanding, pandering opportunistic careerist with a winning smile and boxes checked for being "of color" and being a girl. Should we assume she was born female? Nowadays, I wouldn't be surprised if gender-at-birth wasn't something that political aspirants revealed as part of their resumes.

By now you've heard that Harris has "not been to the border". Someone said that if she and her predecessor Joe go to the US southern border they would have to own it. Instead, she's gone down to Rio to get at the "root causes". Great. Yes, Do that. But what about the bleeding patient on the doorstep? Crickets. Her message to the Central Americans, "don't come". Not, as in, we will turn you away; just don't come cuz' we can't cope with what's there now. 

That's it, isn't it? The current administration isn't trying to keep people from coming from other countries, they're trying to cope. Looks like not very well. But, KH and JB never had their own eyes on the ground to grok the situation first hand. Why is that important? In the marketing of a packaged good product we regularly went on "store checks" to get a first-hand sense [and report] of what the actual situation was for our product in the marketplace. It's a whole level different than sitting in an air-conditioned office dreaming up things to do to sell your brand.

Here's Kamala after it looks like she thinks she nailed it by repeating "We've been to the border" several times to the NBC softball reporter. He managed to show a little ball with his pointed question, but shrunk them back real fast, like a good lad lacky of the Left.

Don't you love that response? I'm thinking she's so cynical about the gullibility of her voter base that tossing just about anything out there will do the trick. Her end game retort we might expect to be ... "Hey, chill. It's not Trump after all."

If the video clip doesn't do it for you, here's a scenario with a similar structure:

And, by the way, she interrupted him, and he wasn't finished. Well, he is finished. But he also isn't. You know what I mean. You may have to explain that yourself to the kids.

But Kamala is a thoroughly modern woman. She's not shy about telling her partner when "she's not finished". 

That's what she said ...

In case you're needing perspective on the matter ...
