No narrator, no soundbytes. Just 15-second helpings of discomfort and anxiety, courtesy of Kamala Harris. I've written that the best way to beat Harris is to play her words for voters. I still believe that, and doing so -- often -- will be essential to defeating her. So imagine my surprise when the best ads I've seen of the re-made presidential race are short, words-free digital spots produced by a pro-Trump PAC. They all feature the same format, and span major issues on which Harris is glaringly vulnerable, particularly on the economy. With price hikes feeling like a painful and unaffordable new normal, and with recession fears rising considerably, the Harris-Biden economic record is deeply exploitable as a political issue.
Maybe I'm overestimating the power of these simple presentations, but if I'm not, it might be smart to get these up on air, too:
Make America Great Again, one of the Trump SuperPACs, is running a new series of 15 second digital ads on Google with no voiceover and text on screen.

The footage and text on screen focuses on economy, immigration, and crime.
Every ad ends with: “Courtesy of Kamala Harris.”… pic.twitter.com/saJlgW9xu7
More, please. And more of these facts and realities in front of voters' eyes and ears:
She wants to decriminalize illegal border crossings, turning these assertions into law. https://t.co/ttIcNS0obm

Meanwhile, this is a pretty good riff from JD Vance, responding to the "weird" talking point that Democrats stampeded to last week. Kamala Harris and the Left want to to talk about weirdness? Sure, let's have that conversation, Vance says:
Let's have a national conversation about weird, Kamala. pic.twitter.com/Ril52yfAv0

Speaking of Vance, with Democrats and 'journalists' accusing Trump of "pulling out" of the September debate he agreed to, this might help reject that ludicrously dishonest drawing:

Is Kamala Harris no longer going to debate JD Vance?! Is she PULLING OUT of her AGREEMENT to do so? Wow, very cowardly, she must be terrified of him.

OR — hear me out — DID SOMETHING CHANGE RENDERING PREVIOUS DEBATE-RELATED AGREEMENTS NO LONGER APPLICABLE??
But she's not running for Vice President anymore, Democrats will object. Exactly. And Joe Biden is no longer running for president. Trump agreed to two debates with Joe Biden. Uprooting Biden after his historic meltdown in the first of those agreed-upon debates means that related negotiations are automatically reopened because the candidate Trump entered into the previous pact with is no longer a candidate. He's now assented to a new September debate on Fox News. Kamala hasn't agreed (in fact, she hasn't said much of anything at all, beyond what has been written for her and loaded into a teleprompter). Is she scared to try to explain abandoning all of her real positions under questioning from journalists who aren't active cheerleaders for her? I'll leave you with Harris' all-but-certain running mate leveling an...interesting line of attack against Vance, given who his party's nominee is:
extremely striking, in that these words perfectly describe the candidate at the top of the ticket he’s likely joining https://t.co/LcHlU8rmjr

Here is Kamala Harris, who was born in California to Jamaican and Indian college professors, talking to drag queens in Los Angeles a week ago vs. black people in Atlanta tonight.
