Quote:Kamala Harris is continuing her push toward yet another run for president, and that's leading to some awkward exchanges. As RedState reported, the failed 2024 Democrat nominee and former vice president is peddling a new book, doing her best to rewrite history in her favor. Part of that requires convincing Americans that she wasn't given a fair shot, both because of Joe Biden's late exit from the race and the dynamics surrounding President Donald Trump.

Of course, that's not really the truth, is it? She's going to try, though, and that apparently includes claiming her 2024 campaign was "3D chess" in which she outmaneuvered Trump.

HARRIS: I was aware of my opponent's strategy, and I wasn't about to fall prey, or fall into those traps, and part of his strategy and those around him were to try to take me off our game and message. And I wasn't about to be distracted by those little flames, those flames that he was trying to throw, to get me away from what of, my highest priority, which was talking to people about the economy and their wellbeing in terms of their financial wellbeing. And that's, so I understood the game that was being played, and I made the decision that I wasn't gonna get played.

(Laughter)

HOST: Chess, not checkers

HARRIS: Yeah, three-dimensional chess, I'm telling you!

Man, she's not good at this. I know it's an overused joke at this point, but she sounds inebriated with her fumbling over words and slow pace of speech halfway through. Whether she actually is or not isn't really the point. The point is that whatever is to blame, her delivery and personal connection to any audience are severely lacking. Even the way she constantly changes her accent and grammar comes across as nakedly inauthentic, which has been her biggest downfall from the beginning. You can convince people to vote for bad ideas, as sad a reality as that is, but it's hard to convince people to vote for someone who is so clearly manufactured.

The mistake for Democrats would be assuming she can finally turn a corner. It's like sticking with a starting quarterback who played an entire season and never won a game. Whatever redeeming qualities you might think exist, you can't keep running it back with someone so flawed. None of this would be a question if Harris didn't check multiple intersectional boxes that provide an immediate boost within the party. Heck, none of us would know her name because she never would have gotten as far as she did. That's the minefield Democrats had to navigate in 2024 in handing her the nomination without a fight, and they'll have to navigate it again in 2028.

As for the idea that she was playing (and allegedly winning) "three-dimensional chess" against Trump, I think the results speak for themselves. Bragging about a strategy that failed miserably speaks to a clinical level of hubris, but again, the point here is to pretend she was facing a no-win situation. In her mind, if she had just been given the entire cycle, her message would have pierced the hearts of voters, and everything would have been different. That was never the case, and if anything, the shortened timeframe following Joe Biden's pull-out ranged from benefiting her (especially early on) to being a wash. Harris is who she is. She's never going to get better at this, and Democrats can fail to learn that lesson at their own peril. Nothing would make Republicans happier, though.

Harris: Cackle cackle.. I'm not Vice President either, what's your point?

We are all 3 dimensional. That's how our universe is. The phrase is "4-dimensional chess," so she can't even steal catch phrases correctly.

She can't be any worse than a President Newsom, AOC or JC.

Wait, did the interviewer really ask that question? I didn’t watch but I thought she was only talking to friendly/supportive people who ask “respectful” (LOL) questions.
