Democratic Strategists Acknowledge Grim Reality: Kamala Harris May 'Do More Harm Than Good'

It's no secret that Vice President Kamala Harris has been doing a terrible job. And it's not just us saying so. The revelations have come over the past few months that working for her amounts to "an abusive environment." Top travel aides announced they were leaving right around the time Harris went to El Paso for her border trip. After reports of disastrous poll results, The Hill and The New York Post spoke to Democratic strategists, and they weren't playing around.

A Morning Consult-POLITICO poll from last week revealed that the vice president did not have good favorability ratings, with 45 percent of respondents regarding her favorably, compared to the 47 percent who do so unfavorably. She fared particularly poorly among women, with 43 percent viewing her favorably compared to the 47 percent who do so unfavorably.

According to an Economist/YouGov poll conducted July 24-July 27 with 1,500 U.S. adults, 48 percent of respondents have an unfavorable view of the vice president, which includes the 40 percent plurality of those who have a "very unfavorable" view. Just 43 percent have a favorable view.

I posted quite some time ago that I don’t think her ego can handle this “Vice President” stuff. I’m guessing she thought it was going to be mainly posh ceremonial occasions and lush cocktail parties, not playing second-fiddle to a befuddled old dementia patient.

She might just up and quit. What would be the downside for her? She rockets to a much higher level of worldwide fame, with every liberal woman hailing her for her “refusal to live as a slave to the patriarchy,” a ridiculously-generous pension for life, a record-breaking book contract, an equally record-breaking deal for her own afternoon talk show, Michelle Obama-style adoration with her face on the cover of all the women’s magazines.

There are WAY better things these days than being Vice President, a position that Vice President John Nance Garner once said was “not worth a bucket of warm spit.”

Spiro Agnew was supposed to be the “perfect insurance” for Richard Nixon - until he was approached in the dark of night, and flatly told to leave. After his resignation, the way was clear for potential removal of Richard Nixon from office. But first, take out Agnew, who apparently has some financial deals that were not entirely on the up-and-up from his time as governor of Maryland, and these came back to haunt him in Nixon’s second term.

Something similar could be done by the power Democrats against “Que mala” Harris. Lord knows, there are enough skeletons in HER closet so that any one of them could be pulled out and force a resignation “for the good of the country”. THEN, as happened with the Nixon deal, a Vice President could be picked out and confirmed by the Congress, as Gerald Ford was.

There is precedent for the Democrats to follow, if they have enough intestinal and testicular fortitude to carry it off. Better it should be done quickly, that the bleeding be less and the wounds can be bound up.

But then, Democrats are not noted for wise statesmanship in the face of adversity. They collapse like a cheap umbrella in the wind.

Honestly, if the Democrats run Kamala in 2024, she’ll get creamed. Watching her in the primaries, man, she’s a moron

She didn’t get a single democrat vote in the primary. Even they detest her. They just can’t say so openly. The politburo forced her onto the ticket. Everybody knows it.

Why? Can you explain a single difference between those two America and constitution-hating authorization corrupt communists?

"She’s no lock for 2024, even if she is the incumbent then. I can see a real primary shootout, because Kamalamadingdong didn’t even last until the voting started in 2020 primaries."

Exactly why Fast Terry is running for Va Gooobernor.

Richard Fowler, that straight-talking dude, announced on Fox last night that Ms Harris’ criticism is - wait for it - because she is a woman.

Who else have the got, though? Most of the earlier contenders are either going to be too old or else they didn’t do any better than she did. A straight White guy isn’t going to beat her. I guess the hope is that she’ll either learn something in the next few years or else get taken down by a scandal.

She is not even eligible to be VP.

Born to a Jamaican father and an Indian mother in CA with THREE nationalities.

Three nationality Harris is NOT naturally an American.

“I'd rather have her than stacey abrams’’.

That's like a choice between Adolf Hitler and Heinrich Himmler.

Yep that was my takeaway from 2020. If they could fake elect Joe they can fake elect anyone.
