Incredibly, Kamala Harris's Staff <i>Again</i> Puts Out the Word That Biden is Failing to Position Her for Success

Incredibly, Kamala Harris's Staff Again Puts Out the Word That Biden is Failing to Position Her for Success

All though the Harris-Biden co-presidency, I have noted just some of the many, many times Kamala sent her staffers out to explain away her ineffectualness and unpopularity with the claim that Biden and his staffers are "failing to position Kamala for success."

They've said this a dozen times. No one seeking the White House should have a history of repeatedly whining that White Men Aren't Doing the Candidate's Work for Her.

If you thought that now that she's the by-golly real presidential candidate, she'd stop this endless plea for white men to come save her, man up, and stand on her own feet instead of laying on her back waiting for Pillow Promotions, you were wrong.

She is now putting out the word that Biden is failing to properly "coordinate his appearances and message to do what's best for Kamala," or words to that close effect

It's just a slightly-reworded version of her endless whine that other people have to achieve "Kamala's Achievements" for her.

The relationship between Kamala Harris' team and Joe Biden's White House has been increasingly fraught in the final weeks before Election Day, 10 people familiar with the situation tell Axios.
Why it matters: Biden's team wants Harris to win the election, but many senior Biden aides remain wounded by the president being pushed out of his re-election bid and are still adjusting to being in a supporting role on the campaign trail.
"They're too much in their feelings," one close Harris ally said of the president's team -- a sentiment shared even by some White House aides.
Driving the news: Some on the Harris team say that top White House aides aren't sufficiently coordinating Biden's messaging and schedule to align with what's best for the vice president's campaign.
Biden gave an impromptu press conference in the White House briefing room Friday just as Harris was about to do an event in Michigan, ensuring that her event would get less TV coverage than it otherwise would have.
Earlier in the week, Harris criticized Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) for not taking her call about the recent hurricanes, only for Biden to praise DeSantis soon after for being "gracious" and "cooperative." (A person familiar with the situation told Axios that Biden hadn't been briefed on Harris' comments.)
Biden has been eager to boast about a robust jobs report, helping to end the strike by the longshoremen's union and other perceived victories recently. Harris has been trying to focus on voters' pocketbook concerns, including inflation.
One person involved with Harris' campaign told Axios: "The White House is lacking someone in the room thinking first and foremost about how things would affect the campaign."
...

A White House spokesperson added that Harris' leadership team has been invited to strategic scheduling meetings.
Harris' official office and her campaign declined to comment.

Below, Biden snapped at Kamala Harris (who was in the meeting via a Zoom call) for attempting to push past him and speak first.

Kamala Harris is incompetent, lazy, vapid, and dumb, and Biden is incompetent, stupid like a stone, demented and breaking from reality more every single day, and a bitter, vengeful old prick on top of that.

It's the perfect Dream Team for Current Day America.

As to her completely desperate request for my Medical Statements, she is dying to see my Cholesterol (which is 180!), I have already provided them, many times, including quite recently, and they were flawless. However, I have just seen Kamala’s Report, and it is not good. According to her Doctor’s Report, she suffers from “urticaria,” defined as “a rash of round, red welts on the skin that itch intensely, sometimes with dangerous swelling.” She also has “allergic rhinitis and allergic conjunctivitis,” a very messy and dangerous situation. These are deeply serious conditions that clearly impact her functioning. Maybe that is why she can’t answer even the simplest of questions asked by 60 Minutes, and others. What is this all about? I don’t have these problems.

The Democrat base is hungry for a non-establishment figure. Very hungry, but there's no leftist figure strong enough, rich enough, and independent enough to actually buck the Democrat establishment in any material policy manner or even in terms of personnel.

Mark Cuban could be that...if he weren't an idiot and constantly parroting every Democrat Establishment meme. What difference is there between him and any D politician?

Trump bucked the party on a major issue, and he didn't just lay down. That's what the Democrats actually need for the health of their own party.

91 Anyone who has worked for a sexual or racial DEI supervisor has experienced this: due to the immutable trait, the DEI hire never can be wrong and it has to be the fault of a white man, wreckers that they are. Over time, if not at the outset, the DEI supervisor herself/himself/xherself comes to believe this to be real or at least acts as if they do. Given the constant staff turnover, there is every reason to believe Harris believes her constant fuck ups and idiocy are the fault of others. It is unlikely with the turnover that every staffer originates this claim.

If Harris loses, or to be more precise, Trump is allowed to win, it might spell the end of DEI. That's a rare note of optimism from me.

======
Rome staggered on for awhile with just that sort as emperor with occasional restorations by competent rulers. Byzantium did it even longer with intervals of competence inter-spliced with venal, corrupt, and evil rulers for 1000 years.

Our problem is that the ruling class in the West is just as nasty, stupid, evil, and corrupt as its two putative figureheads of Kamala and Biden are.

That is why, I believe, sooner or later, the common people will demand a despot in order to destroy the ruling classes. Then it gets chancy because once ultimate power is grasped, even if the ruler has benign intentions to the people in general, the accumulated enemies of the despot in the upper classes will always try to restore the old corrupt regime.

Been rereading Will and Ariel Durant's History of Civilization--Reformation this month. Endless cycle of venality, stupidity, evil, in the elites and at times in the masses.

Reuters is reporting Harris is working out a plan to go on Joe Rogan's podcast. Both sides have met but an agreement hasn't been reached yet.

Joe Rogan is a half-wit. Why would Harris waste her time speaking with him?

she's in a very tight race and wants to get as many votes needed to win. Unfortunately, Rogan has a huge amount of listeners.

His "half-wit" listeners are mostly bro types with limited political exposure (other than anti vax morons). They're not "Fox News" cultists, though; a small portion of them can be convinced. I see it as a net positive.

You overestimate the human capacity for delusion and willful ignorance. She could unveil a unified field theory of physics on his show and Rogan and his bros would say she is an intellectual lightweight.

He's an easy interview and will be eating out of her hand 10 minutes into it. I am Rogan's target audience and there are millions of his listeners who are impressionable.

Just like Andrew Cuomo went from being a force in the Dem party, after his defeat--no one is his buddy anymore. See also Killary.

A good friend of mine used to be a journalist long ago. We once had a good talk about how there really is no such thing as "pure news". Even if your reporting is pure 5-Ws, there's always the so-called "editorial function" of which stories get run and which don't.

Part of the art of journalism is telling the story you want to tell with only the raw facts available. It's why there's nothing wrong with an overtly partisan newspaper so long as it's actually news, and you don't outlaw or otherwise hinder the other party's newspaper.

And it's why he despises the slapdash bullshit modern "journalism" full of outright lies and unproveable or irrelevant gossip.

There'll be a new cast of lower-level officials and consultants. But it's Obama's party. He sets policy, he sets the tone, he says who runs the show.

The Democrats' problem is one of their own creation: in 2020, they pushed a candidate who was obviously sinking into dementia; then they waited too long to give him the Leon Klinghoffer treatment and found themselves stuck with Kámala. Despite that, if Trump doesn't win beyond the margin of fraud, she could well be the next president - God help us all.

That much I get, insofar as the pedestrian attraction. Nothing wrong with the sort of muscular, strong, traditional male stuff. It’s sorely needed in today’s world. But there is little to zero intellectual value. It’s not insightful of deep thinking. It’s topical, shallow and predictable.

A corrupt and stupid aristocracy of a lot of mini tyrants is usually worse and often leads to foreign conquest of a nation.

Witness the current 'meritocracy' which provokes nuclear powers like Russia and China, weakens our own military through stupid domestic political considerations, and creates a nightmare of security issues via enemy infiltration and subversion.

If you go into a civil war, you will get a despot/tyrant whether you want one or not to unify a cause and win. If you are lucky, you get a Washington that just wants to go home and live in peace. History records that outcome as rare.

Both Lincoln and Davis shredded the rights of their 'citizens' to 'win'. Washington and the Continental Congress/states were not 'nice' to those supporting the Crown and vice versa, Cromwell or Franco, let alone Lenin, ditto. In times of war, the laws are silent.

If Kamala was not VP and this was not an incumbent administration, she might have been able to pull off an outsider approach as did PDT did in 2016.

But, you cannot argue that you want the same policies as Biden (his second term) when you also argue you are an agent for change. Even someone as politically clever and skillful as Bill Clinton would find that hard to pull off.

Right track, wrong track has about 3/4 of the population that is getting hammered (wrong track) and 1/4 (investor and clerisy class for the rich) that are surfing on the crest of the inflationary moment.

Trump is simply returning back to traditional American politics prior to the Cold War which perverted and ossified US trade policy. After the last of the pragmatist/realists left economics and policymaking by GHWB's term, you get the stupid one world types and New World Order bullshit. Trying to recreate Rome, etc. is always a stupid mistake--the core state withers and becomes impoverished while the periphery suck the best of people and finances out of the core. Then there is the whole blood and treasures spent trying to keep the empire together from rivals.

Better Switzerland than seeking empires.

All true. As I wrote above, Kamala is the archetypal DEI hire: all her mistakes are the fault of white men, all her few and handed to her successes her own. The problem here is she has gone for the top slot and apparently failed. She will be disappeared after a golden parachute is provided, but it is unlikely she will make additional public appearances such as a key speaking position at the 2028 DNC. Leftists always turn on their own when things don't work out. This will be no different.

Its rule by factions. In the bad old days people would know all the factions and how they interacted, but these days it gets murky because our press is entirely captured. But you can think of it as half a dozen major groups contending for a temporary ascendancy then 'pay off' Biden (joe or jill) to sign the pen. So if the Israeli supporters win a round, they get weapons, carriers, and such and if the UN/Terror lover faction wins you get those calls for ceasefires and piers on the coastline.

As bad as Biden is - and he's by far the worst human being ever to occupy the Oval Office - I'd say that Obama is the worst in my lifetime, because of the harm he did for racial relations in America. The second worst political in my lifetime isn't even Carter; it's Gore. What he did in Bush v. Gore did more to erode the integrity of elections in America than anything else. He started us on this road, but never gets any opprobrium for it. He deserves all of the blame, and even more for destroying the electoral process here.

And look at how the press is handling her. She has gotten rougher treatment since her selection than Biden in 6 years. And its not because the press is suddenly honest. Its because the factions are pulling levers in different directions.

He seems genuinely interested in what his guests are saying, and because he's not too bright, he forces guests to explain things in more detail, yet dumbed down for mass consumption.

This could be very difficult for Harris.

No, they did not. As a result, 1988 was a wide open Dem primary including a young and stupid Joe Biden (sidelined by plagiarism), Gary Hart (sidelined by the Monkey Business trip), and eventually Dukakis gets nominated.

Mondale himself had to overcome a strong challenge by Gary Hart in 1984 despite controlling the DNC more or less from 1980 to 1984 as heir apparent to Jimmah. Ferraro had no pull in the party and was a gimmicky First! VP nominee so that Mondale could generate any momentum against the coming landslide by Reagan.

Ferraro promptly got enmeshed by her husband's skanky real estate deals during the general election campaign.

House was run during the 80's by a fading Tip O Neill, an oncoming Jim Wright (the old Mass-TX alignment) and a unscrupulous Tony Coehlo from CA that started turning the taps on with pay for play and West Coast money.

Senate had Ted Kennedy doing his thing, some remaining Dixiecrats, and Byrd trying to keep the party together as the once and future majority leader during the 80's.

In Vance's interview with Raddatz on Sunday, he hedged a bit from saying that the 2020 election was stolen, offering only that it wasn't 100% kosher. He got a ton of pushback from even that point. It makes sense for him to stay at that position before the election.

I predict, however, that after Election Day, at least some Republicans are going to start publicly asserting that Biden didn't actually win that 2020 election. I know that I will be.

They have failed signally to paper over things in foreign policy these last 4 years. In Ukraine there have been many times where Pentagon has forced a retreat from particular gifts - F16s, for example, after Z and Biden announced them. Ukraine still hasn't gotten a US plane, the EU has had to send the half dozen or so they have.

With the Israeli war, you can see the State Dept/UN faction at cross purposes with the old line Israel supporters.

I'm not a big tariffs guy, but if you levied a tariff on a countries product so that the cost of the good accounted for the other countries use of child labor and poor ecological policies, and other things that make foreign products cheaper that we can't do, then that might work.

Call it an equity tariff or some lefty trope word.

Trump's not going to say that it's a negotiating lever, but that's exactly what it is. This is why he's going all-in on saying that he loves tariffs. He's getting the rest of the world to believe he means that, and when he becomes POTUS again that is where he's going to start negotiations.

When a former "community activist" leaves office with multiple mansions, a jet set business calendar, and George Soros on speed dial, it's hard for the people to relate from that. it's like, where's Barry when it's Dodge City on a Saturday Night - every day - in Chicago?

413 ***I have noted just some of the many, many times Kamala sent her staffers out to explain away her ineffectualness and unpopularity with the claim that Biden and his staffers are "failing to position Kamala for success."***
------------

She doesn't know any better. She was raised in an elitist bubble cocooned by her professorial family and their cohorts. She was cute little Kamala and that was the role she was taught to play.
- The priest said (paraphrasing) give me the child and at age eight I will give you the person. The die was cast in the rarefied cloisters of California.

Then mom was so radical dad divorced her and they took off for French Canada where her dumb beginning was reinforced and nurtured.

She doesn't know that she's an idiot (she's not dumb) She's a nine year old monster.

414 I'd add Lloyd Bentsen on the Senate side. He became Slick's first Treasury secretary. He vamoosed after the Branch Davidian debacle. Posted by: mrp at October 15, 2024 01:26 PM (rj6Yv)

And the odious George Mitchell. Actually, if you look at both sides of the aisle, in those days the Senate had some real heavyweights.

415 Urbanized Democrat leftists expressed the same thing during the Moon Shots of Apollo. Basically they wanted more government cheese for themselves.

NASA's budget was trivial, they just hated exploration for its own sake.

The commercials seem to feature sultry, big-boobed women dressed in plunging cleavage telling guys who can't get it up how they can have them.

Well he's building his Imperial Castle / Library on the South side. Maybe he will have a moat around it.

418 Back in the day, Ike did that too as president. Eggheads wanted Stevenson as prezzie twice because they thought he was more intelligent. Posted by: whig at October 15, 2024 01:29 PM (bt/Nj)

They used to have cartoons of Ike barbecuing and golfing. Ike was an experienced executive who expected people to do their staff work and give him one-page briefs on every issue, and who had no problem making decisions.

Which is how you’re supposed to lead. Liberalism attracts micromanagers though, and they think delegation is a sign of weakness.

And all Adlai could do was hold up a shoe with hole in the sole to show how hard he was working the shake and greet line.

423 Just another entitled over-privileged woman with no real accomplishments demanding some man do all the heavy lifting for her. Then she can bask in the limelight. No responsibility, no accountability for her own behavior.
