Kamala’s Campaign Hemorrhaging

Won’t be Fooled Again

Despite new assertions by Kamala Harris that Donald Trump is a “fascist,” a “dictator,” and “unfit for office,” her talking points do not seem to be stopping the hemorrhaging of her presidential campaign.

Voters won’t be fooled, writes Victor Davis Hanson in American Greatness. They see the two antithetical views:

1. On the one hand, Trump’s prior 2017-20 concrete record: border security, no major wars abroad, calm in the Middle East, a deterred Russia, Iran, and China, low inflation, low interest rates, lower crime, lower taxes, strong deterrent military—and opposition to mandatory electric vehicle mandates, biological males competing in women’s sports, and the woke/DEI agenda.
2. On the other hand, the Biden/Harris 2021-2024 record: the unchecked entry of 12-20 million illegal aliens and a destroyed border. People still struggle under Biden-Harris’s earlier hyperinflation and high interest rates. The horrific regional wars in Ukraine and the Middle East continue. Biden-Harris embraces the unpopular DEI/Woke agenda.

Kamala Harris will never admit it, but she knows the Biden/Harris years were a failure. That’s why she has flipped-flopped on so many issues.

• No more defunding the police.
• Pivoting for a secure border, not 20 million illegal aliens pouring across it.
• Bragging about fossil fuel energy, not banning fracking
• Increasing, not cutting, defense

Weaponizing the CIA/FBI

Harris, mouthing ad nauseum January 6^th, persuades no one that Donald Trump is a danger to anyone. Recall how Harris bragged for far more violent demonstration in 2020. She encouraged that the unrest “should not” stop. At the same time, she was drumming up support to bail out jailed violent protesters.

The slur that Trump is a fascist does not resonate, continues VDH:

The Obama and Biden-Harris administrations weaponized the CIA and FBI to interfere in the 2016 and 2020 elections by peddling the fake Steele dossier and suppressing all the embarrassing news about Hunter Biden’s incriminating laptop.

Trump certainly did not coordinate, as Biden did, with local, state, and federal prosecutors to wage lawfare prosecutions to destroy his political opponents. He did not use the FBI to partner with social media to suppress the news.

What Trump and Republicans Did Not Do

• Neither Trump nor his supporters tried to remove Joe Biden from state ballots.
• The Republican House majority did not impeach Biden twice despite the Biden family’s corruption and Joe Biden’s unlawful, decades-long removal of classified papers to several insecure private residences.
• Trump and the Republicans never coercively removed the party’s primary-winning nominee.
• Trump and the Republicans did not nullify the will of 14 million primary voters.in backroom fashion, they did not anoint a candidate who had never entered a single primary in her life.

An Ugly, Vicious Paradigm 

Where were the Biden/Harris administration’s high standards that made them accuse Trump of being unfit and lacking decorum?

• Having a trans activist reveal his breasts on camera at a White House “pride party?”

• Joe Biden’s reportedly calling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “a f—ing idiot” and “son of a b—ch?”

• Bragging about locking Trump up, while waging lawfare against him?

• Unleashing son Hunter Biden with impunity to shake down foreign governments?

Only two things matter, advises Mr. Hanson: Which candidate’s past record and current agenda best appeal to voters? And which candidate seems the most authentic and genuine?
