Can Kamala Do What She Must Do?

So, Mr. Trump says there will be no third debate.  I think that is extremely wise.  There is no sense in allowing Kamala to again repeatedly lie to 70 million people or some Democratic Party network lackeys the chance to bash him (she surely won’t debate on Fox).  Let her get out among the people, do rallies that she buses people to, and see how many interviews she can avoid.  Don’t give her another audience on stage.

I don’t think either candidate hit a home run in the recent debate, but neither got knocked out of the box.  Yes, the moderators were terrible (as someone put it, “it was not a debate, but a campaign contribution” by ABC).  But, each candidate got to talk a lot.  I think Kamala avoided making a complete fool of herself, but it will take some time to determine if the debate had any effect.  It wasn’t the killing blow Trump wanted, but that was probably expecting too much.

Harris clearly showed herself to be a typical Democrat with absolutely no moral compass or individual conscience whatsoever.  She lied—knowingly, deliberately, constantly—about almost everything she said.  And she knew that she was lying.  But this is the Democratic Party today.  Anything goes; no lie is too egregious to tell or repeat if it leads to the ultimate goal of gaining power.  That’s all they live for.  They are evil people.  

She lied constantly.  And she absolutely had to do it.  

She bobbed and weaved a lot in the debate, and even CNN noticed, calling her out for dodging important questions.  The first question about being better off was significant.  She told us she was from a middle-class family (who cares, even if it’s true?), and then how she will give a $6,000 child tax credit and a $50,000 tax deduction for small business start-ups. That’s nice.  But what if I don’t have any kids?  And what if I don’t plan to start a business?  How will that help me come home from Thailand?  And what has any of that got to do with whether people are better off now than they were four years ago?  She obviously felt more comfortable attacking (and lying about) Trump than she did in defending the Biden/Harris record and what she intends to do for all Americans, not just her robots.

But, again, it’s what she had to do.  Now, she will have to take her show on the road—good decision, Mr. Trump, not to debate again.  

The question above (about being better off now than four years ago) is Kamala’s biggest problem.  Most people in America are not better off now than they were during Donald Trump’s administration. Countless people realize that much of that is the fault of the Biden/Harris administration.  Even if it wasn’t their fault (and much of it is), these things still happened during their administration, and the buck stops on their desks.  They will get the blame.  Kamala talked about “a shortage of homes” and “the cost of housing [being] too expensive.”  Yes, and as Trump asked, why is she just now talking about it?  And what does she plan to do to make homes affordable again?  (Silence)  I certainly don’t believe the Washington administration can solve every problem (they usually make things far worse), but Biden/Harris did create huge inflation during the last four years.  That’s got to stop.  The price of housing is excessive.  Many things that have been going on in the past four years must change because people are worse off than before.  Kamala knows that.

And here is what Harris faces:  she must convince the American people that the Biden/Harris administration shouldn’t be blamed for these disasters and that she is qualified to fix them.  She says she will change things and make them better.  Do you believe her?

But, in reality, Kamala has absolutely no desire to change the direction the Democrats are taking the country.  She has no intention of changing anything.  She wants to continue to grow the federal government.  She wants to, and will, ceaselessly bring in swarms of illegal immigration into the country.  That will happen until the people finally revolt.  The Democrats will do it because they don’t care what you want or think.  She wants war in Ukraine, not peace.  She doesn’t want to cut taxes and let the American people keep more of their own money.  She believes in DEI, and she hates the military.  She wants chaos on the streets, not law and order (isn’t that what her running mate allowed to happen in Minnesota in 2020?).  Harris doesn’t want to change a thing except make them more extreme.  

If Kamala Harris is elected President in November, the United States will get Joe Biden, Part Two.  The Left and the Right both know it (the Left is demanding it), and both sides know she must lie now to try to convince low-information voters that she isn’t Biden 2 and will improve the country.  It’s up to Trump and Republicans to not let her get away with that and effectively tie her to the last 3.5 years.  

Kamala Harris, if elected President, isn’t going to be moderate; she will be, as Joe Biden was (is), a Deep State today. But she must convince enough American people that she isn’t Joe Biden.  She has to sell her lies and flip-flops.  If she can, she’ll be the next president, and God will help the country.
