Quote:Are you ready for yet another Kamala Harris reboot? The embattled vice president has been "reintroduced" to the American people more times than the McRib at this point. Over and over, press outlets give her the kid glove treatment in an attempt to assert her supposed political chops.

This time, it was 60 Minutes' turn. What began with a drooling puff piece descended into an abject disaster.

Ah yes, Harris is a savvy player. That's why her political career has been continuously bolstered by shady dealings and failures. To become vice president, Joe Biden had to essentially pluck her off the trash heap of candidates who didn't even make it to Iowa, and unlike everyone else in that race, Harris was actually the frontrunner for a significant period of time. It wasn't as if she was facing an incumbent and came up short. She was the current thing for Democrats and the press for most of 2019.

Her collapse was organic, not the result of pre-existing factors, and it happened because she's easily one of the least capable and least likable politicians of the last century. Identity politics is why she's where she is, not because she's actually good at this.

For a perfect example of that, here's Harris announcing that Joe Biden is indeed alive.

You know things are going gangbusters when the Vice President of the United States has to let everyone know that the president is still alive. No worries, though. All the current administration needs to do is let people know who "brung it to 'em."

What the administration has "brung" is nearly an 18 percent cumaliative price increase on Americans since taking office along with interest rates so high that home ownership is now prohibitive for nearly everyone.

It is astonishing to me that Harris is still suggesting that the problem is simply a lack of effective messaging. No, the economy is in shambles, propped up by outrageous government spending that manages to keep GDP afloat. It's in an unsustainable spiral whereby wages are "up" but the cost of everything is so much higher that real wages are down.

60 Minutes did its best to cover for those issues. That also didn't go well.

You have to love the quesiton, which assumes everything is just going great. Regardless, the confidence Harris shows is obviously manufactured. Right now, she and Biden are about as popular as toe fungus.

What worried me the most from the interview was this next clip, though.

Remember when Harris went to Europe to warn Russia not to invade Ukraine and then the next day Vladimir Putin moved into the Donbas region? If there's one thing we know holds zero value in this world, it's a warning from the Biden administration. So yeah, I guess we are going to war with Iran.

All that said, the overarching theme here was just how stagnant Harris is as a politician. Despite yet another reboot attempt, she remains just as terrible as she's always been. There is no saving her as a presidential prospect. Democrats played the identity politics game, and now they are stuck with one of the worst candidates in modern history.

It has been interesting to watch the passive-aggressive ways in which Biden’s handlers have repeatedly thrown Harris under the bus these past 3 years. And while the Harris team has typically suffered these embarrassments in silence, she has thrown some shade back at Biden’s direction here and there. The “Joe Biden is very much alive and well” quote is a classic example.

I'm picturing her cronies standing behind the camera with signs that say "DON'T LAUGH".

I don’t know who, personally, edited the interview before it went on the air, but I doubt that Harris would’ve even agreed to do it unless she knew and trusted that person to leave out the embarrassing parts.

I joked to my wife - it probably took 3-4 weeks to film and edit this interview to attempt to make it remotely watchable.

With that smirk on THE SOB's face not even he believes it. The only future he's thinking about is which flavor of ice cream he'll get next...and that his pampers are dry before he buys it. Lactose intolerance is a good equalizer, it doesn't matter if you're rich or poor you can get it and I think he might have it. Did you notice that I'm learning from the MSM where they use the words, "may, maybe, might, could, etc" I said "might" which may be proven correct.

She is just so terrible at everything. Even worse than Biden

This is all so much like a long bad episode of some cross genre television series mixing science and politics. It's all so damn scripted. They are never off script in the public eye, ever. Even if they make themselves look like idiots they'll stick to the script. It's freaking weird.

Bwahahah!

She is such a dumpster fire

It’s a disaster because she is a disaster.

She’s absolutely awful. A pathetic excuse of a Vice President

Apparently her team coached her not to cackle.

Way too many words in the subject line. It should have read:

Kamala Harris is an abject disaster

"Brung".
Is she trying to talk like the "basket of deplorables"?

The utter lack of self-awareness and sincerity is mind-boggling.

Classic case of someone who should be fired but instead is bumped up the ladder.

She has never lost an election, although she did have to bail out of her presidential campaign about 4 years ago, before the primaries started.

2003 • San Francisco D.A.: won against Democrat incumbent
2007 • San Francisco D.A.: won unopposed.
2010 • California Attorney General: won against GOP nominee 46.1% to 45.3%
2014 • California Attorney General: won run-off against GOP candidate 57.5% to 42.5%
2016 • California US Senate (Barbara Boxer retired): led nonpartisan primary with 39.9%. Won run-off against another Democrat candidate 61.6% to 38.4%
2020 • Biden/Harris: won Electoral College 306-232. Approx 51% of popular vote.
