The Greatest Hits of Kamala Harris

If Joe Biden had decided not to run before the Democratic primary this cycle, it's very unlikely that Kamala Harris would have prevailed in an open primary race. She went down to a blistering defeat, dropping out early in the 2020 race after failing to gain much momentum. 

But the Democratic elites who knew there was a problem with Joe Biden decided they were going to roll the dice with him and hope they could sneak him by, until it became clear to them he was hemorrhaging support and was going to lose. That's the only reason we're where we are now. So they went around the primary process to make a selection rather than an election. So much for their protection of democracy. 

But when you get right down to it, what is Kamala known for? 

Her relationship with former California powerbroker and San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, her cackling, her word salads, and her failure to do anything on the one job it seemed she'd been given by Biden -- doing something about the border. 

Not exactly a good resume. Plus, she's tied to every bad thing that Biden has done while he's occupied the office. She went along with everything and she knew about Biden's problems, so she's complicit. As my colleague Mike Miller wrote, the Trump team dropped a great ad that nails her for the complicity.

When you're most known for the mystifying way you talk, there could be a problem. 

Let's walk through some of Harris' greatest hits. There are so many of them, so I'll just hit the highlights. 

Let's go back to August 2019 when she got trounced by Tulsi Gabbard on the national stage during a Democratic primary debate. 

Who can forget when she said we had a long and enduring alliance with North Korea? 

How about when she claimed she'd been to the border? When she was told that wasn't true, she said well, she also hadn't been to Europe. How about, "How important it is to work together so that we can work together?" And let us not forget about that passage of time and the great significance to the passage of time. You know when we talk about the children of the community, guess what? They're the children of the community. And let's not forget all the wild cackling. 

There was this fun moment when she didn't understand they were protesting her, so she clapped along mindlessly. 

Did you just fall out of a coconut tree, and do you love yellow school buses and Venn diagrams? 

One of my absolute favorites -- this is a perfect example of how far Democrats have fallen.

"I am Kamala Harris, my pronouns are she and her, and I am a woman sitting at the table wearing a blue suit," she said. She even had to look at her suit to confirm what she was saying. 

There are so many, so forgive me if I didn't hit one you love. She's got to be considered the inside favorite at this point. But she still has very bad numbers against former President Donald Trump, and some of the elites have yet to endorse her, which to me says they're looking for someone other than her, if they can.
