Michael Smith

I have a friend who is a political consultant in New York City, I can’t reveal her identity because while she primarily works for Republican candidates, her firm works for people on both sides of the aisle. She knows a lot of high powered movers and shakers in NYC politics and although she is not directly involved in Democrat national politics, she says the big state Dem parties coordinate very closely with the national party, so she talks to a lot of the same people.

The tidal wave of propaganda we face from Democrats has a few specific goals - to make it seem that Kamala Harris is a high performer, she is loved by all, and is unbeatable.

Harris is none of those things - and the Dem party intelligentsia knows it.

My friend told me last night that she is universally loathed within the power circles. She says in private, they think Harris is like a loaded gun in Alec Baldwin’s hand, she could go off and shoot the campaign at any moment. Privately they voice Harris is in the final stages of a bad bout of Dunning-Kruger and they say the greatest danger is that Harris truly thinks they built the public image from her when they are building her from the public image they created.

On a side note, she says they thought they could overcome Biden's bad performance if needed - but the real concern about Biden is that he has terminal Dunning-Kruger. He was shown the bad polling and even after the debate, denied he had a problem. He blamed Trump for his bad debate performance. He has such an inflated view of himself that there was no way to manage him. My friend thinks they promised him a deal to shield him from prosecution for connections with Hunter's activities and a way to get Hunter off the hook. They are mad at him that he made it more difficult and more public to get rid of him than it should have been.

My friend told me the only reason Harris was "picked" was that powerful black leaders told the Party leadership they would launch the nukes and go mutually assured destruction if there was a floor fight at the convention or Biden stayed in. She said Obama was behind the Biden Basement strategy and was given the task to "manage" Harris through her obvious deficiencies.

I was joking when I wrote that Harris couldn't talk policy because the Dem powerbrokers had not told her what she believed yet, but my friend confirmed it. They couldn't wait until after the convention to bring her out because the propaganda surge wouldn't have time to work. Apparently she has been specifically ordered NOT to talk about any specifics until after the structured messaging comes out during the convention - they are afraid she will go off script and blow the whole thing up. They clearly do not want her thinking for herself.

No real surprise. Harris is a woman who served as VP for four years and in that time, has taken the do-nothing nature of the office of Vice President to new lows of nothingness, this is a woman who was picked for VP due to the DEI boxes she checked, and before Biden's collapse at the June debate, was being rumored to be targeted for replacement on the ticket. A short year ago, after having over a ninety percent turnover in staff in just two years, it was reported some in the Biden administration were scheming to get her replaced.

It is simply not believable or sustainable. The person the media machine has created does not exist.

Some pundits think she will become unbeatable after the "joy" is released during the Democrat convention next week, but I don't see it. The hype machine power knob has been turned to eleven for six weeks now, and I believe she has hit her ceiling. They are already stretching credulity for some of the ass-covering they are doing for her. This is the top for her and her primary run proves her floor is actually in the basement.

I think she will follow her pattern from 2020 and the more she is exposed to the general public, rather than the public being fed AI images of adoring crowds, the less people will like her.

Then the question becomes if voters hate Trump more than they hate the past four years under Biden.

I predict the Harris-Walz protective media bubble will collapse.

But will it collapse in time?

That, I do not know.

Even "New Coke" lasted seventy-nine days.

Tim adds:

You know there is a theory that Biden was given a wrong dose of meds before the debate to make him look bad and justify pushing him out. If so that means the power brokers in the Democratic Party (and their media allies) timed this thing to make sure Harris was peaking rather than her being old news. No doubt they realized the more time she had to campaign the worse it would be. They couldn't do it at the convention for the reasons you cite Michael.

The big question is will they be able to keep the "sugar high" going long enough to win. And will they be able to contain themselves, be able to not pull another obvious dirty trick on Trump before the election (and garner sympathy for him.) The Judge in his case wants to sentence him before the election; that could well backfire on them.

Watch for some really nasty October surprise before long.

Harris will have to be like Captain Peter Peachfuzz from Rocky and Bullwinkle; his crew gave him a mockup of the steering wheel for his ship so he thought he was piloting it but in reality they were doing it for him.

This is a race against time. The question is will either Harris and Walz or Trump make some terrible blunder? And how stupid is the voting public?
