Last night, I missed the full-length interview with Kamala Harris, a presidential candidate. Today, I viewed a CNN segment of her performance. Here are my takeaways: 1.) It was strange to see her pick for VP sitting at her elbow during the questioning. I had visions of how she would use him if she became president. The first image was of the 3:00 a.m. phone call to alert the president that a nuclear bomb was headed to the USA. Will the Vice President be by her side in bed? How would she handle the situation, or would he do it? 2.) What has changed your mind on the shift toward policy that is the opposite of your previous position? Her response was that her values have not changed. What that told me is that she hasn’t changed her positions at all. She is however, using Bill Clinton’s technique for winning elections. “Tell them whatever to win, then do what you want after.”
I didn’t find the full interview, so I switched gears to move on. I will surely see the entire interview in tiny segments throughout the week. I saw enough to convince me that Kamala is not presidential material. Afterward, I watched an interview with Tulsi Gabbard, a former congresswoman defending Trump. Now, she is an example of a woman we could trust in the White House: poised, confident, eloquent, and determined. I’d love to see her debate Kamala without any babysitters present.
When it is all said and done, none of the above matters. Kamala is going to win because she has the Obama halo. She is half black, educated (but not smart), deflects challenging situations with a cackle, and is a woman.
