Quote:Vice President Kamala Harris is set to accept her party’s nomination for president in a speech that will amount to must-see TV.

Must see. Like a train wreck.

The party that once gave you the soaring oratory of Barack Obama’s "Hope and Change" sermon in 2008 (or even his "red states/blue states" speech in 2004) now shifts the spotlight to a candidate who can barely put together a string of cohesive sentences on a good day.

She is cringe. She is awkward. She is incapable.

The phrase "word salad" trends on social media on just about any occasion that Harris speaks publicly. It’s why her campaign has desperately sought to hide her in a basement, locked away from the spotlight like Rapunzel in a tower.

Why? Because she can’t speak. When she does speak, she talks in circles. When she talks in circles, the nervous cackle comes out.

Then, it’s on to speeches about her fascination with yellow school buses and Venn diagrams.

And it’s just weird.

Harris gave a little pep talk to football players from Aliquippa Junior/Senior High School in Pennsylvania on Sunday. The speech didn’t exactly call to mind the legendary Knute Rockne.

The presumptive Democrat nominee urged the players to become role models and to "excel," which will lead to "excellence."

Take a look at this motivational masterpiece:

“By doing that and all that that requires — which is the hard work; the practice; working as a team; knowing that you will be undefeated, even if you don’t win every game, but no circumstance or event or moment will defeat your spirit and your fight and your preparedness to win and excel, that nothing will dampen your spirit of excellence — that’s what I’m counting on from each of you and that’s what makes our nation strong.”

It's a word salad. A super-weird word salad. Like a toddler discovering words for the first time, employing them every chance they get regardless of their meaning.

The leader of the Democrat Party isn’t simply failing to offer inspiration for life. She also fails to offer words of comfort during difficult times.

Howard University lost to Kansas during last year’s NCAA men’s basketball tournament. Unfortunately for them, Harris was there to try and pick up the pieces of their shattered lives.

"So I know you may not be feeling great right now, OK, but know who you are. You are excellence. You are hard work. You are powerful, and you are winners,” she told the game’s losers.

Herb Brooks’ "Miracle on Ice" speech ain’t got nothin’ on Kamala.

It isn’t just her inability to grasp the concept of sporting events – "You’re undefeated if you don’t win every game, you’re winners even when you lose" – that shows her inability to form coherent thoughts.

(And think about that for a moment. We’re just weeks removed from a presidential candidate who didn’t have the brain wave capacity to tie his own shoes, and Harris still looks intellectually inferior.)

It seems incredibly unlikely that Kamala will be able to elucidate actual policy positions in her upcoming DNC speech.

Does anybody recall her speech regarding “children of the community” outside of the Children’s National Hospital in Washington?

“When we talk about the children of the community, they are a children of the community,” the vice president said.

Upon completing that deep thought, Harris delivered her trademark grin at the end as if to say, "Yea, I just nailed that."

Narrator: She didn’t nail it.

Kamala Harris is the greatest orator the DNC currently has to offer.

“Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time …” – Barack Obama.

“Ask not what your country can do for you …” – JFK.

“Four score and seven years ago …” – Abraham Lincoln.

And on to … “Children of the community … are a children of the community … “ - Kamala Harris.

If that doesn’t get voters' juices flowing, how about this?

Harris was speaking to a group from historically Black colleges and universities last year when the host asked people in the room essentially to "Please clap."

Even then, they didn’t.

Now We Know Why Kamala And The Media Don’t Want To Talk Policy

Quote:There was a revealing exchange at the very end of Monday’s edition of The New York Times “The Daily” podcast that is worth remembering as Democrats psych themselves up with a convention this week.

Asked what a potential Kamala Harris administration might look like, politics reporter Astead Herndon laughed. “We don’t know what type of president she would be,” he admitted. He said it’s not even clear if it would be any different from Joe Biden’s presidency but that it doesn’t really matter anyway. “Frankly, if you ask any Democrat, they would say that’s tomorrow’s problem, and as long as she wins the election and stops Donald Trump from winning another term, they don’t care,” he said. “They really don’t care. They’ll deal with that then.”

In short, Democrats have no interest in hearing anything that sounds even remotely like policy or legislative action from Kamala. That’s “tomorrow’s problem.”

No wonder. Her first attempt late last week at putting forth what might tangentially be called “ideas” confounded everyone cheering for her (the national news media). To date, Kamala’s policy proposals are limited to axing federal taxes on gratuities (which she stole from Trump), a child tax credit (which she stole from her boss), and a $25,000 giveaway for first-time home buyers (the sort of proposal every economist not named “Paul Krugman” would laugh at). Oh, and best of all, her proposal for a “federal ban on price gauging on food.” She presumably meant “gouging” but, yes, she said, gauging.

To be sure, it’s not as if the press is “turning on her,” as Fox News people like to say anytime a Democrat is mildly criticized by the media from the left. If that were true, Axios would have called her first-time home buyer giveaway stupid as hell and unworthy of acknowledgment. Instead, Axios said it was “hard to see how this plan would affect [housing] prices and availability in a meaningful way.” The Washington Post didn’t call her blurbs sophomoric and unserious, but rather “gimmicks” that are simply “misguided.“

But we don’t have a legitimate news media, we have the American news media, so we take what we can get.

In any event, it remains just as true today as it did last month and for the duration of the three years before that — that Kamala is in over her head, has no interest in governance, and is incapable of selling a vision, because she has none.

That’s why you keep hearing about “vibes” and “joy.” She can’t talk about anything else, and as the Times’ Astead Herndon said, they don’t want her to. Because she can’t. When she tries, it’s an embarrassment. Embarrassments lose elections.

Kamala talking about policy will lose Democrats this election.

Seriously. What is wrong with Kamala?

She's nervous. Everybody knows she whored her way into power in CA. She knows at some point she's going to have to debate trump and can't re-run the same script from her rallies. The chickens are coming home to roost as they say. As has been hinted, she MIGHT ALSO be trying to cope w/ alcohol.

You also have to consider who she's speaking to. A lot of the Dem base is stupid... like really, REALLY stupid, literally low IQ flunkies.

Yeah, let's elect somebody who gets nervous in front of crowds and has anxiety issues. Really really really great idea.

She clearly has anxiety and nervous issues. I can’t fault her for that as lots of people deal with those things but the issue at hand is what is her coping mechanisms to deal with them? If it’s alcohol, winging it with word salads hiding altogether to deal with then it’s a problem this nation can’t afford aside from her Marxist ideology

But according to the media, JD Vance is weird.

She is almost as much of a blithering idiot as Biden*

Chemically moderated (enhanced?) imposter syndrome.

don't we already have a thread on this?

The drunk whore thread. One of my better ones i must say.

Threadbot$$$ doesn't care about that. He just spreads the propaganda. You can easily see it since it was a seamless transition from Biden to Harris and Shapiro to Walz.

So if they were undefeated even if they didn't win every game... I would like Kamala to explain to me then why UC was not in the CFP!!!

But republicans have to get her to talk about policy. And Donald Trump's personal attacks are not the way to do that. This election needs to be about issues, not personalities, but that's almost impossible with Trump.

The same puppeteers that Ol' Foggy has/had are the ones that will be pulling the strings for QueMala. Anyone that really believes she will run the country is a fool. Her "advisors" aka her puppeteers will be running the show. All she is, like Biden, is the figurehead on a ship, looking majestic but not doing a thing to get the ship there. She'll be just as delighted to have the title of president and not having to manage the country. Madam President has a very good ring for her and she'll be wearing a blue suit with the pronouns She/It.

Yeah. Propaganda from the right is rampant.

Thankfully, we have outlets like CNN, MSNBC, NPR, WaPo, NYT, and the major networks to provide non-biased, honest reporting.
