Presidential race closing argument: Kamala Harris trying to figure out hers
Thinking she would be crowned as President since she was the nominee of the Democrat Party, Kamala Harris themed her campaign “Joy.” The newbie surged in the polls. Dems, knowing how bad she was, put her in their Candidate Protection Program. Then they let their media re-introduce the most unpopular vice president as some sort of brilliant leader.
Kamala laughed and cackled at inane things, awkwardly cultivating her “joy” theme. People started paying attention. They listened to her and realized they had no idea what she was saying or even what she was laughing about.
When she was forced to give interviews, they did not go well. She was angry about interviews because she was not told there would be questions.
In the ensuing 90 days, Trump seems to have co-opted her “joy.” He is dancing at his rallies, smiling and confident. His comics are doing actual comedy. Meanwhile, Kamala has become increasingly angry. Trump stole her joy. Dems will revert to type; I fully expect an up-and-coming, Soros-funded, Democrat DA to indict Trump on grand theft of joy (which, in most Democrat-run cities, carries a longer sentence than murder).
A joy theft indictment of Trump would likely lead to 30 heavily armed FBI agents, filmed by CNN, arresting him in a pre-dawn raid. But we all know he would never serve time for a killjoy arrest; he would plead out to a lesser charge of “buzz kill.”
Kamala’s closing arguments seems to be that Trump has dementia and, oh by the way, he is Hitler reincarnated. She sends her minions out with that closing message: Trump is a Nazi and a fascist. When asked why Trump wasn’t a fascist dictator in his first four years, well that is because he has dementia and forgot to be one.
Trump is so bad at being a fascist that his “Nazi” rally in Madison Square Garden had Jews, Hispanics, women, et al. in attendance. Trump had the most diverse Nazi rally in history.
Kamala 1.0 did not work, nor did the “joyous” Kamala 2.0. Now we have the angry, name-calling Kamala 3.0. She’s been reintroduced more times than the McRib. And like the McRib, Kamala only works for just so long.
Trump is winning on almost all issues: fentanyl deaths caused by a porous border, crime, immigration, inflation, and the economy. He has RFK Jr. set to “Make America Healthy Again.” He has Tesla head and SpaceX founder Elon Musk lined up to reduce the size and increase the efficiency of government.
Kamala is winning on abortion, mostly by lying about Trump’s view of it. Trump has probably paid for more abortions than anyone and is all about letting states decide the issue. She lied when she said Trump is against IVF, when he is all for it. He calls himself “the Father of IVF,” but to me that sounds more like one of Elon Musk’s kids.
You know Kamala is desperate when she fakes a Southern preacher’s voice and tells a congregation that voting for her is God’s will. The church in question was not prepared for her rare attendance; they ran out of wine after Kamala’s third time up to take communion.
