Quite.
Her book, with its pearls-n-blouse soft-focus cover, is also the standard prop. It has an intentionally vague title and an intentionally vague subtitle. It will be referred to by the candidate more often than anyone else does. It will be used as a still shot to preface TV interviews. It will be claimed that her book is a visionary manifesto with all manner of bright new ideas but it’s more of the same ie it’s another more infamous Manifesto. Autographs will be signed upon it.
In reality, the book could be filled with blank pages and it would be treated the same and sell the same and be read by as many people ie none of them.
The book can also be used to shade the truth or push outright lies, relying on human nature to assume that if it’s in print then it’s factual. B Obama and his handlers/ghostwriters relied heavily on this fact and were never challenged on it.
Political stagecraft might be unavoidable in a campaign but the Dem version is so scripted, cheesy, fake and ham-fisted that sane people can’t help but look on in horror at all the clapping sea lions (including media) praising the equivalent of pro wrestling.
Kamala has a laugh like a chain smoking mob boss. Someone needs to tell her to add a touch of refinement.
“...It will be claimed that her book ...”
“Her book”...who actually wrote it?
