RCP’s Zane-Kamala Harris and the “Impossible” Kamala Harris Challenge

Most people are beginning to know Kamala Harris (D), the Democratic Party's candidate for president after Joe Biden (D) stepped aside due to pressure from within his own party after his debate against deposed 45th President Donald J. Trump (R). According to his bio in brief: “J. Peder Zane is an editor for RealClearInvestigations and a columnist for RealClearPolitics.” Last week, Zane published a fact-backed op-ed about what Real Clear Politics (RCP) called: “Kamala Harris’ Impossible Challenge.” Most of the content from that article by Zane is found below in Part I, which RCP allows to be republished with proper credit. Zane and RCP's important article saved me some time organizing similar points that are shared below, but additional information by this writer citing other sources and related information will be provided in Part II.

Part I

Kamala Harris’ Impossible Challenge

J. Peder Zane, RealClearPolitics

Kamala Harris is roundly criticized for feeding America a steady diet of word salads. But what else can she do, given her impossible task of making the Democratic Party’s progressive policies palatable to the American people?

To appreciate Harris’ challenge, note that none of her top surrogates have been able to square that circle either. There is no Democrat who makes you think, why can’t our candidate just say that – as Sen. Tom Cotton and Vivek Ramaswamy do for Republicans while describing Donald Trump’s policies. Harris’ stand-ins may not get lost in the weeds of pablum, as Harris did last week when she told a crowd, “I grew up understanding the children of the community are the children of the community.” But when they are not comparing Trump to Hitler, her representatives are as gauzy and incoherent as she is.

No wonder. How could anyone:

• Assure voters you can secure the border when you have allowed millions to set up residency here during the last four years in the belief that no one is illegal?
• Convince voters that you support fracking when you have cast climate change as an existential crisis?
• Trumpet your commitment to freedom when you pressure social media platforms to censor speech you don’t like?
• Pose as a centrist when you have rewritten Title IX to mandate that biological males be allowed to compete against girls?
• Champion equal opportunity for all when you demand special privileges for favored groups?
• Celebrate the goodness of the American people when you have embraced the idea that our country is irredeemably racist?
• Decry the weaponization of the justice system when you have repeatedly used it to go after your political enemies?
• Defend the sanctity of our country’s institutions when you have relentlessly attacked the Supreme Court because it issued rulings you oppose?
• Proclaim yourself a champion of democracy when you repeatedly circulate the fiction that Donald Trump conspired with Vladimir Putin to steal the 2016 election and when you tainted the 2020 election by fraudulently claiming that Hunter Biden’s laptop was a “Russian disinformation”?
• Claim you are Israel’s stalwart friend when your calls for a cease-fire would allow the butchers of Oct. 7 to retain power in Gaza?

In fairness, the silver-tongued Pericles might cry uncle if asked to find the words to untie such Gordian Knots. To expect the lead-tongued Harris – or her supporters – to accomplish that is unrealistic. If they could, they would. They can’t, so they don’t.

Yes, Harris and her surrogates could tell the truth about their intentions to continue the unpopular and feckless policies the Biden administration has imposed on the country during the last four years. But there’s an election to win.

The brazenness of their deception is breathtaking. Consider Harris’ refusal to meet the press. She’ll take softball questions from carefully selected local outlets but flatly refuses to hold unscripted press conferences that might include a few challenging questions. Her handlers’ apparent fear is that she will come across as incoherent – not because she is stupid, but because she has to say something, so long as it’s not the truth about her record and her party’s goals.

The press corps is happy to play along, pretending her unscripted silence is normal. It’s not. It’s a scandal.

Instead, the media is helping her run out the clock by seizing on every opportunity to cast Trump in a bad light. One would never guess that America and the world face monumental challenges – e.g., the high cost of living, soaring debt, shooting wars abroad, assassination attempts at home – from campaign coverage whose focus has moved from J.D. Vance’s comments about “cat ladies,” Trump’s visit to Arlington Cemetery, and claims that migrants are eating pets in Springfield, Ohio. Wouldn’t it be nice if these really were the most pressing issues we face?

For his part, Trump is hardly running a stellar campaign...But he was president for four years. Four years marked by peace and prosperity. He was well-positioned to win a second term until the pandemic struck, and Democrats successfully used the crisis to blame him for every death while rewriting the rules of the election.

Nevertheless, Trump is an open book. What you see is what you get. For all his vagueness, his successful presidency tells us how he will govern.

We also know how Harris will govern. She will double down on Biden administration policies, including open borders, inflationary spending, piles of debt, and divisive rhetoric that have led the vast majority of voters to say we are on the wrong track.

We’ve seen this movie before. Following Joe Biden’s disingenuous 2020 playbook, the Harris campaign is casting her as a freedom-loving, common-sense centrist who seeks a return to normalcy. In fairness to the American people, who would have expected Biden to swerve so sharply left? Four years later, the Democrats’ goals are clear. Fool us once, shame on you. Fool us twice, shame on us. ##

Part II - Additional Information with More Analysis and Commentary

Kamala Harris' (D) supposedly "impossible" challenge is to somehow overcome the realities of Kamala Harris' own words, the odd endorsements that they are gleefully accepting, and her party's behavior during the past 3.5 years of the Biden-Harris administration.

Politicians, as well as some trade group's and certain businesses, may try to have it both ways. But people who are able to think for themselves, when presented with sufficient facts, can often come to intelligent conclusions based upon enough evidence-based truth.

Democrats used to be known by millions as a party that supported peace. But now, under Biden-Harris led Democrats, they are oddly embracing the endorsement of Dick Cheney (R), the vice president for President George W. Bush who has been credibly accused of using massive misinformation to get the U.S. and allies into a decades-long war in Iraq. Democrats embracing the endorsement of Dick Cheney, a man that Democrats for years deemed "war monger," is an example of doublethink and doublespeak.

Fair is fair. Among the media outlets that follow, most of them are left-leaning media, yet they have called out the obvious hypocrisy of Kamala Harris (D) and Democrats oddly celebrating the endorsement of accused "war monger" Dick Cheney (R). Among the media operations shown below, the Washington Examiner is right-leaning, but many if not most of those sources are left-leaning. The Jacobin, for example, is an openly pro-socialist publication.

That said, some in mainstream media are ignoring the obviously Orwellian hypocrisy of Harris-Walz led Democrats.

Or how about the left-leaning New York Times and others reporting that Kamala Harris is endorsed by over 700 past and current members of the military-industrial-spy complex?

The Harris campaign has sent out emails blasting Trump (R) for having billionaire backers. Trump does have some, but Harris (D) has more. Harris also has more current and prior CEOs (88 at the time of the still below) backing her. The duplicity by Democrats and the Harris campaign is thus brazen and revealing.

If all news media played it straight down the middle, not slanting their coverage either for or against Harris or for or against Trump, and just presented the facts, Harris and Walz would have no chance of winning. That is what Zane's column is conveying.

But the sad reality is this. Millions are likely to vote for Harris and Democrats not based on her record or policies, but based instead on a false image.

If every American who can legally vote understood that the Harris-Biden regime tolerated hundreds of thousands of convicted criminals to enter the U.S. and stay here, including over 28,000 convicted murders and rapists, that would by itself sink their campaign and that of dozens of Democrats running for Congress. And that data is per a Democratic official. See that letter linked below.

That is deception and misdirection or paltering, posturing, and projection in action. Time will tell if Kamala and her backers in big tech, big media, and big government pull this off. See the video and related reports to learn more. ##
